“son of man” (Dan. 8:17), but only because God would personally grant Daniel great understanding, presumably by entering into the soul of Daniel and revealing the future to Him. But, much more than this, God had previously granted Daniel a vision of “one like a son of man,” a human man similar to Ezekiel. However, this time God would hand over His own throne of power and authority to this future “Son of Man” (or “Heir in a human man’s body of flesh”). God chose to grant him “dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and H
is kingdom [is] that which
shall not be destroyed” (Dan. 7:13-14, WEB). Of course, literally all dominion (the right to rule) and all glory (good opinion) belongs solely and exclusively to the Creator and Source of all power and all good. And God’s Law clearly commanded the priesthood of Israel to “to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul” (Deut. 10:12). Yet here God called Israel to “serve” this future “Son of Man” in this way. And only one Authority possesses this “everlasting” right to rule, with a dominion that will “not pass away,” over God’s own eternal spiritual kingdom which begins on earth and will “not be destroyed,” in the way Daniel’s prophecy indicated. And that one is the one God, Yahweh alone. Therefore, this future “Son of Mankind,” born to an ordinary human woman, would not merely represent God in a symbolic way, like Ezekiel did. Rather, this future “Son of Mankind” would actually be God, walking among human beings on earth in a body of human flesh.
The “Son of Mankind,” whom Daniel prophesied about in 7:13-14, was the title Jesus used when He was referring to Himself. And Jesus repeatedly did this, in order to tell the Jews that He was indeed their prophesied Messiah, God incarnate. And most Jews back then would have instantly understood this reference. For most Jews were very familiar with the last-days prophecies during the time of His ministry, since a Messianic fever had spread throughout Israel, chiefly due to Daniel’s prophecies.
That is, Daniel prophesied about the Messiah coming in AD 25, the very year that Jesus began His ministry as Israel’s Messiah and High Priest. For, in Dan. 9:25-26, as previously mentioned, he told us that 69 sabbath years (483 years) would pass from the time a decree was issued to restore the destroyed city of Jerusalem (i.e., not just the temple, but the whole city), until the Messiah would come (i.e., not be born, but actually come to exert His authority). And Artaxerxes issued that decree in 458 BC (i.e., 25 AD – 483 years = 458 BC). This decree of Artaxerxes was the first time, since the start of their Babylonian captivity, that the people of Israel, under Ezekiel’s leadership, were allowed to do what seemed good to them (see Ezra 7:17 and Neh. 2:5), which was to rebuild and restore the entire city of Jerusalem and its walls. Before that decree, they had tried to rebuild Jerusalem, but the Page 849
authorities stopped them (Ezra 4:12-21). Therefore, the Jews counted 483 years from 458 BC and expected their Messiah to come to them in that year, which was the year our calendars call AD 25.
Thus, at the end of this teaching about the Sabbath, Jesus definitely did claim to be Yahweh, the Creator of all that exists. He claimed to be the Son of mankind, whom Daniel had prophesied about, then also claimed that He was the Lord of the Sabbath, the God whom all Israel exclusively served every Sabbath day, the Creator, Yahweh. And, when He claimed this, it was to conclude the line of reasoning He had been using to condemn all those Evangelicals (Pharisees) who were making false judgments, since they falsely condemned His disciples of intentionally breaking the Sabbath, and were inciting the people to stone Him and His disciples to death. So, as you can see, this teaching of Jesus was a very serious matter, involving weighty matters of judgment. And Jesus claimed to the Messiah and God incarnate, whom the world had waited for since the days of Adam, in a severe and dooming authoritative manner, as His proclamation of eternal judgment against those Evangelicals.
Now look at Jesus’ first argument against the false judgment made by those Evangelicals: “Have you people not read what David did when he and those with him needed food, how he went into the dwelling of God and they ate the bread of the offering? This was never lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, except for the priests alone.” Here Jesus was talking about real laws of God, His actual Sabbath laws (e.g., Lev. 24:5-9), not the fake Sabbath laws invented by those Evangelicals.
God commanded the priests to set twelve loaves of bread (i.e., flat loaves, baked without leaven) on a table in the Holy Place every Sabbath day. This Holy Place was a room in God’s tent or temple, where only the Aaronic priests could go. And it was next to the one other room there, protecting the entrance to that other room called the Holy of Holies, where the Arc of the Covenant stood and God’s presence resided. These twelve loaves were displayed “on behalf of” the twelve tribes of Israel, so His people might remember that all their sustenance originated from their God, just as the manna in the wilderness did, and that manna was forever preserved in the Arc. But that manna was actually a symbol of God’s words, the food that fed their spirits. Then these twelve loaves could only be eaten by the Aaronic priests, including the current high priest, and they would have eaten that bread at the door of the Holy Place (possibly on the same Sabbath day it was offered to God). Now, in the days when the Holy Place was still a tent, and David was fleeing from king Saul’s murderous jealousy, David entered the outer courtyard surrounding God’s tent, presumably while four young men with him waited outside the gate. Since all five of them were hungry, and likely growing weak, David asked the high priest for five loaves of bread. The compassionate high priest saw that David’s request was urgent, so he gave David the only bread available, five loaves from the Holy Place. And, since those loaves were offered that day, on a Sabbath day, they were hot and fresh (I Sam. 21:3-6).
Therefore, when Jesus mentioned this story about David receiving the show-bread on a Sabbath, He was illustrating how God did allow the breaking of His Sabbath laws at times, even for a relatively mundane reason, such as to satisfy the hunger of the flesh. For God never condemned His anointed king, David, nor the four common men with him. God did not put any blame upon David nor the other four, after they broke both His Sabbath laws and His laws about the showbread. God and His prophets never even mentioned those capital offence to David or anyone else, not once throughout their entire lives, nor at any other time in history. Of course, by pointing all this out, Jesus did not imply that His disciples were equally guilty of breaking any Sabbath laws. Rather, Jesus was simply stating that, if His disciples broke any Sabbath laws due to their hunger, just like David did, then God would judge their innocent motives and intentions, then forgive them, in the same way God forgave David. But, when those disciples plucked grain to eat, because they were hungry, they Page 850
Mat. 12:1-13, Battles With Evangelicals
actually did not break any Sabbath laws whatsoever. After all, Jesus stated that those Evangelicals had “judged the guiltless to be guilty.” And the ones whom He called “guiltless” were His disciples.
