JORDAN RIVER BAPTISMAL SITE

[2Kings 2:6-14] Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan.” And he said, “As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on. 

[7] Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan. [8] Elijah took his mantle and folded it together and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground. 

[9] When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” [10] He said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” [11] As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. [12] Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. [13] He also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan. [14] He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said, “Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha crossed over. 

AMMAN, Jordan: Substantial new evidence from archaeological excavations may have located where Jesus was baptized. Scholars long identified Jesus' baptism as taking place at the lower reaches of the Jordan River, east of Jericho - prompted by a combination of biblical references, Byzantine and other mediaeval texts, and the uninterrupted traditions of the Greek Orthodox Church, which has custody of the area.

Following the 1994 Jordan-Israel peace agreement, archaeologists promptly resumed the search for the place the Bible called "Bethany beyond the Jordan." That search had begun over a century earlier.

In a region of some 8 square kilometers on the east bank of the Jordan River, archaeologists have identified and examined over 30 different archaeological remains. Numerous artifacts confirm the area was inhabited in the Early Roman period, the time of Jesus and John the Baptist.

Located some 11 kilometers north of the Dead Sea shore, about a 40-minute drive from Amman, Bethany beyond the Jordan is fast becoming a major new destination for Christian pilgrims.

The key discoveries are the Byzantine monastery and earlier Roman-era remains at Tell al-Kharrar; several smaller Byzantine churches, chapels, monks' hermitages, caves, and hermit cells; a large Byzantine multi-church complex; a ceramic pipeline bringing water to the site from several kilometers east; a large plastered pool and adjacent khan halfway between Tell al-Kharrar and the Jordan; another pilgrims' rest station and khan several kilometers east, on the ancient pilgrimage route to Mount Nebo.

The discoveries have excited archaeologists and biblical geographers alike. This seems the only site where textual, archaeological and traditional evidence converge.

The puzzle about the precise site of Jesus' baptism is complicated by several factors: the different ancient names used to designate the area, the imprecise narrative in the biblical text, and the different modern sites where pilgrims commemorate the baptism.

John 1:28 explicitly names "Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing" as the location - though John is unclear as to whether the itinerant preacher was passing through, or lived there on a semi-permanent basis. John 10:40 mentions Jesus' escaping Jerusalem and going "away again across the Jordan to the place where John at first baptized ..."

This place where Jesus found refuge on the east bank of the Jordan seems to be Bethany beyond the Jordan.

The main mound at Tell al-Kharrar has long been called Elijah's Hill, Tell Mar Elias in Arabic. This reflects its identification as the place from where the Prophet Elijah ascended to heaven (2 Kings 2:5-14). Today the area is called Al-Maghtas, "the place of baptism" or "of immersion."

It is clear that John the Baptist came to this place (Wadi el-Kharrar) where Elijah had come before him and had been caught up to heaven. So John chose this place and began to act in the spirit and power of Elijah. Though it should be emphasized that John the Baptist was not Elijah (Jn 1:21), he was the voice of one “crying in the wilderness.”

The Roman remains discovered during the excavations indicate a considerable settlement near Wadi el-Kharrar. The area was known to pilgrims and many people started visiting the area, reaching a high point during the Byzantine period.

This site is ever since considered to be the birthplace of Christianity and fittingly so.

FROM THE LOWEST TO THE HIGHEST

The Dead Sea valley is the lowest place on earth. Elijah was taken from that same spot where some 1000 years later John the Baptist baptized Jesus. From the lowest place we ascend to God's heights. One must be converted and become like a child. God chooses the low places to draw us up to Himself. [Matthew 18:4] Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. [Matthew 23:12] Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. 

ABOUT HEAVEN

Traditionally, we have grown accustomed to believe, like the ancients did, that heaven (Hebrew, HASHAMAI'EEM) is above us. Hebrew uses one word for sky and heaven, only Hashamai'eem is plural for heavens; hence, Paul's allusion to the third heaven (2Corinthians 12:2). We do not know if there are three or seven heavens, but plurality speaks of endlessness. For example, mercy, in Hebrew (RAHAMEEM) is plural, mercies; hence, David wrote in Psalms (136) that God's (lovingkindness) mercies are endless, eternal or everlasting. Anything plural in Hebrew may denote endlessness and therefore eternity.

