A lady e-mailed me recently asking if I believe that Jesus died for my
sins. I fudged the question because I was not prepared to answer it.
That has changed.
There is not one word in the Bible that makes that claim! He did not die
for my sins. The concept that I would ask any human or God to die for my
sins is abhorrent to me! I will pay for my own sins, thank you! What
other fear would I have NOT TO SIN than the fact that I would have to
answer to my God? Local laws? They don�t put you in jail for being mean
or selfish or a liar!
This concept was created by the Roman Catholic Church to offset any
movement against Rome for being party to his death. By making him a
volunteer, so to speak, for his own death, he absolved Rome from his
fate. By claiming it as an act of the utmost in unselfish behavior,it
stopped anybody from questioning Rome�s right to be the center of the
Religion. It worked even better for Rome as time went by and the
corruption set in. Jesus will forgive us! He took our sins on himself!
A few hail Mary�s and we�re off the hook!
However, in studying the New Testament, it is obvious that his death
was predestined and he was a party to his own end. In asking myself why,
I can look back on 2,000 years of our history. Two thousand years of
Religious wars, hate and fear of our neighbors. Of fighting for land,
power, wealth. All this in the face and knowledge of the gentle words
of our �savior� on how to live in peace together. Notice, his last act
was a meal with his followers. Notice all the meals that are mentioned
in the New Testament? Because, when you share food you are not fighting.
Think I am lying? Or putting you on? Think again. It was Paul who needed
a Church building! So he could have position at the head of a group.
And place others there. And where did he get that need? From his old
role as Temple Priest! He was a very wise man and knew his Hebrew
History. And understood that history and its psychology down to a tee.
If you are Jewish or a Catholic or Muslim or a firm believer in the
old Testament, then don�t read any further, for I am going to test your
belief in the God of the Hebrews.
For in all the pages of the Old Testament, he never claims to be the
God of the whole earth and its people! Only the God of Abraham and his
offspring or descendants.
Moses was a Con Artist extrodinair! Having been raised as the son of
a Royal princess but without the true lineage he had no claim to a
throne. But he could be a high priest in the Temple. This was a normal
and usual position for some of the sons of rulers. And this is where
he learnt his tricks. He stole the �ten commandments! They were among
the list of laws of Hammurabi, who was a great king previous to the
time of the Exodus. Moses, as high priest would have known of these
laws before the Exodus took place, as they were written not long before.
As slaves, his fellow Hebrews would not have known of them.
How can you read the story of Moses and not notice the inconsistencies?
Not long after he gives those ten commandments to his tribe, than they
go and break them. It says; Thou shall not KILL! It doesn�t say; except
in war! Yet he and his followers proceed to kill and destroy city after
city! You can find the list in my section on Moses. They killed women
and children! Babes in arms, pregnant women. Or did you think they
only killed the men? Even if they did, they condemned those women and
children to starve to death when they moved on to the next city, for
who was going to feed them?
The Ten Commandments say, "Thou shalt not steal." Yet, do you think
they left the valuables behind after killing the people? Or the live
stock? Get real! And under Moses orders didn't they steal the Jewelry
Of the women of Egypt just before the Exodus?
Why do you think Moses set up that elaborate ritual and tribal division?
He was a master of the psychology of intimidation and divide and conquer.
By creating tribes with specific ritual jobs, he stroked their ego�s. He
also created a caste system as bad as anything in India. Thus creating
security for his own position as absolute leader. Those at the top
wanted to stay there and to do that they had to make and keep Moses in
the highest place, since it was his word that created their new position.
Remember, these people had been slaves for over 300 years! This was a
BIG STEP up for them. What an ego builder in front of their wives and
children! Which meant that they would back anything Moses cared to tell
them.
I would not be writing this if Moses had followed those 10 commandments!
But not only did he break the best one; Thou shalt not kill! He went on
to greater degrees of degrading his followers. It is one thing to kill
animals to keep from starving but to make the killing into a ritual for
the God who is supposed to have created all life forms? The same God
supposedly who, in the first Genesis gave man and beast fruits and
grains to eat? Not each other!
What better way to degrade men and make them capable of killing?
Remember, these men had been slaves! They would not have been warriors,
or done any killing before this time. Their very psyche�s had to be
altered.
My God had no part in that religion! Which is why I believe HE sent
Jesus to us and why Jesus said, " I come not to bring peace but the
sword."
I know that on the surface that does not make much sense, but think a
minute; He taught PEACE, and love for each other. He showed that the
rules were to be broken when a life was at stake. He came as a bastard
child to show that ALL LIFE is precious and holy. If he had been
conceived after wedlock can you imagine how we would have interpreted
that? They had been stoning women for sex out of marriage. In fact the Catholic Church symbolically spit on Jesus when they made a child born
out of wedlock unable to be a member of the Church, or his mother. As
well as denying them holy ground to be buried in! Oh, I know what you
are going to say: Jesus was an immaculate conception. Get real. Men
lie! God doesn�t go against his own creative laws!
Jesus knew that what he taught was dangerous to any king who needed
killing machines for war, and that people would have to die to stand
up to the war lords of this world. Ghandi knew that that was the secret
to winning because there are more people who abhor killing than there
are killers. That is what Jesus meant by turning the other cheek. That
sooner or later killing people who don�t fight back will sicken even
the hardest souls. Deep down in all mankind is the need to be loved
and we need an enemy in order to kill! By not fighting the Romans. By
not fighting against the blows and the cruelty he must have had a
terrible impact on the soldiers and Romans and the people who watched.
They went home with bile in their mouths. How many do you think slept
well that night..
His warning may have been that his death would spark wars in the name
of religion that would bring us all to our doom. That we would be
judged in the next two thousand years on our ability to �turn the other
cheek�. If we turn the other cheek and are still killed, who do you
think will go to hell? Or pay the piper? If you don�t believe in another
life or heaven or reincarnation of course, then killing has no other
punishment than what man can meet out. If, on the other hand, you
believe in a creator who judges our lives, well, I�ll let you figure
it out.
Since this message comes at a time in our lives when we have just been
through the september 11th massacre I hope that the meaning of the
above words will be understood.
And in view of what is taking place on the Earth today I am going to
leave you with another warning. I am not wrong in this. Within our sky's
the astronomers have detected a massive newcomer. A dark body. They
think it may be a twin dead sun of our system. Whatever they think, it is
Niberu. And it is affecting our lives as I speak. There is nothing in
our solar system that does not have a direct affect on our lives in some
manner or other. The anciant scientist knew this. That is what astrology
was all about. This body in space does not have to be close to us to
affect us. It will set up vibrations throughout space and excite the very
atoms around us, which in turn will have an affect on our bodies whether
we like it or not. Anger, hate, all the emotions will become extreme if
we are not aware of these dangers. As it comes closer this will become
more evident. So take this into account as you go about your lives.