So Jesus clearly declared that His disciples were being falsely accused of breaking the Sabbath laws, that they were innocent. Then He also pointed out how eager those Evangelicals were to condemn those “guiltless” men. Those Evangelicals told the people that their malicious, hateful zeal to kill their rivals was a “zeal for God and His Word.” But God did not want anyone in His priesthood to have that kind of unjust and murderous zeal, since God Himself was never vindictive, petty and cruel like them. Rather, God wanted His priesthood of Israel to overlook offences against His laws, like He did, whenever the motives and intentions of the lawbreakers’ spirits were right. For all His laws were spiritual principles for life and love, and were never meant to be used as a means to justify the murder of rivals who exposed the truths which threatened their status and income. For David was actually guilty of breaking God’s real Sabbath laws, yet God compassionately overlooked this sin.
Nor did God ever held David accountable for taking show-bread as food for his flesh when he was hungry, even though this too could have been considered an offence worthy of death as well. So here Jesus was simply reasoning with the crowds standing near those lying Evangelicals, telling them that God is merciful and just to those who break the Sabbath, even due to their needs of the flesh, in the same way God was with David and his four companions. God never sought them out, to condemn and punish them. Throughout the Scriptures, the only times God condemned Sabbath breakers were when they deliberately flouted His Sabbath laws, either through greed or out of spite, when they refused to love and serve God on the Sabbath day, and only served themselves for their selfish gain.
Then Jesus pointed out another Sabbath law of God, one which the Evangelicals refused to consider, even while insisting that they were fulfilling the role of Aaronic priests in their daily lives. Those Evangelicals knew that the Messiah would usher in a new priesthood, to serve God in the symbolic way that the Aaronic priests did, with the Messiah Himself serving as their High Priest. And this is why they were so eager to pretend they could fulfill the role of the Aaronic priests. Therefore, Jesus reminded those Evangelicals: “Or have you people not read in the Law that, for the Sabbath services, the priests in the Holy Place are causing the Sabbath to be for [their] common daily activities and they are innocent. Now I reason with you that one greater than the Holy Place is here.” Since only the Aaronic priests could enter the Holy Place (ἱερός), and these priests baked the show-bread on the Sabbath, as well as many other menial tasks on the Sabbath, such as butchering animal sacrifices, stoking fires, cooking meat and so on, then ate some of that showbread and meat, they essentially did works for themselves, which God forbade on the Sabbath. Yet God commanded them to do these very things, and judged them to be “innocent,” free from all guilt regarding any of those works for themselves. For God commanded them to do those works because they symbolized His works for the benefit of His beloved people. They represented how God would provide the bread of heaven to feed their spirits, that is, the personal counsel, teaching and training of their elect spirits by His Holy Spirit. And God would also sacrifice His own sinless body, as their Messiah, to feed the lives of their souls, which were so hungry for forgiveness and a restored relationship with Him. All the Sabbath works of the Aaronic priests revealed God’s loving attributes and all the just principles that He taught in His Law. All those Sabbath works were very important for the education of His people.
Now the Evangelicals of that day knew all this, far better than the poorly taught church people of our day do. For they heard the Scriptures read every Sabbath and also lived at a time when all those Sabbath works were actually done by the priests in the second temple. And they also intensely studied every detail of God’s Word for hours during the week days, throughout their lives. Then, during the interactive teaching time of every Sabbath service, men would also challenge their views, Page 851
and they would need to cite the Scriptures to prove their beliefs. This helped to keep some honest, but the most aggressive deceivers were able to cunningly twist the Scriptures in ways that seemed to support their lies, and those public meetings actually became an opportunity to lead many souls into errors and sins. So these Evangelicals were literate and well-read, men who discussed God’s Word at their dinner tables on a daily basis, or as they walked down the road together, as the most frequent subject of their conversations, since God had commanded them to do this (Deut. 6:6-9). So they could not use the excuse that they falsely condemned the guiltless because they were ignorant of God’s Word and God’s ways. God is patient with most Evangelical pastors and church members today are extremely ignorant about Him and His words. But God could not justly excuse those Evangelicals of their ruthless, vile sins of attempting to murder innocent men through the abuse of His laws, just to save their illicit positions of power and their stolen income from His people. Even if some of those lying Evangelicals tried to use the excuse of ignorance, their stubborn insistence on maintaining their self-serving false beliefs made it all an arrogant wilful ignorance, a refusal to hear inconvenient truths through evil motives and intentions, which made them guilty in the eyes of God.
All these Evangelicals knew the prophecies about the Messiah and had heard at least some reliable, sound, true explanations of those Scriptures. And only Jesus fulfilled literally all those prophecies from God, which clearly described this first advent of Israel’s long-awaited Messiah. Yet those fake Evangelical rabbis wanted to usurp the Messiah God’s role as the Head Teacher and Judge of God’s priesthood. And many worshipped (esteemed and served) only human gods, for their own selfish reasons, refusing to hear the truth from Jesus, from the only man in history who could possibly be their Messiah God. All these people remained wilfully ignorant, even after witnessing this true Messiah’s just and loving miracles worked through the omnipotent power of His Holy Spirit. So it was because they all knew that the Holy Place guarded the entrance to the Holy of Holies, where the Spirit of God promised to always be present, that Jesus said to them, “Now I reason with you that one greater than the Holy Place is here.” For they knew their Messiah was to be God. Jesus was the Holy of Holies, the presence of the one Creator God among them. Since the only place greater than the Holy Place, which guarded the curtained entrance to the Holy of Holies, was the Holy of Holies, Jesus was here claiming to be God’s presence in Israel, since that was what the Messiah was to be.
