**** HYPOCRITES/LIARS ****
The weak, the dishonest, the selfish cowards that want the "easy" way to heaven, that crucified Jesus to shut him up. They still exist is the modern world. Now, they are just using the "name" of Jesus Christ to "fool" God and others that they are righteous. [Many people are so dumb that they actually think they're smart].
[Mark 13:21-23] "Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, He is there!' do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand."
[Matt 7:14,15] "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves."
[Matt 7:21-24] "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:"
[Matt 24:11] "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many."
[Matt 24:24,25] "For false christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, event the elect. See, I have told you beforehand."
[2 Tim 4:3,4] "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables."
[Prov 21:28] "A false witness shall perish, but the man who hears him will speak endlessly."
There's about a 2000 year warp between Jesus Christ and now. For fear for their lives, the early Christians, writers of the books of the New Testament, and the translators of the same writings, had to be very careful about what they included in their writings and/or translations that became public; simply because of society's, and the government's persecutions of certain beliefs of the true Jesus Christ. There were many instances of Roman persecutions of early Christians for writing and/or practicing the original teachings of Jesus that were not society or government acceptable: Condemning meat eaters, and open sex, was definitely not (and still isn't) society acceptable; because it takes from the rich. "Open sex" would cause taxes to go up against the wealthy; and/or liabilities/expenses would go up against parents that were raising their unwed daughters' baby(s), simply because there were no accurate blood tests, to obligate the exact father. In this world/country pretty much anything that is possible and desirous will certainly be done/gotten by the rich, with little or no remorse, or sympathy—like eating animals. The wealthy and power people would allow, however, the Christian writings condemning the wealthy monopolizers, to be included in the Bible, so as to discourage others to not compete so much for their wealth and power. That way they could keep their wealth and power easier. You see, the wealthy, because they were already wealthy, thought that they did not really need to practice the laws of the Bible, but rather they used the Bible as a brainwash tool to guide the peasants. But the advocation of vegetarianism causes monopolized land to be taken for crops and disrupts the meat and cattle industry. And if the meat industries are put out of business, then the "spoiled" wealthy and powerful would have to give up the variety of the unique tastes of the various flavors in different meats. And "open sex" will, of course, cause the wealthy (and/or parents) to have to pay for the care of all the fatherless babies and their mothers. Does anybody really believe that the wealthy and powerful, in that day (or even now), would allow writings to be released to the public, that would cause taxes to be raised on the wealthy and powerful? I don't think so; when they could (and would) easily behead non-cooperative translators. You may disagree with Me; but, believe for a moment that there are corrupt, incorrect, and/or left-out verses in our modern day Bible, wouldn't the true Jesus Christ want them to be corrected and revealed, or would He want them to remain corrupt, incorrect, and/or left-out just to make it easier and more pleasing for the wealthy and powerful, and for the current hypocrite church-goers that are trying to find the "easy" way into heaven? I tell you that what is, is, and what was, was, no matter what the Bible translates today. And, in the afterlife, what will be, will be, no matter how many "cop-outs" there are, and no matter how many people just believe what they want.
There were over 2000 sacred books written for the New Testament, in early Christian history (the first 300 years), but for various reasons, only 27 New Testament books made it to our modern day (K-Mart) Bible. Contrary to popular belief, when rulers, etc. want to order a Biblical translation corruption (or modification), God cannot, all of a sudden, zap it correct. But because earthy rulers say that translations are God's authentic and complete word, everybody will believe it, simply because peasants know nothing else. [You mean that prior to the printing press, any translator could change Scripture meanings and everybody would believe it? Yes, it's that easy.] The real truth of "what" is really "what," is "what" will continue to be introduced through the combination of truth, logic and fairness.—Because, unfair laws and practices can have a lot of power, but will always fail in time.—This is how the Devil knows that he will eventually lose. [Matt 9:9]: "... He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, 'Follow Me.' And he arose and followed Him."—If Matthew himself was the complete writer of this Gospel, then why does this sound like somebody else is talking here? If this was Matthew himself talking, it would go more like: "... He saw [me] sitting at the tax office. And He said to [me], 'Follow Me.' And [I] arose and followed Him."
How can an error, lie, and/or corruption in the Bible "EVER" be able to be released, or revealed, as long as conservative, adamant clergies, bishops, etc. believe that the Bible is totally perfect, complete and without error and/or corruptions, while many parts have varied opinions? The selfish corruptors are spiritually laughing in the livings faces (before judgment); and the confused spirits that made the translation "errors" are so ashamed of their so deadly of mistake(s) that I can just about hear their cries echoing throughout the globe. Now I do not suggest that churches should tell people that the Bible is not 100% the word of God, simply because most people can only think in extremes; and therefore, will either totally accept it or totally reject it. But Bible scholars and researchers should check their source's sources' sources. I am smart enough to know to not believe everything My religious leaders tell Me; and I realize that not everything that they say is incorrect either. But not too many people can think in between the extremes. People are not coincidentally honestly concurring with everything their religious leader says, they are just believing everything from whom they want to believe in; like an idol. [You mean that if a religious leader wants their people to believe almost anything, they will, even if it causes the follower's death(s); and God can't automatically stop it? Yes, it's that simple (and ludicrous).] Plus, how could a "restoration of the gospel" be possible if everything in the Bible is currently perfect, complete and accurate? And, why do certain "thinkers" and commentaries have so many different interpretations of it, which causes religious breakoffs?
Many of the most important Bible writings were said in allegoric parables and metaphors, with deeper symbolic parallels, so that when people (Satan) translates the Bible, he will not change the wording, because it is written in "code," so that only certain people, and truly righteous people, can understand it. Therefore, people (Satan) will see no need to change it, because they don't see (or feel) any threat from it, because they don't understand it; and nobody else understands it either, until ....
[Matt 5:19] "Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Jesus said that the hypocritical religious teachers are the worst of the worst, in the eyes of God—simply because clergy and rabbis that deviate from quotations that advocate (more for) the poor, are causing the rich people to not see so much of a need to give more to the poor, the unlucky and the non-motivated; which, in turn, will cause a lot more pain and suffering in the world. All clergy and rabbis are pressured by Satan (selfish money) to preach more for the well being of the rich, so that the rich will keep coming to their church/synagogue; because if they preached the important messages, then less wealthy people would show up; hence, less tithings. I tell you the same as Jesus told you, that the selfish clergy and rabbis will suffer for their sins many fold, to "equal" out all the unnecessary pain and suffering caused by their selfish teachings. It would be better for anyone to remain silent than to preach the wrong (and/or limiting) information. [If you're getting angry with Me, then that means that you would only like Me if I was a liar].
