Crucify Him!

What we have to remember is that Jesus was crucified by religious people.

It was the religious authorities of Jesus own people who condemned him.

Pilate washed his hands and denied responsibility for his death.

And so we must look to ourselves and how we condemn those who challenge our beliefs.

Or we may be guilty of crucifying Jesus ourselves.

Good News.

The Good News of the Kingdom of God is that we are all forgiven, loved, and blessed by God.

There is no judgement.

There is no punishment.

We are forgiven.

 

And those who are forgiven more will love more.

Jesus was killed by worldly authorities.

Authorities who saw him as a threat.

The Romans feared The King of the Jews would lead an uprising against them.

And the religious authorities of Israel feared that they would lose their hold over the people and thus lose their privileges.

So they killed him.

And in time the Priests of Jesus' own Church reinstated the threats of judgement and punishment that Jesus had challenged.

And so we see the modern Orthodox theology of the Church reflecting the retributive and punitive aspects of Judaism rather than the mercy, forgiveness, and grace that Jesus preached.

And so there is Good News:

God loves us.

We are forgiven and loved.

And we will inherit Eternal Life!

Ahimsa.

Eastern religions embrace Ahimsa or non-violence.

This is an intrinsic aspect of God.

But how can non-violence overcome violence?

The answer is that God is Light.

And Light will reveal the root of violence in fear.

And when this is achieved the violence stops.

God.

God is not the patriarchal, punitive, arch-conservative, intolerant tyrant that traditional religion claims Him to be.

God does not judge us.

God loves us.

The false image of God propagated by the Churches is a projection of the traits of earthly authority figures.

They think that God should be rewarding good and punishing evil.

And they decide who is good and who is evil. 

But in reality God does not do this.

God is Merciful, Forgiving, and Gracious.

He does not hold us to ransom for our sins.

And He does not discriminate.

God is Love.

And His Love endures forever.

Words of Life.

Good, truth, life, light, non-violence, and love.

These are the words of Life.

Guidelines for worthwhile living.

They are compatible with the 10 Commandments.

And they compliment Eastern Religious teachings.

They counteract: Bad, lies, death, darkness, violence, and hate.

Which dominate our popular culture.

And they contradict Generation X.

Heaven.

All peoples of the world pray.

They may pray to different gods.

But all of these gods represent the benevolent will of Heaven and their compassion for our sufferings.

These sufferings are not caused by God.

They are the result of the ignorant actions of humans with free will.

And so we look to the Light.

To pierce the darkness.

And dispel evil.

Angels and Bodhisattvas.

Devil-worshippers are corrupting and cursing us through the unconscious.

Rock stars, celebrities, and sports men and women poison our minds while we are watching them.

This is done through subliminal messages and images.

This is why most people are unaware of their activities.

But closer inspection will reveal negative suggestions.

   

Death, darkness, vice, violence, hate, sin, and evil.

All these things are evident.

But how can we counter these negative messages if most people are unaware that they exist?

Angels and Bodhisattvsas guard us against evil.

It is their job to turn us away from evil and towards good.

So pray that God will send Angels and Bodhisattvas to save us and deliver us all from evil.
