About this ebook
Thomas Francis Adams
A Roman Catholic faith healer, stigmatic, Knight of Columbus, Boy Scout, future Harvard engineer, scientist, medical doctor, economist, decathlete, secular Franciscan, deacon and theologian, and a soon-to-be Roman Catholic saint, the author is the first-born, illegitimate, offspring of a wealthy pharmaceutical salesman from Georgetown, Guyana, and the valedictorian of Perote, Alabama, high school, class of 1955, both now deceased. Born in Brooklyn, New York, on May 16, 1961, Jesus and his angels sang out for joy at the moment of his birth! The Messiah confirms the fact that his soul has no beginning and no end. An "A+” student in the first grade and an “A” student most of the rest of the time, his I.Q. doesn’t measure over 112 on any official record which is something he has never believed. He is the first Black captain of a White athletic team in world history and at a Christian high school, the greatest man ever to enter the Ivy League, the greatest Boy Scout in the history of scouting, although not an Eagle, and is the greatest track and field athlete of modern times pound-per-pound. The author attended The Robert F. Kennedy Incentive Program, Brooklyn, New York, Saint Francis Preparatory high, Fresh Meadows, New York, and Cornell University, Ithaca, New York between 1972 and 1983. Never groomed for success by an inept family, he failed before and after entering college. More ambitious than ever, however, by the time the author comes back from all his trouble, it will be clear why he is indeed the greatest man God ever knew – the most important Christian in the history Christendom. After scoring in the 99th percentile on a recent practice A.C.T. college entrance exam with a bad memory now and his confidence in his math completely shaken, his surety about his falsified records has been vindicated. The author worships Jesus, the Messiah, from all tabernacles of all faiths - Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, etc - at least once a year as well as at his own Catholic parish in New York City. He lives in southeast Brooklyn.

RESUME
This book is dedicated to the Kingdom of G-d whose presence in the world has been constantly curtailed by the sin of man. You would think that G-d was a failure. Since G-d definitely is not a failure, the inevitable re-advance of his true kingdom is heartily welcomed herein. Its re-arrival portends a greater measure of success for the both of us, for we are kindred spirits - I and G-d.
I am from ancient times, and mine is an ancient voice.
Tommy Francis Adams in a letter to Pope John Paul II dated
January, 2003
Preface
If you are baptized and have the H-ly Sp-rit, you can ask the Alm-ghty who the greatest man he ever knew was, and he will tell you my name. The reasons I am divine are that I am a Boy Scout and I am preternatural, and, as such, am paranormal, not paranoid. There are several reasons for the H-ly Gh-st’s statement about me: (1) I am the greatest man J-sus ever created; (2) I am the greatest athlete pound-per-pound of all time behind J-sus and the F-ther; (3) I am the greatest writer of all time; (4) I am the fourth greatest teacher of the law of Moses in the Cosmos; (5) I am the fourth most powerful man in the universe; (6) I have the highest I.Q. on planet earth; (7) I am the greatest Christian saint in the history of the world; (8) I am an archangel; (9) and I am J-sus’ closest friend next to his F-ther and mother. J-sus testifies about all of this by way of the H-ly Sp-rit. I am greater than all the kings and great thinkers of human history, videlicet, greater than all the great men of the Bible from Abraham to Moses to David to Solomon to John the Baptist. Because I am greater than all the Popes that have ever lived, including Saint Peter to whom the keys of the Kingdom of G-d were given, the true apostolic succession of the Church of Chr-st rests firmly in my hands! I sit on the Sanhedrin of G-d, that is, not that of the nation of Israel but of the heavens, and have been sent in this day and age to reunify the Church of Chr-st and to return the nation of Israel to its ancient ways.