— JESUS PAID FOR SINS — [Ezek 33:31] "So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain." Also [Matt 7:21-29; Rom 2:13; James 1:22-27].
The latest corruption is when clergy, etc. tell rich people what they really really want to hear, that allows rich people to keep their stolen riches and justifies their sins, by saying that "Jesus died on the cross for your sins."—This allows rich peoples' consciouses to believe that it is okay for them to sin, and/or keep their wealth; and they will not have to pay for their sins in their afterlife, because Jesus has already paid for all of their sins. All they have to do is say some words and pray to the "name" of Jesus. And/or, if they don't have pre-marital sex, then they will automatically go to heaven; as if pre-marital sex is "their" only sin (which is not even a sin at all in the true eyes of God). If Jesus paid for our sins by dying on the cross, then maybe we should praise the name "Judas"; because, Judas was the one that deceived Jesus by turning Him in, so Jesus could be crucified.—So, I can assume that if it wasn't for Judas, nobody would be forgiven of their sins. Plus, why would Judas feel like killing himself, if he helped mankind so much. You should believe Me instead of your false teachers: I also tell you that God does not apply Jesus' goodness to our accounts—to waive our sins. We need to only "do" fair to others, as Jesus instructed: e.g. [Matt 7:12 & Luke 6:31]: "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."—The Golden Rule.—So easy to say and understand, but so hard for people to really do [Rev 10:9,10]. "Christ paid for our sins"—"sinners" like believing this one for obvious reasons; and the ones that like it the most, are likely the ones that "really" sin the most. [the cause of Rev 9:13-21]. And this religious cop-out infuriates the true victims of sin, CAUSING them to be atheists (and very bitter towards the "name" of Jesus), criminals, drug users, suicidal; because they do not realize that they WILL get their "fair" restitution, in the afterlife.
Don't you think it's "fair" (or appreciate the fact) that God is now able to break though all the lies/embellishments, and is letting you know that you ARE going to pay for your sins, in your afterlife; instead of just letting you believe that Jesus paid for all your sins, on the cross. You see, sin is sin, whether you admit it's a sin or not! Just because you don't "believe" it's a sin to hurt an "innocent" person, doesn't mean God will not allow "fair" restitution to the victim, in YOUR afterlife. So if you remain adamant, and believe that your sins are forgiven, without restitution, then when you die, you WILL find out otherwise (the hard way), regardless of what you've been taught. So, when it happens (after your death), don't blame Jesus, don't blame God, don't blame Me; blame your modern day clergies.
Since the age has come where all of the worst sinners, of the world (mostly the rich) are all congregating in the churches and synagogues; today would be the best time in history for the religious teachers to preach the true teachings of Jesus Christ [Rev 10:6: There should be delay no longer!]—This would be the only way that the corrupt religious teachers could minimize their "hell fire" in their personal afterlifes. And let the poor church-goers realize that their frivolous sins are likely much less (and hurt a lot less people) then the sins of the rich!—And that poor peoples' adjustment into heaven will likely be a lot quicker and easier then of the monopolizing rich. However, if all the true teachings of Jesus Christ are not conveyed correctly, they would scare many of the rich church-goers away; therefore, initially there is the possibility of losing a lot of church revenue, and clergy might have to preach in the streets, like Jesus did. There is now a desperate need for church reform because way too many clergymen and church-goers are praising just the "name" of Jesus Christ way too much, and not praising the "teachings" of Jesus Christ near enough.—[1John 3:18]: "My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth."—It really makes no difference whose "name" they use, as long as the correct messages get conveyed. It's all part of the lying cop-out for rich peoples' sins and lies, for their efforts to fool God. Clergy that teach people to praise the "name" of Jesus rather than the correct "teachings" (and I mean all the correct teachings) of Jesus, will equally suffer in their afterlifes respectively more, when their followers cause sin, outside of church; because church-goers are purposely not given a "stable" teaching of the true Jesus; because clergies, through history, want selfish financial church income. It's tell the people what they want to hear, instead of telling the people what they should hear. If people are learning the wrong things (that causes havoc on the poor), then who is the worst evil, the students or the teachers? It is impossible for God to optimize society with the current religious lies and corruption. Even hypocrites would be much happier if they were smart enough to forsake the tricks of Satan and find the true meaning of the original teachings of Jesus—e.g. like Saul to Paul. But how can a religious teacher repent (give restitution) to all the "indirect" victims of his/her prior false teachings?—By strongly starting to (and continuing to) teach the kind of truth that will highly please, indirectly, all of the poor and victims of true sin. I also tell you this now so you can do something about it before your death, because after your death it will be too late.
There are two types of people that go to church: (1) The kind that goes with hopes of learning how they can become a good person, to learn how to serve what God wants, to learn how to be fair and equal to their fellow man. (2) The kind that are trying to fool God into thinking that they are a good person, by just participating—when really they are some of the worst sinning hypocrites in the world, because they justify their real sins by just showing up—now, nobody is going to admit to the latter, to others or to themselves.
