Jesus criticizes the priesthood

When men become afraid of God, and take him for a foe, they dress up other men in fancy garbs and call them priests.
And charge them to restrain the wrath of God by prayers; and when they fail to win his favour by their prayers, to buy him off with sacrifice of animal or bird.

When man sees God as one with him, he needs no middle man, no priest to intercede.
He goes straight up to God and says, my God! And then he lays his hand in God's own hand and all is well.
And this is God. You are each one, a priest, just for yourselves; and sacrifice of blood God does not want.
Just give your life in sacrificial service to the all of life, and God is pleased. ~ Jesus the Christ

Where is the kingdom of God/heaven?

The kingdom of God (heaven) is not far away; and it is not a place of metes and bounds, it is not a country to be reached; it is a state of mind. But man with mortal eyes can see it not; it is within the heart.
Now, cease to seek for heaven in the sky; just open up the windows of your hearts, and like a flood of light, a heaven will come and bring a boundless joy.

Where is the King?

You need not seek the king in earth, or sea, or sky; he is not there, and yet everywhere. He is the Christ of God; is universal love.
The gate of this dominion is not high, and he who enters it must fall down on his knees. It is not wide, and none can carry carnal bundles through. The lower self must be transmuted into spirit-self; and the body must be washed into living streams of purity. You are yourself a king, and you may enter through the gate and be a subject of the King of kings. ~ Jesus the Christ

Behold the sun! It manifests the power of God who speaks through sun and moon and stars;
Through mountain, hill, and vale; through flower, and plant, and tree.

God sings for us through bird, and harpsichord, and human voice; he speaks to us through wind and rain and thunder roll; why should we not bow down and worship at his feet?

God speaks to hearts apart; and hearts apart must speak to him. This is prayer.

It is not prayer to shout at God, to stand or sit or kneel and tell him about the sins of men.
It is not prayer to tell the Holy One how great he is, how good he is, how strong and passionate he is.

In wo/men, he saw an opportunity to bring brotherhood and sisterhood. In despair, he saw an opportunity to bring joy. In death, he saw an opportunity to bring life. In temptation, he saw an opportunity to bring victory.

And, he did not stop there, he sought to bring brotherhood and sisterhood, joy, life and victory to all wo/mankind in his own generation and to all eternity.

(1) I am Almighty God and you shall have no God but me

MEANING: There is one force, but many phases of that force. These phases men call powers.
All powers are of God, and they are manifests of God. They are the spirits of the God.

(2) Thou shall not make for yourselves a graven image

MEANING: And finite man cannot comprehend infinite things. Man cannot make an image of the Infinite force. And when men make a God of stone or wood or clay, they make an image of a shade; and they who worship at the shrine of the shades are shades. So God in mercy said, you shall not carve out images of wood or clay or stone. Such idols are ideals, abased ideals, and men can gain no higher plane than their ideals. The God is Spirit, and in spirit men must worship if they would attain a consciousness of God.

(3) Thou shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain

MEANING: The name of God man may not speak with carnal lips. With Holy Breath alone can man pronounce the name. In vanity men think they know the name of God. They speak it lightly and irreverently, and thus they are accursed. But God in mercy has not yet unveiled his name to those who cannot speak it with Holy Breath. But they who speak the substitute in idle way are guilty in the sight of God.

(4) Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy

(5) Pay homage to your Father and your Mother of the race that your days may be prolonged upon the land that they have given you

MEANING: God is not force alone; for wisdom is his counterpart. When cherubim instructed man in wisdom's way they said that wisdom is the mother of the race, as force is the father of the race. The man who honors the almighty and omniscient God is blessed.

(6) Thou shall not kill

(7) Thou shall not commit adultery

The law forbids adultery; but in the eyes of law of men, adultery is an overt act, the satisfaction of the sensuous self outside of marriage bonds. Now, marriage in the sight of law is but a promise made by man and woman, by the sanction of a priest, to live for aye in harmony and love. No priest nor officer has power from God to bind two souls in wedded love.

What is the marriage tie? Is it comprised in what a priest or officer may say? Is it the scroll on which the officer or priest has written the permission for the two to live in marriage bonds? Is it the promise of the two that they will love each other until death?