The above statements are extremely intriguing since, at the moment, I am a bit of a flop. Great men can and do fail sometimes for all kinds of reasons, and it is interesting that G-d always uses the things that are not to negate the things that are. This is quite a natural situation, of course, but a difficult one for me; He has chosen me of all people - a flop - to make the most important theological statements of modern times; yet the facts do tend to indicate that what the Sp-rit has to say must be true, for I am not the average man by any stretch of the imagination. The fact of the matter is that if the children of this world (restricting ourselves to the kings of it) are successful, responsible, happy, fulfilled and sane then people who are not of it have to be none of these things on the surface.; given these facts, it can be seen plainly herein that I am, indeed, the second greatest man in human history; indeed, I have become Vishnu – the destroyer of worlds! Fortunately, my situation is only temporary; at last there will be peace on earth; this I can personally guarantee, for there is absolutely nothing wrong with my mind! Many people know that J-sus can bring men low; what they don’t realize is that He can also put them right back where they belong and that they that sow trouble will reap it themselves from the L-rd.
I couldn’t escape the feeling in the summer of 1987, a low point in my life, that something very important was about to happen in it; I felt that G-d was about to speak through me and I wanted to get every word down for posterity; what ensued was one of the strangest episodes in recorded history, culminating in the event captured on page 59 of this book. Many people did not believe the statements on page 59 for a long time, and I have spent most of the last ten years trying to get someone to publish this book. What some had to remember about what they read in this book is that Abraham believed G-d, and it was accorded to him as righteousness. By the end of 2005, however, G-d had vindicated every statement made in it, including those in the opening paragraph, by having me successfully predict the hurricane Katrina disaster six months in advance to the President of the United States and Pope John Paul II. I have done this kind of thing numerous times in my life, for I am a prophet; every baptized Christian is a prophet whether you know this or not. 2005 essentially saw the end of Islam and Judaism both, preparing the way for the establishment of G-d’s true Kingdom here. It was at least partially expected that most folk would not believe my story; I am quite happy to have been fully vindicated by the powers above, however; I have told some fibs in my lifetime (very few for an inner-city guy), but the details of this book are all true. Why else would I have bothered to copyright the text. At any rate, it is my story - the story of one of the most powerful kings in the cosmos.
Taken in context, …:the Diary of Saint Thomas the Divine,
represents another look directly into the processes that lay behind the writing of sacred scripture. If you want to know who wrote the Bible and how it was written, just take a look at this book. I am the only author of the Bible alive today, as far as I know. Diary
is monumental in all respects, and I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had writing it. The H-ly Sp-rit can be used to confirm all its observations; the Sp-rit is very easy to read; it is that spirit that said to you when you were a young person memorize that encyclopedia
or read the words, don’t just look at the pictures
or memorize the dictionary;
always give in to the H-ly Sp-rit; never, never, never ignore it; avoid every person or institution that weakens it in your life. If you always do what it says, you will be one of the world’s great kings, and you will wind up in G-d’s face as opposed to out of it. The H-ly Sp-rit, in fact, is the author of a great deal of this book; all the facts, other than some of the ones concerning myself - particularly The Fundamental Equation of Judeo-Christian Theology and Satan’s gap
- are attributable to the H-ly Gh-st. For instance, I knew nothing about Uncle Remus; I had to go to the library and research this topic after I wrote it down! A lot of this book was written in this manner, and this is what makes the book so awesome! For this reason, however, I cannot give you any idea where some of the statements contained herein come from; it is as if part of my psyche is being co-opted by some strange force from another dimension. Why this would happen to me in particular is a good question; there are likely numerous reasons but the main one is that I am the greatest man of my day.