[1John 4:20]: "If someone says, 'I love God,' and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?—Therefore, you MUST fully "love (all) your enemy(s)" to love (or "worship") God (or the "name" God, or the "name" Jesus); which "also" means if you desire (or can enjoy any kind of) "revenge" [and have few possessions, etc.] then you are not there. [1John 2:4-12]: "He who says, 'I know Him,' and does not keep His commandments (the Golden Rule—fully loves their enemy[s], etc.), is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ... your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake."—His name's "sake" (or purpose, cause or reason) is the Golden Rule; which is NOT something "easy" to do; just "believing" in "His name," or that He just got all your sins fixed, is "easy" to do. The fact is, "ALL" your sins ARE "fixed" (or forgiven) but ONLY if you can really fully "do" the Golden Rule, in "ALL" matters (direct and indirect), which would be "never hurting an 'innocent' person." So let's just change (adjust) His "name" to convey something much more difficult to "do"; by just changing the name of "Jesus Christ" or "the Lord" to "the Golden Rule." Now say: "I truly praise 'the Golden Rule'" instead of saying "I truly praise Jesus Christ"; because both are the same thing but only one will more accurately achieve God's/Jesus' goal/purpose. Now try this: [John 3:16]: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever 'believes in' (meaning 'truthfully does') 'the Golden Rule' should not perish but have everlasting life." So if you enjoy praising His name, then it would be better for you (and the rest of mankind) to just change His name (and all of "His" pronouns) to "the Golden Rule." Or, if you would like it "spelled out" better, say [John 3:16]: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in 'doing unto (ALL) others, as you would have them do unto you' should not perish but have everlasting life." Either way, now we're verbalizing something that is a little harder to cop-out on; but a lot harder to actually do, if your a sinner. And (ALL) means all others, directly and indirectly, friend and foe; and not just on Sunday. Try this for a while, everywhere you see His "name," and see if you can notice a new "Light."
— DISHONESTY — There are two types of dishonesty: (1) Dangerous/destructive dishonesty—people with above average intelligence—they know how to lie and make things sound good, which makes their lies hard to detect; which, in turn, makes them very dangerous and/or destructive, because they can fool many people. (2) Not so dangerous/destructive dishonesty—portrayed by lower than average intellect—they're stupid so their lies are easy to detect; therefore, they cannot do too much harm with them, because most people are not fooled—eventually they will discover that since they are not so good at lying, they will decide to live a more honest life, because they are tired of embarrassing themselves so much, because they are getting caught too much when they lie.—Of course, both types have their variances. In the 1950's and 1960's, My guess would be that about 10-20% of what I heard and read was a lie. In the 1970's and 1980's, it went up to probably 50-60%. Here, in the 1990's, I would guess that 80-90% of what I hear and read is a lie (or a false impression of some kind).—Is it that I'm just getting smarter or is it that our justice systems' judges and juries are allowing it (justifying dishonesty) way too much, for the rich; and, consequently, everybody is getting better at it, or both? And what's going to happen when it reaches 100%?—probably World War Three (the end of the world); where "insects" would eventually rule the world, which are trying to prove to God how they can better "work together." This would also place a major "toilet smell" on mammals'/reptiles' "spirit world." We might just be "too large." Both possibilities are presented in revelations, so either could happen—the end of the world (by fire) or the beginning of a true Christian society, one extreme or the other.—It's not up to Me, it's up to you (the churches). And, you can't blame it on freer sexual practices anymore, because AIDS put a hindering deterrent on that years ago, but dishonesty still keeps going up. And I have found that the people that say they are incapable of lying, are the ones that lie the most (and the most harmfully). The world had better start to find a/the universal satisfying "caring" love for one another, and quick.—(Open sex, welfare, and restitution).
Most people, especially the lucky and powerful, are totally unable (not strong enough) to admit when they are wrong, except when the truth is fully revealed; because they believe that if they can fool others, and themselves, then they have fooled God and the Light-of-Truth. And/or, they will plan to use "unequal" or "irrelevant" excuses against God; many being fabricated, or exaggerated. This, for example, has been the cause of many major wars.
— ACTORS/ACTRESSES — Many people "act" or "behave" honorable, considerate, and charming, but would really lie, cheat, or steal behind your back. Acting good is only halfway to actually becoming good. Just acting good shows very good "simple common respect" but does not "balance out" your sins, nor does it fool God.—If I'm smart enough to realize this, don't you think that God is also smart enough to realize it, as well? Some people define the Golden Rule as "Act (or behave) unto others, as you would have them do unto you"; but the true definition of the Golden Rule is: "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you."—There is a big difference. And some people are truthfully good to others like only on Sundays, at church, or with only friends and/or family. Jesus would say that at least something is better than nothing (like it's one-seventh of the way there); but God sees and feels for the entire world equally and fairly, and on every day of the week; therefore, all people should be considerate to, and seek good for, all the people (they know, and/or effect), and on every day of the week, every week, every year, etc.
Many modern day Christians believe that saying the right words to God and/or Jesus, and just showing up at church every Sunday, is more important than good deeds and forsaking sin. But I tell you that saying words and going to church are good only if they lead you to the actual acts of good deeds and forsaking sin. Sorry, but words and going to a "school" of religion alone, doesn't automatically get any person into heaven; it's not that easy. Because, if every one in the world said only words to God (and/or Jesus) and just went to church, then the world would be the sinful selfish world that it is. But if nobody said any words to God (and/or Jesus) and nobody went to church, but everybody just did good deeds and did not sin, then the world would be a truly perfect world and very pleasing to God, Jesus, and all of its people. So, do say words and do go to church, but only so to lead you to good deeds and to stop you from sinning. The main reasons that the world has not yet "got it together" is because their has never been a true and stable written definition of sin, until now (see My writings on Sin & Pain).
People think that if they can lie to themselves and fool their own soul, that God will judge them in the way that they want to be judged; but, I tell you that God (and the souls that you have innocently hurt) have already judged you accordingly, each time you sin, regardless of what an individual's soul believes; and in the afterlife: "all things will be revealed" [Mark 4:22 & Luke 8:17]. Many people try "the cop-out" of "praying to God" for repentance, but it won't work, because God is not corrupt and unfair to the sinned victim. If you worry about your soul, you'd better PRAY "live" and "in person" directly to the living victim of your sin, and before they die; not God. And, when you "just act" righteous, that just shows/proves that you DO KNOW how you "should be"; therefore, "ignorance" will not be any kind of way out of your afterlife judgment suffering. [Mark 12:38-40]: "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplace, ... and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."
If you are a Christian and do not believe in the announcement "make love, not war," you do not know, understand, or follow the true original Jesus Christ; instead, you have been fooled and are believing in, and following, the Antichrist.
