Blessed is the womb

Posted on by

I heard about Santa when I was a little boy growing up in Southern Rhodesia. I also heard about the snow and the reindeer, etc. However, it was the middle of summer in our country, and I remember hearing people say it was “A 100 degrees in the shade.” (Fahrenheit).  Yet I heard about Santa, and the snow, and the reindeer, and the chimney, etc. Our chimney was too small for anyone to come down, and we never had any snow in our country, and we didn’t have any reindeer either! So it all felt like “fairy stories!”

Churches are also into all the “fairy stories.” There is no such word as “Christmas” in the Bible. That word may also be taking Christ’s name in vain, because Jesus never gave authority for his name to be used in that way. Jesus never gave authority for the use of his name in the word “Christian” either. In fact that is opposite to what Jesus taught. Jesus said: “Many shall come in my name saying ‘I am Christ’ and shall deceive many.” (Matthew 24:5). When I was a kid, I too was deceived. I read in the Bible that the disciples were called “Christians” first in Antioch, but some ‘unknown person’ is not a credible witness. (Acts 11:26). Jesus said: “By the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” (Matthew 18:16). King Agrippa used the word “Christian“ right in front of Paul, but Paul never used that word. (Acts 26:28). King Agrippa is not a reliable witness either. His ancestors tried to kill baby Jesus, they killed John the Baptist, they killed James, and wanted to kill Peter. Peter is the only disciple in the Bible to use that word “Christian,” and he uses it in connection with persecution. “If any man suffer as a ‘Christian’ let him not be ashamed, but glorify God on this behalf.” (1 Peter 4:16). Peter got beaten by the leaders of Israel for believing that Jesus was the Christ. (Acts chapter 5). He got imprisoned a few times, and Herod wanted to kill him. (Acts chapter 12). Peter said: “Love the brotherhood.” (1 Peter 2:17). Jesus means “Saviour” and Christ means “Messiah.” There is only ONE Saviour and ONE Messiah, and that is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Faith in that name can cause the lame to walk, and dance with joy! (Acts chapter 3). All my life, I have basically had three teachers: 1. Church people. 2. The Doctor of the Bible School. 3. The Holy Spirit. I choose to follow the Holy Spirit, even though church people get very angry with me at times. I don’t want to tell any lies to try and please people, I want to go to heaven one day! All liars are going to go to the lake of fire! (Revelation 21:8). There is also no such thing in the Bible as December the 25th. There is nothing in the Bible about the shepherds being with their sheep on a cold winter’s night. A Rabbi on the internet said that the sheep in Israel only have babies in the springtime.

I am of the opinion that Jesus was born in the springtime in Israel. Let me give you my reasons. In Exodus chapter 12, God himself told Moses that His New Year starts 14 days before Passover. Then one year later at Mount Sinai, in Arabia, (Galations 4:25), God told Moses he must erect the tabernacle on the first day of God’s New Year. (Exodus chapter 40).That was when the glory of God came down from heaven into the tabernacle. When Jesus got born, the angels sang: “Glory to God in the highest.” When Jesus got born, that is when the glory of God came down to earth in the form of a baby. “A body hast Thou prepared me.” (Hebrews 10:5). We met a preacher that went to heaven and back, and he said that Jesus was born at Passover, and died at Passover. I have never been to heaven and back, so I didn’t argue with him, but it was in the “springtime” that Jesus got born, not in the winter.

The Romans believed in the sun-god, and when the days got shorter in the winter, they thought that the sun-god was dying. So, 25th of December is the day of the re-birth of the sun-god according to Pope Gregory’s Calendar. Sun worship is death penalty in the Bible. (Deuteronomy  chapter 17). When the Israelites were in Egypt, God made the sun go dark, to show the Egyptians that the sun is not a god. (Exodus chapter 10).  So beloved, I urge you to follow the teachings of God as found in the Bible, and forget all the pagan stuff that comes out of Rome. Paul even wrote to the church in Rome and said to them: Be not conformed to the world (Rome), but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2).

Jesus told the religious leaders of his day that their traditions made the word of God of none effect. (Mark chapter 7). Most people seem to be very bound by their traditions. They make their traditions higher than the word of God. Beware. One day there will be a day of judgment. There are only two places to go: the new earth or the lake of fire. (Revelation chapter 21).

Searching for the Lost Scriptures

Posted on by

Here are some additional scriptures to those mentioned in my picture story, and I am quoting from the American King James Version, because apparently it is not copyrighted.

1. Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. (What scripture?)

2. Mark 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? (Writings of Enoch.)

3. Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (I wish we had that scripture lesson in our Bibles.)

4. John 2:22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. (Jesus talked about raising himself from the dead after 3 days. What scripture is that?)

5. Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. (Paul is quoting the words of Jesus from a different Bible.)

6. 1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (What scripture says that Jesus will rise from the dead on the third day? I read that in ‘The ascension of Isaiah, page 522’ from ‘The Other Bible.’ In Psalm 16:10 it says: “For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” But it says nothing about rising from the dead on the third day.)

7. James 4:5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? (I looked in my son’s Dake’s Bible, and he said that he doesn’t know what scripture James is talking about.)

8. Revelation 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. (I am curious about those 4 angels. We don’t read anything about that elsewhere in our Bibles.)

Rich man and Lazarus. Luke 16:19-31. Jesus tells the story of the underworld where there are flames on one side, and on the other there is peace. Enoch mentions that in his writings.

John 1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. (Jesus said these words to Nathanael, but we have no record in our Bibles of Nathanael seeing that.)

In the First Book of Enoch he refers to Jesus as the Son of man about 8 times I think. Once he calls him the Son of a woman. In the Book of Mark, Jesus always refers to himself as the Son of man.

I seem to recall in the writings of Enoch that he uses the word:”Godhead.”

Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (That is in the writings of Enoch as well.)

Almost 40 years ago I read part of a Third Book of Enoch in a library in North York.

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

Luke mentions that many people wrote about Jesus, but we only have two gospels before Luke in our Bibles. I have a fragment of the Gospel of Peter. Then there is also the Gospel of Nicodemus, that I think should be in our Bibles, but it seems like everybody follows Constantine as if he is God himself.  There is also a Gospel of Thomas, but it is reported to be Gnostic. One interesting thing is that Thomas said that the sheep that went astray was the biggest sheep. I always thought of it as a little lamb, because when I was a little boy, I saw a beautiful painting of Jesus carrying a little lamb on the side of a rugged mountain. I knew a minister once who went astray, and he turned against me, and left the church. Many years later when I spoke to his first wife, she told me that he had now been married six times. He was a big sheep. Once I knew an evangelist that came against me when I was singing on TV. Many years later I spoke to his first wife, and she was very angry that he had left her. When I last saw him, he had a third wife. He was a big sheep.

Colossians 4:16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.

About 25 years ago I was invited to speak at a church, and I read Paul’s letter to the church in Laodicea, which I had in my ancient writings. The next week a man was shouting in my face that I don’t agree with the cannon of scripture. So I guess he is following Constantine, but I am following Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Addition

I am going to mention something else here that I think is worth noting. Here are two scriptures where Jesus talks about all the innocent blood that has been shed, right from the first murder of Abel the son of Adam, up until Zacharias the son of Barachias.

“That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.” (Matthew 23:25).

“From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation. (Luke 11:51).

When I studied Theology, I was taught that Jesus was referring to the Zacharias mentioned in 2 Chronicles 24:20-21, but that is a different Zacharias. That Zaharias was the son of the high priest Jehoiada.

20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also forsaken you. (2 Chr. 24:20).

21 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the Lord. (2 Chr. 24:21).

In the book of Zechariah 1:1, he calls himself “Zechariah, the son of Berechiah.” So maybe Jesus is referring to ‘that Zacharias.’ He was one of the last prophets in the Old Testament.

On the other hand, Jesus may be referring to John the Baptist’s dad, who was the high priest Zacharias. I read in ‘The lost books of the Bible’ the writing called The Protevangelion, chapter 16, how Herod’s soldiers killed him in the temple, because he wouldn’t tell them where his son was. Elizabeth had taken baby John and fled into the wilderness. So John grew up in the wilderness.

Jesus said: “Whom yeslew between the temple and the altar.” Jesus may have been addressing the people in front of him, who killed Zacharias, in which case he must have been referring to John the Baptist’s dad. Anyway, that is my theory! So God’s punishment came on that generation, and the Romans scattered them for almost 2,000 years.

Beginning and ending

Posted on by

Dear friends, I like to base my faith on what is written in the scriptures. I believe that Jesus is the God of beginnings and endings, as he mentions 3 times in the Book of Revelation. I grew up in a church that believed that the Roman idol Janus (January) was the god of beginnings and endings. No offence meant, but I would rather stick with Jesus.
