Colossians 1:22
“But
now
He
has
reconciled
you
by
Christ’s
physical
body
through
death
to
present
you
holy
,
unblemished
, and
blameless
in
His presence
—”
- Berean Standard Bible
THIS is the CHRIST of TRUE CHRISTIANITY
CHRIST being the ALPHA in ALL!
The FIRST in EVERYTHING!
The FIRST to LOVE, and the FIRST to declare YOU HOLY too!
Is
this
not
how
it
works
in
this
life
on
earth
too?
If
you
take
the
FIRST
step
to
treat
a
person
with
DIGNITY
,
irrespective
of
that
person
being
rude
and
malign
in
his
or
her
behaviour,
does
it
not
so
happen
that
that
person
starts
to
act
accordingly?
What
happens
If
someone,
stemming
from
a
hostile
background
of
hatred
and
disregard
and
having
inevitably
BECOME
that
background,
is
all
of
a
sudden
treated
in
an
opposite
manner
of
LOVE
and
RESPECT
?
That
person
for
the
FIRST
time
in
his
or
her
life
feels
validated
,
feels
admired
,
feels
loved
and
respected
!
Love
changes
all
!
Love is
power
!
Only
love
is
needed
to
make
a
person
automatically
change
for
the
opposite,
being
prompted
to
live
up
to
that
love
and
worth
bestowed
upon
him
or
her!
Reality
is
the
proof!
The
moment
the
penny
drops
and
you
believe
in
THIS
CHRIST
,
that
moment
you
start
weeping
like
Peter
did
when
he
realised
how
he
has
denied
the
Jesus
who
loved
him
first.
Peter
was
overcome
with
sorrow!
You
can
NEVER
earn
your
holiness!
You
can
only
experience
holiness
without
an
ego
and
the
so-called
‘free
will’!
You
can
only
accept
a
gift
in
humility!
You
can
only
have
freedom
in
humility,
having
a
JOY
unknown!
How can you APPLY this verse above to YOURSELF if you don’t believe it?
How can you BELIEVE it other than to directly ask this Christ for it?
Besides,
How can you ACT holy if you don’t FEEL holy?
Likewise, how can you ACT lovingly if you don’t FEEL loved?
If
this
does
not
blow
your
mind,
then
what
will?
This
is
the
Christ
the
world
has
never
heard
about!
This
is
the
Christ
on
whose
Blood
the
2.3
billion
so-called
‘Christians’
are
trampling
upon!
This
is
the
Christ
who
has
made
you
holy
,
unblemished
and
blameless
through
His
unimaginable
suffering
for
YOU
,
no
matter
who
you
are,
or
what
you
believe!
And
you,
‘Christian’,
you
who
believe
in
everlasting
condemnation,
you
are
guilty
of
the
most
abominable
trespass
possible.
Have
you
any
idea
of
the
extreme
penalty
awaiting
all
those
who
trample
upon
Jesus’
Blood?
Anybody
who
does
not
believe
this
will
have
to
go
through
extreme
painful
correction
at
the
hand
of
Christ…
in
order
to
have
everlasting life with Him in heaven!
YES
,
ALL
are
holy
,
being
set
aside
for
God
at
Golgotha
already!
Have
you
ever
seen
this
message
on
the
internet,
let
alone
having
heard
this
from
pulpits?
NO
.
See,
the
so-called
‘Christian’
church
patriarchs
don’t
want
ANYBODY
to
know
this,
because
their
concrete
structures
of
control
will
come
tumbling
down
in
no
time!
Because
this
would
mean
NO
control,
NO
power,
NO
money
anymore!
To
focus
on
verses
around
Christ’s
unlimited
atonement
will
be
the
‘
most
unwise
’ route to take and a
no-no
from start!
Is this message a foreign concept to you? Sure it is! Why?
Because
deception
is
rhetorical
fallacy.
Truth
is
being
made
the
unfamiliar
,
kept
away
for
millennia
through
sophism,
especially
around
Christ
!
Everything
that
ever
happens
on
earth
is
part
and
parcel
of
the
Biblical
prophecy
of
global
deception
come
true!