This is the first of more than forty books I will write over the coming decades. It has an appendix which is divided into three parts: letters, pastorals, and my resume; in it you will find the original letter addressed to George W. Bush as well as to numerous other dignitaries in the United States and around the world that prepared the end of Islam and Judaism; everyone from Ehud Olmert and Ariel Sharon to King John Carlos of Spain and Tony Blair has been contacted by me; the letters in the letters section are reproduced as they were in the interest of historical accuracy - they have not been edited and may contain numerous solecisms; as I progress as a writer these will no doubt disappear; the letters and pastorals were prepared for the consulting firm I started ten years ago here in New York City to promulgate the L-rd’s views concerning the Church and the nation of Israel; the pastorals have been uploaded to various religious sites on the internet over the last seven years or so and contain observations on divers topics concerning the pressing issues of the day such as: How to be a Success; How to maintain a healthy marriage; The solution to poverty; The value of fear; On heaven and hell; How to be a good parent; and many others. My resume was extraordinary in regard to honors and awards by the time I was seventeen years old; I have included it because it is significant, being that of someone who cannot die, although I am not completely happy with it right now; among Roman and Eastern Orthodox Catholics it is a very good one; the interesting thing about resumes is that the bigger of them trace back to the lineage of the greatest kings that ever walked the earth; indeed, I am the scion of an ancient king, one who hasn’t been around here for a long, long time; I have never had the wisdom to build it, for I did not have the benefit of wise parents while I was growing up! Another interesting thing about my resume is that I had not realized everything that was on it from the past until I was about forty years old; it has never been fully accurate for this reason and represents only about half of what should have been accomplished by me as a young person. Now, the thing about my resume and why I have included it here is that if you take it before the Jewish Sanhedrin, the Supreme Court of Israel, you will find out exactly how far you can get in this world if I am against you; the Jews are not going to help any of you here; you just have to have enough common sense to make good value-added decisions in life! What you have to look for in anyone, and especially the young, is potential; some folk were crazy enough to believe I didn’t possess any; in fact, the very work of Satan and his people is to leave it unfulfilled along with everyone’s on earth, from my potential wife, friends and family, to total strangers, for it is my potential that makes and keeps me (because of genetics) G-d; this, however, is impossible in J-sus; you can only help yourselves in these regards; I don’t need any myself, being the L-rd. J-sus is all the help I or anyone else truly need. All it takes to get Satan and his people out of your face is to rebuke them in the Name of the L-rd J-sus Chr-st; this will always work, for J-sus is Master Blaster of Master Blasters; all Islamics have to do to get the U.S. military off their soil is say this to them, then call upon His Name; this will scare even a Jew totally to death. Believe me, if I’m still alive after nearly fifty years in New York City, this last statement is definitely the deal, man! Don’t make my king hurt you okay; believe me, my king can hurt anybody from the President of the United States to the Pope to you so badly, they won’t be able to put you back together again. If you are a Christian, never fear anybody; simply take what’s yours in this world. Despite my short and unhappy life, my one great source of joy has been the personal realization that my love for and faith in J-sus of Nazareth has only grown over these years; I am now a faith healer and plan to get a Ph.d. in theology as well as ones in engineering and science; I am so grateful to have been made such a trooper for Chr-st; indeed, J-sus never fails any of us. Ordinary people have ordinary faith; hence, my resume represents only the beginning for me now. This is a book that will show you that it was only the righteous who were not jive, that this is the difference between kings and fools, that it is only the righteous who live forever and cannot be killed by anyone or anything ever, that very few people have ever really been them, that all are at least perfect Jews and at most Christians, and that, if you were jive, you didn’t have enough going for you even if you did have degrees from Ivy League colleges. Never tell even the smallest lie to anyone from the cradle to the grave, and you won’t be jive; religion is nothing beyond this; let the truth and nothing but telling of it be your religion, then see if you don’t find out exactly who G-d was, is, and always will be, for this was always where the search for the Alm-ghty, king of glory, always began and is where it will end! The book makes the point that if you cannot be a perfect Christian, you should at least be a perfect Jew, for there are not suppose to be any major differences between the two; one is a fighter and the other is a lover, but all are Jews; you must make the animal sacrifices prescribed by law.
As for my claim of divinity, which some may find rather presumptuous, the moniker is not my own but an official designation of the H-ly Sp-rit. You need to understand that all that believe in J-sus are angels, for J-sus is the king of angels, and only an angel would believe in J-sus that was Jewish as I am. My significance exactly on earth is that I am the greatest of them on its surface right now - at least until my son is born; indeed, I am the ruler of the world. In response to the Third of the Bible’s Ten Commandments not to take the name of the L-rd in vain, references to G-d are masked throughout this book even when referring to the L-rd as Sp-rit except in the appendix; it is hoped that this will not detract from the book’s comprehensibility. Grateful acknowledgement is hereby made to all the extraordinary people at Authorhouse, my publisher, without whom this book would not have been possible. Many thanks are due to my wonderful design team: Roseanna Lester my design consultant who headed up the project; Kathleen McClain my book designer; and Chandra Brewer for her amazing and inspired cover design. Much thanks goes out to Kris Kmitta, my author representative at Authorhouse, whose prompt and professional handling of all this business was greatly appreciated. I’d like to thank Mr. Jere Daniel of Brooklyn, New York for copy editing the book. A great deal of thanks is also due Messrs. Joseph E. Celestin, David C. Bowen, John Grein III, Craig Ogborn, Carl Bell, Mark Brantley and Robert Johnson for their generous financial support during the writing of The Kingdom Seeker...