Is love a passion that is subject to the will of man? Can man pick up his love , as he would pick up precious gems, and lay it down or give it out to any one? Can love be bought and sold like sheep?

Love is the power of God that binds two souls and make them one. There is no power on earth that can dissolve this bond. The bodies may be forced apart by man or death for just a little time; but they will meet again. Now, in this bond of God we find the marriage tie. All other unions are but bonds of straw, and they who live in them commit adultery. The same as they who satisfy their lust without the sanction of an officer or priest.
Whom God has joined together man cannot part; whom man has joined together live in sin.

[ February 01, 2002: Message edited by: Amanda Wekson ]

MEANING: He in his heart desires to possess that which is not his own, and would deprive the owner of the thing without knowledge or consent, is in the sight of God, a thief. The things that men see not with eyes of flesh are more worth than the things that man can see.

The spiritual aspect of the ninth Commandment

(9) The law said: Thou shall not lie

But in the eyes of law a man to lie must tell in words what is not true.
Now in the light of spirit law, deceit in any form is nothing but a lie. A man may lie by look or act; yea, even by his silence may deceive, and thus be guilty in the eyes of the Holy Breath.

(10) Thou shall not covet anything

I’m pleased that through my thread on the Ministry of Jesus the Christ, you are positively touched. That’s the intention. Like you remarked, there are many parts of me that are not seen or known. I’m not even sure that some of those facets of me, I want manifest, yet. However, one characteristic of mine that is steadfast in all I do is the fervent passion I apply in whatever I do.

Actually, I’m a spiritualist rather than a Christian. On the issue of Biafra actualization, Nigeria and their underlying politics, I believe that mutual respect, autonomy, and stability can be reached through the right rules of engagement. I also believe that the love of Christ is demonstrated in my views and conviction toward the issues affecting Biafra and the solution(s) to them.

A lot has been written and said about the ministry of Jesus, the Christ in New Testament. Often times, his sayings have been quoted out of contest or outrightly misinterpreted by pastors, religious leaders, and lay people. If his teachings had been grasped as he intended, numerous atrocities still practiced and upheld by these Christian religionist in guise of tradition would be non-existent. On this thread therefore, it is my intent to bring to light some of the sayings and interpretation made by Jesus which are not found in the present day bible.

---

Amanda,
My question, This out of contest, with outright misinterpretations of our Lord Jesus sayings by the above mentioned, are they from the present day Bible or, the Non-Canonical books from which you quoted?

You said Jesus criticizes the Priesthood.
God eternally ordains priesthood, and not Man made. The Lord instructed Moses to anoint Aaron with his sons so that they could minister to him in the priest’s office, for their anointing shall be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations. (Exodus.40: 15) Just to mention a few.

Warning From The Most High

For I testify unto every Man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book; If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city and from the things which are written in this book. He, which testifieth these things, saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Amanda, the Ancient of Days sealed his word (Bible) with this warning let us be careful. Revelation.22: 18-20.
Paul, said for we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord: and again the Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (Hebrew.10: 30-31) Quoting from Apocryphal or Non-Canonical books could be dangerous.

You know not what you are saying.

I ask you, who wrote the old and new testaments of the bible?
In your own understanding, what are non-canonic books? Who wrote these so called books?
What do you think are the reason why these books are written?

Before you put your foot further into your mouth, I suggest that you read and acquaint yourself with this book: The Acquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ by LEVI. It will do you a world of good to read and comprehend this book before you proceed with your new found words like out of contest, outright misinterpretations of our Lord Jesus sayings by the above mentioned, etc. I have other books that I can recommend for you, if you are genuinely in need of spiritual enlightenment. For now, the Acquarian gospel is a good place to start.

That you actually are ignorant of the blatancy of Jesus’ unwavering criticism of the priesthood is an indictment for your lack of knowledge of Jesus ministry even as it is in the new testament bible you purport to possess and read. I suggest you re-read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
When you are done with them, come again.

If you ever get around to getting hold of the Acquarian gospel of Jesus the Christ, please proceed to Chapter 28, verses 20 through 25. Mr Thomas, perhaps you’d believe.

