Jesus (pbuh) was a very devout
Jew. No Jew could ever raise a finger at him and say why do you
not observe the Sabbath? Why do you eat pork?
Indeed, it is the apostles of Jesus and not Jesus himself who
are depicted in the NT as violating the law. The Bible tells us
that Jesus (pbuh) departed never having eaten pork, never having
violated the Sabbath, divorce was disallowed except in adultery
during his lifetime, he followed the law of Moses
to the letter. However, Paul's dreams have now legalized for all
Christians that which Jesus (according to the Bible) died believing
in.
You will not find a single priest or evangelist who
tells his Christian followers "to enter heaven, only keep
the commandments" (as his "Lord" did). The vast
majority of Christians today do not refrain from eating pork
nor do they observe the Sabbath as their "Lord"
did, and died doing. There are so many differences between Christians
today and Jesus and his actions. Christians in general follow
the commandments of Paul and others who are given the power to
totally cancel out all of the commandments of both Moses
and Jesus, and no Christian has any reservations whatsoever. Christianity
is literally built around the premise that disciples of disciples,
have the power to cancel the commandments of their prophets and
even the law practiced by the alleged Son of God
himself.
Let us look at this matter a little closer. God commanded
the Jews to observe a very disciplined dietary regimen. This is
where the Jews get the word "Kosher" from. "Kosher"
refers to all food that it is permissible for a Jew to eat. Among
those food that God forbade upon all Jews was swine. For this
reason we find that Jesus (pbuh) considered pigs such filthy and
disgusting animals that not only did he never taste their flesh
(incidentally, Muslims also live out their lives never having
tasted a single swine), but he literally considered them so lowly
that they were only fit as garbage dumps for devils. In Matthew
8:31-32 we read
"So the devils besought him, saying, If thou
cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine And he
said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into
the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently
down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.."
However, shortly after Jesus' departure, Paul makes
lawful all of the creatures of the earth
"If any of them that believe not bid you [to a feast], and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake."
1 Corinthians 10:27
In one tragic moment, Jesus' lifetime of restraint
was casually swept under the carpet.
Many people believe that the vision of Peter found
in Acts was the primary factor in the cancellation of this fundamental
law of the Jews. However, Christian scholars today are well aware
that the writings of Paul are the oldest writings to be found
in the Bible. They were written between 50-60 AD while even the
four Gospels themselves were written decades later between 70-110
C.E. Secondly, the book of Acts (70-90 AD) although popularly
considered to have been written by Paul, is now recognized to
have been written by some unknown author(s) other than Paul but
who was/were sympathetic to his cause.
According to the Bible, Jesus (pbuh) spent his whole
life in strict adherence to the commandments of the law of Moses
(pbuh). He departed leaving his followers with the following words:
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 5:17-19
Paul's dreams, however, have broken commandments
right and left. There is so much of what Jesus (pbuh) did during
his lifetime that his followers have now totally neglected, not
because Jesus (pbuh) told them to break the commandments, but
because Paul would later tell them to break them upon the authority
of the visions he was receiving.
So, what we have concluded from the current view
of Jesus' master plan is the following:
1) Jesus (pbuh) lived among his people for thirty
three years showing them many miracles and teaching them to keep
the commandments of Moses, to observe the Sabbath,
to refrain from eating pork, to circumcise
their children, to fast with the Jews, to worship in the synagogues,
and so forth. He did not do this with his words alone but gave
them an example in his own actions. Whenever he
spoke about his miracles he claimed that he did them through "the
finger of God" and that
he "can of mine own self do nothing."
Whenever he spoke of worship he would say "worship the Father"
and not "worship me," "worship the Trinity,"
or "worship us." He also never said "I am a god."
The term "son of God" was used by his
people for many millennia before him to describe a devout servant
of God and applied in the Bible to many prophets before him and
even to common people. Further, God was understood by the people
of his time to be the "Father" of all those who love
him.
