The need for religious body in a mission of the lord

Learning Point 77

Let it be known, the representatives of Lord Bo Tien said,  that a mission of the saint must be spiritual one and not  social. Hence  the mission to save souls must be run by the religious body* (eg yellow yellow pioneers and initiated members) of the mission and not by the ordinary social body who will elect a committee to run the worldly establishment amongst men. Otherwise without the religious body, there will  in the case of the mission of the lord saint only be social services eg charity. These services were already the practices of many others and there would be no need for the lord's coming and descent in the early 1970s. While it is spiritual, it is not to start any new sect or religion but to re-awaken the understanding of life and God knowledge through existing religions so that all will understand the oneness in diversity of religions and sects. The adoption of a Chinese style temple premises is just to show that there is the same truth even in Chinese cultural observances though there will be need for refresh approach within the ambit of culture based on simplicity and truth of God and saints. The deliberate incorporation of social services under the  umbrella of the spiritual mission  and not as separate entities is to stress that the mission is spiritual and of Heaven rather than social and of man 

* From the religious body will be selected a few to be in the spiritual council to direct the spritual matters at the human level of the mission
