 Quoting: Curious George IV 13910414


You are asking the wrong people.

Jesus, per his own saying, was only sent to the HOUSE OF ISRAEL.


So, you should be asking Jews. Well, maybe not the Jews of today, who will tell you all kinds of nasty things about Jesus.


But, in essence, Jesus came as THE LAST JEWISH PROPHET sent from God - it was, more or less, the LAST chance for Jews to be saved.

Yet they rejected him.

And he did not come with anything new - he came, as he said, "not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it".

The basic and most simple message he brought was the old one, already known to the Jews:

"Hear oh Israel, the Lord our God is One".

Ah, but you see, my dear jewish brother, therein lies the problem: You are two extreme opposites of each other.

The christians elevated Jesus to Godhood.
The jews rejected him completely.

As usual, the truth lies somewhere in between: That he was a man, not God, but a Prophet sent from God. He did not teach any of the absurd things you find in the NT, which are basically sayings of anonymous authors, but tracing it back, doing to the "Q" source, one can try to find bits of what he taught - and that is basically in concordance with what all the other prophets taught.


This is the path I follow.

I myself believe in yeshua, and I believe he has the spark of joseph.
like joseph yeshua was sold to the gentiles. joseph became second to pharaoh almost a king, and now yeshua became jebus king of Christianity.
when the brothers went down to Egypt they couldn't recognize joseph because he was clothed in the clothes and gifts of pharaoh (paganism)
and now we cant recognize yeshua because he is clothed in paganism that chirstianity dressed him with.

Jesus came to give us the Fruit of the Tree of Life.


He came to progress humanity to the next phase.


The Grail is the Elixir of Longevity. And Jesus came to give us Eternal Life.


He is the Divine Physician. Granting Health and Long Living to mankind with the Eucharist.

The power within his Flesh and his Blood was brought forth in the Bread and the Wine for you to partake in it.


He healed the sick and raised the dead.


And for trying to give us what the builders refused, for trying to complete the Great Work.

He was Crucified.

 Quoting: furPete'sSake


Ahm, no, you are oversimplifying things.
It's not just catholic church that did that.

The whole "paganisation" started with Saul of Tarsus, better known as Paul, who was AT ODDS with the real disciples of Jesus, who were real monotheistic believers. Even in the writings we have today, one can see remnants of these problems that existed between Paul and the other disciples.

It was Paul who as the first one came up with the whole idea of Jesus being "something more" than just a man. And it was him who first came up with the idea of Jesus being a "salvation" for mankind and a "lamb" etc.

Derived from this, since ALL the NT evangelists wrote AFTER Paul, come the stories in the 4 gospels which were actually an apologetic work to try and fit the "paulian Jesus" into their scripture.

One can even see the progression in the Gospels, with Mark as the earliest gospel, having Jesus still very much as a "man", up to John, almost half a century later, having elevated Jesus to Godhood.

Only a BLIND and IGNORANT person does not want to SEE this obvious progression.

Here is an article I wrote specifically on Paul and these issues:

Realize you are a sinner
because sin entered into the world
and you were born into it.
Accept him as the Son of God
and that you are nothing without him.
You cannot save yourself yourself
you cannot save yourself by being good
though it's commendable
you can only get to Heaven
by believing in the Son of God.
And if you don't acknowledge him or your sins
he won't acknowledge
you when the time comes.
It's pretty simple.
It's not rocket science.
Then ask him to forgive you

and try your damndest to be a decent person instead of a twat

The terrorists attacks which will be launched in the United States will be blamed upon middle eastern religious fanatics, Christian fundamentalists, white supremacists, Patriots, or Militias. A more immediate result of these operations will be the increased use of military forces, weaponry, and equipment such as tanks and armored personnel carriers in civilian law enforcement, the suspension or elimination of Habeas Corpus, the elimination of jury trials, the attempted disarming of the American People, and the institution of martial law with show-trials conducted by a tribunal of judges. - William Cooper 1997 (RIP)

1, God loves good and hates evil but we don't truly understand what that means so he made this life as A PLAN to teach us, that we might learn to love good and refuse evil.

2, God showed us what He hates in the law and gave a penalty. We rebelled and broke His law.

3, God showed us what He loves. To teach us love, He took our penalty for us. Mercy and Love were His greatest lessons.

4, If we admit that we deserve His penalty and then choose His love then we won't suffer the penalty. Lessons learned.

5, We can then learn to love others as He loved us. Forgiving one another when they break our standards.

(The penalty, just like in society. There are those who don't want to learn and become useless and end up in prison.)