2) For three centuries after the departure of Jesus
(pbuh), his apostles and their followers (excluding Paul and his
followers) continued the tradition of Jesus (pbuh) as faithful
Jews and followers of the law of Moses (pbuh). They
practiced their worship in the synagogues of the Jews,
they visited the Temple daily, and for all intents and
purposes were indistinguishable from all other Jews except for
the fact that they affirmed that Jesus (pbuh) was the promised
Messiah, which many Jews did not (and still do not) accept. None
of these people, not even Paul, had ever heard of a "Trinity."
Jesus (pbuh) decided not to reveal his (and God's) "true"
nature until three centuries after his departure. He decided that
three centuries after his departure it would be time to come to
the church and give them divine "inspiration" to "insert"
verses in the Bible validating the "Trinity" (such as
1 John 5:7). These "inspired" revelations from Jesus
are documented by Christian historians to have been continuing
at least up till the fifteenth century CE (see above). Jesus also
"inspired" them to utterly destroy all Gospels written
before this fourth century which did not teach this "true"
nature of Jesus as being God. He further "inspired"
the church to utterly destroy all ancient manuscripts written
in the original Aramaic or Hebrew language of Jesus (pbuh) and
the apostles. He "inspired" them that the Greek and
Latin manuscripts would be amply sufficient. And finally, he "inspired"
them to launch a massive campaign of "inquiry" to "cleanse"
the earth of all remaining Unitarian Christians or convert them.
3) When Jesus (pbuh) departed, his followers continued
to faithfully follow his example and observe the laws of Moses.
Now Paul comes along and persecutes the followers of Jesus every
way he knows how. He admits that:
"For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it"
Galatians 1:13 (also see Acts 7:58-60, 8:1-3)
Now Jesus (pbuh) decides to bypass his apostles and
go directly to the worst persecutor of his followers on earth
in a "vision" and give him knowledge not available to
the apostles. Paul now reveals that God holds all of mankind responsible
for the sin of Adam (Romans 5:11-19, 1 Corinthians
15:22). God himself, however, claims long before Paul was ever
born that
"The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin"
Deuteronomy 24:16.
and "The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son"
Ezekiel 18:20
....etc.
4) Paul further revealed that Jesus came to him in
visions and told him to nullify the commandments of God which
he had spent thirty three years on earth upholding and teaching
his followers to observe, and that these commandments "decayeth,"
were ready to "vanish away," and were a "curse"
upon us. The only requirement in order to receive true salvation,
according to Paul, is to believe in the original sin and the atonement.
No actual work is necessary. This one belief is the only necessary
and sufficient condition. However, Jesus departed not only never
having violated the law of Moses but also having told
his people that "till heaven and earth pass"
whoever would dare to do so would be called "the least
in the kingdom of God." Jesus (pbuh) was claimed to have
been conditioned and prepared for "the atonement" from
the beginning of time, however, whenever he was asked about the
path to heaven he not only never mentioned any atonement but only
(repeatedly) told his followers to "keep the commandments."
Even when pressed for the path to perfection he
only told his followers to sell their belongings.
5) Jesus never in his life saw fit to write a single
inspired word. However, after he died, he started appearing to
countless people in their dreams and visions and commanding them
to write in his name and guiding their words. He did not see fit
to guide their hands from writing conflicting versions of the
same story (chapter two) since these contradictions were intended
to strengthen a Christian's faith.
6) Since the only course to salvation is to accept the sacrifice of Jesus (pbuh) and the law of Moses is worthless, therefore, God did not see fit to allow those born before Jesus (pbuh) including countless previous prophets to enter heaven, but rather allowed them to remain stained with the sin of Adam and gave them a very strict and disciplined law that was totally useless and could never relieve them of this hereditary stain. These people shall never receive true salvation. Only those after Jesus (pbuh) will receive true salvation (Romans 3:28...etc.).