Deception
is
all
part
of
God’s
Holy
Plan
and
nobody
is
in
control,
the
very
reason
I
do
not
hold
anyone
accountable
for
anything,
however,
to
express
myself
with
boldness
comes
automatic,
as
it’s
crunch
time
for
all
humanity, giving no room for mollifying talk at all. This is no consulting room, but a website caring for
ALL
people!
Revelation 12:9
“And
the
great
dragon
was
hurled
down—that
ancient
serpent
called
the
devil
and
Satan,
the
deceiver of the whole world
. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.”
- Berean Standard Bible
Romans 2:11
“For there is no partiality with God.”
- Berean Literal Bible
God has NO favourites
I
strictly
address
the
so-called
‘Christian’
church
here,
the
church
with
its
thousands
of
skyrocketing
denominational
cries
of
exclusivity
all
over
the
planet,
all
of
which
each
proclaims
to
have
‘exclusive
truth’,
with
its
‘unique
touch’
to
draw
the
gullible
crowds.
Which
one
of
these
is
the
‘
prime
root
’
you
think?
The
exclusivity-cloaked
Roman
Catholic
Church
!
And,
here
of
course
all
reformed
churches
under
the
same
umbrella
lie
of
‘
eternal
condemnation
’,
together
with
their
same
pagan
practices
,
are
not
excluded,
as
their
boats
are
very
much
in
the
same
sea
of
schismatic
storms
as well.
You’ve been taken for a ride on these for far too long!
So then, know this ONCE and for ALL…
2 Corinthians 5:19-20
“
19
that
God
was
reconciling
the
world
to
himself
in
Christ
,
not
counting
people’s
sins
against
them
.
And
he
has
committed
to
us
the
message
of
reconciliation.
20
We
are
therefore
Christ’s
ambassadors,
as
though
God
were
making
his
appeal
through
us.
We
implore
you
on
Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God
.”
- New International Version
What
does
this
mean
in
plain
English?
It
means
that,
with
the
sacrificial
death
of
Christ
at
Golgotha,
God
has
torn
His
temple
curtain
of
separation
in
two,
giving
access
for
ALL
to
HIM
,
the
HOLY
GOD
of
the
universe!
It
means
that
He
has
wiped
ALL
SIN
from
the
face
of
the
earth,
cleansing
the
slate
of
everyone
,
including
YOURS
!
It
means
that
HE
has
put
His
arms
around
YOU
and
everyone
else
and
that
He
is
NO
longer
separated
from
anybody,
having
brought
everyone
into
His
holiness
!
By
even
justifying
the
unbeliever
,
He
has
declared
ALL
people
RIGHTEOUS
,
to
be
good
enough
!
Have
you
reconciled
YOU
to
this
GOD
?
If
you
haven’t,
then
you
can’t
experience
your
holiness
at
all.
Moreover,
you
cannot
by
default
feel
good
about
yourself
and
neither
can
you
internally
feel
completely
sure
of
going
to
heaven,
as
long as you have this ‘eternal damnation’ cloud hovering above you. Harsh words, but imperative to make you think!
Romans 4:5
“But
to
the
one
who
does
not
work
,
but
believes
in
Him
who
justifies
the
ungodly
,
his
faith
is
credited as
righteousness
,”
- NASB 1995
Only WITHIN believing this verse you have righteous faith
and ONLY with righteous faith can you be WITHIN Christ!
Do
you
accept
the
holiness
He
gave
you
?
Do
you
accept
the
mere
fact
that
God
has
declared
the
UNBELIEVER
to
be
holy
too?
Is
it
too
much
for
you
to
digest
that
those,
having
inflicted
you
with
so
much
pain,
going
‘scot
free’
to
heaven?
Rest
assured,
NOBODY
is
going
‘scot
free’
to
heaven
at
all!
ALL
will
be
salted
with
Fire
first
and
you
of
course
know
how sore purifying salt is to a wound, let alone
salt WITH Fire
!
Mark 9:49
“Everyone will be salted with fire.”
- New International Version
Hebrews 10:31
“It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
- New International Version
God’s
purification
of
ALL
is
EXTREMELY
sore.
Why?
Because
God’s
ultimate
GLORY
for
ALL
will
be
indescribably
wonderful
!
So,
the
painful
price
NEVER
outweighs
the
glorious
RESULT
!
Jesus
knew
the
result!