Now, if we look at how Jesus illustrated the attributes of Yahweh, the God of the Bible, and compare that to all the pagan myths, legends and concepts of their own gods walking among men in bodies which looked like human beings, we see a huge difference between the two. For one thing, those pagan gods were vain, commanded mortals to worship them, and would use their magic powers to side with a vain mortal, usually a psychopathic elite member of a warrior class, to help that mortal murder and destroy through vengeance. In contrast, Jesus looked extremely humble and ordinary. He did not command anyone to bow before Him, led all to the love and service of their Father by His own example of worshipping the Father, then used His power to serve the most common and lowly of the people in the land, to heal and restore their lives through His love for them. Jesus never had a statue made in his likeness, shunned glory and esteem as a worthless waste of time, and never killed His enemies, much less any innocent souls. Jesus never seduced or raped mortal women like those highly honoured and worshipped pagan gods did. Jesus never rewarded psychopathic kings and other wanna-be human gods with filthy lucre, slaves and despotic power, like those pagan gods did. And it was because Jesus did none of these evil and outright demonic things, like the gods of pagan myths did, that humanists, not even those ancient Evangelicals, refused to believe He was God incarnate.
But, from the days of Adam until now, the just, loving, real God of the Bible always personally and humbly served His people and the rest of His creations. Yahweh was never anything like any of the Page 852
Mat. 12:1-13, Battles With Evangelicals
impassive, impersonal and outright evil gods invented by the humanists or the other pagans. And Jesus is the real God described in the Bible. The Spirit of life in Jesus is just, loving and dedicated to serving His elect children. Jesus came to enable each elect spirit’s propensity to love in a just and equitable way. But those humanistic Evangelicals, and the rest of Satan’s world order, were striving to enslave them, or drive them into poverty and ruin, into the periphery of society, or outright kill them. For all those humanists and pagans came to set up their hierarchical systems, where they could plunder and exploit their siblings whom they forced into their “inferior” classes, and murder anyone who did not fit into their system. And the gods of those humanists were invented by psychopathic deceivers in their own images, or were demonic spirits. Thus, the doctrines or “moral” principles derived from the words and actions of those false gods were unjust, ruthless and evil, no matter how much they disguised those lies as truths from messengers of light, in their oppressive communities.
We need to realize this, that those Evangelicals preferred the glorious, powerful pagan-like gods to the humble spiritual and physical realities which Jesus taught and exemplified. They only wanted a pagan-like messiah, a ruthless, unjust and thoroughly psychopathic pagan god to mercilessly and indiscriminately murder or enslave Gentiles through blind vengeance, as well as all the others who did not believe the same lies they did. For they longed to be glorified, together with that pagan type of god. And they assumed that a pagan-like messiah would come to physically conquer, so he could grant them wealth and slaves. A pagan-like Messiah must slaughter even the innocent elect among the Gentiles, then reward them with despotic power over all the world. The influence of pagans, and especially the Greco-Roman humanists, was very powerful, corrupting their souls until they blindly twisted their perceptions of the Scriptures to conform to those lies. It transformed them into carnally minded, irrational, deluded fools. This is why Jesus concluded with a statement about the real God.
Knowing the Evangelical expectations for a pagan-like messiah, Jesus capped His reasoning with this bold statement: “So, if you people had effectively understood what this is: ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice,’ you people would not have judged the guiltless to be guilty. For the Son of mankind is Lord of the Sabbath.” Here Jesus exposed those Evangelicals as a people who did not understand anything about the real God of the Bible. He said they were ignorant souls who knew nothing about God’s loving mercy, but only desired pagan-like rituals which sacrificed what they plundered from their victims, so they could feast in self-indulgent revelry. And, since they worshipped pagan-like images of Yahweh, which they fashioned in their own biased and ignorant minds, all their thinking was corrupted and ruthless. As they deluded themselves, as they esteemed and served those unjust images of fake gods in unjust ways, they judged others falsely and unjustly. Since they emulated those self-serving, enslaving, demonic gods, they became self-serving slaves of those very demons.
Jesus quoted the first clauses of God’s words in Hosea’s prophecy: “For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings” (Hos. 6:6, WEB). Although temple sacrifices and offerings were commanded by God in His laws, they were symbolic references to truths, illustrating the attributes and desires of God. Thus, literally all His laws, even His ceremonial laws, were equally important. For they either taught His just and loving principles directly, or else symbolized that knowledge and wisdom. Thus, all His laws were rendered absolutely worthless if they were practised in ignorance of God and His ways, such as without any recognition of God’s compassionate mercy worked through loving justice. His laws could not be rightly applied without the knowledge of the just, loving God who revealed them, because all His laws were to be applied in the way that God Himself applied them, not according to self-serving desires for personal gain.
First and foremost, God wanted just and loving mercy, the wise kind of mercy that emulated the way in which He showed mercy to all who repented into the truth. And this kind of merciful, loving Page 853
justice, based on the attributes of God’s Spirit, could only be achieved through a deep knowledge of Himself. And a knowledge of God and His inner nature was, in Old Covenant times, best learned through the symbolic laws of ritual sacrifices and offerings. So this quote reinforced the concept of God’s mercy for David’s breaking of the Sabbath laws through his need for food. God saw David’s innocent motives and intentions when broke those ceremonial laws, then instantly forgave him. And God’s mercy for David, whose human spirit personally knew God, illustrates how we need to know God’s attributes, character and ways before we start condemning souls for breaking Sabbath laws, or any other laws. Rather than mercilessly trying to get Jesus’ disciples stoned to death for breaking their man-made additions to God’s Sabbath laws—through a petty jealousy of Jesus’ popularity and because He exposed their hypocrisy, as well as because Jesus did not live up to their expectations for a pagan-like messiah—those Evangelicals should have looked at how the Sabbath laws were all about serving the God who had been lovingly serving them, and the rest of His creation, since the very first Sabbath day in Adam’s time. Then they would have seen how ugly and evil they had become, and would have repented into the truth. Then they might have started to rightly interpret God’s Sabbath laws, and would have seen how Jesus’ disciples did nothing wrong. Or, even if the disciples actually did break some Sabbath laws, because they were hungry, they would have had mercy on them. Then they would have realized that those disciples were following the real Messiah and God, in a new priesthood which was the reality of the old Aaronic priesthood and all God’s Law.
