On Papias

Eusebius was wrong. The Presbyters were the Apostles, if you read it closely, and the two attributed with John, were those he personally knew, but that confused scholars for a long time when Eusebius made that error, and it’s identical with the kinds of errors you’re making, here.

And Mark is written out of order. It’s just the way his memory constructed it all together. Yes, the chronology is there, but there's certain details that are indeed out of order, like the man whom Jesus healed with the mat, in John and Mark. It’s not perfectly consistent with all the events.

1000 Homilies

My writing is not scripture. Oh, how I hope to be appreciated like John Bunyan or Martin Luther, or St. Augustine and not like Charles Russel or Ellen G. White. I will proclaim, "I am not a Prophet!" If only so my writing can be blessed, and listened to like an earnest homily. Where there is error, ignore it, but it is my hope.

My writing are prayers, you see, Intelleto, they are sermons, and a record kept of who I was... not even to teach, but to witness. As I witness the world around me, I don't teach you, but I tell you what I see. Through it all, I saw love, joy and peace were preeminent above all other things, and were the  foundation of my morality. And all of that proceeded from Christ. From no other spring.

As Christ's words were my morsel, my meat. And I imbued them, and understood them, and ate them as my bread, with tears. And His saints, I carefully listened to, too, as witnesses of His majesty. I listened, and extracted from them a core theology... not as scripture. But, as witness of God's goodness, and the shelter He provides, and the truths He proclaims.

"I can write like God, I just don't want to." I can write like God, too. But, so can a Muslim, and so can a False Prophet. Therefore, understand that the Bible is witness. That is where it lends credibility, is that those verses contain the witness of God's majesty, and not the tone is what makes it true. But, the witness.

And all true writing is witness. We witness God, and He teaches. Selah. But only 66 books are scripture. Only 66 books are the narrow gate. All other paths are thieves and liars, and all other books contain some error, even if minute.

The Curse of the Law and Grace

The Bible needs the context of Jesus to understand. Without faith in Christ, we all deserve death and are in slavery to sin. So, if you don’t have Jesus, the Old Testament puts every person to death, and sentences you to hard bondage in sin.

So, there’s that, and the Prophets reinforce that, showing what hell will take form—and also heaven—if you do or don’t put your faith in Jesus.

As there’s a running theme throughout the whole Old Testament, of salvation through the Messiah, and the beautiful thing about it is that all who call upon the name of the LORD will be saved from the judgment of the Law, and its curse. As Ezekiel says, “I gave you statutes which were not right, and judgments which were not good to live by.” Because judgment had to be taken away from mankind, and given to God to purify the Earth.

As you see the Curse of the Law in Deuteronomy, and also the Prophets, and then the redemption through Jesus Christ, and the condemnation of God’s enemies, and those who harm the saints.

So, all those verses in Deuteronomy and Leviticus are what condemn you. They are the convictions against sin, which is the sentence of death and hard bondage. And Christ is your redeemer, abolishing the entire written code of commandments against you, giving you a religion of conscience and freedom, and obedience through love, rather than blind oblations and obedience through dead ritual.

As it says “With a change of priesthood comes of necessity also a change of law.” And Jesus is the priesthood, which changed from the Levitical priesthood.

Sermon on Whether Satan can Attack You

There’s not much you can do. The Devil attacks whomever he wants, as it says in Daniel, in the latter times he’ll wear out the saints. If you’re not prepared to martial against him, or suffer for the cross, you’re not prepared to enter into the kingdom.

As it is, Christ shepherds us to the kingdom, in no way does He promise us health, wealth and happiness here on Earth, but rather, John says we will mourn upon the Earth.

Satan brings disease, death, destruction, wasting… as he’s a liar, thief and murderer. And that’s all there is to it. He destroys whom he pleases—that’s Satan—and like Job, he tries us in the furnace of affliction. If we come out purified, not as silver, but a worthy lump of precious metal, we are saved and therefore spared from the wrath to come.

I’d fear more having all the fortune, health and joy in the world, and risk going to hell, as the world rejoices in its foolishness, and squalor. Just look at the Kardashians or Tech billionaires. They spoil all love, but are happy and carefree. And the world does. It rejoices. It will rejoice, like a pig wallowing in the mud, and making sure everyone else is dirty, too. But, we being sheep, have nowhere to turn. Our fleeces aren’t being shorn, our nails aren’t being trimmed, our sores aren’t being balmmed, our wounds aren’t being cleaned, because the shepherds are spoiling the flock. And therefore, the goats have all the oats, as the shepherd doesn’t feed the one standing still, or balm their wounds, or seek after the kids of the flock, and they feed from our meat, telling us to feed them, but they don’t feed us.

So, it’s just a fact, suffer a little here, and be filled with good fruit, and though you are tormented by Satan, that’s to be expected. As this life is merely a furnace to burn away the dross.

As Jesus also says, there’s the thorns and rocks. Those who have the cares of this world, and it chokes out the riches and promise of the kingdom of God. Or those who spring up early on the rocks, and turn away due to offense and persecution. In the Early Church, but really all throughout history, except for about 200 years, the church has been persecuted. There’s been a time of rest, from about 1800 - 2000, where the saints were the greatest upon the planet, and had the riches of this life, and fed peacefully. But, sin crept in, and stole that away from the Earth, and it grows darker. So, we must be ready to die, be poor, and be meek and mild. Not to fight in wars. And if God prospers us, rejoice. For God can prosper whom He wishes. And He can restore one to full health, wealth and joy… but the LORD can also cause the fuller’s soap to wash over you, and to cleans you with lye, not for your sin, but because the world has wounded you, and has left you barren. And if you ever had soap against a wound it stings. But, that’s due to careless shepherds. Therefore, Christ is the Good Shepherd, and will shorn your fleece, and cut your nails, and balm and cleanse your wound, and feed you with the finest milk and grains. For you need Christ.

