The Christian Vegan Revised Psalms

By Saba

This book is a must-read for all groups of people. It clearly shows how the Creators will for all beings is always good, and why the laws of God forbids any animal and nature abuse. It also explains how Christianity, the science of God (Christian Science), and the vegan way of life are all based on the same biblical principles. Most of the psalms in this book are carefully revised and edited, in order to bring forth more of their spiritual meaning. These potent songs comprise the gospel of nature, the spirit, and the sentiments of all living beings, through Christ Jesus, the perfect psalmist. Moreover, the book shows the Lord Christ Jesus to be the only true savior, shepherd, cowherd, and the best friend of all the animals and Gods universe. It also acknowledges the signs and the wonderful works of the Lord Holy Spirit, in the world today. In short, the reader can learn more from this book, how to worship the Holy Father of the anointed in righteousness, how to be saved from the second death, and how to work for lasting peace, full redemption, and healing of the universe by adapting the Christian vegan and the scientifically sound way of life.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

This book is dedicated to the Divine God and the Father of Lord Jesus

PREFACE

Divine Love the Creator, the true sustainer and preserver, is forever the center of the heavens and the universe. Life and existence are all about the honour, the glory, and the pleasures of the Holy Trinity alone. Because of this, all creatures must know only God and love, obey the Lord above all created beings or things, and should do the Lord’s will always. Deviations from this natural way lead to death. For this very reason in the Gospel of St. John 17:3 the Master prayed, saying, And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

The Psalms in the Holy Bible are the prayers, supplications, songs, praises, thanksgivings, and worship of Christ Jesus the vegan¹ Lord, to the supreme God. And also some prophesies about the anointed are in there. David the shepherd boy, who later became an elder among his fellow Israelites, was the one through whom Lord Jesus sang and wrote most of the Psalms. The perfect psalmist, our Lord Jesus always sings through all creatures. Lord Jesus indeed is the Alpha and the Omega and the root and the offspring of David. Regarding this truth, in the Gospel of Matthew 22:41–45 the following is recorded: While the Pharisees were gathered together, Master Jesus asked them, saying, what think ye of Christ? Whose son is he? They said unto him, the son of David. The Messiah saith unto them, how then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying. The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, till I make the enemies thy foot stool? If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more question. Most of those prophesies about Christ Jesus in the Psalms are already fulfilled in the glorified Master Jesus, the only begotten Son of the Holy God. But because the Psalms are Spirit, timeless and alive with the power of Love, we still pray with them and sing them regularly, while working out our own salvations with fear and trembling. It is a proven fact that the constant meditation and exaltation of God, using the Psalms, heals, cleanses the heart, and invigorates the soul. To cite a personal example: as a little girl, I used to hear a godly woman reading the Psalms loudly, with a special melodious tone. Then one day she just sat in her usual place and happily commenced reading all the Psalms with that familiar tone. Suddenly my attention was drawn to what was being read, and I felt so calm and started to listen eagerly, truly enjoying every word. Later on I came to realize how that particular experience did bring me personally an instantaneous and a lasting healing. Therefore, it is advisable that we read the Psalms and the Holy Bible silently or audibly and pray also around plants, all animals, the environment, small children, the sick, and others, in order to bring renewal and the guiding influence of the Lord Holy Spirit to all beings. Such spiritual practise helps to unify and edify the one universal Christian vegan church, whose members are all the animals, the saints, and the universe of God. Since the Psalms are so powerful, our daily meditations on them and the habit of singing them spiritually restores, reforms, feeds, and perfects all the sheep and the lambs of the Good Shepherd.