He
knew
the
pain
awaiting
HIM
at
Golgotha,
but
also
the
GLORY
awaiting
ALL
,
AFTER
His
painful
disciplining
of
everyone,
whether
on
earth,
in
Hades,
or
in
the
Gehenna
(
Lake
of
Fire
).
Jesus
couldn’t
wait
to
kindle
the
Fire,
starting
with
His
purification
work
after
His
ascension
into
His
Father’s
right
hand
of
discipline,
Jesus
then
BEING
His
Father’s
Right
Hand
of
Fire!
Paul’s correction was on earth (
1 Corinthians 11:32
)! So, it’s far better having it here than inevitably later!
Hebrews 12:2
“Let
us
fix
our
eyes
on
Jesus,
the
author
and
perfecter
of
our
faith,
who
for
the
joy
set
before
Him
endured
the
cross,
scorning
its
shame
,
and
sat
down
at
the
right
hand
of
the
throne
of
God.”
- Berean Standard Bible
Luke 12:49
““I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!”
- New International Version
1 John 3:5-6
“
5
But
you
know
that
Christ
appeared
to
take
away
sins
,
and
in
Him
there
is
no
sin
.
6
No
one
who
remains
in
Him
keeps
on
sinning
.
No
one
who
continues
to
sin
has
seen
Him
or
known
Him.”
- Berean Standard Bible
To
repeat
myself,
since
Christ
has
taken
ALL
sin
away
from
ALL
humanity
and
since
He
HAS
NO
sin,
every
person
who
is
within
Him
has
NO
SIN
either
!
This
simply
means
that
ONLY
the
one
who
believes
in
this
Christ
knows
Him
and
is
within
Him!
This
has
incredible
value
in
that
you
KNOW
you
have
no
sin,
which
gives
you
the
peace
that
surpasses
all
understanding, guarding your heart and your mind
WITHIN
Him (
Philippians 4:7
).
And
not
only
do
you
have
this
wonderful
security
and
consolation
within
Him,
but
you
also
have
the
intimate
relationship
with
Him
to
have
the
courage
to
directly
ask
HIM
for
forgiveness
for
any
trespass
that
bothers
you.
The
beauty
is,
He
immediately
forgives
you
your
trespass
and
the
peace
mentioned
above
is
restored
in
seconds!
Even
Paul
constantly
suffered
missing
the
mark,
but
he
so
beautifully
explains
his
freedom
in
his
slavery
to
Christ’s
GRACE
and
not
to the law of the flesh. See below.
Romans 7:23-25
“
23
but
I
see
another
law
at
work
in
me
,
waging
war
against
the
law
of
my
mind
and
making
me
a
prisoner
of
the
law
of
sin
at
work
within
me.
24
What
a
wretched
man
I
am
!
Who
will
rescue
me
from
this
body
that
is
subject
to
death?
25
Thanks
be
to
God
,
who
delivers
me
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord!
So
then,
I
myself
in
my
mind
am
a
slave
to
God’s
law
,
but
in
my
sinful
nature
a
slave to the law of sin
. ”
- New International Version
Romans 8:1-2
“
1
Therefore
,
there
is
now
no
condemnation
for
those
who
are
in
Christ
Jesus
,
2
because
through
Christ
Jesus
the
law
of
the
Spirit
who
gives
life
has
set
you
free
from
the
law
of
sin
and death. ”
- New International Version
Do you visit a confession booth for absolution of your sins by a priest?
And
if
you
do,
just
know
that
this
is
totally
unbiblical
!
Does
the
phrase
“
No,
Jesus
is
too
busy,
I
cannot
bother
Him
with
my
problem
”
sound
familiar
to
you?
This
was
what
my
next
door
neighbour
of
way
back
told
me
upon
my
suggestion
to
her
to
ask
Christ
for
assistance
with
a
serious
problem
she
had.
The
following
is
a
paraphrase
of
the
response
Hans-
Joachim,
as
a
small
boy
in
Germany,
got
from
a
priest
to
whom
he
went
for
confession,
“
You
confessed
now
.
Now
go
to
the
saint
over
there
and
pray
this
prayer
quite
a
few
times
.
Don’t
go
to
Jesus
[on
the
crucifix]
though
,
because
He
is
too
busy
.