The Exodus you conveniently quoted is interesting. I didn’t know that in your kind of bible, Jesus the Christ was ministering during the old testament era that he ” instructed Moses to anoint Aaron with his sons so that they could minister to him in the priest’s office, for their anointing shall be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations,” You seem not to have known that Jesus the Christ said that he came to loosen the chains of bondage for people enslaved by traditions of men in order to set them free. When I get a chance, we will explore the degenerative actions of people in priesthood that Jesus found repulsive. You can find them in the four books of the new testament that I mentioned above.

Food For Thought

The approach and analysis you have adopted go beyond the mere emotionalism we Africans adopt in spiritual and secular matters. As painful as it may sound, generally speaking, Africans are not your typical rational begins. We are high on emotion, low on reason!. The African-mind has not yet being adequately prepared and trained to cope with the several "ism" that affect our lives so very profoundly.

Let us take a look at Nigeria, nearly everybody claims to be God-fearing and God-believing. Yet, the striking contradiction we find in everyday life is numbing.

The only way to explain this contradiction is to look at the process of human development in the area called Nigeria. Similar to most of black Africa, the belief in religion travels through the emotional state and stops there. There is usually no depth! No proper enquiry !! No real conviction!!!

This behavoural pattern is replicated in other spheres of human endeavour (within that area called Nigeria). Hence, we face monumental challenges in regenerating communities in black Africa.

Spiritually, we need to start with our individual selves and work outwards. And, finally, we should arrive at: peace, love, joy, equity and fairness, justice, harmony, progress, properity, self knowledge and freedom which are amongst the common universally held values.

As part of humanity, we all have similar needs, we breath the same air, we all have fears, we all are fragile, we share time and space and ought to find a rational basis to share the abundant resources God has blessed us all with.

Your insight is encouraging. Knowledge, they say, is power.

By convincing people that God was seperate from the physical world, the religious leaders unwittingly laid the foundation for the modern world. A world believed to be mechanical and determined, and in which God is perceived as a remote and impersonal creator. People came to atribute their sense of powerlessness not so much to their sinful nature, but due to their insignificance in such a world.

The ministry of Jesus was an attempt to help us understand the severing of our connection with the sacred. It teaches us the damaging slavery of it all: the control of people thru dictating and containing of spirituality. This ignored part of his teachings illuminates the ideas and beliefs that foster the denigration of human rights, the intolerance of difference, and the desecration of our natural environment.

No man lives unto himself; for every living thing is bound by cords to every other living thing.
Blest are the pure in heart for they will love and not demand love in return. They would not do unto other men what they would not have other men do unto them.

There are two self(s); the higher and lower self. The higher self is human spirit clothed with soul, made in the form of God.
The lower self is the carnal self, body of desires, and a reflection of the higher self distorted by the murky ethers of the flesh. The lower self is an illusion and will pass away. The higher self is God in man and will not pass away. The higher self is the embodiment of truth; the lower self is truth reversedand becomes falsehood manifest.

The higher self is justice, mercy, love and right. The lower self breeds hatred, slander, lewdness, murder, theft, and everything that harms. The higher self is mother of the virtues and the harmonies of life.
The lower self is rich in promises, but poor in blessedness and peace. It offers pleasure, joy, and satisfying gains, but gives unrest and misery and death.

If you ask me what to study I would say, yourselves; and when you well had studied them, and then would ask me what to study next, I would reply, yourselves. He who knows well his lower self, knows the illusions of the world, knows of the things that pass away; and he who know his higher self, knows God, and the things that cannot pass away.

Amanda.

Good questions Amanda.I believe you are one of the lower critics of the Bible. The lower critics are better than the higher cause, the lower criticizes to learn and embrace the truth. The higher are hostile to the scriptures and the faith. They reject most issues and reports of the Bible as fictitious or offer corrections to the Scripture.

Your question who wrote the old and New Testament of the Bible? I want to
remind you that God is the conceiver, giver and inspirer of the Bible. The thoughts, Concepts and expressions in the Bible are God’s. The Lord achieved this communication using human beings to write down his express word and instructions, as a message to the generality of mankind. God’s word was meant for all men in every age or dispensation. 2 Peter 1:21 says, For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, All Scriptures is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for corrections, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Hello, this divine authorship makes the Bible’s word s both timeless and always credible. The ultimate proof that the Bible is God’s word to man is that he backs it up always Isaiah 55:11. Read this yourself.