Midrash of The Entire Bible

Adam and Eve are created, and they eat the Fruit of Knowledge and get cast out of paradise; God brings a Patriarchal line through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David; they found a kingdom that should purify the Earth; it sins and gets conquered by Assyria and a few hundred years later Babylon, so Israel’s people are seized and brought into captivity; then they return to the promised land, and their God comes to the Earth in human Flesh as Jesus Christ, and sets forth a plan to redeem all men through His suffering, not just those born of that lineage, through His Death, Burial, and Resurrection; and at the end, He will return in the form of an infant, born of the Virgin Daughter of Zion; she’ll be attacked by the Serpent Satan, and be given wings and fly away, and Her Son will be carried into heaven, and He’ll return with 144,000 Saints who never sinned, and slay all evil on Earth once and for all. And then Satan will return, and be defeated at the final battle of Gog and Magog, and the Earth will be renewed, and Heaven and Earth and all things will be brand new, and there will never be suffering ever again.

Midrash on Sin and the Ten Commandments

I think there’s a natural conscience in men. That’s what the second and third chapters of Genesis mean. It’s just, that conscience gets blurry when people start to try and justify sin. And that creates confusion, where people can’t understand right from wrong, which leads to corruption, violence, and even wars, plagues and famines as judgments from God.

So the 10 Commandments weren’t to say, “This is so because God said it.” God magnified His word above His name. His law is involuble, even by Himself. Like a King in Ancient Babylon or Persia, they didn’t go back on their decrees. God can’t contradict His law.

What is true, is that there were two covenants. One given to the Jews, through Moses, which was to largely condemn the world of its sin—it’s an indictment and judgment against the whole world, if you read it, which is why the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy have such cringy laws, that seem to support genocide and slavery, as those are the judgments of God measured out against all sin, against every nation. Which further gets described in the Prophets, the judgments they will suffer. Up to and including Israel, Judah and Ephraim. So, the Curse of the Law is judgment against all sin, and only Christ could Live according to that sinless, and thereby become Corban as our Sacrifice for sins, like Abrahm was promised at Jehovah-Jireh God would provide the Sacrifice in stead of Isaac.

The Second Covenant or New Covenant prophesied in Jeremiah and Isaiah and Ezekiel, is through Abraham’s seed, so it’s the Seed that blesses all the nations. It’s a new law, therefore a new priesthood, under the order of Melchizedek, therefore a Priesthood outside of Levi, and given to David’s sprout, as is prophesied by Zechariah, that Jesus would reign both Priest and King, which was unlawful when Uziah did it, while he was stricken with leprosy. And this New Covenant is extended to the Gentiles, and is a law of Natural Religion, and atonement in the sacrefice of Christ Jesus's blood. Not paid for oblations to God in empty ritual, but rather through moral adherence and charity toward one another. And as Ezekiel said, “I gave them statutes which were not good, and laws by which they could not live.” Those laws relating to War and the judgment of the nations, which Israel was tasked to do, but failed, therefore Judgment was forfeited from Israel and given to God’s Son.

Evidence for the Gospels

[W]e have Church Fathers from the second century, talking about Christ, we have loads of Church tradition keeping record of that time, Roman Historians talking about Christians, we have Syriac preservations of the four Gospels in non canonical texts dated to the second century—called the Diatessaron—we have fragments of first and second century writers, telling us who wrote three Gospels, meaning they had to be eyewitnesses. And Christ fulfilled over 300 prophecies of the Messiah, which mathematicians say would be 1 in 10^17 power probability of happening, for only eight. So, it’s just showing Christ is the Son of God, and is the LORD. That’s what the evidence shows.

Sinai 357

Sinai 357

I've looked at it, and think it's legit. I think Moses made graffiti on the stone, as Sinai 357 comes from a Turquoise mine. He may have wanted people to recognize that the Jews were enslaved, or he was just being  a deviant. Could be either. Now,  I do think that Sinai 357 is too old, but the writing is faint, showing it was written in a different manner, so probably it's graffiti. Moses probably wanted to leave his mark on it. To note, it's written in Early Hebrew Script, like the Wadi-El Hol, as are many fragments of the Sinai findings. The fragment is dated 1800, but the graffiti is faint, meaning it must have been superficial, and therefore, meant to signify something, if to maker a remembrance of the Jews bondage, or maybe just being a Prince of Egypt and having fun. Who knows?

Midrash on the End Days

You hear any “Yahuah” talk, you just don’t listen. That’s a cult. His name is Jesus. That’s the name handed to us, by the apostolic succession, including Paul and Barnabas. That’s the name. There is no other name.

The Sabbath was not lasting 1000 years. The Sabbath, the Millennial Kingdom, hasn’t begun yet. It will after Miggedo is fought, and all the nations surround Israel, conquer it, and then the LORD will return with 144,000 saints who’ve never sinned like Him, to conquer the armies of Satan, which will be the entire unbelieving world.

Then, after the Millennial Kingdom, Satan will be released, and the War of Gog and Magog will be fought. And that will be worse than the battle of Miggedo. And God will destroy Satan once and for all. And create a New Heavens and New Earth, where there will never be any tears, bloodshed or anger. It will be perfect in every way, and Zion will descend and there will be a world without end, where the saints will rest in Zion. And be comforted on all sides.

Believe on Jesus. There is no salvation in any other name. He’ll be born of the Virgin Daughter of Zion, and be attacked by Satan, but the Earth will stop Satan, and the Daughter will be carried away on Eagle’s wings to a safe place where she will find rest, and her son will be taken to heaven, where He’ll return and wage war against Satan and his armies.