As an additional note, the Old Testament (The Tanakh) was written without tenses. God speaks from the present and from timeless eternity.

Please also note that the location of heaven  is not among stars, or is it the cosmos, it is within us, among us and it comes when we speak the words of the truth. Also note the verse at the start of this article. Whirlwind obscured Elisha's view just as the cloud obscured the view of disappearing Jesus who was crossing over to heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven, Kingdom of God, or heaven are all one and the same - spiritual realm (God is Spirit - John 4:22-24) from which we stepped out and stepped into this physical world. It was up to God when we stepped out of God's realm and now it is up to us how we will exit matter.

[Acts 1:9:11] And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. [10] And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. [11] They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

They kept on looking up even though Jesus was no longer visible. Our farfetched minds often wander away from the here and now. Our faith has become mystical and God wants to change it, even now. Our education in the Truth must start somewhere. Why not right now?

After I have written books and this blog-post I came upon TIME'S special edition about heaven. The author is Jewish. Sometimes it seems as if he actually has read my stuff. But then he rambles in circles citing many beliefs as if beliefs are so important. Anyone who studied knowledge knows; and anyone who believes does not know, but believes. Based on what? The laziness in acquiring the knowledge of God is often replaced with a cop-out-belief because the knowledge we supposed to get is hijacked by another religion. One then goes into camps, Jewish, Christian or Muslim and sorts out things as to believes what and why. That's not knowledge that's escapism.

STUDY GOD

The Bible (the Tanakh), which was before Christianity, or Islam; has enough of information about heaven and the afterlife, if one wants to use this term. (I am not speaking about what Judaism beliefs or teaches here.) The Bible speaks of the overcoming life and of the possibility of never dying; physically or otherwise. All one needs to do is read between the lines with the right spirit; and that spirit is the spirit of God's Logic and never man's.

You may ask me "do you know this, and do you really read between the lines, are you sure?" My answer is: "Yes." If so, you may ask me again, "Can I test you?" The answer again is "Yes you can and will prove it to you." But be warned, it may take some time. If you have the patience to wait for me to explain it all to you in detail, and your mind is able to grasp it all; then I am ready.

But are you ready?

AUTHORITIES & SIN

INTRODUCTION

God establishes earthly authorities (Romans 13:1). Pilate’s authority was therefore from God; Jesus stated so. It is foolish and useless to do spiritual warfare with principalities and powers since no one else is establishing them but the Almighty Himself.

The cup of wickedness of any authority on earth must run full, just as God told Abraham in Genesis 15:16 that the inquire of the Amorites is not yet complete. So there is a measure, which when complete gets terminated. Also one should consider Romans 11:25 where Paul speaks of the fullness of the Gentiles. Israel has been blinded, but only partially, until the fullness... We are living in days where things become complete. So get ready for something unprecedented and completely new. 

(If you understand this then please share your thoughts with us. This writing is for exchange and interaction; otherwise it can be a waste of voluble time.) 

It is so important because this divine setup affects our lives. We are better off understanding and knowing than yielding our minds to idiots and get lost in religious imbecility. A time lost cannot be recovered. Clouds in the mind obscure light, the pride of this life shortens life, and then we do not know God's Kingdom and our position before Him. As a result people not only waste time, but also pollute our straight thinking with their books, sermons and false teachings. Fools make fools, the blind leads the blind, and the pride of life keeps them bound up. Who will make them free but only the Truth, but do they love God's truth or their own creations? One must first accept and then absorb (internalize) the Truth; only then one becomes wise and starts to think, speak and act wisely. 

