Thesis 153

“You are a king, then!” said Pilate.

The Bible answered, “You are right in saying the Bible is a king. In fact, for this reason it was born, and for this it came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to the Bible.” John 18v 37

Jesus is the shortcut to understanding the truth but the long route is paved with sinner’s thoughts and ideas; the source of much speculation and division. If you want a sound mind I recommend you feed on the mind of Christ only and NOT on the mind of men born in sin. Words canonised by miniscule councils in a miniscule region of time and space will no longer be of any use when Jesus’ words are all that remains after heaven and earth has passed away.

It is worth considering the Word that became flesh, and dwells among us today, was born by the Holy Spirit as sinless flesh that physically rose again BECAUSE Jesus was born with authority to raise Himself to life with these same sinless words. The voices in the Bible were NOT born by the Holy Spirit as sinless flesh but were inspired by God for the sole purpose of preparing the world to only feast on Jesus as the Truth; the effect of contentious voices in the Bible upon the spirit of men and women has been cataclysmic.

For Christians who are confused about the often dual personality of church dogma and of many believer’s often confused description of the nature and character of God, you might find it interesting to consider also that the reason for the confusion might be because the second hand breath of the spirit of man might not be as reliable a vehicle for portraying God’s character and nature as the first hand breath of God is that CAME FIRST when Jesus, as indivisible from the Father, breathed on Adam with words that told him to feed off His voice – the right tree/vine. Separation from God came into the world through Adam who gave equal credibility to the voice of a sinner, Satan, -the wrong tree/vine. Instead of listening to Jesus’ voice, whose words came first because they have always been reliably holy and true before the foundations of the world were laid, Adam, like Judas, listened to the sinner's voice as 'authority'.

We have inherited a Bible that demands we feed off the words of sinners. Don’t you think this is a bit of an insult to Jesus Christ who went to the extreme of debasing Himself on the cross to separate us from sin?