Jesus concluded that, if these Evangelicals had “effectively understood” what God said through Hosea (as indicated by the pluperfect or past perfect indicative form of γινώσκω), then they “would not have judged the guiltless to be guilty” (οὐκ ἂν κατεδικάσατε τοὺς ἀναιτίους, where the aorist form of καταδικάζω means they had already judged, passed a guilty verdict and condemned them to be sentenced to a punishment, without the just trial that God’s Law required for all). So Jesus, their Messiah and God, their supreme Judge, judged them to be completely guilty of making a false judgment in a way that disobeyed God’s Law. For God’s Law said, “... if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother; then you shall do to him as he had thought to do to his brother. So you shall remove the evil from your midst” (Deut. 19:18b-19, WEB). Thus, since these Evangelicals wanted a sentence of death, a stoning for breaking the Sabbath laws, those false accusers could have been stoned to death themselves, according to God’s Law. And those who went along with those false witnesses and false judges, God’s Law also said: “You shall not spread a false report. Don’t join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness” (Ex. 23:1, WEB). So those blind followers of the blind leaders could have been judged with the same judgment, if they did not repent into the truth. Those who stubbornly condoned and upheld the lies and injustice of those fake Evangelicals could also have been stoned to death for their wilful ignorance. For the time being, Jesus had mercy and gave them time to repent. Yet, if they did not repent into the truths about the real God and His just, loving ways, they should remember that He will judge them on the last day, after they cast off their flesh. For Jesus came to fulfill God’s Old Covenant laws, not to nullify them.
Although Jesus came to fulfill all God’s Law, He did not demand that those falsely accusing and wilfully ignorant Evangelicals should die by being stoned to death. For God’s Law required that the guilty must first be taught the truth and given a chance to repent into that truth. After being granted that truth, and a reasonable amount of time to think, and to ask enough questions that they might eventually see how their sin were hurtful and wrong, their spirits might be filled with godly sorrow, which would lead to repentance and fruits of repentance. Then the repentant sinner may actually help to counter the bad effects of one’s sins, or repay the losses caused by them. A sinner might even become a blessing to one’s victims, and restore one’s relationship with God. This was to be the first Page 854
Mat. 12:1-13, Battles With Evangelicals
and foremost result sought in every biblical judgment. Only if a deliberate sinner stubbornly refused to acknowledge or even hear the truth, much less repent into the truth, and even tried to justify his or her sins, could that one be punished, up to the maximum penalty allowed in God’s Law (although as much mercy as possible had to be applied for all extenuating circumstances, which usually meant that lesser sentences would be applied for the ignorant, or for the deceived, or for those whose motives and intentions of their spirits were not entirely loveless and evil). Since Jesus was God, the Lord of the Sabbath, He knew the Sabbath laws, as well as the laws about making false judgments.
And He knew their hearts too. So He could have instantly sent the ruthless, inwardly evil and totally unrepentant among those Evangelicals to hell on that very day. Yet He also obeyed God’s laws which required this biblical kind of judgments, in a trial with evidence and elders teaching truth, in a way that gave the accused time for that truth reach their spirits. So He did not use His almighty power to instantly kill those sinful and ruthless Evangelicals, but waited until they could be tried fairly in either a just and biblical court on earth, or on the appointed judgment day. And we do the same.
The reason the truly elect disciples of Jesus will never join any kind of vigilante group, to kill or even threaten “sinners,” is because we follow the example set by Jesus. And we know that many souls are falsely accused through lies. Therefore, we demand just and biblical trials, with much cross-examined evidence and qualified, unbiased elders who are able to teach the truth to sinners, and who also practise the biblical systems of justice, allowing for mercy and repentance. This is also why Jesus gave some of His disciples over to the ministry of visiting souls in prisons, so those men and women might lead sinners into repentance, or else find and free those who were falsely judged.
His disciples are not to physically and spiritually care for their own needs alone, but also for the needs of their siblings in humankind, and even all living creatures upon God’s earth. And all that we say and do must be based upon knowledge and wisdom originating directly from God, so we might be able to answer all the questions in the hearts of our sibling, for all awakening elect spirits whom God grants an opportunity to repent into the truth. Still, there are many sinners who are not God’s elect, whose spirits were born of Satan and can never repent, because their spirits hate the truth and love only the darkness of their personally preferred lies and delusions. So Jesus has been separating the elect from the non-elect throughout the centuries, since His first advent. And now that process is drawing to an end. As we see Evangelicals in this last century flocking to psychopaths like Hitler and Trump, we know that the false churches are being exposed as the fakes they always were. So the true elect are now being warned to leave those fake churches. Soon the earth will tremble as the sixth seal is opened and a great revival of the Messiah’s true church will occur, suddenly, taking the hypocrites by surprise. Then the elect who are redeemed on earth will see Satan’s world order crushed into dust.