The main reason why I was motivated to revise the Psalms was, in order to bring forth, as much as the human languages allow, more of the spiritual contents of the book. I took special care to substitute some misused and misleading words in the verses, which before distorted the Divine Truth and did no justice to the perfect and the great King, the Lord Jesus’ Father and God. Some of the Psalms, though, are not revised at all because they were so clearly written and communicate the spiritual facts lucidly. Since the way we view the Lord God, fellowship, and commune with the Divine Majesty must always be as flawless as possible, we all should try continually not to use words and phrases that are not true of the Spirit. For it is a deadly sin and a terrible offence not to know God well enough and not to properly address the supreme Life truthfully. We should never, at no time, take the Name of the Lord in vain. For example, as a Christian vegan and a scientist, in Christ, I become aware of the fact that in different versions of the Holy Bible, the word meat was mistakenly and repeatedly used to mean food. Since it is every believer’s responsibility to improve the talents given of the Lord, to learn and grow in the knowledge of the perfect God, and please the Divine King of all alone, I have substituted it with the word food (Christian vegan food). The Divine Creator, in the Lord’s goodness, made all beings in God’s own image and likeness, by the WORD, including all the animals of the planet earth. For this reason all the farm animals, the household animals, the jungle, the forest animals, the field, and the snowy region animals, also those that fly and all fishes that swim, are but the beloved children of Jesus, the saviour of the whole world. Animals are very important to Jesus, their big Brother and true shepherd. To call Jesus, Lord, Lord only and not do as the Master commanded us and still commands all, to adopt the Christian vegan Way of Life, cannot profit anyone. We must be able to call the Holy Name of our God in righteousness, by renouncing all injustice, and those mortal man–perpetuated inequalities among the creatures of God that are on earth. To minimize the verbal abuses and all kinds of violence, habitually, carelessly, or deliberately committed, against the just and righteous God, we must always strive to be factual and accurate in spiritual things. There are only spiritual facts that we should consider and there is no material fact we should bother with, for there is no matter except the unfounded belief in its existence and purposefulness. The following quote is taken from the essay of Emerson: O my brothers, God exists. There is a soul at the center of nature, and over the will of every man, so that none of us can wrong the universe. It has so infused its strong enchantment into nature that we prosper when we accept its advice; and when we struggle to wound its creatures, our hands are glued to our sides, or they beat our own breasts. We cannot expect to be normal, sober, civilized, lawful, truly advanced, and prosperous nations and healthy populations, while the guilt and the hidden sins of animal killing and self-justifications destroy our Christian faith and trust. To know the purest God, the Lord’s legitimate Son, and the Lord Holy Spirit personally is a must for all worshipers, so we can serve and adore God in Spirit and in Truth only. However, in order to know, serve, and worship God in Spirit and in Truth, we must first identify with the Soul and deny the nonexistent matter. The Holy God is Spirit-Life, and this Divine Spirit alone is visible, infinite, eternal, perfect Love, communicable, understandable, approachable, likeable, appreciable, admirable, companionable, knowledgeable, loveable, tangible, audible, forever real, and true. Unless we overthrow the false gods of the corrupt senses, which in fact are not senses, and instead enthrone in ourselves and in the universe the one Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent God, we will not be able to do the will of the Holy Creator and live lawfully, on earth as in heaven. When we start to behold clearly the goodness of God’s power, this certainty of Spirit’s infallible wisdom and the clarity gained will cast out from us the errors, the half truths we wrongly hold, which do hinder us from worshiping and serving the Holy God naturally, in Spirit and in Truth, as the Master commanded all to do without fail. The Heavenly Father seeks those who know the Lord well and who offer to the Divine Majesty acceptable offerings. In order for us to establish a healthy and lasting relationship with God, and to trust the Lord completely and fear the Light with all our hearts, we have to accept the Truth about the Christian God. It is right and very important that we address the Lord God reverently and understand the Truth of Life correctly. This always results in building a meaningful relationship with God, in our own spiritual growth, fruitfulness, and it is something we cannot possibly overdo.

Also the word beast does not mean any of the God-created animals on earth; but beasts are demonic forces from the abyss, that seem to aggressively, subtly, violently, irrationally, wilfully, and forcefully try to posses and defile the spiritual self. These demons represent cowardice, fearfulness, roughness, pride, harshness, gluttony, false appetites, greed, and destructiveness that kill. But all the animals that the Creator made and placed on earth are only spiritual beings. They are sweet in nature (all nature is only spiritual and there is no material nature) and spiritually purposeful, fruitful, helpful, intelligent, unique, loving, and good. To elaborate this point further, let us cite another similar example here: In the Lord’s Prayer, that one line which mentions concern about temptation should always be prayed together with the interceding Lord Spirit, we saying, Save us from falling in to temptations. For that was how the Master intended it to mean. Divine Love alone saves and rescues us from being misguided, from being deceived and tempted of the devil (falsehood, the liar and murderer, the accuser, the deceiver, and that which attempts in vain to obscurer the vivid Truth). The Almighty leads all beings, in all of eternity, from darkness to Light, from evil gravitations, inclinations, tilts, and assumptions to Divine Truth only. Knowing this as we should by heart, we must always say in the Lord’s Prayer, Dear Father, rescue us thou from being tempted, from being sidetracked and tricked, from falling in the traps and pits of the enemy, and from acting upon the evil impulses. Deliver us from foolishly tempting fate, from giving ear to the hissing accusations and aggressive suggestions of the cruel one, from stumbling or from becoming stumbling blocks to others. The Lord Jesus warned, But I say unto you, that every idle word that men speak, they shall give account there of in the Day of Judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shall be condemned (Matthew 12:36–37). We must be convinced that God truly hears our prayers when we pray to the Lord and that the Good Holy Trinity is innocent, generous, kind, and gracious toward all. As we think, we speak, feel, and respond also. Thoughts that are of the senses distort and hide the spiritual facts and the immutable spiritual reality upon which alone we should base our Christian faith, prayers, songs, and good works. That was also why the Lord warned us, saying, Watch! for there are no evil thoughts.