We understand and know that all of us were born innocent and then gradually become corrupt. Corruption is a departure from innocence. We grow up, but too often in the wrong direction. Children absorb the new at phenomenal speed and are hungry to know more. But as we mature we get hurt and often disappointed, as a result we gradually look for secure places where to lick our wounds. As we do that we resist anything revolutionary and new because we do not want to be hurt again. Again, as a result, we do not overcome anything, but retreat into our safety nest. The exploring child is then replaced with a rigid "mature" person. What's next? Such person tends too look back in time.

An example. Let's take the words of Jesus of John 8:51, "He who keep My words will NEVER SEE DEATH." Any kind of death, physical, spiritual or eternal, etc. Because most run on the premise of believing, which is pumped into our brains over and over again resulting in blind faith, we grow religiously cautious. Yet, it is Jesus talking here and not the devil... True interpretation vs. false... it is all about one philosophy labeled 'right' against another labeled by the former as being 'false'. Man erects fences and ever thicker and taller protective walls, which the unsuspected confuses with the Truth and a lie. So, if you "believe" that you will never die, then your faith must have substance, but here we run into problems because one hates to be disappointed.

It is the KEEPING of His word and not just believing it, studying Him and God's Kingdom, walking with God as Enoch did. THEN... one's faith grows as one approaches his or her destination. That faith has substance and then it turns into 100% knowledge. Indeed, one truly knows.

Now. You lived your entire life believing in John 8:51, and you were seeking the Kingdom and its righteousness and then oops... you died. Did you have any consciousness of your disappointment with your faith then? No. You lived a full life with hope and faith exploring God and His realm. It is all up to Him to keep you, take you or let you shed the earthly garment. It is Him and His will. Period. 

BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, ONCE YOU START EXPLORING THIS TRUTH AND CONTINUE EXPLORING; THE ALMIGHTY WILL KEEP YOU ON THIS PLANET FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD; UNTIL YOU OVERCOME. 

THE FRUIT OF SELF-DISCIPLINE

The last fruit of the Holy Spirit is self-discipline, which has been replaced with church goings and hearings of sermons. Belonging to a church and taking sacraments turned into a religious observance because we are guilty, I suppose, and we must do it just in case.

If we are all born corrupt, because of Adam’s fall, then God should only judge Adam and not his descendants, and yet all of us individually will be judged separately. Precisely, we will be judged because incessantly we keep on mourning the fall of our first parents (* but they were not first, there were other people before Adam and Eve in Sumer), as if we can do nothing about it and then we blame Satan for all the evils in the world.

* Sumerians existed before Adam, but according to my knowledge of the Bible, they did not have the Free-Will as we do, or the NESHAMAH. They were not made according to God's image and likeness, TSELEM. There were from the pre-Adamic first creation. The Jewish Bible traces Adam's lineage because he was different and brand new. Hence, the Bible keeps on emphasizing the new, the fresh, new heaven, new Earth, new Jerusalem, new wine and new garment; something unprecedented. Only the world believes that Adam (but partially) was the first human; thus another religion had been created, which Darwin undermined with his theory of evolution. As a result those that were formerly religious turned atheists. That's the foolishness of any religious indoctrination. And just like those who believed that the earth was flat so today we still have a long way to go before the Divinely inspired NESHAMAH reveals to us more of the fresh and new. 

“Now gird up your loins like a man,” God said twice to Job (38:3 & 40:7).  

All authorities, monarchs and governments start (in democracies) the same way: with promises to clean up their predecessors' act or at least improve it. They run on a clean moral ticket until they themselves fall prey to (gradual) corruption. Authorities come and go and the righteous must wait until God's allotted time is complete. In the same way (Romans 11:25 read, UNTIL the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. Also Ephesians 4:13 read, UNTIL WE ATTAIN to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge...) Fools grab but only pieces of isolated information (like Ephesians 6 [15] gospel of peace and not of war) and create elaborate doctrines and then enslave their followers to it.

SIN GRADATIONS

[John 19:11] Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.” Then Jesus said that the one who delivered Him to Pilate (Judas who betrayed Jesus) committed a worse sin.