Then
light
a
candle
”.
The
candle
was
not
free
and
Hans-Joachim,
having
had
no
money
with
him,
had
to
run
home
to fetch a few scarce “Groschen” to buy one.
1 John 1:6-7
“
6
If
we
say
we
have
fellowship
with
Him
yet
walk
in
the
darkness
,
we
lie
and
do
not
practice
the
truth
.
7
But
if
we
walk
in
the
light
as
He
is
in
the
light
,
we
have
fellowship
with
one
another,
and the
blood of Jesus
His Son
cleanses us from all sin
.”
- Berean Standard Bible
Yes,
we
constantly
miss
the
mark
and
for
that
Christ
also
made
provision.
With
His
constant
Presence
within
us
and
His
constant
awareness
of
our
every
step
and
inner
feelings
(
Proverbs 16:9
),
it
becomes
second
nature
to
just
go
to
Him
whenever we want to get something off our chest as in Him we find immediate relief and pardon (
Matthew 11:28
).
1 John 1:9
“If
we
confess
our
sins,
he
is
faithful
and
just
and
will
forgive
us
our
sins
and
purify
us
from
all unrighteousness
.”
- New International Version
1 John 2:1
“My
dear
children,
I
write
this
to
you
so
that
you
will
not
sin.
But
if
anybody
does
sin
,
we
have
an advocate
with the Father—
Jesus Christ
, the Righteous One.”
- New International Version
WHERE in the Bible does it say to go to a priest to have your sins absolved? NOWHERE!
Where
does
a
priest
get
the
authority
to
do
that
from?
NOT
in
the
Bible!
No,
a
priest
is
given
this
authority
from
mortal
man,
NOT
Christ
at
all.
Besides,
does
the
priest
believe
in
everlasting
condemnation?
YES
.
See,
fallible
as
he
also
is,
what
does
a
priest
know
about
one’s
inner
being
and
inner
struggles?
Nothing!
But
Christ
knows
everyone
of
us
not
only
in
totality,
but
also
with
a
compassion
impossible
to
comprehend.
Every
tear
of
us
rolling
down
His
Fatherly
chest
releases
pain,
making
room
for
calm.
Christ
is
only
a
thought
away.
Nowhere
else
on
this
planet
does
one
feel
so
secure
and
at
home
as
in
His
arms!
We
can
go
to
Him
for
ANYTHING,
without
having
to
recite
any
pre-written
prayers
from
someone
else.
We
can
just
talk
to
Him,
EVEN
be
angry
at
Him,
EVEN
shouting
at
Him.
All
He
wants
is
for
us
to
come
to
Him
just
as
we are. NO pretence!
Let us pause for a moment at the VATICAN in ROME
Do you not see the VATICAN WOOD for its trees?
(Vatican, seat of the Roman Catholic Church)
Either you see it and just ignore it, or you don’t see it at all To cut to the chase…
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IS DIVIDED!
It’s
of
NO
use
going
through
all
the
trouble
of
scrutinizing
its
bulky
Catechism
with
all
its
subdivisions.
See,
NONE
of
all
that
is
encapsulated
in
that
document
holds
any
water
,
simply
because
ANY
catechism
that
cannot
keep
its
followers
in
unity
is
stripped
from
all
credibility.
It
only
takes
one
tiny
drop
of
lethal
poison
to
make
a
delicious
cake
deadly.
And
what
IS
this
tiny
drop
with
its
global
toxicity
?
THE
LIE
around
Christ’s
atoning
Blood
!
The
LIE
of
everlasting
damnation
!
The
Catholic
church
is
deeply
divided
and
known
for
its
schisms.
Besides,
what
is
a
catechism
in
any
case
other
that
a
manmade
instructional
document,
comprising
of
a
series
of
questions,
answers,
or
precepts?
Is
man
fallible?
YES
!
Is
Satan
fallible?
Of
course
.
Is
Jesus
Christ
fallible?
NO
,
NEVER
!
Christ
inspired
the
Bible,
but
His
Word
fell
into the hands of bias scribes!
What about ALL the Protestant churches?
Same story carried forward
Do you not ALSO see the PROTESTANT WOOD for its trees?
With its 30,000+ denominations?
