SCALE REMOVAL---ARE YOU INTERESTED? My last article, Who Has The Light? spoke about the possibility for having an incorrect perception regarding the purpose Jesus visited earth. Jesus purpose was narrowed down to two fundamental alternatives: 1. He came in order to escape hell and go to heaven after death. 2. He came to teach how to live in the kingdom of God before death. The opinion expressed in the article was he came and taught, H ow to live in the kingdom of God, now in this lifetime. The two opinions above are an either/or and are not compatible or collective. Jesus appearance on earth was during the Roman control of the Jews. This was the same time the religious leaders, the Pharisees, were expecting a Messiah to free them from Roman control. Two or three years after Jesus returned to his Father a small group in Antioch wanted to continue to learn and follow the message Jesus had revealed to them. The only available group where Jesus had ministered were Jews and these new followers of Jesus rebelled at the thought of being circumcised. The follow ers of J esus started Christianity t o a void being circumcised. The Apostle Peter stepped forward mistakenly believing that Jesus spoke through Matthew that the church Jesus proposed and commanded was to have Peter as its foundation. This error has first corrupted the Catholic Church and the Protestant branch has suffered the consequences of the same mistake. The typical Christian Church recites the Apost le s Cre e d containing acceptance of the holy catholic church. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen H oly catholic church in lower case doesn t change the belief in hell that the Catholic Church invented and the Protestant Church has acknowledged as truth. 1
Jesus clearly said he wanted his church to be founded on his being the Son of God. Three centuries later Pope Damascus commissioned a Catholic scholar named Jerome to go to Jerusalem and translate the Hebrew Old and the Greek New Testaments into Latin. The Latin Vulgate was the result and this was also the beginning and perhaps the cause of the Dark Ages. In the early centuries there were only two classes of citizens, the wealthy or educated and the poor or uneducated. Of course there is no historical evidence but I believe it is logical to assume that the hierarchy in this newly founded Church of Rome wanted to continue having the poor and uneducated to be under church supremacy. The Catholic Church forbade owning and reading a Bible until the 1950 s. Catholic Priests give their sermons in Latin and a currently reigning Pope has authority to create new dogmas of belief. A Pope considers himself a Vicar of the Church like Jesus. A thousand years later the Church in Rome commissioned a group in Douai, Flanders to translate the Vulgate New Testament into English, called the Douai Version. Both the Vulgate and the Douai translations centered their choice of Hebrew and Greek synonyms to reflect a sinful nature of man and a wrathful nature of God. Neither translation bothered to attempt to translate a single Jewish idiom into an understandable contemporary expression. When Jesus spoke of hell it represented a grave where he went for three days, a trash dump that was a Jewish idiom for losing a reputation or death that he abolished. H ell was perverted from a grave where the dead are buried to an eternal place of torture that a God of wrath designed. Hell was a place where the controlling hierarchy of the church decided a person would or would not go. The good news was indulgences were on sale to escape this mythical location hell. Peter being the first Pope and hell as a God designed location for eternal punishment were and are 180 degrees out of sync with the teaching of Jesus. In view of all this historical evidence hell is still believed by Christianity as the reason Jesus came to earth with an escape plan from hell and a ticket to heaven. 2
My engineering logic in view of all the evidence is telling me again: CHRISTIANS AS JEWS HAVE SCALES OVER THEIR EYES Spiritual scales cause spiritual blindness or an incorrect perception for the reason Jesus came to earth. The sad part is, I f you have scales over your eyes you are the last one to know it but still w ill reap the consequences. God removed the scales from my eyes after a time of earnestly seeking and asking, Why aren t Christians living the expectations of God? Again, let my emphasizing this hell issue be accepted knowing that I am responding to what I am hearing from God and it is out of God s love flowing through me. I am going to give some physical evidences that I hope will provoke your thinking about the possibility for scale removal. Pure physical evidence if you have Cushing s disease your face and upper body will be swollen and the second fact is, Y ou have an excess of Cortisone. This next few examples are spiritual and w ith physical evidences. If you have an angry nature or emotionally unable to control your reactions to a situation you will eventually have stomach ulcers. The idiom, I can t stomach that person. What do you think that will mean 2000 years from now? U n-forgiveness and bitterness are uncontrolled emotions that initiate the malfunctioning of your adrenal gland to release small amounts of adrenalin that eventually will end up as a calcium deposit in a bone joint and arthritis develops. Un-forgiveness and bitterness are the results of judging instead of loving. Adam swallowed a lie 6000 years ago and acquired the ability to judge and this introduced death that sickness and disease would produce. Loving and not judging is an indication you are a son or daughter of God and living in the kingdom of God where there is no sickness or disease. 3
Judging is evidence of swallowing the same lie Adam did and it is still causing death by sickness and disease. Fear causes stress and I have heard that 80% of hospital patients are there because of uncontrollable fear that causes stress. Perfect love received from a God who does not act apart from love casts out fear. Perfect love flowing through you will create a perfect harmony or synchronization of every blood cell and divine health emerges. H aving Love received from a God who loves a few and sends the majority to an everlasting burning location called hell imparts love at times when things and people are performing correctly. H aving Love flowing through you at times does not create harmony or synchronization of blood cells and sickness and disease emerge. Jesus came not to condemn or judge mankind but that mankind could be healthy. Sin pollutes blood and causes sickness and disease; Jesus came to cure the affects of sin. If hell is a deception from Satan and you are giving God the recognition this is called Blasphemy and is considered an unforgivable sin. In as much as Jesus said forgiveness of sins is equal to saying, Be healed. Blasphemy means you are going to stay sick or diseased. If you are sick or are infirmed please do not take the above as any kind of condemnation but use it as a tool to determine where you are and the possibility of scales preventing a correct perception of God and the reason Jesus came to earth. Divine health is God s will regardless of any explanation for sickness of disease. When I determined that God is Love and He sent Jesus to earth as a cure for the physical consequences of sin; my life entered a changing process that is affecting me dramatically. Forty generations after the birth of Jesus humanity thought the world was flat. A mariner named Columbus read the Bible and with an accurate translation of the 4
Greek word w orld determined it was a globe or round. Everyone called him a lunatic and attempted to hospitalize him in an insane asylum. Columbus was proven right even though he named the inhabitants of his discovery Indians believing he was in India. Fifty generations after the birth of Jesus Christianity believes God loves a few and condemns the majority to an everlasting burning in hell. A few have studied and read the scriptures with an accurate choice of Hebrew and Greek synonyms along with an understanding of Jewish idioms and have determined that hell is a myth. Christianity, in general, calls these few who have dared to oppose the traditional church teaching as spiritual lunatics and shun them as a postate believers. If the King James Version of the Bible is read without checking synonyms as to what God intended and taking Jewish idioms literal a belief in hell will suggest itself. Another thought, since I have reversed my belief in hell I have become a son of God and duplicating the works of Jesus and emulating the love of God. Did I hear you correctly, Doing the w orks of Jesus? Yes, I am setting captives, traditional Christians, free from having an incorrect perception of w hy Jesus came to earth and giving the unchained Christians instructions how to live in the kingdom of God. At 83 years young I feel incredible because I am in the perfect will of my Father. He and I joke about my transformation and how excited He is that I am His son and continuing the works of His first Son, Jesus. Has Satan scared hell out of you? Or has Satan scared hell into you? c.wardman@cox.net January 04, 2009 5