Now it is time to start practising the refreshing and uplifting rest offered by the Lord of the Sabbath, who is Yahweh, our God living in our Messiah, Jesus. It is time to enter His Sabbath rest, seven days of the week and forever, like the Aaronic priesthood did, because we are the New Covenant’s royal priesthood of God. And this Sabbath rest cannot ever allow us to selfishly labour for mere earthly inheritances, nor to provide selfish privileges for our children. True priests, true disciples of Jesus, exclusively serve our God Jesus, seven days per week, and never take a day off to work for selfish ambitions of any kind. This rest from slavish goals and striving to get ahead in Satan’s world order also means that we cannot serve that devil’s appointed wanna-be human gods, nor give anything to vain hypocrites in the fake churches. Rather, it means that we should do all kinds of just and loving works, as citizens of God’s kingdom, and do all as unto our Lord Jesus, striving to glorify His name through all that we say and do. We need to use all the wages of our labours for just, loving and God-Page 855
like works, such as caring for our families in lawfully modest ways, while providing for the needy, as well as paying taxes to governing bodies which do good works that serve all of God’s creations.
The Second Evangelical Attack
Jesus had just finished rebuking some of the nameless Evangelicals in a small and forgotten town, at a place near a common grain field. And the malicious, self-important souls there, spending so much time and effort to gain a little delusional status, have all since come to nothing. Yet their wicked deeds against Jesus, their maligning of the words of the Messiah God, will be remembered forever, even after the world ends. For in that place, the Evangelicals tried to convince the people that Jesus and His disciples broke the Sabbath and should be stoned to death. But, apparently, enough of the true elect realized that Jesus spoke the truth, and refused to allow any stoning of anyone on that day.
So we know that some elect knew that Jesus and His disciples were not guilty. Instead of lying and insisting that the guiltless did what they actually did not do, like Evangelicals do to this day, those elect allowed Jesus to reveal God’s intended meaning and wise applications of His Law and His Word. Those elect let Jesus prove that the Sabbath laws did not tolerate the petty and ruthless rules and regulations that those Evangelicals invented, which their fake church was practising and even violently enforced against everyone they could possibly find an excuse to judge unjustly. So some elect responded to this truth about God and His ways, which Jesus taught. And these elect held back those non-elect Evangelicals, who strove to do the will of their father from hell. In other words, they nullified the works of the devil, which is a work of God in which all the elect must partake to some degree. But notice, of all the places Jesus could have chosen to go, after this event, He decided to enter the very synagogue which was being corrupted by those Evangelicals who lied in an attempt to murder Him and His disciples. “He went into their synagogue” (ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν αὐτῶν).
Matthew did not actually tell us which town or what synagogue this was. We only know it was in Galilee. It could have been Chorazin or Bethsida (i.e., the towns near Capernaum whom Jesus had previously rebuked for not repenting, see Mat. 11:21). But the exact location does not really matter, since all the synagogues in Israel during that time were suffering from a similar famine of God’s Word, from the same lack of spiritual nourishment. All were weak and downtrodden by the same kinds of exploiters keeping them enslaved with the same kinds of false doctrines, with similar lies and delusions. So Jesus went to this particular synagogue because He knew there was at least one elect soul whom He had to rescue from the hands of those devious and psychopathic church leaders in that particular church. The heavenly Father within Jesus sent Him to save His elect souls there.
At the same time, Jesus obviously knew beforehand that this church had been firmly seized by the enemy, totally enslaved by lying Evangelicals. So, when the teaching time began, these cunning Evangelicals took the opportunity to once more try to convince the people to stone Jesus and His disciples to death. And those Evangelicals were indeed plotting “how to kill” Jesus (ὅπως αὐτὸν
ἀπολέσωσιν, Mat. 12:14). They were not just seeking to discredit Him, as some think. These were plots to murder Him. And they had nearly succeeded, just prior to the Sabbath services that day. So, while doubts still remained in the minds of some people, it was an ideal time to strike again. Now all these sons of the devil knew that Jesus miraculously healed many souls. And, right then, there was someone suffering from a physical disability in their midst. So they thought, since Jesus always had compassion on the elect who were drawn to Him, and because this loving disabled man seemed to be looking for Jesus, with faith in Jesus’ words and hope in his heart, they chose use the “weakness” of their Messiah’s loving compassion for this elect man. They wanted to use Jesus’ mercy for one of the heavenly Father’s suffering children to destroy Him. Thus, “in order that they might have been able Page 856
Mat. 12:1-13, Battles With Evangelicals
to charge Him with an offence” (ἵνα κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ), they asked their Messiah: “Is it lawful to heal during the Sabbath services?” (Εἰ ἔξεστι τοῖς σάββασιν θεραπεύειν;). Then, no matter what their omniscient God said, they were confident that they could trick the people into murdering Him.
Naturally, these malignant Evangelicals were totally convinced that absolutely no Scripture could ever be used to justify healing anyone during the Sabbath services, because they thought they were so cunning and persuasive that they could twist any words of God into a fake “proof” of their lies.
Now the primary purpose of their Sabbath services was actually supposed to be to help their people gain a right understanding of God and His Word. For, in all the Scriptures, as well as throughout Israel’s history, God clearly and frequently indicated that His highest priority for His people was teaching them about Himself and His ways. Thus, since all that might distract His people from a correct knowledge of His truths was to be counted as relatively trivial, these Evangelicals reasoned that anything that did not focus solely upon their false interpretations of God’s Word should be forbidden during their church services, even the loving works of God, such as His miraculous and compassionate healings—even though these works of God illustrated truths about God’s loving and compassionate attributes, the same truths which God taught about Himself in His Word. Of course, in reality, actually teaching God’s real truths was the furthest thing from their minds. All they really wanted to do was to ensnare the people with their lies about God’s Word, so they could maintain an autocratic control over those lives. They abused God’s Word to preserve their arrogant status and strong influence over a people whom they taught to worship them as human gods. So they thought that, by pointing out God’s priority for the teaching of His words during the Sabbath could be used to trap their God Jesus, since God’s love worked by Jesus would surely compel Him to heal that suffering disabled man on that Sabbath day. For they had been watching Jesus, and already saw Him heal many souls on Sabbath days, even when His body was so exhausted that only the compelling love of His Spirit kept Him going. So they waited, certain that Jesus would heal him that very day.