— FALSE PRAISE — Do not worship, love, and show devotion to the verbal or written name "God" or "Jesus," instead worship, love, and show devotion to the commands of God and the teachings of Jesus; which have everything to do with how you treat others (all living humans and animals). Do not be a hypocrite. Do not say "I love God" or "I love Jesus," instead say "I love that selfish guy that just cut me off" or "I love that ugly obnoxious person, that needs somebody to love them." Fight anger and favoritism (Satan) with the only tool that will work—"caring" love. Saying "words" to praise God or Jesus will not give you want you want in your afterlife.—It's like saying to your king or president "I praise you," but ignore his laws—just because you "kiss up to" (flatter) his name, does not mean that he will forgive you if you break his laws and hurt his people. A farmer will not forgive you if you praise him, then steal his crops. An employer will not pay you if you praise him, then not come to work. The reason that you praise God's "name" is because who you've been thinking that God is, is actually partially the Devil.—For example, if you kiss-up and praise certain people, in this world, they will likely give you what you want, if they have nothing to lose; like how a police officer will likely waive a traffic ticket, if you (correctly) "kiss-up" to him, at the scene; whereas, otherwise, he will write you for everything he can get you for, if you are a "smart ass." The same for certain situations with your boss, parent, school teacher, client, etc. I tell you that God is not so dumb that He automatically believes your lying charm, and God does feel the same destructive pain when anybody hurts anybody (innocent or guilty). Therefore, I tell you that God does have a loss, when you sin. Thusly, favors from God, in the afterlife, will only come by "not sinning to others," "fair (equal) restitution (repentance), only to the actual victim, for past sins," and "doing good deeds." And, modest pride in "taking all the blame" (e.g. "the buck stops here") is not going to lessen your responsibilities of paying equally for all your sins in your afterlife. Because—is the pain and loss of the innocent victim any less because of modesty?
— MIRACLES (supernatural events) — [Matt & Luke 4:3,4] Jesus stated that physical/tangible miracles are not to be done, and that "words" is the only way.—Therefore, said miracles are either allegorical, or the works of the Devil. When God sees a (dangerous) rock in the middle of a curvy highway, He can NOT "just move it"; you see, He made the animals/humans to move it.
The religious teaching of miracles that defy God's universal laws of physics, chemistry and biology causes sin, atheists, a bitterness against Christ, crime, drug abuse, and suicide! You need to learn how to become more civilized and "real"ize that it is much better to deal with the "real" world with "real" facts and "real" knowledge. Because science will continue to advance, and thusly, cause more atheism and sin because of inflexible, close-minded, limited thinking religious teachers, that will instead just emphasize attention on more and deeper fantasies (cop-outs), which will make Satan more and more powerful. However, since the animal and the human brain has a sub+sub+sub-atomic connection with God (and the Spirit World); dreams, hallucinations (visions), and subconscious sensings are possible, but generally forbidden by God, because of interference by the Devil.—Therefore, any (or all) such contingencies could be tricks of the Devil; and therefore, would work against God, simply because the human brain is not yet sophisticated (smart) enough (at this level) to tell the difference, and would be easily swayed by the tricks of the Devil; like for personal selfishness. And the best way to deal with reality is with reality—not hallucinations, etc. Physical (or tangible) miracles cannot happen, but tall tale stories and exaggerations can happen.
It would be impossible and not credible (not honest) for Jesus to physically resurrect like a "zombie" or a "vampire," walking and talking in His old material body. At best, He could have been allowed, by God, to communicate to His disciples, via visions, telepathic messages, etc.; however, when this is done, the Devil is able to get his "equal time," to do the same, which are things that just "sounds good." Therefore, spiritual communication with the living can cause more harm than good, because humans historically will naturally lean more into believing the tricks and lies of the Devil. Once again: zombies, werewolves, Godzilla, Skeletor, He-Man, Spiderman, and vampires (no matter how well they dance) do not really exist. ... wait just a second ... possibly Godzilla existed millions of years ago. Nor, are any of these fictitious characters necessary for, or worthy of, basing society's laws and principles on. Virgin births, walking on water, physical raising of the dead, etc. are at the same trustworthy intelligence level as killing yourself so to ride on the tail of a comet into heaven! This proves that humans will believe anything, and depending only on "who" says it.
Jesus did not ride into Jerusalem with a mighty sword in His hand, to miraculously physically wipe out all the evil of the world; therefore, few people believed that He was the Messiah; because people (especially the Jews) will believe, and more follow, in miraculous extraordinary superstitions then in "just words/teachings." The disciples concluded to embellish Jesus' story with miracles, only so that the people would look, listen, and then perhaps follow His "words"; and to fulfill misunderstood Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament. In [John 4:48], He tells of this: "... Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will BY NO MEANS believe." Also, [John 2:11,18]: "This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him."; "So the Jews answered and said to Him, 'What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?'"—In other words, without the "signs" nobody would just "believe in Him" or most importantly believe in "His words." [Mark 8:11,12]: "... 'Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, NO SIGN SHALL BE GIVEN to this generation.'" Also [Matt 12:38,39 & 16:1-4]: "... NO SIGN SHALL BE GIVEN ...." But some people believed in Him without any signs: [John 6:26-33]: "... you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, .... For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."—And that should explain metaphoric "bread" miracles. [1Cor 1:22]: "For Jews request a sign, ...."
[2 Tim 2:16,17]: "But shun profane and vain (excessive admiration) babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer."—This says that embellishing the true Christ, with signs and miracles, will cause more problems than good. By saying that certain miracles did happen, will create unbelievers (atheists) that will in-turn cause them to believe that it is okay to commit sin and/or any unethical act.—Atheists actually enjoy seeing the incorrect/unrealistic Christian/Bible teachings, so to justify why they feel they don't need to practice the good teachings (the Golden Rule stuff); and would therefore, have "an excuse" (they'll blame it on the Bible errors), in their afterlife, if (or when) God tells them otherwise and implements "payment for their sins"; and they will have to pay for their sins regardless (for fairness to the victims, and proper adjustment/adaptation into heaven). You see real sin (hurting innocent people) is something that we all know naturally as wrong, but we all naturally could care less. Even people that have never ever had religious teachings will still have to pay for their sins; but not near as much as the ones that try to "use" religion as a cop-out or an easy lie into heaven; because they will commit even more sin, because they believe that they have a good "balance" for their sins.
