accountability, and the work of Soul Trap relevant.
Having said that…
I now give you that other truth, lost and forgotten amongst the ruble of deceit that is revision. To uproot it, we must of necessity reiterate. Even so, it will blow your spiritual mind. See Matthew 26:36 where the Bible says, “Then came Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane, 37 [where he said to his disciples that were gathered there with him:] 38 ‘My soul is exceedingly sorrowful because I am going to die.’ 39 So he went…and fell on his face and prayed, saying: ‘O Father, if it is at all possible, let this cup pass from me….’ 42 [He then went to pray again, when God failed to answer him, saying:] ‘O Father, if this cup will not be taken from me, except I drink from it [and be forced to die,] your will be done.’ 43 When he returned from praying a second time [because God had yet to answer his prayers,] he found his disciples sleeping, for they were tired. 44 So he left them again, praying a third time [thoroughly proving that God does not answer prayers,] saying the same words.”
What was it again, that Jesus said about this? Oh! That’s right. It was: “All things, whatsoever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” Matthew 21:22.
Ah huh.
But then, I did tell you that it would blow your mind of religiosity.
Yes, grasshopper. Someone purposefully misled the condemned up on the cross, meaning: someone is misleading us, too. And as witnessed through the immutable truth—God does not answer prayers! In fact, quite the opposite is true, in that, his involvement with humanity is of a more trivial nature. Just like it will be in heaven “day and night” while on bended knee, in order to keep the bonfires of vanity stoked for all eternity. After all, why do you think we have prayer vigils involving hundreds, if not thousands, of people?
The undiscovered truth here is that God does not care about the individual in the least. Not even when it comes to the dire concerns of his own son. What was it again, that the Almighty said about this? Oh! That’s right. It was Romans 9:19: “I will have mercy upon whom I will, and will [manipulate] whom I have hardened.”
“Next!”
As further proof that God cares more about wallowing in personal glory than he does the individual and their struggles, I give you Jeremiah 13:15. “Hear ye, and give ear, be not proud: for the Lord has spoken. 16 Give glory to the Lord your God before he causes you trouble, and your feet to stumble upon dark places, and, while you struggle to look for a light, he turns the darkness into the shadow of death….”
There is as well, Acts 12:23. And yes. It has everything to do with God’s insatiable desire for fame and glory. “Immediately the angel of the Lord smote him [why?], because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.”
Well, so much for that nuisance thing called freewill, if only because glory fodder trumps it every time. Why? Because God is not who or what he says he is, is why. This, even despite, what we choose to believe about him. And yes. You are right to want more proof of this. However, I cannot at this time throw everything out there in one lump mass of in-your-face truth and hope you don’t choke on it. It doesn’t work that way. No. We must first anneal the mind, in order that it doesn’t warp when confronted with the cold-water shock of reality. I, therefore, will see you at the appointed place and time where the finality of what you seek will blossom right before your eyes: just like it did with prayer, regardless of who (you, me, Jesus, children of agony,) or how many (the individual verses the masses,) send it up.
Speaking of which…
You want to know why God ignored his only begotten son, right? Not only that, but time after time. Right again? I thought so. For now, I will tell you that it has everything to do with that “cup” Jesus keeps referring to. You know the chalice of misery for which I speak; and that he tried so hard to avoid; because it’s the same one the church says is perpetually running over. The million-dollar question then, becomes: running over with what? To answer that, we need only read from Revelation 14:9. “The third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice: 10 ‘The same will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation….’”
Even so, we know Revelation 14:10 above to include Jesus. How? Because of Matthew 26:39. This being where; and while mired deeply in sorrow concerning his father’s plan for him; he said: “Father, if it be at all possible, let this cup [of misery and indignation] pass from me….”
We know the bracketed subset words of ‘misery’ and ‘indignation’ to be appropriate according to the definitions of edification, elucidation, and erudition because, it wasn’t the cup of joy and serenity his father was passing him. Otherwise, Jesus being the self-absorbed egocentrist that he is (see again, that truth discovered while in Vegas,) would have asked for seconds. We further know this to be correct because of that confession found hidden below the conscious reading level, as written in Revelation 2:27. This being where he said of it: “I will rule over them [meaning, those subjects who choose to follow him. Otherwise, he’s got no one to dominate] with a rod of iron. And like the vessels of a potter, they will be broken into slivers: even as I received from my Father.”!
What was it again, that Jesus said about his lot in life regarding his father’s cup of indignation, concerning his rebellious ways? Oh! That’s right. It was St. John 18:11 where he said of it to Peter: “Put away your sword: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink from it?”
In other words: the rebellious Jesus failed to toe the line, and his father “hardened” the heart of Judas so as to prune him back some. You know, just as warned in St. John 15:2. And by hardened, I mean enlightened. Why? Because you first have to be astute enough to catch these kinds of things, is why. Then, and only then, can you set about applying your resolve. Otherwise, it’s more of the same old tired thing ad-nausim, if only because it has always been that way. And there you have it: the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the unassailable immutable truth as wrought over time immemorial.
Still, I recognize that there are those who would contend that God did not kill his son, in that, the scourge known as humankind did. Right? It’s here I would share with you that, only in the exact sense of this ill-conceived notion are you correct. Remember now, not everything in the Bible is as it seems, but always more than it appears. You cannot carry out a deception of this magnitude otherwise. Of all the things you have learned so far, it’s important you remember that.
To gain a finer understanding concerning this enigma, ask yourself why we call the Friday of crucifixion, “Good Friday?” And no. The resurrection of Jesus did not happen for yet another 1.3 days on “Son-day” morning, so you can forget about that thought. You know the roiling contemplation tugging at your sleeve for which we all struggle: it’s the same one that finds itself steeped in misconception so as to justify, if not further glorify, the crucifixion. How? By suggesting it’s all “good” because God, through the resurrection, brought his sacrificial lamb back to life whereby giving humanity a route to eternity via redemption. Am I right?
Truth is, they call it “Good Friday” because there exists an unspoken truth as to the death of Jesus Christ. It’s one the people of that era found liberation in, and not salvation. You know this to be true because they not only crucified him, but freed the murderer Barabbas in his stead. And no Jew worth his or her Orthodox salt believes in, or worships, that deity calling himself Jesus. Hell, even Socrates, some four hundred years before Jesus ever walked the Earth, took note that society would never tolerate a so-called “righteous” person. Even if that meant they had to rise up, and put that person out of societies misery by tamping down on their obnoxiously gwad-awful protruding bones. (His words as philosopher, not mine.)
What was it again