DIV IDED big time
And
their
Catechisms,
what
global
drop
of
lethality
do
they
have
in
common
with
that
of
the
Vatican?
The
SAME
dividing
lethal
LIE
of
everlasting
damnation
of
course,
carried
forward
regardless,
ever
since
the
inquisition!
And
their
scribes,
what
did
THEY
do
in
the
name
of
hermeneutics!
No
use
for
the
pot
calling
the
kettle
black.
BOTH
are
BLACK
!
BOTH
are
in
DARKNESS
and
BOTH
play
a
BIG
part
in
God’s
Holy
Plan!
The
Bible
is
crystal
clear
that
the
WHOLE
world
will
be
deceived by Satan, the
father of lies
.
SO,
are these two organizations accountable?
NO!
ONLY God is accountable, and therefore CHRIST!
Isaiah 45:7
“I
form
the
light,
and
create
darkness,
I
make
peace
,
and
create
evil
:
I
the
Lord
that
do
all
these
things.”
- Douay-Rheims Bible
However, Jesus Christ HAS already paid in FULL for ALL the evil He
was accountable for! Jesus Christ has settled the bill at Golgotha!
Yes,
Christ
has
declared
ALL
holy
,
as
is
reflected
in
Colossians 1:22
above,
JUST
as
He
has
declared
the
unbeliever
ALSO
righteous,
thus
HOLY,
with
His
death.
Fact
remains,
irrespective
of
being
declared
holy
by
Christ
does
NOT
mean
that
the
one
NOT
believing
in
His
universal-
and
UNLIMITED
atonement
for
all
humanity,
is
off
the
hook.
A
FAR
cry
from
it.
Not
believing
it
makes
one
an
UNBELIEVER!
And
what
does
this
in
effect
mean?
The
Roman
Catholics
(Pope
included
of
course)
and
all
the
Protestants
believing
the
lie
of
eternal
damnation
are
ALL
UNBELIEVERS
!
This
has
an
utterly-painful
implication
on
the
day
of
judgement,
where
Christ
will
have
THEM
set
the
record
straight
for
the
most
abominable
trespass they fell prey to by Satan, ruler of the world.
Hebrews 10:9
“How
much
more
severely
do
you
think
one
deserves
to
be
punished
who
has
trampled
on
the
Son
of
God
,
profaned
the
blood
of
the
covenant
that
sanctified
him,
and
insulted
the
Spirit
of grace?”
- Berean Standard Bible
This then being reason enough to address the
church with its exhibits of ‘UNHOLY BEHAVIOUR’
Starting with the scribes…
Holiness has NO room for falseness
What did Jeremiah say about scribes?
Jeremiah 8:8
““’How
can
you
say,
“
We
are
wise,
for
we
have
the
law
of
the
LORD
,”
when
actually
the
lying
pen of the scribes has handled it falsely
?”
- New International Version
And Solomon’s response to Jeremiah?
Ecclesiastes 1:9
“What
has
been
will
be
again,
what
has
been
done
will
be
done
again
;
there
is
nothing
new
under the sun.”
- New International Version
Let’s
talk
about
INTERPOLATION
.
Matthew 24:36
for
instance.
Please
check
the
discrepancy
within
different
Bible
versions
around
the
“,
nor
the
son
,”
(GREEK
–
“,οὐδὲ
ὁ
Υἱός,”
).
See
the
ones
left
out
and
the
ones
added.
OF
COURSE
Jesus
knows
the
hour!
Besides,
Jesus
is
the
FATHER
too
(
Isaiah 9:6
)!
There
is
NO
consensus
here.
So
then,
what
is
the
chance
that
this
phrase
was
indeed
added?
100%!
And
the
rationale
for
such
addition?
How
about
deliberately
having
degraded Jesus as a subordinate?
Another
example
is
1 Corinthians 14:34-35
.
please
see
what
Philip
Barton
Payne
has
to
say
about
the
divergent
positioning
of
these
two
verses,
either
after
1 Corinthians 14:33
,
or
after
1 Corinthians 14:40
.
This
is
VERY
significant,
taken
into
account
the
male
dominance
in
the
Vatican,
the
whole
Catholic
church
for
that
matter,
excluding
women
in
the
hierarchy,
as
they
are
clearly
regarded
as
being
inferior
and
NOT
to
be
seen,
let
alone
heard.
