Most Christians, like this woman, focus on the wrong things. "Please take a look at that statue of 'Jesus' with critical eyes," I told her. "Can you not see that this 'cross' is a symbol of a pagan Roman death device with a dead man hanging on it? Is that what God is all about - dying in agony? Can GOD die? Can GOD be born? What message does that send?" But his is exactly the type of thing satan wants you to focus on! He wants you to get the subliminal message that "God" is dead. Our Savior - God's Son whose real Name Yeshua means "Yahweh is Salvation" - hung on a stake for approximately six hours and was removed because the Judeans wanted Him off the cross and in the grave before sundown so as not to desecrate the holy day of Passover. John 19: 14 "Now it was the preparation day of the Passover, about the sixth hour." John 19: 31 It was preparation Day, and the Judeans did not want the bodies to remain on the stake on a Shabbat, since it was an especially important Shabbat. So they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed. (Sterns Complete Jewish Bible) Yeshua was removed from that hideous pagan death device, yet Christians keep on leaving "Jesus" hanging there day in and day out. For the last two thousand years they've been concentrating on those six agonizing hours instead of the overall picture, which is His gift of eternal life. How is that glorifying YHWH (Yahweh) or His Son Yeshua? Why can Christians not get that YHWH, God Almighty, cannot be born or die and that He personally was not hanging on any "cross"? (And He certainly did not have a "mother" as the Catholics insist.) He sent His SON, an "Arm of YHWH" (Isaiah 53:1) a human being with a Divine Nature who was born and died on our behalf and who is the reason we get to have eternal life merely by "believing".... But His Son's death does NOT represent the whole picture of God and His Torah - yet Christians keep on crucifying "Jesus" ad nauseum. They just can't let Him come down off that cross! Yes, His death mattered; He had to die to become our Final Sin Sacrifice! But there's more: HE ROSE; He overcame death and the "world" (Matthew 28) and He is returning (Revelation 11:15) to rule and reign a thousand years until Judgment Day when YHWH will give us a "new heaven and a new earth" (Revelation 21). That is what we are to focus on! He was YHWH-in-the-Flesh who came to preach the Kingdom of YHWH (Luke 4:43) and to show us how to properly obey His Father as He himself also did. In the meantime, our job is to get to know YHWH and His Son by nurturing a relationship based on OBEDIENCE! Yet, "Jesus" continues to hang on that "cross" in many churches around the world, dead as a doornail, with millions praying to his statue depicting a dead man - concentrating on His death and arguing that He came to abolish His Father's Torah and other nonsense, instead of trying to understand the bigger picture. So, who they are really worshipping - because it's certainly NOT the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.... |
