No Second Coming

Here is proof that Jesus expected his “second coming” to be in the first century:

“Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. (Mat 16:28)”

Still more proof that Jesus expected his “second coming” to happen in the first century:

…Ye (speaking to his disciples) shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come (his second coming). (Mat 10:23)

and

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (Mat 24:34)

Believe On or Believe In?

What is the difference between Everlasting Life and Salvation? Or is there a difference? Why are these terms different for the same concept? Or are they the same? I guess to most people, they could care less. However, if they have the same meaning then there is a great contradiction here.

If they are different, then there is something here that we haven’t seen before. It’s not a wonder most people don’t study and try to understand the bible for themselves, it takes a bible scholar with a doctorate degree to understand some of it. So people just leave the interpreting to the guys with the credentials and accept what they have to say as God-sent truth.

According to Jesus, Everlasting Life is obtained by keeping the commandments and doing good works. According to Paul, salvation is merely believing and one cannot be saved by good works which we have done, but belief only is “accounted” for righteousness. Apparently, salvation is being saved from Hell. The concept of Hell is foreign to the Bible. Maybe this is the reason Jesus preferred to use the term eternal life.

This is a direct contradiction of a basic concept. To make things more complicated, Jesus says in one of the gospels, “He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” So in this place it seems that Jesus is agreeing with Paul in that all you have to do is believe. Weather or not he actually said those exact words is a different story.

But then in other places he says clearly that you have to keep his commandments and do good works to enter into life. What is one to believe? It’s not a wonder that people leave it up to the clergy to get their truth.

Because Jesus is Not God

Because Jesus is not God: this means the church fathers had to have invented some incredibly huge lies to deceive millions if not billions of people all over the world throughout the last 20 centuries or so. This has to be one of the reasons there are so many contradictions and inconsistencies in the bible.

But there shall arise after you, men of perverse minds who shall through ignorance or through craft, suppress many things which I have spoken unto you, and lay to me things which I never taught, sowing tares among the good wheat which I have given you to sow in the world. (Gospel of the Nazarenes 44:7)

the enemies of truth and righteousness shall rule in my Name, and set up a kingdom of this world, and oppress the peoples, and cause the enemy to blaspheme, putting for my doctrines the opinions of men, and teaching in my Name that which I have not taught, and darkening much that I have taught by their traditions. (Gospel of the Nazarenes 95:4)

The declarations here are so incredibly huge that it is almost unbelievable to be true. However, so many Christians have heard just the opposite so many times that they believe it and would not even think of questioning it. After all, it’s what the Church teaches and “the Church could never be wrong”.

How Many Gods?

Those that defend the doctrine of the Trinity use verses to prove that since there is “only one God”, then Jesus must in fact be capital “g”: God. (Just for reference sake, when I say “person” in this article I am not referring to a human being but a person in the grammatical sense of the word or as an entity, especially since God is a spirit, or whatever he is, and not human.)

Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me no God… Is there a God beside me? yea, [there is] no God; I know not [any]. (Isa 44:6-8)

I [am] the LORD, and none else, no God beside me… (Isa 45:5)

…and no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; none beside me. …Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and none else. (Isa 45:21-22)

…and thou shalt know no god but me: for no saviour beside me. (Hos 13:4)

Jesus: Priest, King and Prophet

Jesus was a Priest-King

Jesus was not only of the royal lineage of Judah but also of the priestly lineage of Levi. He got his Kingship through his biological father Joseph, and his priesthood through his mother Mary.

Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne (Zec 6:13)

Joseph: Father of Jesus

The Church would like us all to believe that the genealogy in Luke is actually of Mary. The reason for this is that for Jesus to qualify as the Messiah, he needs to be a biological descendant of king David and the genealogy in Luke can be followed up to David (However, so can the genealogy in Matthew — but this would make it necessary for Joseph to be his biological father). Therefore, they teach that Jesus’ true genealogy is the one in Luke, which is only conjecture. Continue reading