It truly is during hard times that you find out who your friends are; may the L-rd richly bless these last seven gentlemen!

Introduction
...He who believes in me will live,
even though he dies; and whoever
lives and believes in
me will never die...
(John 11:25-26)
This book, except for numerous flashbacks, is largely about what happened to me over the last twenty-three years; revelations that occurred to me gradually by way of the H-ly Gh-st from 1984 through 2007 are its basic elements. This was a terrible period in my life - a time when glimmers of what some doctors considered madness appeared; I saw myself under attack by satanic forces, and given my faith as a Christian this is accurate; this sickness had me searching for answers in the Word of G-d, finding many by way of the H-ly Sp-rit, but apart from detailing the advance of this madness and my subsequent recovery from it, this book traces the developments of historic attempts by me to communicate with the leaders of the Eastern and Western Catholic and Protestant churches of Chr-st as well as with the Jews. A complicating factor was this: I was killed in the midst of all this business.
The implications of fatally injured individuals who arise as if nothing happened is enormous; the exact same thing happened to J-sus of Nazareth some two thousand years ago which is why I was so surprised and hurt when many Christians did not believe me when I started talking about my situation; it has, in fact, happened again, for I have two bullet holes from a small revolver in the back of my head – J-sus’ work of course. Convincing my family of this has been impossible because Chr-st has the power to conceal my condition, going to prove that you really can’t rely on sight too much in life when you are a Christian but on faith; obviously, much of what we see with our eyes is just not real.
Mine is an awesome story; like Lazarus I have been raised from the dead, and my name, like J-sus’, can heal the sick, raise the dead, give sight to the blind, and hearing to the deaf; my name can change the spin of the earth and bend space-time; mine is a story of the birth of apostolic faith and the power of God. This is, most importantly, a book of prophesy, valuable to all Christians, although written by a Catholic, and, as far as I know, is the first book written by someone who has risen from the dead in that person’s own hand. It has a message for all people - even nonbelievers – and will prove an invaluable resource for new believers in J-sus Chr-st.
Schizophrenia, as defined by the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, is any of a group of psychotic disorders usually characterized by withdrawal from reality, illogical patterns of thinking, delusions, and hallucinations, and accompanied in varying degrees by other emotional, behavioral, or intellectual disturbances; in June of 1990, I was diagnosed as having come down with this illness. While this is dramatic in and of itself, the details surrounding the onset of this perceived illness are enormously fascinating. Many experts in the field of psychology believe that the disease is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. It will be helpful to observe before this community that the disease comes about because of being constantly frustrated. People can, literally, be driven out of their minds by frustration. This was more so in my situation. The trouble here is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with me as you shall all see; it was merely a smokescreen that Satan used to cover his tracks, for he has been planning to kill me for years; this is fair, however, because basically I was born to die, being the first-fruit of G-d’s perfect manhood. In fact it is good to know that in a land full of gay rights and women’s rights, there never was, is not, and never will be anything quite as great as man himself, and it is I that am under attack, especially where I am - New York City.
As fascinating as my perceived schizophrenia, however, is the fact that in the summer of 1990 I was killed, videlicet, nearly seventeen years ago at this writing; despite what most people will obviously believe about this statement, I am not hallucinating. My story is indeed poignant: chosen as a leader of men by the time he was eleven years old; a national merit scholar; holder of two school records in track and field by 1979 at St. Francis Preparatory high school of Fresh Meadows, New York - one of the legendary powerhouses in this sport; captain and most valuable player of the
