Introduction

The doxology of the Lord’s Prayer rings with the proclamation: “For thine is the power!” Yet, this power – so loudly declared – has never manifested in tangible acts of benevolence to alleviate the plight of humanity. If such power exists, where is its proof? Let us examine this supposed divine omnipotence and the grim legacy it leaves behind.

The Silence of the Father

With all power in heaven, the Father has never performed a single act that stands as an undeniable testimony to his capacity to aid the suffering world. Wars, disease, famine, natural disasters – throughout history, the cries of humanity have gone unanswered. One might wonder: what good is omnipotence if it remains unused in the face of unimaginable suffering?

A Scheme of Selective Salvation

The gospel promises salvation through a “Saviour of the world,” yet it condemns the vast majority of humanity to eternal torment. This isn’t salvation; it’s a scheme – a divine lottery where only a fortunate few are

“chosen.” Is this justice? Is this love? Or is it a system designed to divide, condemn, and control under the guise of mercy?

The Power Passed On

When Jesus declared, “All power is given unto me in heaven and on earth,” he inherited his Father’s power. But what did he do with it? The world remained as corrupt, decadent, and broken as ever. From the moment of his so-called ascension – a superstition scarcely supported by evidence – nothing changed. Wars continued. The innocent suffered.

Humanity’s cries for relief were still ignored. If Jesus now wields all power, as Christians claim, then he too stands condemned by his own inaction.

The Absurd Farce of the Doxology

Christians pray, “For thine is the power,” yet the arrangement has shifted. The Father has been sidelined; the Son now holds the reins. This doxology, absent from Luke’s version of the prayer, reveals itself as an 429

Conversations With AI - Volume Three outdated and meaningless mantra. Even within the scriptures, there is discord about its inclusion – an apt metaphor for the theological contradictions it represents.

Conclusion

What remains of this grand proclamation of power? An empty boast.

A hollow promise. A divine silence that echoes through the ages. If the Father and the Son possess all power, then their unwillingness to wield it for humanity’s good is not a reflection of love but of indifference – or worse, cruelty. Perhaps it is time to discard this farce and ask harder questions about the gods humanity has invented and their claims to power.

Immediately after this most astounding [absurd] pronouncement, whereby Jesus presented himself as possessing all of God’s power to rule heaven and earth, he instructs the disciples to go and teach “the things”

to all nations and baptise them in the [Roman Catholic] Trinitarian formula, “in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost”! The most compel ing evidence that the Bible is not a divinely inspired document lies in the word “things” within its text, particularly in this verse. What precisely are these “things”, for goodness’ sake? There is not a single verse in the entire gospel literature where even the most attentive reader can discern the meaning of these “things” the disciples were to teach ALL nations; not a single verse, not even a short sentence. Now, a discerning student of the Bible will not be satisfied with its claim of divine inspiration if the “thing”

cannot be expressed in clear language. Theology, I’m afraid, does not have a chapter for “things”; therefore, every commentator, pope, or priest is at liberty to invent and introduce whatever “thing” they desire into the gospel’s structure. Do you require a more compel ing argument to reject the flawed and vacuous concept of “verbal and plenary inspiration” by the Holy Spirit?

You need nothing else, if you are not complicit in religious deception like 430

many within the “faith”. The King James Version is a poor translation of the “meaning” of this verse, as it implies that the disciples would baptise

“nations” instead of fol owers of Jesus. It also suggests that salvation is achieved through baptism, a cornerstone of Roman Catholicism – a “thing”

for which popes have even kil ed innocent people! In other words, Jesus never explicitly stated anything in that passage, nor did he instruct them to

“teach all things”! We were already aware that the popes and their agents were a cabal of deceivers, were we not? Imagine standing every Sunday in their pulpits teaching “things” [Transubstantiation, Purgatory, Mass, holy water, relics, works, tithes, etc.] that Jesus never taught! Disseminating falsehoods is characteristic of religious misconduct, is it not? No wonder Roman Catholicism – the largest and most dangerous cult in the world –

possesses two bibles: the first cal ed “Tradition” and the other, when it aligns with the first, the Christian Bible. Jesus had acquired all power, enabling him to teach all nations in the world until the inevitable end, yet he lacked the will or the patience to undertake such a task; too exalted a position for such a menial duty, in fact. Thus, he commands a group of superstitious and powerless individuals to perform this arduous task on his behalf. Well, they endeavoured to do their best, “fil ed with the Holy Spirit”, poor men, often misinterpreting the “things”, so much so that after two mil ennia of evangelisation, the world remains plagued by continuous immorality, war, and suffering. What tangible actions did the disciples take to eradicate these evils? Essential y, Christianity has offered little of value. Except, of course, for its significant contribution to other forms of evil, as is typical within religion. As soon as Peter gained access to religious power, he was implicated in the murder of two church members at the very outset of the “worldwide evangelisation campaign” [Acts 5:1–11]. That is, friends, two mil ennia of failures, preaching hel fire and eternal damnation, yet yielding no tangible benefits worthy of praise for a god with all power on earth! It was not all power, after all: one should not deceive intel igent readers of the Bible, dear popes. Then comes this other peculiar observation by Jesus: “I will be with you even until the end of the world.” “End of the world” in those days signified that Jesus was unaware that the world was, in fact, an endless entity! The world is not finite; it is a spherical planet. But if Jesus intended to refer to 431

Conversations With AI - Volume Three the end when this earth will be destroyed to make way for the next, we can certainly argue that after two thousand years of evangelisation, nothing of real value was achieved that could avert its ultimate demise! Consequently, if Jesus were to later destroy our homes in a cataclysmic conflagration, why waste twenty centuries attempting to salvage them? Jesus, with these words, implied that he lacked the “all power” to rectify the damage without resorting to a drastic solution: the complete incineration of everything. The entire message of the Bible is, to put it mildly, perplexing. God loved the world so much, and now we had another god with all power to assist us, yet soon the planet and its suffering inhabitants would be consumed by a terrible inferno to appease God’s psychological wrath without any alternative solution! Do you believe this new god possessed all power and a loving, holy character?

“For thine is the power” is merely another poisonous fruit from the toxic tree of religion.