Not all sins are equal. Sin is not just sin as I heard many say, as if in God’s eyes there are no differences. However, there is sin that leads to ultimate death.

[1John 5:16] If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this.

This is not eternal life in hell’s torment, is it? Death through a complete annihilation, for there is nothing after that but nonexistence. Thus Judas perished for the term ‘son of perdition’ means utter destruction; having no consciousness of any existence.

Disciples asked about the man’s or his parents’ sin. Jesus said, “neither” for He was after this sin obsession and He was about to let them hypocrites have it.

Just as the priests and Pharisees were obsessed with sin through which psychology they kept the “sinner” under their “saintly” control so is the same today in Christianity. To the blind man, whose eyes Jesus opened, they said that he was born in sin.

[John 9:16; 33-34] (…) But others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” (…) [33] "If this man were not from God, He could do nothing.” [34] They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?” So they put him out (expelled from their synagogue or from today’s church).

How did they know that Jesus was a sinner, by whose standard? They ruled that all men are sinners, why? Actually, of all the people, they were the greatest sinners and their sinful stench disgusted God. Christians borrowed from their philosophy of sin, but call it the ‘original sin’ in, or with which, supposedly, we all  are born. (One can say that it is written so in the Bible. Yes, it speaks of corruption and not of the original sin doctrine). As if that sin is so embedded in our genes that there is no way we can ever be free from it. Why? The only hope is the church, ceremonies, confessionals, liturgy, public declaration of our faith, marches with banners and more proclamations of this. Etc. What a nice septic tank we chose to bathe in. This sort of “curse” mentality keeps many in bondage to this day. Oh, Jesus saw His people in this bondage and came to set them free, but many were not willing because of fear.

No one inherited the original sin of Adam and Eve, for Adam and Eve did not sin, to say it precisely, but only transgressed the commandment, which God wanted them to transgress anyway. (No Christian knows the difference, between, uncleanness, sin, transgression, abomination, fault, violation, iniquity or wickedness, but the Hebrew people do. So to make matters worse, in Christianity everything is lumped together and made into sin, then many theologians preach that sin is sin. Like heterosexual sex (outside marriage), homosexuality, children molestations, rapes, bestiality or murder are all the same grades of sins. No they are not. Children are scarred for life. A life taken is no more with us. If you kill with the sword, you will die from it. Without the Torah we would never grade these things, but since without the Torah sin remains undefined, 'for the power of sin is the law' (Apostle Paul) then the law defines it all. But if you want to tell God that it was immoral for Him to permit, forbid and then create a desire for no other tree but the tree of knowledge then go ahead. And since your faith in God’s absolute rule over all of His creation is weak you’d rather dwell in dualism, God vs. Satan. Instead of studying God you define Him like the Pharisees did and like many do today by boxing Him in. Next, they'll label Him with their own speculative theologies and then they stamp Him too and then ship Him out of their lives. Where is God? – I don’t know? I have not seen Him around lately.

I hope that your brain has not yet overheated. If so, than read on...

THE BIBLE SHARPENS YOUR BRAIN

The Kingdom of Heaven is also gone. Where the truth is not preached and taught the kingdom of God stays away.

[Luke 10:8-9; 11] “Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you; [9] and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ ‘[11] 'Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’

After Adam and Eve’s transgression God taught them the difference. They did not fall; they were learning the new lessons of life, for their mission in life was to fill the entire earth with their kind. Teaching is good but learning is better. They did not learn much, but God did not give up on us. Look where we are today. By the way, the Almighty will take care of Adam and Eve in His own gracious and most merciful way. He sacrificed them for you, just as He sacrificed the entire Nation of Israel and finally His Firstborn Son. No more sacrifices. This is it. So let’s learn for we are the most privileged generation.

[John 11:51-53] Now he did not say this on his own initiative, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation, [52] and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. [53] So from that day on they planned together to kill Him.