• Moses: the man whom God spoke “mouth to mouth” even apparent, and not in dark speeches wrote the first five books of the Bible called the Pentateuch or Law of Moses. Jewish name is Torah (Law) Numbers 12:8.
  
• Prophets: The major and Minor Prophets. Most books written by Prophets were generally named after such Prophets for instance, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel etc.
  
• Righteous Kings and National leaders: David, Solomon, Joshua, Nehemiah etc.
  
• Teachers & Priests: Ezra, Agur, Lemuel, Sons of Asaph, etc.

I ask you, who wrote the old and new testaments of the bible?

Glad, you now know those who wrote the Old Testament.
The Apostles wrote majority of the New Testament Scriptures with few exemptions like Luke’s gospel, which was written by an immediate follower of one protagonist among them. Considering the Majesty of the office of an Apostle, we could see that these men were put or ordained along with the Old Testament Prophets for the special privilege of being God’s mouthpiece. They were witnesses of Christ’s teachings, passion, and his resurrection Act’s 1:22. The Lord promised that his Sprit would reveal to them God’s word. It is possible, moreover that the Apostles had taken some notes of Jesus messages. Whether this was the case or not, the Holy Ghost was specifically promised to give them a remembrance of the gospel story. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come John.16: 13. Beloved of God Amanda needs more evidence?

In your own understanding, what are non-canonic books? Who wrote these so called books? What do you think are the reason why these books are written?

The word “Canon” has many meanings or could be seen in different perspectives. It could mean Church Decree or Church Law. It would be defined as general standard or Principles by which the genuineness of sacred book of Christians is judged. It is also defined as a measuring rod: originally the word is derived from Greek word which means Standard or rule.

• Therefore non-canonic books are those that are not of divine origin or inspiration for purposes of doctrine as laid out in 2 Timothy 3:16. These books are not in the Jewish Tanakh either.
  
• Jesus never quoted them, never referred to them, or even alluded to them and neither did any of the Apostles.
  
• Most of the early Church fathers considered them uninspired.
  
• They were not included in the ancient Hebrew canon.
  
• The inferior quality of most of the writings as compared to other Bible books made them unworthy for a place in the Sacred Scriptures.

  Who wrote these so called books? What do you think are the reason why these books are written?

  Time will fail me to mention the authors, but in the old testament collection of books we have about eleven to sixteen with others in the New testament like Epistle of Barnabas, the Shepherd of Hermes etc. After the death of the life witnesses (disciples) of our Lord Jesus Christ’s earthly ministry and, that of their immediate followers, many writings were being presented to the Church as divine instructions which the Apostolic fathers saw as being uninspired. Friends and loyalties to the authors of those writings were agitating for the acceptability of them by the Church. The early fathers envisaged the confusion, heresy and problems this would cause and held some numbers of synods between 394 A.D (in Hippo Regins) and 279 A.D (in Cartage) in North Africa, under the leadership of Augustine in order to make the present canon, on the New testament official. The Church in both the East and West followed the African example. What made any books or writings acceptable include:
  

• Apostolicity: meaning such books must have been written by the Apostles of Jesus Christ or immediate and close associates of them.
  
• Inspiration: The Holy Spirit is the divine instructor and guardian to the Church activities; It witnesses to the approved steps taken by Church leaders by Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church. Hence the Church relied solely on illuminating influence of the Holy Spirit on whether a book has God as his author or not. This
  is one of the gifts of any Holy Spirit filled Christian.
  
• Long Term of usage: the canon required nearly three hundred years of the use of any writing that was to be accepted for instructions by the Church. This means that any writing to be accepted must have been written and used as from the early second century of the birth of the Church.

Incidentally the taking of Palestine from the Canaanites by the Jews is the pivotal theme of the Old Testament--the Hebrews' quest for a land of their own.
Around 332 B.C. Alexander took Palestine away from the Jews, who had initially taken it away from the Canaanites.

