WHO LOVES JESUS?
This is to be examined with no motive for so doing. The work will be done by us together. There is no intent to prove anything right or wrong. We are together on this effort.
A combination of authority figures during the decline of the Roman Empire made a book called The Bible. In the Book were assembled portions of the teachings of a wandering saint in Judea concerning the important elements of a meaningful life for humans on Earth. Included in the book is a doctrine not spoken by Jesus of his sacrificial death to save us all from the eternal damnation that all of us are said to otherwise rightly deserve for our wicked ways.
Then, missionaries with book in hand were sent forth all across the Earth to convince those they corral that Jesus intended by submitting to a terrible death a guilt-ridden existence for those sinners he had spoken with concerning the way to some real heaven here and now; thus none of the eventual converts need ever put away selfish ways which was believed to be impossible anyway. And that makes one wonder why Jesus bothered to teach that we can make that change. And that we would be fools not to do so.
The teachings of Jesus set forth below are in the nature of attempts to needle a listener’s conditioned brain enough to allow a sudden glimpse of who a human actually is and “faith” mentioned in the teachings refers to an intuitive knowledge about who I am. It is not too far a jump to perceive the Master was telling that all humans are on his level and able to save ourselves if only we want to make the effort to do so.
The language about Jesus dying for your sins distorts in a big way the teachings about a way to enter heaven while alive and makes that practically impossible. This insight is very important to any serious examination into the value of his teachings on life. Where there is distortion there is a motive. Finding the motive will remove the distortion. Who is motivated to keep themselves in power?
Let us examine into the teaching concerning how to live on Earth as human beings and determine if it is possible for any human being to end, while alive, greed, lust, violence, fear, intolerance, envy, jealousy, false pride and the rest.
Keeping in mind that people of Earth are greatly suffering from what priests of all religions everywhere have called for tens of thousands of years at least by some word that means the same as the English term “sin” these planners have invented a religion (organized as part of a separate society) that insures most all slaves to sin never wake up. Though death will come to all, at that moment it is entirely “Too Late Nelly” and so the ruse never ends as one more meaningless life passes unfulfilled.
In developing the teachings attributed below to Christ a careful attempt was made to avoid duplication from each writer of the New Testament of the Bible but to cover the central message presented in all concerning an actual heaven on Earth to be enjoyed by living people. Matthew’s gospel is quoted primarily because it is first and is most simply written. What is stark is the absence of any teaching attributed to Christ where he says essentially, “oh, well, you people are incapable of being wise so I’ll just die for you and get you to heaven after your deaths in that manner. You just use my name.” That dogma, invented by that group of selfishly ambitious priests, historians, and politicians I mentioned up front, keeps the flock ignorant of their potential which Jesus, in his own words, obviously saw in people and stressed in an attempt to awaken listeners to a great power in each soul. Turn now to the teachings.
