Institute of Divine Metaphysical Research
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Institute of Divine Metaphysical Research, or IDMR, is a religious group founded in 1931 by Henry Clifford Kinley. The group considers itself a school rather than a religion, using charts to teach the stories and messages of the Bible. Members of the group use the Hebrew names for God and Jesus, Yahweh and Yahshua, believing these are the sacred names for God and Jesus. IDMR has more than 9,000 members worldwide.
