Chapter 10-Knowledge as dangerous |
|
| |
|
|
1. |
There was yet still another great challenge presented by Jesus through the importance of knowledge, of education and of personal spiritual connection with the divine.
|
|
2. |
The last thing the reigning Jewish High Priests wanted was for general members of the public, let alone Jews getting in contact with God. This would effectively by-pass their position as the gate-keepers of the divine.
|
|
3. |
However, the Nazarenes considered the message of Jesus, the content of his wisdom, the idea of expanding knowledge, of sharing wisdom was the paramount importance of the theology of Jesus the Messiah.
|
|
4. |
For this was the very goal and words that Jesus spoke and wished to be the legacy of his disciples and his brother James.
|
|
5. |
Therefore subverting the concept of knowledge was a primary focus of Paul and the House of Ananus.
|
|
6. |
Their message was beautifully simple- Christianity was to be a religion of absolute devotion, of blind faith, of distrust of complex theologies and secret meaning, of literal understanding, of rejection of knowledge, of hatred of wisdom.
|
|
7. |
More than that, the “sheep” who would follow this new religion needed to be fanatical about the protection of their blind ignorance and hatred towards anyone who presented knowledge, especially divine knowledge.
|
|
8. |
Jesus was now the lamb of God. Jesus was the first born of God.
|
|
9. |
God sacrificed his only child, a blood ritual, a blood sacrifice to the world.
|
|
10. |
He sacrificed his only child upon the altar of the cross because he so loved the world and so he could raise him up again on the third day.
|
|
11. |
Jesus, the son of God had conquered death and now judges both the living and the dead and only those who believe in him will be saved.
|
|
12. |
Jesus is the last divine messenger, in his words and his words only should a true believer place their faith.
|
|
13. |
All those who do not will be condemned to torment, to torture, to eternal pain and damnation, to a pit of fire, to their flesh being torn from their bodies again and again, forever.
|
|
14. |
But all those who show complete faith in him, who worship him shall never die and will be with him in heaven.
|
|
15. |
And believe, for Jesus will come again (sometime soon).
|
|
16. |
Now as simplistic and twisted as this revised theology may appear, it incorporates key elements that former openly satanic and demon worshippers would see. But instead of sacrificing their own sons, God has sacrificed his own.
|
|
17. |
This brand of Christianity was geared towards this ready made audience in the former exiled outposts of Israelites banished by Akhenaten all those years ago. The Jewish descended community in Spain, in northern Italy, in northern Africa, in Syria and in Briton were all immediately receptive to this message.
|
|
18. |
The return of Jesus also meant that the general ban on divine revelation could be indefinitely suspended so long as the timeframe were sufficiently long. At first it was only a few decades, then pushed to 1,000 years and then finally to 2,000 years.
|
|
19. |
Now the Christian hierarchies prefer not to speak of a specific date of return, but sometime “soon”. In the meantime, all claims of divine connection are repudiated as false hope and false statements.
|
|
20. |
The message of Paul was carefully crafted so that a true believer is one of blind faith, a person who hates divine wisdom and knowledge, for these are the enemies of the faith and risk one’s redemption.