So they used this “weakness” of Jesus, His compassionate love which compelled Him to to heal that disabled man, as a trap. For they could use it as a clear example of Jesus intentionally breaking their man-made Sabbath laws. Then they could further distort God’s Sabbath laws in ways that would cause the people to stone Jesus to death, without a fair trial, without allowing Him to explain the true meaning and intent of God’s actual Sabbath laws. And, since everyone in that synagogue would witness this “crime,” they could justify their false accusations by saying they were all witnesses of that “crime.” Then they would reason that none of those witnesses could possibly refuse to apply the maximum sentence which God’s Law allowed for this capital offence, even without any fair trial.
However, those Evangelical seemed to conveniently forget that God’s laws only provided those maximum penalties for the accused who deliberately broke those laws through malicious intent, with thoroughly wicked motives, and without any sign of the spirit’s repentance into the truth. For God Himself judged in this way. Whenever God judged anyone who committed any kind of sin, even sins with a maximum penalty of the death sentence, He completely forgave those who unintentionally sinned, as well as those whose spirits changed the intentions of their hearts through repentance. And God also gave lesser sentences to those who committed capital offences through various levels of mixed motives and intentions, such as through some degree of ignorance, coercion, deception, weakness, incapability and so on. In some cases, God simply caused a few days of hardship for one who committed a sin worthy of the death penalty, until they repented into the truth, and required no further punishment. For God never commanded any kind of minimum sentences. He always gave sinners the opportunity of receiving full forgiveness through the spirit’s repentance, although a sin sacrifices or offering was also required in Old Covenant times. And forgiveness was invariably Page 857
accompanied by complete atonement, a total restoration of the sinner’s relationship with God. And His forgiveness, with His atonement, forbade anyone from requiring any further penalty for the sin.
There were many times when the Scriptures provided examples of God totally forgiving sinners, even those who committed capital offences, without requiring any penalty for their sins. There were also many occasions when God considered extenuating circumstances, and required a penalty which was far less than the maximum penalty He stipulated in the “case laws” He gave to Israel through Moses. Therefore, since all were to judge in a way which emulated God’s just, equitable, merciful and loving judgments, we are all duty-bound to provide for the full forgiveness of sins through true repentance, or to sentence a sinner to less than the maximum penalty if extenuating circumstances warranted it. And most devout Jews of that day knew this. So this was the first obstacle that those cunning fake Evangelicals had to face. For it would be very difficult to convince the true elect Jews in their church, those who knew God’s Word, that Jesus should be stoned to death for healing a man.
Clearly, their attempt to unjustly judge Jesus, with the hope of applying the maximum penalty for breaking the Sabbath laws, without first conducting a fair and biblical trial, and without considering a lesser sentence, might have hindered those maliciously plotting Evangelicals from carrying out their plan, no matter how “brilliant” they thought it was. For they would need to distract the true elect from many teachings found in God’s Law, and deceive them all into believing that a lack of a fair trial, as well as condemning Jesus to the maximum death penalty, was God’s will. However, they would not be able to trick God Himself. And the Spirit of God was able to speak to the spirits of elect souls. Therefore, some elect souls did consider it a sin to try and kill Jesus without a biblical and fair trial, and to enforce an unjust and excessive penalty for lovingly healing a suffering man. So these elect turned against those ruthless Evangelical, and tried to hinder or stop their wicked plans.
There were always some elect Jews, who knew that every serious accusation must be judged by impartial elders who heard all the evidence, including evidence which proved the sinner’s motives and intentions. Then true judges gave the sinner a chance to cross-examine all the evidence against him or her, or acquire experts who could do it. And they had to let the accused present his or her own evidence of innocence, and explain the reasons for one’s actions. Then, if a court found the accused to be guilty, it had to give the accused a chance to repent into the truth. Only if the accused did not repent, the just judges handed down a just sentence, yet one which accommodated all sound reasons for a lesser sentence. And there were some elect who knew all this, who realized that the accusation against Jesus was based solely on questionable man-made rules, which questionable rabbis added to God’s Sabbath laws. And, if they were found guilty of condemning someone based on additions to God’s Law, then they would be far more guilty than the accused. After all, adding to God’s Law, in ways that falsely portrayed those added man-made laws as though they were God’s laws, would be a great sin of the third order, even a capital offence. For adding unintended meanings to God’s Law, or removing any of His intended meanings of His Law, then teaching that those fake laws were God’s laws and ways, was a sin which caused sin (Deut. 4:2), even a sin which resulted in unjust deaths.
Thus, some of the devout and well-taught Jews there that day clearly saw how those Evangelicals were condemning Jesus falsely, based on man-made laws which they falsely claimed to be God’s laws, and also how those Evangelicals took away from God’s laws that required a fair trial. And those awakened elect Jews knew that God considered those sins of those Evangelicals to be a capital offence, worse than murder. Also, those Evangelicals were trying to lure Jesus into committing an act which would offend their man-made Sabbath laws, so they could condemn Jesus, which was a kind of trap that God condemned. For God said, “Cursed is he who leads the blind astray on the road” (Deut 27:18), which was a “case law” illustrating God’s contempt for those who lead others Page 858
Mat. 12:1-13, Battles With Evangelicals
into traps and sins. Yet those Evangelicals obviously put that suffering disabled man in their midst to lure Jesus into healing him on the Sabbath day, so they could accuse Him of breaking the Sabbath, but only in ways that their fake Sabbath laws defined. Then they intended to convince the people that Jesus broke God’s Sabbath laws, which was a lie, which would lead those people into the sin of murdering Jesus, who was an innocent man who did not really break God’s Law. Not only this, but the elect in that Evangelical Jewish church/synagogue clearly saw that the compassion of Jesus, when He healed that suffering man, proved that His motives and intentions were not evil, that He did not hate their just and loving God. Therefore, His supposed sin did not warrant a maximum penalty.
