2) "Verily, I say unto you, such would not be possible even for the greatest, most wicked tyrant in the world. Certainly, it is known to come of you from the history of ancient, medieval and present days, that excessively eager tyrants ultimately became afraid of themselves. Many of them fled for no other reason than such increasing self fear and then usually found their destruction. In this connection I will add the informationthat- after a certain duration of tyrannical dominion -such a scum of human wickedness became more and more possessed by wicked, unfermented demons, whom they had to serve as instruments of their demoniacal vengeance which they had fostered against a people.
3) "If a judge would condemn to everlasting hell these tyrants who heaped one cruelty upon another, he would be a greater tyrant than they. How then would I, as such a severe judge, under the greatest pains of My body, have been able to ask the Father, the everlasting Love within Me, to forgive all those, who had ordered My crucifixion and then carried it out, because they did not what they were doing? Of the Pharisees, beginning with the high priest, Caiaphas - and the hangmen who fastened My body to the cross, none knew with Whom they were really dealing. In spite of all My deeds and teaching, they considered Me first as a chief magician from the school of the Essenes (this idea is still spooking around) whom they hated beyond measure, and secondly, as a Jewish rebel who gave the Romans an opportunity to rob the Jews of their freedom and ultimately even of their religious cult. The number of My enemies increased according to the greatness of My signs.
4) "As regards the hangmen: most soldiers of the Romans were hired individuals, collected from all over the nations of the Roman empire. They were more liked by the Romans, the more cruel and heartless they showed themselves in battles and small executions. A compassionate Roman soldier would have been a real absurdity for the warlike sense of the Romans. From this you can conclude that the ordinary Roman hirelings knew still less what they did than My arch-enemies; and therefore one can ask here again, whether it would really have been righteous and correct, according to My divine Wisdom, if one condemned all those men for what they had done to Me and throw them into everlasting hell torture, torment and pain. Did I condemn the left-hand thief on the cross because he jeered at Me? That is not written anywhere; but I assured the other thief who recognized Me as a righteous man and reproached the left side thief because of his mockery, still that very day, though he had robbed and murdered. (Paradise is not heaven but a condition of peace).
5) "Where then is that so terribly depicted 'judgment day', when perhaps only a decillionth of people would get into heaven and all others into hell? How could this One, Who wrote the guilt of an adulteress into the sand of the temple and Who, on another occasion in the presence of many sinners, loudly exclaimed: 'Come unto Me, all who labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest !' - indeed! How could this One have preached about such a day of terror? A scribe, who manifested only a half-way belief in Me, said: "Master, I recognize that You teach righteously and correctly. One cannot have anything against what You teach; yet You said that whoever believes in You and lives according to Your words will have everlasting life, even though he died for the hundredth time in this world. But consider now the nations and people upon this earth who may not have heard anything of You and Your teaching in the next 2000 or more years; how can they believe in You and live according to Your words? Will these many, almost numberless people go into everlasting death merely because they could not believe in You and keep Your Word?
6) "As it was night, I pointed with two fingers up to the firmament dotted with many stars saying: 'There, look! That is the house of My Father! Within this endlessly great house there are many dwelling places. Those who had no opportunity to know Me here nor could listen to My words will certainly find within this great house and opportunity that is purposeful for their everlasting life. Therefore, do not worry about who, now or later, cannot learn of Me; for My Father knows them all. Out of His love and wisdom, He has not called a single one into existence for an everlasting fall, but for an everlasting resurrection. Your question was foolish, though it appeared to be wise. DidI condemn the bad steward, to whom all of you may be likened in a greater or lesser degree - because of his poor stewardship, since he deceived his lord and yet rendered a kind action to his debtors, though he knew that his master would dismiss him? I did not say then: 'Do not act like such a steward', but 'do as he did; and those, to whom you have given spiritual and physical aid on My account, will some day receive you into their heavenly dwellings'.
7) "In the light of such a teaching, how does the terrible 'last judgment day' look, which the two vengeance evangelists wrote, such as 'L'Rabbas (in place of Matthew) and Theophilus (in place of Luke)? These two have sinned manifoldly against My love and wisdom. The most shocking things happened after the great church council of Nicaea on the Greek side and still more on that of the Roman archbishops. They made great efforts to paint in vivid colors the last judgment, purgatory and hell. By borrowing from the pagan 'Tartarus' and the old Jewish 'Sheol', they made of Me, in one person, the well known 'AAkus', 'Minos' and 'Rhadamantus',who represented the office of judgment over deceased souls. Therefore, I would have to judge inexorably and mercilessly, condemn and hurl into hell forever everybody who does not obey the regulations and orders of the so-called 'Holy Father' in Rome.
8) "Herewith I have sufficiently shown that neither I nor any of My genuine evangelists could ever have been the inventors of such teachings; for I am not today the highest compassionate love, but tomorrow full of highest revenge, inexorably lack of compassion and eternal desire of punishment and torture for My children, on account of their sins, for which, essentially, they often have not a hundredth part of the actual guilt. I have not come to increase what was lost but, in all love, to seek it and bring it back to the light, in order that it may not remain lost. I came to earth as a Savior for the sick - not for the healthy. Should I have made the sick still sicker than they already are? That would harmonize with the doctrine and attitude of the Pharisees and especially with that ofthe many so-called 'Holy Fathers' in Rome, but not at all with Me, Who, as a man, never let others call Me 'good master'. I said, 'Why do you call Me 'good'? No one is good but God alone. Call no man on earth your 'Father'; for you have only One Father in heaven, and nobody is holy but your God!'
9) "Therefore, what should one think of such a pretending 'representative of God on earth', who has himself addressed as 'Holy Father' or 'Your Holiness', and what should one make of the 'last judgment day', preceded by a special judgment, purgatory and hell, primarily propagated by the priests? I tell you this much: genuine and true are not 'His Holiness', the subordinate 'Eminences', the throne of Peter in Rome (which city Peter never saw); true are not the splinters of the cross upon which I was crucified, which for most wise reasons cannot be found anywhere on earth. False is also My coat, which has often been shown at Trier in Germany, and untrue the bones of those three Kings shown in Cologne or the three iron nails kept in Milan (of them there are so many in all the Roman and Greek churches that one could build a small railroad with them). I need not say more It may also be known to you, that more than three heads of John the Baptist have been discovered, and also that in the supposed cave of My birth, petrified milk of My mother, Mary, is continuously being found, which is sold to pious pilgrims along with many other 'holy relics'.
10) "Therefore, trust only the gospel of the evangelist John; for his gospel and revelation were written with his own hand. I have shown you what is wrong with the gospels of Matthew and Luke. After John, Mark should be considered; for all he gives in brevity is taken from the Apostle Paul. In regard to the most terrible 'judgment day', expected to come at the end of all times, I need not say any more. Amen."