And
what
about
hermeneutics,
the
lots
of
added
modal
auxiliary
verbs,
like
“might”,
seeding
doubt,
especially
when
it
comes
to
the
salvation of man?
Dividedness of the church(es)
What causes dividedness?
The ego
Proverbs 16:18
“Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”
- New International Version
What did Jesus say about a divided church?
Mark 3:25-26
“
25
If
a
house
is
divided
against
itself
,
that
house
cannot
stand
.
26
And
if
Satan
opposes
himself
and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come.”
- New International Version
Any
house
needs
a
cornerstone
as
first
foundational
stone
for
stability,
as
this
building
block
sets
the
direction
of
the
rest
of
the
construction.
This
very
principle
applies
to
any
organization,
or
system.
It
ALSO
applies
to
any
group
of
people
that
functions
as
a
whole
towards
a
common
goal
and
for
the
goal
to
materialise
harmony
amongst
all
members
of
the
group
is
imperative.
If
the
symbolic
cornerstone
of
any
Christian
congregation
is
NOT
the
Christ
whose
Blood
has
already
saved
ALL
humanity,
then
that
congregation
is
inevitably
prone
to
be
dismantled,
because
of
disharmony,
which
is EXACTLY what is happening to this day with the over 30,000 denominations!
Division
is
all
over
the
show
and
when
I
say
“show”
I
mean
“
SHOW
”!
What
else
is
the
church
other
than
a
SHOW,
depicting
hierarchical
division
?
ALL
other
so-called
organised
‘Christian’
churches
for
that
matter
too!
And
what
has
these ‘
SHOWS
’ of theirs to do with
HOLINESS
?
NOTHING
! Was Jesus ever giving a show to be seen?
NO
!
Jesus Christ is HOLY, without a show
But, let’s see what the churches’ ‘SHOWS’ look like
Exclusivity, male dominance, control,
fame, conceit, pomp, paganism and money
Exclusivity?
Romans 5:18
“Consequently,
just
as
one
trespass
resulted
in
condemnation
for
all
people,
so
also
one
righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people
.”
- New International Version
This
verse
speaks
for
itself.
Jesus
Christ’s
death
at
Golgotha
had
ALL
people
been
JUSTIFIED
.
Done
deal!
This
NULLIFIES
the
proclamation
of
exclusivity
from
both
the
Catholic
Churches
and
the
Protestant
churches.
Justification
included
ALL
humanity!
And,
by
the
way,
what
does
this
exclusivity
in
effect
mean
in
the
books
of
these
two
groups?
For
each
it
means
the sole admission into eternal life in heaven. How arrogant!
Male dominance?
Galatians 3:28
“There
is
neither
Jew
nor
Greek,
there
is
neither
slave
nor
free,
there
is
neither
male
and
female
; for you are
all one in Christ Jesus
.”
- Berean Literal Bible
Yet
again,
the
Bible
speaks
for
itself,
this
verse
being
no
exception
as
it
clearly
states
that
there
is
NO
GENDER
INEQUALITY
!
On
what
ground
is
male
dominance
justified
in
the
so-called
‘Christian’
church?
NO
ground
AT
ALL
!
Jesus
Christ
explicitly
came
to
earth
to
CHANGE
everything!
In
fact,
CHRIST
,
who
wrote
the
Bible,
uses
an
ex-Pharisee
(
Acts 23:6
)
of
masculine
gender,
Paul
of
course,
to
make
it
indisputably
clear
to
ALL
his
Galatian
fellow
believers
that
gender plays NO role
within
JESUS CHRIST
!
And Jesus Christ Himself, what did He think of gender?
Let’s see…
Matthew 12:47-49
“
47
Someone
told
him,
“
Your
mother
and
brothers
are
standing
outside,
wanting
to
speak
to
you.”
48
He
replied
to
him,
“
Who
is
my
mother
,
and
who
are
my
brothers
?”
49
Pointing
to
his
disciples
, he said, “
Here are my mother and my brothers
.”
- New International Version
Jesus
Christ
Himself
makes
it
clear
in
the
verse
above
that
gender
means
nothing
to
Him.