So, when the awakened elect Jews in that church/synagogue saw the sinful plotting done against Jesus by some elders and members of their local church, they would have realized that those elders and rabbis did not respect any truths in God’s Word, and actually hated the real God Himself. The words and deeds of those malicious Evangelicals exposed their duplicity, proved them to be fake Jews. And it was for the sakes of those awakened elect Jews that began to speak. For, instead of exposing all the horrendous evil and hypocrisy of those fakes, Jesus basically ignored the wretched existence of those liars, and reasoned only with those awakened elect souls in that synagogue. The next words of Jesus were simply to confirm what their inner consciences were loudly voicing in their souls, to assure them that all their heavenly Father had written in their spirits was true. He reasoned this with those elect: “Will any person among you, who will keep one sheep, and if this [sheep]
might have fallen into a pit during the Sabbath services, will [that one] not surely lay a hand on it and lift [it] up? Therefore, how much more is a person highly valued than a sheep? So then, it is lawful to do usefully good [works] during the Sabbath services” (Mat. 12:11-12, from: Τίς ἔσται ἐξ
ὑμῶν ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἕξει πρόβατον ἕν, καὶ ἐὰν ἐμπέσῃ τοῦτο τοῖς σάββασιν εἰς βόθυνον, οὐχὶ
κρατήσει αὐτὸ καὶ ἐγερεῖ; πόσῳ οὖν διαφέρει ἄνθρωπος προβάτου. ὥστε ἔξεστιν τοῖς σάββασιν
καλῶς ποιεῖν, SBLGNT). That is, God’s intended meaning of all the Sabbath laws always was and always will be, “do usefully good works during the Sabbath,” during the church services and also throughout the whole day. In other words, the Sabbath was a time to serve God alone, not oneself.
Now, to make sense of the illustration Jesus used here, we need to know more about owning a sheep and caring for it during the Sabbath services back in those days, in early first-century Israel. If a person owned only one sheep, it was likely being kept for slaughter, such as during the Passover season, when they took a lamb into each household. Then, in small rural villages, it seems that a person owning only one sheep would lead it to the synagogue every Sabbath day, and let it graze in the surrounding area while he or she attended the Sabbath services. For those services were very long, and the church family often fellowshipped from mid-morning until after sunset, with lengthy interactive teaching sessions and eating a couple of leisurely meals prepared on the previous day.
Consequently, if an owner left that sheep in the yard at home all day, alone, there was a good chance that it might get itself in trouble or fall prey to some kind of predator, since sheep are not very good at caring for themselves. Of course, the rich had shepherds to tend their larger flocks of sheep while they were at the synagogue. But a poorer person, with one sheep, did not. And, if a poor person lost that only sheep, they usually could not afford to purchase another. To the poor, the cost of a lamb was a great expense. And, if they lost their only sheep, it would ruin their family’s annual Passover celebration, which was extremely important to them. Or it might mean no meat for a lengthy period of time, as well as a significant loss of income that would have come from the sale of the sheepskin.
Therefore, because Sabbath services were very long, but also very informal, with people walking into, out of, and throughout the church/synagogue building, a person could take one’s sheep to the services and was easily able to occasionally step outside to check on it. And a sheep, if it lies down Page 859
near a dip in the ground (i.e., a “pit”), it may fall asleep and accidentally roll over, onto its back. But a sheep’s spindly little legs do not have enough weight or strength to roll itself back to an upright position. So, if someone “will lay a hand on it and lift it up,” the sheep will be trapped in an upside down position. Then, within a few hours, fluid will fill its lungs and suffocate it to death. So here Jesus was saying that anyone with one sheep would surely step out of the Sabbath services to rescue one’s only sheep from this kind of slow death. And this often happened back then, since God’s Law clearly made allowances for such things, and let the people rescue their sheep on the Sabbath day.
Regarding animals, God’s Law forbade His people to use them for any kind of work on the Sabbath day (Ex. 20:10; Deut. 5:14), as a sign that all animals shall also enter the eternal Sabbath rest of God in heaven. But God’s Law never prohibited the feeding, watering or rescuing of animals during the Sabbath day. On the day of preparation (i.e., on Friday before the Sabbath began at sunset), it was preferable to give animals all the food and water they would need during the next Sabbath day. But, in any kind of unexpected emergency, everyone was expected to provide care for their animals and not let them suffer. In fact, God’s Law even commanded them to rescue another person’s animal, if that animal needed help, then return the animal to its owner (Deut. 22:1-4). And this law applied to every day of the week, including the Sabbath day. So, if God gave His people the responsibility to rescue another person’s animal, so the animal would not suffer, surely a person bore an even greater responsibility to rescue their own animals, even on a Sabbath day, to keep it from suffering or death.
Now think about how Jesus gave this example to all the elect who had ears to hear it, as an answer to the false accusations of the fake Evangelicals. And notice how He primarily addressed the poorer elect in the synagogue, while the more prestigious Evangelicals were literally trying to murder Him and His disciples. Our God and Messiah, the Head Teacher of all mankind, chose to focus only upon the poorer elect, those who owned only one sheep, and did not even attempt to convince the self-important elite who held power there. He taught only the lowest in the “cast system” of the steep humanistic hierarchy which existed in that church belonging to Satan’s world order. For Jesus knew that the power of God worked through those marginalized elect more than the devil’s chosen elite, and that God’s power always overcame the unjust powers of the world. Jesus ensuring that the poor and downtrodden knew God’s real intended meaning of the Sabbath laws, so they would not be deceived by the incessant repetition of lies by Satan’s fake shepherds. Jesus shunned those who thought themselves to be something when, in reality, they were nothing. Instead, He proclaimed God’s intended purpose of the Sabbath to the loving and meek. These elect had to know that the sole purpose of God’s Sabbath laws is to dedicate this day entirely to serving God, which is done by serving His creations—not only other human beings, but even animals. All the Sabbath laws of God are fulfilled by performing loving good works for their Creator, which was not a burden for them.