Amanda, the Old Testament is largely a record of God’s dealings with the Hebrew people and the revelations of his will to them and through them to the whole race, whereby, he binds himself to take into New and Special relationship all who obey his will. And not as you quoted above.

Amanda,
Food For Thought

Test your doctrine by the full context of the infallible word of God. Doctrine, Received, Believed, and Practised determine a person’s character, behavior, and destiny.

You said, " I'm a born again Christian, redeemed with the blood, filled by the Holy Spirit."

Please explain to me in details what you mean by the above statement. What are the things that make you a Christian. How are you "born again"? Pretend that I am a person who knows nothing about your Christianity; break it down to me with specific personal examples.

Let's explore Orthodox Christianity and the Writers of the New Testament.

Before we proceed, here's my observation of you.
The dogma you have been fed is called Orthodox Christianity, which has evident seeds of tyranny in its ideology of Godship.
I think you have been programmed to build a wall around yourself and see nothing on the other side of it. You do not know that flowers are blooming over there; that sowing time and reaping time belongs to anybody but the orthodoxy.
It surely will be well if we break this barrier down so that the orthodoxy might see that God has other children that are just as greatly blest.

The dark side of Christianity

Orthodox Christianity is embedded in the belief of a singular, solely masculine, authoritarian God who demands unquestionable obedience and who mercilessly punishes dissent. Orthodox Christians believe that fear is essential to sustain what they perceive to be a divinely ordained hierarchical order in which a celestial God reigns singularly at a pinnacle far removed from the earth and all mankind. The Church founded by these, has attempted to control, contain, and confine spirituality, the relation between an individual and God. Persecuting those who do not conform, however, require the Church to clarify its own doctrine and ideology, to define exactly what was heresy and what was not. In doing so, the Church consistently chose tenets and ideologies that best supported its control over the individual and society.

Who wrote the New Testament?

Orthodox Christians assembled the Bible, not to bring all the gospels together, rather to encourage uniformity. From the plethora of the Apostles' gospels, Bishop Iranaeus compiled the first list of biblical writings that resemble today's New Testament around 180 C.E. By 393 and 397, Bishop Athanasius had a similar list ratified by the Church councils of Hippo and Carthage. By prohibiting and burning any other writings, the Catholic Church eventually gave the impression that this Bible and its four canonized Gospels represented the only original Christian view. Yet as late as 450, Theodore of Cyrrhus said that there were at least 200 different gospels circulating in his own diocese. Even the Catholic Encyclopedia now admits that the "idea of a complete and clear-cut canon of the New Testament existing from the beginning… has no foundation in history." The Catholic Encyclopedia has conceded that "In all departments forgery and interpolation as well as ignorance had wrought mischief on a grand scale."

Despite Church prohibitions against further research into the origins of the Gospels, scholars have shown that all "canonized" Gospels have been doctored and revised. While the Church claimed that the truth was static in nature and have been revealed only once, it continually found cause for changing that truth. So much for your "... these men were put or ordained along with the Old Testament Prophets for the special privilege of being God's mouthpiece. They were witnesses of Christ's teachings, passion, and his resurrection, and... the Holy Ghost was specifically promised to give them a remembrance of the gospel story."

Note:

There are two classes of sons of men. (1) Those who would build the human race upon the sure foundation of stones of justice, truth, equality, and right. (2) And they who would destroy the holy temple where the Spirit dwells (not the Church) and bring their fellows down to beggary and crime.

In your own words, " Test your doctrine by the full context of the infallible word of God. Doctrine, Received, Believed, and Practised determine a person's character, behavior, and destiny."

Sadly, you have been indoctrinated by the Church to believe that God has chosen a few people (preferably your church denominational members) to whom He will give bliss and salvation. That it is for these few that Christ came into the world. However, know that God scatters His/Her blessings with a lavish hand; and He/She is not kinder to one than another one of all the creatures of His/Her hand. The Jew, the Greek, the Samaritan are all equal in His/Her sight.

Let’s take a look at the origin of the Old Testament, shall we?