In
this
verse
it
also
shows
that
Jesus
did
NOT
regard
Mary
as
His
mother
at
all!
Jesus
even
regarded
Mary,
the
woman
through
whom
He
was
born,
as
His
figurative
BROTHER
!
With
regard
to
Himself,
Jesus
used
“brothers”
in
a
figurative
manner
and
did
NOT
regard
His
disciples
in
a
literally
capacity
at
all!
What
Greek
Strong’s
number
is
reflected
here
for
“
brothers
”?
It
is
# 80
–
adelphoi
(
ἀδελφοί
)
. Jesus’ followers were His family. Mary was part of His “
ἀδελφοί
”, His followers!
Another example of Jesus not having seen Joseph and
Mary as being His parents, despite His obedience to them
Luke 2:43-50
“
43
After
the
festival
was
over,
while
his
parents
were
returning
home,
the
boy
Jesus
stayed
behind
in
Jerusalem
,
but
they
were
unaware
of
it.
44
Thinking
he
was
in
their
company,
they
traveled
on
for
a
day.
Then
they
began
looking
for
him
among
their
relatives
and
friends.
45
When
they
did
not
find
him,
they
went
back
to
Jerusalem
to
look
for
him.
46
After
three
days
they
found
him
in
the
temple
courts
,
sitting
among
the
teachers,
listening
to
them
and
asking
them
questions.
47
Everyone
who
heard
him
was
amazed
at
his
understanding
and
his
answers.
48
When
his
parents
saw
him,
they
were
astonished.
His
mother
said
to
him
,
“
Son,
why
have
you
treated
us
like
this
?
Your
father
and
I
have
been
anxiously
searching
for
you
.”
49
“Why
were
you
searching
for
me?”
he
asked.
“
Didn’t
you
know
I
had
to
be
in
my
Father’s
house
?”
50
But they did not understand what he was saying to them.”
- New International Version
It’s
just
so
obvious
to
what
extent
scribes
interpret
“
ἀδελφοί
”
(brothers)
in
the
literal
manner,
only
to
suit
their
own
agenda
to
keep
male
dominance
alive
and
kicking
throughout
the
world!
Rhetoric
is
what
makes
that
happen
and
billions
have
blindly
fallen
for
this
neuromarketing
strategy
of
the
[predominantly
male]
clergy
members,
interpreting
the Bible in their self-centered fashion over centuries!
So let’s take this genderless boat further, still with Christ at the helm
How did Jesus address Mary?
“NOT “at”, but
“in”, please!
See #2711
JESUS
WHAT HOLINESS?
GOD’S Holiness? OR
MANMADE ‘Holiness’?
with its roots in HUMANISM and its focus on MAN
MANMADE ‘Holiness’
What
manmade
‘holiness‘
(in
the
so-called
‘Christian’
realm)
really
is,
is
a
MOCKERY
of
the
God
of
the
Bible,
a
FARCE
!
It’s
beyond
insanity
to
even
think
that
any
carnal
creature
can
mimic
the
Holiness
of
God
by
way
of
an
outer
appearance
of
any
sort?
It’s
downright
ridiculous,
let
alone
arrogance
in
its
highest
form.
Besides,
who
uses
every
opportunity
to
ridicule
CHRIST
, you think?
Satan
of course! He’s the ruler, fooling man!
John 14:30
“No
longer
will
I
speak
much
with
you;
for
the
ruler
of
this
world
comes,
and
in
Me
he
has
nothing.”
- Berean Literal Bible
It was God’s Plan, since the beginning, for Satan to deceive the world.
2 Corinthians 4:4
“The
god
of
this
age
has
blinded
the
minds
of
unbelievers
so
they
cannot
see
the
light
of
the
gospel of the glory
of Christ
, who is the image of God.”
- Berean Standard Bible
Why did God do this to the world?
To SUFFER, to SEEK Him, to anxiously GROPE for Him and to FIND Him!
The
interpretations
in
virtually
all
Bible
versions
of
the
verse
below
are
SO
incongruent,
saturated
with
deliberate
uncertainty
(e.
g.