Here, I’d like to add one more personal testimony, with the hope that it will serve God’s purpose and inspires the readers better: When I was but a small child, my guardian departed and he went to the Lord. On account of that, the members of our household were affected, and to comfort us one day a godly man came over. He was a devoted Orthodox Christian and an elder, full of kindness and good words. The adults, knowing his faith to be strong, gladly and respectfully received him and he sat down and started to talk to them about God. There were a number of people in the room; small children of the same family were also there. Then I noticed how attentive they were to his words and gestures and how they were asking him different questions. And I started wondering quietly about the meaning of all that, because even though I understood that they were talking about God, since I was not yet eloquent enough in the human languages, I could not grasp their communications. Right at that moment the Spirit of the Lord came and took me aside and covered for me the entire Holy Bible, only within few moments. And firmly, swiftly, with a clear and perfect voice the Lord told me and also showed me the Way of Life. I understood every WORD and was enabled to behold the heavenly reality and the order of God’s government, after that I did not have any question at all. Standing there I realized clearly that the Lord, who was imparting that Truth to me, was a noble Good God. I liked being in the Lord’s presence because the Holy God was full of power, vibrant, and did not employ some baby talk to explain it to me, as everybody habitually did and still does when dealing with small children. Instead, with a warm, precise, and factual tone, the Spirit explained to me what they were talking about regarding the laws of Spirit and the good commandments and infinitely more. That language of God I already knew well, and I felt like a mature person. I was not afraid but felt calm and assured. I grasped all the messages of the Holy Bible then and there and I also felt accepted, and my need to understand was fully met. The Lord’s voice and words were not like any other human being’s that I had ever heard. The two most important lessons that I drew from that special experience were: first, when the Holy the Laws of Life, it was done only in the affirmative and the Lord did not say any do not do this or do not do that but naturally taught me and also enabled me to spiritually behold the practical laws and the Way as they always are. Second, from that I myself concluded and understood inwardly that to deviate from the way which the Lord explained and showed me was unnatural and wrong. Then after the Lord ascertained that I did not have any misgivings and got the message, I found myself with the others again. By that time the godly man was ready to go and they got up to see him off, still gladly praying with him and talking to him. After he left, though, because none of them asked me about the fellowship that I just had with God and about what I came to realize, by the Lord’s power, I reasoned that maybe they too heard Him and saw Him at the same time that I did. And for that reason, being only a small child, I kept the experience to myself for many years to come, and did not recall that particular revelation again until many years after.

Believers should know God inwardly and should also call the one true, eternal and infinite Father of Jesus, the Divine, the Awesome, and the Sublime. The Creator alone should be called Father-Mother, the Holy King, the perfect leader, the mighty and the powerful Love, the immaculate teacher and the impartial judge, the sole owner of the whole universe and the heavens. However, mortals wrongly, ignorantly, and habitually insist on calling their own selves and their likes by these appellations, which should be used only to relate, describe, and address the royal God at all times. All forms of idolatry lead to confusion, sin, sickness, dishonesty, guilt, limitations or death, and cannot benefit anyone at all. God alone is the eternal, true King/Governor and the Divine ruler of the heavens, the universe, and the nations. The Lord God is the life of all creations, the sole provider, the healer, whom we must daily approach and be blessed by. God alone is the rightful owner of the heavens and the universe. God is our employer; every living being is working for God alone and not for another mortal mind or carnal men and women. It is God who gives to each and every creature the inspirations, the skills, and the know-hows, the ability to perform and produce good results. And it is the Lord alone who rewards each of us with good gifts of life for our natural endeavours, obedience, orderly and professional conducts, and governable attitudes and cooperation with all other God’s servants. The Holy Creator is praiseworthy, for it is the Lord Holy Spirit alone that does all the good in all and through all, from generation to generation, in the lives of all creations. In the Gospel of Matthew, the Master warned, saying, Call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.… Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. Likewise one should never say that I am a meat eater nor some animals are meat eaters, because God never created any flesh and blood–eating creature. The Power of Love accomplishes only the perfect and everlasting works of the Spirit; but evil forces, destructive and aggressive or violent influences do only evil and perish. For strength and might belong to Divine Mind alone. Therefore, what we should always keep in mind when we stand in the presence of the perfect Lord is that God is self-existent, altogether lovely, and the main purpose of our existence also other’s is about expressing,