— RESURRECTION — Jesus was a truthful messenger of God, not a man that wants everybody to believe in fairy tales. All references to his resurrection should be considered as spiritual resurrection, and/or future resurrection, not immediate physical resurrection. Jesus tried to make it clear that "the resurrection" was rebirth into another realm "within you," which is the Spirit World (and the future New Jerusalem), not immediately right back into this same material world. [2 Tim 2:17,18]: "Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past ...."—Paul contradicts the literal "three day" physical resurrection. Also, [Rev 20:5]: ".... This is the first resurrection."—"The first resurrection" is when the Devil and Satan are bound [Rev 20:2]; which is "the second coming" of Christ (the millennium where Christ's true teachings will rule); where humans will operate and progress without individual "selfishness" ruling their destinies, fortunes, and accomplishments; which is the thousand year prerequisite to the physical New Jerusalem. [Luke 13:32]: "'... the third day I shall be perfected.'"—Jesus (the Golden Rule) has not been "perfected," until this day.
The actual date (millennium) is in the Bible: [2 Peter 3:8]: "But, beloved, DO NOT FORGET this ONE thing, that with the Lord (Jesus) one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."—Therefore, when Jesus said that He would rise from the dead (His "dead" [true] teachings will be known) on the third day, it was in code that meant He will rise in (and reign during) the third millennium—[Rev 20:4]: "And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years." Also, [Ps 90:4]: "For a thousand years in Your sight, Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night (a non-visible 'coded' amount of time, that is 'kept awake')."
One temporary benefit in all these physical miracles is that some people with below average intellect will be scared into believing that Jesus' supernatural abilities proves He can physically revenge everybody that doesn't do what he says; which therefore, would prompt (some) people to follow his teaching as to cause better ethical behavior. But God feels that total truth is still the best method.—You see, Jesus would lose his credibility with the above average intellects, and above average intellects can cause a lot of damage, in this world, if they become unethical and dishonest. So now nothing has changed—Jesus' teachings are still the things to follow. So now you can emphasize more on true faith in his teachings, not deceiving miracles. These "fairy tales" were placed by good people with good intentions; however, lying about the original physical works of Jesus (even with good intent, like for allegoric translation) will cause more harm than good. People have to believe in all or nothing. Once they see one problem, many will forsake Jesus' teachings and go back to their natural (bug in software) totally selfish beliefs. It doesn't really matter if Jesus rose physically from the dead or not, it doesn't really matter if Jesus' mother was a virgin or not, etc.; all that really matters is what we should do as people in this world. In other words, Jesus' teachings are Jesus' teachings, and how we should treat others is how we should treat others regardless if the miracles are true or not. See, it's "easy" to just believe in hocus-pocus stuff, if that's all we have to do to get into heaven. It's "hard" to do what Jesus is really all about—giving to the poor, not coveting, not lying, etc.
"Jesus died for our sins" is a cop-out; this doesn't mean that it's okay for us to sin. Sorry, but we are all still going to have to pay for our sins. The only good thing about all these cop-outs is it keeps Jesus' name popular, so that when true wise people stop and analyze what this "Jesus" was really all about, they will continue to find that He is the excellent One to follow, so we could learn how to not sin; and not because of His supposed miracles and easy way into heaven, but because of His Golden Rule teachings.—Jesus is an excellent guide on how people should treat each other. The real Jesus used to criticize the hypocrites of his day; he would do the same to His own followers today.
Top scientists are admitting that some kind of unexplained force is causing these laws of energy, the atom, and DNA formulas. It is not just happening by chance. The odds of everything acting the way that they do, only by chance, would be impossible. The simple fact that something is something logically proves that some kind of knowledge or thinking is behind it all. But we are way too large and independently complex to automatically know (or understand) what is beyond our touch; simply because the accumulation of what our five senses pick up is all that we can use to reason out what we should do next, while we move around our related matter (our bodies).—God cannot move matter the same way that we can, unless we cooperate and do it "for" Him.
People become atheists because Jesus' teachings and translations have been corrupted, by Satan—the living peoples' embellishments for their personal selfish desires. Even the smallest embellishments steer peoples' eyes slightly enough down the wrong road; into which, creates atheists and sinners; because they know that something is not right when they hear the selfish embellishments. Miracles also make atheists because it makes people believe that if God can automatically manipulate, move, and change matter (raise from the dead, and make the blind see, etc.) then why won't God miraculously answer their prayers by automatically fixing their problems? They will say (and mean) the church-taught "hocus-pocus" words; they will practice and do all the church-taught ethics; and still they are not as rich as their next door neighbor, that was born with it all. They will therefore, presume a one-sided bias God; and therefore, forsake faith (go to the other extreme) and see no reason to practice any ethics. The "every man for himself" thought, which every unknowledgeable newborn possesses.
If I believed that Jesus' mother was a virgin, and that Jesus performed miracles, and that He physically/tangibly rose from the dead, then I would just believe anything; and that would allow Satan to also make Me believe anything—so I could think that I'm "buying" or "lying" My way into heaven. Therefore, I am going to believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, but not the fairy tales and hocus-pocus. Believing just in the fairy tales makes it to easy to get to heaven. I don't believe that it's that "dishonestly" easy. I tell you, just because you choose the fairy tales and blind faith, as your salvation, doesn't mean that you are truly saved. Not sinning and good deeds (the Golden Rule) is the only way to "more" salvation, which is on a varying scale; which happens to be the true teachings of Jesus Christ.