This means this: [Matthew 10:5-6] “Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; [6] but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. So the Samaritan woman was not really one and that is why Jesus waited for her to come and draw water. He tested her as to her affinity with Jews (Salvation is from the Jews, John 4:22). Most likely she was also a lost Jewess from Judah or from another (lost) tribe, but now found. There is no other explanation.

Many are called, but few are chosen. God wants all to come to the saving grace, but not all will be saved for they actually do not belong. They were born without the “heavenly gene” but only to populate this earth and then be no more. Many already know that, so they use this short moment on earth to fill their cup to the brim. They say that they love life. They hold on to that life until they must let go off it when they are satisfied with days. And that is okay.

Patriarchs like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were satisfied with days. They had a mission in this life, which was to bring a nation that would write the Bible. Israel had to go to Egypt, multiply and then be delivered from slavery so that we would learn that God hates slavery and all forms of oppression. God seeks to free you, while man seeks to bind you, all the time and in many departments of life, politically, financially and religiously. It was not for Adam and Eve’s sake or for the patriarchs, nor for Israel; and not for the Christian church’s sake, but for the remnant made up of overcomers. God’s sons the peacemakers will be the final variety of people.

If you start with God’s loathing of earth’s violence then you must end up with His perfect peace that surpasses all (earthly) understanding. It is the same and final word, which God utters in Aaron’s benediction (Numbers 6:26). That’s how precious to God peace is.

It is better to be nonreligious then only religious… just in case, not caring to know the Creator as He really is, seeking and studying Him. Religion is only a label impregnated with lots of hope about going to heaven and skipping hell.

When people’s mission on this planet is complete they will not exist and that, above all, is God’s love and His righteousness, even fairness. The physical death is only a quiet prelude. Then comes the judgment. That which has been harvested will be sorted out like wheat, chaff and straw. Only the wheat will be gathered and the rest completely burned up as if it never existed, so that’s not hell, that’s God’s mercy.

[John 10:26-28] "But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. [27] "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; [28] and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.

As the message of salvation became increasingly popular throughout whole Europe, starting in Greece, the Kenites found in it a business opportunity. That same itch for political power, like that of their Jewish predecessors who conspired against Jesus never goes away. As it drove the Jewish authorities to insanity so it was the same with the Christian wars. Christ and the cross were used only as a “holy” pretense. From this insanity emerged hell; concocted from Jesus’ loose allusions to fire, which He used when He spoke about or with the priests, scribes and Pharisees the inventors of hell. So now the Christian authorities enlarged their empires with depictions of eternal torments in hell. If you do not join the church you go to hell. If you leave the church you also burn. There is no escape from the threat of hell, which the Kenites laugh about because they know that there is none. As tares the Kenites will be burned up and that is it. They have no life eternal. What they are after is not salvation or heaven, but rather to rule over fools here and now to fleece them like sheep each day. They do not ever have enough of the shiny metal. Their heaven is power now. They know that when they die they will not be.

Anyone desirous to obtain eternal life is of the God’s children material. These sheep Jesus sent to find and so He commissioned His disciples to do.

Those who are of the truth listen to Me. “You are not my sheep, not of the truth…” said Jesus. Not of the truth?

[John 18:37-38] Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” [38] Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?”

So let’s not define what is truth, but let’s study the truth. Turn it upside down, shake it, turn it, eat it, drink it and never eliminate it until it completely transforms you.

I say the same: those who have used me and than abused me; and because of me expelled members of their church; they are not of the truth, they are Kenites (of Cain's descendants the first murderer and liar, according to the Bible, John 8:44). These people fell in love with the political power, dominance and money. They hold on to the few people they have caught in their nets and are afraid to loosen their grip on their minds. Anyone who says something different from their well-established dogmas is deemed as a serious threat to their establishment, and that is kenite.) They saw their sheep running to me for liberation, education and healing. As they were being cleansed from all religiousness they no longer fitted in the old religious barn and found in it no fresh bread anymore. Some wandered from place to place seeking rest. But finally they had realized that they could stand on their own two feet. What, too much light, too much truth? Jesus was persecuted for it, so am I, and it’s going to get worse. But what I know no one knows on this planet.