“perhaps”,
“might”)
that
I
give
my
own
version
here,
transliterated
from
the
Westcott
&
Hort
1880
Greek
version:
Acts 17:27
“ζητεῖν
τὸν
θεὸν
εἰ
ἄρα
γε
ψηλαφήσειαν
αὐτὸν
καὶ
εὕροιεν,
καί
γε
οὐ
μακρὰν
ἀπὸ
ἑνὸς
ἑκάστου
ἡμῶν
ὑπάρχοντα.”
- Westcott & Hort 1880
Acts 17:27
“
seek
the
God
to
anxiously
indeed
grope
for
Him
and
find
[Him]
,
and
indeed
not
far
from
one
each of us
He is
.”
Our
world
today
totally
revolves
around
humanism
with
the
focus
upon
carnal
man,
NOT
around
Christ
,
who
is
not
only
the
image
of
God
,
but
also
God
Himself!
The
infiltration
of
humanism
is
the
brilliantly-successful
stunt
of
Satan,
feeding
on
the
ego
of
humans,
the
ego
being
such
an
easy
bait.
Satan
feeds
on
their
hunger
for
exclusivity
,
-for
personal
autonomy
,
-for
admiration
,
for
self-reliance
,
and
-for
the
power
of
self-determination.
Climbing
the
Babylonian
‘ladder’
of
actions
towards
‘
holiness
’
is
not
only
exciting
for
humans,
but
he
primarily
keeps
their
focus
fixed
on
themselves
! But, God will divert their focus on HIM, to have
Acts 17:27
fulfilled!
Jeremiah 51:53
“Even
if
Babylon
ascends
to
the
heavens
and
fortifies
her
lofty
stronghold
,
the
destroyers
I
send will come against her
,” declares the LORD.”
- Berean Standard Bible
In
humanistic
‘holiness’
there
is
no
room
for
grace
at
all,
only
for
the
self-empowered
attainment
of
that.
Contrary
to
that,
God’s
Holiness
is
ALL
about
GRACE
!
Attainment
of
GOD’s
Holiness
is
solely
by
way
of
accepting
God’s
hand-out
in
humbleness.
But,
prideful
as
humans
are,
it’s
too
much
of
a
tall
order
to
accept
God’s
Holiness
with
the
‘hat
in
the
hand’.
A
‘pat
on
the
back’
from
a
human
upon
embracing
humanitarian
works
is
much
more
appealing
than
being
invisible
.
Embracing
grace
has
no space
!
Matthew 6:3-4
“
3
“But
when
you
give
to
the
poor,
do
not
let
your
left
hand
know
what
your
right
hand
is
doing
,,
4
so
that
your
giving
will
be
in
secret
;
and
your
Father
who
sees
what
is
done
in
secret
will reward you
. ”
- NASB 1995
Matthew 6:6
“But
when
you
pray
,
go
into
your
room
,
close
the
door
and
pray
to
your
Father
,
who
is
unseen
. Then
your Father
, who sees what is done in secret,
will reward you
.”
- New International Version
True Christianity is NOT for sissies!
To
embrace
the
tangible
is
much
easier
than
to
embrace
what’s
not
seen,
not
felt
and
not
heard!
Therefore,
to
embrace
the
TRUE
CHRIST
and
to
TRUST
HIM
end-out
in
patience
is
too
tall
an
order
for
most,
unbearable
to
say
the
least.
That
is
why
the
FIRST
few
elect
(
Matthew 7:14
)
of
God
cries
out
to
Him
day
and
night
(
Luke 18:7
).
The
rest
of
the
elect
will
follow
suit
(
1 Corinthians 15:23
)
until
ALL
are
drawn
to
Christ
(
John 12:32
).
True
Christianity
is
NOT
for
the
coward,
however,
Christ’s
corrective
hand
of
fire
on
judgement
day
will
have
ALL
been
made
brave
and
worthy
citizens
of
His
Kingdom!
Revelation 21:8
““But
for
the
cowardly
and
unbelieving
and
abominable
and
murderers
and
immoral
persons
and
sorcerers
and
idolaters
and
all
liars,
their
part
will
be
in
the
lake
that
burns
with
fire
and
brimstone
, which is the second death.””
- NASB 1995
And the GOOD NEWS for ALL humanity?
GOD’S HOLINESS for ALL!
Adverb particle “ἄρα” that gives the
verb “grope” an extra sense of urgency
Christ
Himself!