— THE GOLDEN RULE — When churches talk about miracles they are taking everybody's attention off of the true and most important teachings of Jesus, accumulated in the Golden Rule. Higher intellects will "question" the miracle stuff and, in turn, they might end up forsaking the entire Bible, which leads them further away from the most important Golden Rule; which will, of course, create more sin and problems against Me and everybody else in the world.—Therefore, it is a sin to teach about any physical/tangible miracles or phenomenon that science can not yet prove. If, someday, science can prove how a virgin can conceive (2000 years ago), and how a mortal can literally physically and tangibly walk and talk after complete death (even today); then that would be the time to preach those miracles, never before; because the preaching of unconfirmed miracles will always create a wall between intelligent man and the Golden Rule. Having "faith" in Jesus' Golden Rule is the only necessary thing to have "faith" in. And having "faith" in the good that will come, as a result, of the Golden Rule. Anything else will simply lead people away from the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you [Luke 6:31; Matt 7:12; 5:44; Rom 12:10,16,20; 13:9; Gal 5:14,26; Phili 2:3,4; 1Thes 4:9; Heb 13:1; James 2:8,9; Lev 19:18; John 13:34,35; 15:12,17; 1John 3:11,23; 4:7,11,12,20,21; 2John 5; etc.]. People that see Jesus (the Golden Rule), see God (the Golden Rule), which is "the Word of God." Therefore, God is more "wondrous" when people are willfully working together, instead of against each other (like the rich against the poor, and vice versa). The Golden Rule will cover all true sins, e.g. lying, cheating, stealing, killing, etc.; and would cause no one a desire to "covet"; because the world would be more content, happy, and motivated in a much more productive way. The Golden Rule covers both "sin" (never hurting an "innocent" person), and it covers "doing good deeds." The Golden Rule is the most difficult thing for competitive humans to achieve, because a lot of it goes against our natural human selfish nature (the bug in our software—Satan).—Worshipping a person's "name" (only), and a lot of just "acting," is much easier; but it will cause even worse sin. There are many instances (especially in the business world) that lying, cheating and stealing will bring us "profits" (Ungodly profits, I might add); which just profits the sinning individual(s) (and their relations) only, not necessarily profits for the betterment of any others, the majority, and/or all of Gods people.—Much of this is condoned (allowed) by the legal system—depending on "who" you are.—There is an extreme Satanic leniency for the rich, the elderly, and females; which, as a whole, causes much more legal problems than if their was no legal system at all—which would not be good either. All this makes the Golden Rule much more difficult for each individual to practice and totally achieve. Where as, just believing in some fairy tale miracles, is very easy to go along with, because it won't interfere with the selfish "profits." Physical miracles is a very clever trick of the Devil.—So much, that when I polled church going Christians, all had heard that Jesus' mother was a virgin and that Jesus rose form the dead, but few could recite the Golden Rule. Plus, even if you simply have more money/possessions than anybody else, then you are not fully practicing the Golden Rule; which makes you "a liar" if you say you do [1John 2:4]. The Golden Rule—basically we all learned it in kindergarten, but forgot it by first grade.—It is taught to children so that children will get along and not cause problems, but since adults are the "Gods," in this world, they feel no need to recite the Golden Rule for themselves, especially when we've all got so many cop-outs instead (just in case there is a higher God—and there is). I tell you that the Golden Rule is what God wants all the churches to preach, especially to the adults; because both children and adults are all God's "children." "The Golden Rule" will cause "the Golden Age," which is defined as "A period of great peace, prosperity, and happiness."
Because of furious opposition (of that day), Jesus' direct disciples embellished or exaggerated their stories with miracles (that really didn't happen) so to get people to better listen to Jesus' teachings; not knowing that any untruth in any global writing will ultimately corrupt all of the rest; mostly by science and intelligence. Since one gospel led to the other and was available to the next writer, superstitious embellishments and exaggerations easily continued from writer to writer, and from translator to translator.—Sorry, but God (or Jesus) could not of been physically able to automatically stop it from happening, or it would have just been another miracle on top of another miracle, and if it's just that easy for God (or Jesus) to correct everybody, then why is their so many points of view and religions from the same writings?
— DOUBTING THOMAS — Now here's something distasteful, but this is a serious paper, for such an off-base world: What if Pontius Pilate had decided to have Jesus' body go through a meat grinder after crucifixion, then placed in the tomb (like as sandwiches). Then when Jesus' missing body became physically resurrected, would Jesus have been moving around as sandwiches? Maybe you will change it and say that He had come back in an "all new" perfect rectified body. But if His body was an "all new" perfect rectified body, why would it still have the crucifixion holes for doubting Thomas to put his fingers in, to show him that Jesus was literally in the same body; that could have been walking around as sandwiches "if"?—[John 20:20-29]. And if everybody saw Jesus' body go through the meat grinder, would doubting Thomas not believed His resurrection unless Jesus looked like talking sandwiches? Or if His body was an "all new" perfect rectified body, then why was the old body missing (or why did it need to be missing) to prove resurrection? Maybe modern day churches will want to make up something new, until it makes sense; or maybe the masquerade is over, and they should just try the Golden Rule (exclusively) for a "real" change, so to save at least some, or part, of their souls. [You can probably tell by now that this is not just another lying "charm" paper, but a "truth" paper. And if the truth burns now, I tell you that the Light-of-Truth, in your afterlife, will burn you a lot hotter, and will not stop burning you until you have paid equally for all of your sins]. Plus, why would somebody that knew Jesus very well, not believe it was Him by just looking at Him.—Also, [John 20:14;21:4]. However, [John 20:30,31]: "... BUT these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, ...."—Because, otherwise, nobody would have "believed."
— MAKING THE BLIND SEE — [John 9:39-41] "And Jesus said, 'For judgment I have come into this world, that those (the poor) who do not see (the truth) may see, and that those (the rich) who see (falsehood) may be made blind.' Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, 'Are we blind (not spoken literally) also?' Jesus said to them, 'If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you (hypocritically) say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains."—Therefore, metaphorically, making the blind see, is making them know (or "see") true sin, and/or who the true sinners really are (the rich). A "blind man" is just a man with no faith. When "the blind see" they just understand true sin.
[Matt 13:13-17] "Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. ... Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their heart and turn, So that I should HEAL them. But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it."—Jesus would "heal" people, by making them "understand" what they are "seeing" and "hearing."—These people are not literally blind and deaf.—[Luke 10:23,24]: "... 'Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.'"
[Matt 15:14] "Let them alone. They (the scribes and Pharisees) are blind (not literally) leaders of the blind. And if the blind (literally) leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch."—These scribes and Pharisees were not literally blind, but the metaphor/parable is literal.—[Matt 23:16-26]: "Woe to you, blind guides ...." [Rom 2:19]: "and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light of those who are in darkness."—Not a literal "light" but an informant of the truth. [Is 29:18] "In that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, And the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness." [Is 35:5]: "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped."—This is metaphoric for having the knowledge of God/truth.
In the literal sense, a real blind person could have been assured that they will have vision in their future resurrected perfected body, in the future New Jerusalem; unless the world destroys itself first (without the true Jesus [Golden Rule]).
— MIRACLE MESSAGES — Miracles do have metaphoric, parabolic or allegoric messages of what Jesus will cause to eventually come:
Fulfillment in the "near" future:
1. He turned water into wine—He made the most healthy (but the most flavorless) "water" to taste as good as the best wine (importantly comparable to fruits and vegetables being enough of a satisfying tasteful variety, without adding meat).