Where I am going they cannot follow. They will seek me but won’t find me for the unclean cannot enter therein.

Those who have seen the multiplication of bread and fish, and many miracles, but after they heard His teaching they departed and stopped following Jesus. They were not of the Truth and not His sheep anyway. Learn this truth and learn it fast.

Jesus said to the Pharisees, “I know that there is no love of God in you.” Why? Because you hate Me; you are as empty drums manipulating the people with illusions and fears just to be in control. The pleasure of control can be addictive, but in fact it is demonic.

[Matthew 23:27-28; 29-35] "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. [28] "So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

Obviously, as a Jew, Jesus knew that anything dead is unclean. Today, not only the Orthodox Jews venerate tombs, but also Catholics who keep the *‘All Saints’ Day. Holy people do not visit graves and do not touch anything unclean and they do not seek any merit or special blessing from the dead (Orthodox Jews pray at the graves of famous rabbis).

* All Saints' Day is observed by Christians in many countries around the world. In countries such as Spain, Portugal and Mexico, offerings are made on this day. In countries such as Belgium, Hungary and Italy people bring flowers to the graves of dead relatives. In other parts of Europe, such as Austria, Croatia, Poland, and Romania, it is customary to light candles on top of visiting graves of deceased relatives. It is also observed in parts of Asia, such as the Philippines, where people visit graves of deceased relatives and clean or repair them. They also lay flowers on the graves and light candles.

Since we study Jesus and not man’s traditions then what is He saying? For many in religion the dead are saints and the living are sinners. We live in memories for time sort of cleanses lots of things and everything after an elapsed time begins to look sweet and beautiful. To this day it is the rabbinical, and not only rabbinical teaching, to never say anything bad against the dead. Even if your father was a rapist or a murderer, still you must speak of the deceased only nicely. As if you must not disturb the dead by reminding the decomposing corpse of its sins. But this mystical malady leads to demon possession, which starts with uncleanness. Therefore, Jesus spoke of unclean spirits in no uncertain terms. Stupidity costs nothing. Wisdom is expensive, but can you afford it?

[29] “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, [30] and say, ‘If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ [31] "So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. [32] "Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers. [33] "You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell?

Oh Really? Looking back we tend to romanticize things and even imagine as if they had never taken place. Then we move on to legends and myths. This is the attempt of many Holocaust deniers like KKK, Nazis, Iranian Ayatollahs and now the united in the same Fatah and Hamas Palestinians. Why? Hatred.

[34] "Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city, [35] so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

Here we have the ancestral lines of the ancient hate gene. Since Ishmael and Esau this gene went on a journey into the future. It passes on from generation to generation and new circumstances awake these sleeping gene. “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matthew 7:16-20).

[John 5:41-43] I do not receive glory from men; [42] but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. [43] have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

Because they loved their glorious positions they received it daily and sought more glory as they went, for by then it became too addictive to give it up. So they exchanged the love for God—in whose name they held high positions—for the love of self. Today religious illusion is being exported from the US all over the world and many seized the opportunity. Just go on YouTube and you will see the turmoil. People’s faith in the devil is so powerful that they give themselves over to their own creations, body, mind and soul. The nonexistent "Lucifers" are crying out and demons from hell—although they not supposed to be yet in hell—but all these false imaginations with which people have been  fed throughout the years; they now project out. They are loaded with deep frustrations. They only vent out their indescribable angers, which they kept suppressed for the sake of being nice in a civilized society. You only need a platform to allow this. You make people laugh, they will laugh. You allow them to go hysterical; they will go hysterical. You permit demons to talk, which Jesus never did allow, you will have demonic circus that would make a believer out of any uneducated greenhorn. Yet, all this trash can be swept away with one swipe of the heavenly truth. But the learning of the truth is very slow and is approached with a timid suspicion. Why? It is not popular like that other trash. The religious theater must go on, lest they lose their audiences to the preachers of the Truth. Result? Many are called but only few … you know the rest.