The Old Testament

In the text called THE ABODE OF THE BLESSED, there’s a major treatise called “BOOK OF THE KNOWING THE EVOLUTION OF RA.” This work existed at least more than 6,000 years before the Hebrew Torah (Old Testament of the Christians or FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES). There, it is shown where Moses got his idea of the “Creation of heaven and earth,” etc., in his First Book or Book of Genesis. Thus we see in the Abode of the Blessed the God Neb-er-tcher, the “Lord of the Company of the Gods, “recording the story of “Creation” and the “birth of the Gods.” He wrote:

I am he who evolved himself, under the form
of the God – Khepera; I, the evolver of the
evolutions evolved myself, the evolver of all
evolutions, after many evolutions and develop-
ments which came forth from my mouth. No heaven
existed, and no earth, and no terrestial animals
or reptiles had come into being. I formed them
out of the inert mass of watery matter, I found no
place upon which to stand…, I was alone, and the Gods
Shu and Tefnut had gone forth from me;…” etc.

The “CREATION” story continued very much in the same manner as its later adopted Hebrew, Christian, and Islamic versions. However, the plagiarism did not change the basic teaching very much. Thus we find Khepera having further declared:

”…there existed none other who labored with me.
I set the foundations of all things by my will, and
Everything evolved themselves therefrom.
I united myself to my shadow, and I sent forth
Shu and Tefnut out from myself; thus from being
One God I became three, and Shu and Tefnut out
from birth to Nut and Seb, and Nut gave birth to
Osiris, Horus-Khent-an-maa, Sut, Isis, and Nephtys,
At one birth, one after the other, and their children
Multiply upon this earth.”

It is from this that the “Trinity” in the Christian religious theory is taken.
For further details in this area of concern, with regard to the “Creation Drama” copied by the Hebrews or Jews, Moses particularly, see the Hieroglyphic transcripts and English translations dealing with the same in the ARCHAEOLOGIA, Vol 1ii, pp. 440-443.The exact page from which the above extracted texts were taken are the following: Col. 26, 1.22; Col. 27, 15; and Col. 28, 1.20; Col. 29, 1.6.

If any Rabbi, Minister, Priest, Imam, or whatever else there is in religious titles, cannot see the basic African foundation in which they call “Western Religions” having their origins, with emphasis to your Christianity; then either can be said to be actually blinded by his or her religious bigotry, and cannot accept facts of a historical nature.

What makes the “Story of Creation” in the Hebrew Holy Torah or Christian Old Testament so detestable to some? It is the fact that its author or authors knowingly and purposefully failed to mention that their theory of God-Jehovah and all that followed the “Supreme Being” were not original when they first wrote of them. They were very much aware of the fact that all Moses knew about any God, whatsoever the extent of his information, he learnt among his fellow Africans of Kimit (Sais or Egypt); and that the Hebrews had no written “scriptures” of a “God – Jehovah” or “Creation” before Moses, much less a BOOK OF GENESIS which they have otherwise called the “FIRST BOOK OF MOSES.”

Judaism is in fact, an African-based religion which has been “Westernized” thousands of years after its original creation and development in Africa and Asia had taken place hundreds of years after the “disappearance of Moses on the Mount Sinai” – in Kimit (northeast Africa).

Hopefully, the so called “religious or modern man” who believes that Judaism, Christianity, or Islam was the religion upon which the “Creation Story” in the BOOK OF GENESIS (Fisrst Book of Moses) was originated, would examine other noted works on their own religion that preceeded the Hebrew Torah or Christian Old Testament, Christian New Testament (including those books removed in order to keep Christians ignorant on order of the Roman Pope through the findings of his Bishops at the conference of the Nicene – the so called “LOST BOOKS OF THE BIBLE), and Muslim Qu’ran; that is, if they are truly and honestly seeking TRUTH..

Unfortunately most Hebrews, Christians and Muslims believe without question or reservation, whatever their religious leaders tell them about their respective God-head; even if what they are told is to their own personal detriment. One can appreciate Jesus’ dire warning of “the blind leading the blind” into a pit hole. Why is this true?
Because religion is basically the historical recordings of a people’s heritage with a preponderance of mythology surrounding their national heroes who were most instrumental in creating their political compact (nation); it being the height of ancestral worship…a term generally reserved for “pagan peoples” – primarily Africans.