2. He makes the blind see and the deaf hear—He gives logical reason to practice "the Golden Rule," while He showed the poor and unlucky how they are not near as sinful as the rich and lucky.
3. He makes the lepers well—He made the most "ugly" (and all pariahs) sexually desirous (attractive).
4. He freed demon-possessed men—He taught people how to better use "logic" ("a word") to control their anger (and showed that anger is animalistic [swine received demons]).
5. He caused the widow to "not weep" over her dead son—He taught why it is not necessary to grieve over the dead; and how it is only advantageous to the Devil.
6. He shows where a large "catch" of food is—He causes "welfare" to go up; because the natural source of food ("the fig tree") "has withered away."
7. He feeds the multitudes—He feeds all the poor of the world.
8. He heals the Malchus's ear—He ends/heals all wounds of war, by "make love, not war."
9. Jesus forgave (healed) the (long morally diseased) man at Bethesda that had no one to baptize him—Jesus showed how victimless sins (like non-marital sex) are not sins, therefore no victim is available to baptize the repentance of restitution. (The other [real] sinners [sick people] had to pursue restitution and come to their sinned victims for baptismal repentance of restitution). But this false sin (no sex until marriage) caused the man to be "impotent" for 38 years. Jesus healed him of his "sickness" so he could have non-marital sex with no guilt.
Fulfillment in the "far" future (the New Jerusalem):
10. He brings the dead back to life—He brings charitable people back to life.
11. He makes the blind see and the deaf hear—He "literally" gives sight and hearing to the once-lived charitable blind and deaf.
12. He caused the widow to "not weep" over her dead son—He also taught her how (if they are charitable) that they will be (physically) together again in the New Jerusalem.
13. He makes the lame walk (and all the sick people become well)—He resurrects all charitable spirits into new unblemished perfect bodies.
14. He healed the stooped woman—He places the charitable elderly in young bodies.
15. He walked on the sea—Certain visions/workings of Jesus were Jesus' ghost (hallucinations).—He destroyed the fear of ghosts, death, and the Spirit World.
16. He calmed the storm at sea—He destroyed the fear of the physical world.
Note: Metaphoric, parabolic or allegoric stories, which are conveyed as actually come-to-past miracles (against science) can cause a lot more harm than good (even if they are true!), therefore NOT recommended. All stories to "bypass around Satan," should have been conveyed as fictional/mythical, not as actual events (especially "mixed in" with actual events). And, like how a modern day journalist/writer/director (movie) will partly embellish a true story so as to better sell his/her article/paper/movie; Jesus' teachings/life was embellished so to better "sell" Him to the Jews—but it never fully "sold" them, did it? As a result, all of Jesus' realistic "parables" have been accepted (by the Christians) as allegoric, and all of Jesus' non-realistic parables (miracles) have been accepted as real. Logically, non-repeatable "come-to-pass" miracles provides absolutely no "real" teaching values; it would have only magnified the earnings for the individual characters (Jesus; and, of course, whoever He healed), brings people's attention away from God's reality, and creates atheists. If Jesus actually (physically) healed those people, at that time, then why wasn't Jesus kind enough to share with us the "secret" of how He did it?—Then all those casualties in all those "Christian wars" could have kept getting right back up, to fight some more. ... Nope, "faith" didn't stop Hitler's tanks from rolling across Poland. Sorry, but This Paper is dealing with God's "reality," which is subordinate in time.
The following verses refer to Jesus' strict orders that these miracle parables/visions are NOT to be told/taught/written; (which, of course, had been placed in the Bible, in direct defiance of Jesus' orders): [Matt 8:4; 9:30; 12:16; 16:20; 17:9; Mark 1:44; 3:12; 5:43; 7:24,36; 8:26,30; 9:9; Luke 5:14; 8:56; 9:21,36]; e.g. [Mark 7:36]: "Then He (Jesus) commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it."
Conversely, some verses refer to Jesus' fulfilling certain miracles to be known at His current time. All of these refer to the removal of demons; as Jesus could have easily explained how anger indicates low intelligence; therefore a fulfillable miracle of that time: [Matt 9:33; Mark 1:28; 5:19,20; Luke 4:37; 8:39].
— A REPUBLICAN GOD — Some people believe that God doesn't care about being fair to humans; that He just wants the frill of the best, and "to hell" with the rest. Well, if that's the case, then Jesus was wrong, because Jesus was definitely a strong advocate for the poor and unlucky. I believe that Jesus' teachings is mankind's only hope for a prosperous future for the world and God; otherwise, the greed of the rich will eventually destroy the entire world, simply because the poor and unlucky aren't going to take it; because the poor are still smart "enough" to continue to cause major problems. —So it (the Golden Rule) is the only way. And I believe that if God was materially able to make all the seeds fall on good ground, He would! God does not want everybody to work "wonder" selfishly so much "against" each other, He would rather everybody work more "wonder" together "with" each other; simply because, as like how in all sports (and wars), working "with" each other always gains better results, then working "against" each other. And, if God just wanted the entire world to be just an entire jungle of pain, disorder, and survival of the fittest; He would have not needed to create the human brain to take charge of the world, so to clean it up and eventually make it flawless. Plus, as a human being, I can tell that My "pain" is a signal to Me from God that something is wrong; and since that signal was put into Me by God, I can conclude that God wants things that causes "pain" to be eliminated; and that would include "all" pain, eventually. And, conversely, God made free sex, for example, so wonderful so we'd do it more. Religious teachers should adjust to the truth, and the sooner the better for them and everybody else.
The human race's historic and modern day views on anger, sex, and welfare proves that the human brain is still developing and is far from perfect. Even I, when I block out My selfishness (Satan) and receive subliminal thoughts (messages) from God (and equally from the Devil), I am limited by My slow reasoning (translating) process, which is also based on the similarity: "You can't fill your gas tank faster then the pump will allow." And I am totally unable to correlate with God on subjects that I personally have no knowledge of. So I don't know everything; like most people, I just have certain specialties/abilities.
— POLITICS — The basic system (baring dishonesty) is the best that has ever been; but not the best that it could ever be. What would be a major improvement?—Require that "a" or "some" or maybe even "half" of the elect have a "welfare eligible" income/savings. Then you will start to see many more people working for God, that are worthy of advocating the name "Jesus Christ." The world is not fair, by nature (the bug in the software); that's the reason for a political system and secular laws—so to make it all more "fair." Like the unfairness of rich people that don't work (or work the desirable jobs), versus the condemnation of poor people that don't work, that's on welfare (or work the undesirable and/or degrading jobs). Today's best "rewards" are not so much based on accumulated skill and effort, but on luck and dishonesty. Politics and secular laws should not be just another cop-out tool so that the rich can get richer; but in many cases, it is.
— BODY AND BLOOD — Beware of the cunning tricks of the Devil. None of us are totally rid of the Devil as long as we live. Even Jesus Himself was not totally shielded from the tricks of the Devil. The Devil possesses the intelligence of everybody that has ever lived, up to that point in time. The Devil spoke in disguise to Jesus with the Devil's best weapon—something that "sounds good" mixed with Biblical errors. Being weakened by His strong opposition, from His peers, and threats of death, Jesus was tricked by a "sounds good" trick of the Devil.—Near the end of His life He told His disciples to eat and drink His flesh and blood literally (yes, literally); which they did, thinking that His earthly body was also needed to be physically consumed and spread. Further, His disciples and other followers later ate all of His dead body; and later, further Christians would continue to eat the dead bodies of the disciples, their children, so on and so on; because Jesus was not given the time to foresee the outcome of Satan's deception. This Satanic ritual caused many problems with the spread and popularity of the early Christians.—There are even documented stories that tell how the early Christians would actually kill Christian infants, when no corpse was available, so outsiders wishing to become Christians could eat the flesh and drink the blood that literally once belonged to Jesus. Christians practiced this Satanic ritual for hundreds of years, because they "wrongfully" thought that it was the only way to have "eternal life" [John 6:48-58]. These sickening events (from a 1997 point of view) served absolutely no betterment for society, or God.—By now, probably every Caucasian (and more) is a descendant of an ancestor that literally ate and drank the body of Jesus, but everybody still sins. Churches today stupidly still play with this Satanic ritual with just ordinary bread and wine; which is just another thing that will allow true sinners to use this as another lying cop-out, so they can still do real sin and believe that they will not have to pay for their sins, in their afterlife. It still amazes Me, though, how ignorant the public really is that would allow this to be left in the Bible, just because the churches (of that day) said that it was not literal; especially, when so many other public (political) liberties have been taken to remove other Bible passages.—It was probably allowed, to be left in the Bible, because of that "guarantee" for eternal life; because eating bread and wine is a pretty simple thing to do. It is definitely good, however, that today's Christians don't eat people; but we still eat animals, we just don't call it sacrifice to God.
Jesus also believed that offering Himself as a "one" food sacrifice, would help override (and/or "fulfill") the (wrongful) animal burnt offerings customarily done in those days, by the Jews; because of earlier prophets, that were also tricked by the Devil. [Heb 9:12 - 10:10,12]: "Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, .... By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. .... But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God."
Some people believe that Jesus meant "flesh and blood" as metaphors for "bread and wine"; but I tell you, hypothetically, this would have also been a major mistake (trick of the Devil) for Jesus to use "flesh and blood" as metaphors; because of the result that could (and did) happened if taken literally. Instead, the true metaphors are the converse "bread and wine."
It is a fact that Jesus did not know everything at the time of His birth; He did not know everything when He was five; nor did He know everything near the time of His death. As a matter of fact, He asked a lot of questions before He drew His conclusions. I (a living person), too, could also be deceived by the Devil; therefore, all earthly scholars should analyze all of My writings and speeches with truthful, logical (open), and unbiased scrutiny.
— BAPTISM — John the Baptist was hypocritically arrested by Herod Antipas, not because John was calling people to worship the same God in a different way (baptism), but because John was having baptismal sex orgies in the river!—"An unlawful act." In defense, John bravely pointed out to Herod that he (Herod) also has "incest" with his brother's wife; so what's the difference? The difference is that Herod's incest was of a "dishonest" adultery type (brother's possession [wife] stolen); and John's is of an "honest" type that "forgives" everyone for the sin of marriage, and "purifies" their bodies/minds ("healing the sick"), which builds love and consideration for each other; and nobody gets hurt (loses a possession [wife/husband]). Then Salome (Herod's attractive stepdaughter) promised Herod that he could have sex with her (instigated by her mother), if he would behead the Baptist.
"The voice of one crying in the wilderness" is a person that has no sex partner. Also, Jesus went into the wilderness, not without food, but without sex (to analyze ["winnow"] truth without outside influence), for forty days and forty nights.—He could NOT live that long (or be able to walk afterwards) without food. Among other things (to sort out), Jesus could analyze if the Devil was right about, if Jesus could go a long time without sex, that He would not desire sex any more; but Jesus concluded that it was still desirous, and still desirous with more than just one exclusive person (a wife). Also note [Matt 9:10-15]; to "eat" (here) means to "have sex"; to "fast" (here) means to "go without sex": "... the day will come when the bridegroom will be taken away (divorced) from them (his wife), and then they will fast (go without sex)." Also [Mark 2:15-20 & Luke 5:29-35]. [Why must I feel that so many clergies/people are just going to hate (or despise) Me for saying this? Is that what they think God wants them to do? It's probably because I've been reading what people used to do to others in the Bible]. [Some will say that many of My claims are not fully (modern day) Biblically supported, and therefore outrageous; but, I tell you, believing that Christ was against non-marital sex is just as much, or even less supported. People believe it, simply because their idols tell them to believe it. The difference is, that My written claims do fill in the blanks that otherwise oppose reality, or "blanks" that just don't make any sense at all (parables, etc.). And I'm totally aware that many of these "blanks" have been interpreted to be more support for everybody's cop-outs. Of course, just because something "fits" does mean that I expect everyone to automatically believe that it's conclusive.—This is still the "real" world, isn't it?] [If I receive a further inspiration about what God is, beyond those "points," do you want to hear it, or would you rather I just keep My mouth shut?]
People feel good after being baptized (in the modern day sense) not because they now feel more like caring for others (they could have felt that way before), they feel good because they feel repented/forgiven of all their sins—both real sins, and sins that are not even sins; and it justifies the committing of more sins.