Now I definitely find this teaching about God’s intended purpose for the Sabbath laws to be very wise. But I find it even more awesome to see how Jesus’ chose to boldly step into that synagogue, which was ruled by Satan’s children, then ignore those proud elite ones and calmly teach these truths to the poorer, more ostracized elect souls who needed to hear it. This is not what I would have done.
I would have been far too afraid to enter their corrupted hall, and would have been too nervous and mentally scrambled to teach anything good, much less such a brief, beautifully poignant exegesis of Scripture. My entire focus would have rested on those who were trying to kill me. So, if I did say anything, I would have railed at those monsters with my loud and angry mouth. Yet Jesus calmly and very wisely came to save the elect there, to rescue only them from the burdensome and condemning fake laws invented by men, from the gaslighting of wanna-be human gods. Then, after giving this wise teaching, Jesus deliberately broke the fake Sabbath laws invented by those false rabbis. That is, Page 860
Mat. 12:1-13, Battles With Evangelicals
Jesus healing that disabled man in an open, undisguised and courageous way, before the eyes of all His enemies, during their Sabbath services. And, although this miracle of our Messiah God was truly loving and wonderful, His teachings, equitable ways and bravery seemed even far more incredible.
If we look at the so-called “Christian” churches today, we see how most Mainline and Evangelical pastors and priests insist that the Sabbath day is Sunday, from midnight to midnight. And they say this because the pagan Roman Emperor Constantine—who was the high priest for the pagan cult dedicated to the demon Sun god until the day he died—commanded all churches to worship on Sundays, because he wanted to honour of the pagan sun god as the equivalent of the biblical God, and because he hated God’s priesthood of Israel. And now most churches will even condemn those who worship on the biblical Sabbath, and call it blasphemy, because they too hate Israel. But the fact remains that the Sabbath day was defined by God’s Word as the period of time between sunset on Friday and sunset on Saturday. This always has been and always will be the Sabbath commanded by the Creator God. So all those churches totally ignore God’s Sabbath laws. Yet we must know and try to understand them fully, because Jesus came to fulfill all of God’s laws in us and through us, even the most seemingly insignificant ones, and refused to alter even one tiny punctuation mark within God’s Old Covenant laws. Of course, when Jesus fulfills the symbolic laws in and through us, this means that those symbols no longer need to be practised. However, fulfilling symbolic laws does mean that the realities and messages which those symbols conveyed must be learned and applied.
All the laws which Jesus carefully explained are important for us, critical for our salvation into a just, loving, full and abundant life on earth and forever in heaven. And here Jesus taught us that the Sabbath is a day which we must solely dedicate to doing good works, to serving God alone. When He said that it is “lawful to do usefully good [works] during the Sabbath services,” then did the good and useful work of healing a suffering disabled man, He was telling us to rise up and begin to do usefully good works ourselves, all according to God’s just, loving Law. For the awakened elect are to walk according to what His Holy Spirit is teaching and training their spirits to do. But humanistic churches hate these truths from the Holy Spirit of Jesus, because the wanna-be human gods in those churches practise a pagan Roman religion, including Roman-style lecturing services, where all the inferior souls must turn their entire attention to the worst of sinners blaspheming God from a raised pulpit. And those inferiors must sit silently, never questioning their supposed “superiors,” and must certainly not interrupt those blabbering pontificators by doing any “usefully good works” for God.
Then those human gods, the ones who think they own those false churches, try to disguise all their nefarious motives and intentions, by redefining their self-serving purposes for their fake Sunday Sabbath services. First and foremost, they like to call them “worship services.” And they are indeed
“worship services,” but ultimately for the worship of those human gods, never for the true worship of the real God, not for elect spirits to esteem and server their God within the sphere of all the truths taught in God’s Word. Then they teach that it is a day to rest the body of flesh, because they want all attention turned away from the spirit and toward the flesh. But it is actually a rest for the eternal spirit, a time when an elect spirit can serve only God and forget about the demands of the flesh. But those false churches do not actually even provide rest for the flesh either, since they add fleshy rule upon rule, carnal precept upon precept, all to tax and exhaust the flesh, and call these man-made traditions, “God’s Sabbath laws.” They even obligate their members to give Satan’s invention of money to the church on that fake “Sabbath day.” But God’s true church considered the handling of money on the Sabbath to be offensive to God, because money is a tool invented by Satan to esteem his children in his wicked kingdom, and to oppressively control the lives of God’s people. On top of all this, they also invented other flesh-focusing rules, like not drinking, not working, not helping Page 861
others and a host of other “nots” to practice on their fake Sunday “Sabbaths.” And these fake laws never allow any “usefully good works” to be done. So what can I conclude, other than the fact that almost all churches in our day are mostly like the Evangelical (Pharisaic) churches were back then?
Now, to fulfill salvation and the abundantly loving lives which Jesus came to bring us, we must not forget that the sole purpose of our Sabbaths is to dedicate them entirely to serving God, by doing loving works that are spiritually and physically good and useful for His creations, especially for His beloved elect children here on earth. Furthermore, we must remember that all true Christians are the
“Royal Priesthood” of God, which refers to the symbolic Aaronic priesthood during the Old Covenant times. Therefore, just like that symbolic priesthood, every day of the week is a Sabbath day for us. We are never to work for an earthly inheritance, never for selfish ambitions. Like the Aaronic or “Royal” priesthood, our only inheritance is to be the eternal Spirit of God Himself.
Not even one day of the week should be used for “our own works,” for our own profit or for our own esteem. Instead, like the Aaronic priests, all seven days of the week must be treated the same, all as Sabbath days dedicated solely to doing “usefully good works” in God’s name, that is, according to God’s will and for His purposes alone. Every day of the week is a Sabbath day for the new and real
“Royal” priesthood of the High King and High Priest, Jesus the Messiah. And this is what we now call the “church,” a noun derived from the Greek adjective κυριακός (“belonging to the Lord,” to Yahweh God, to Jesus), and means that our lives are dedicated to serving Him alone. Every day must be dedicated solely to serving our God, by doing loving, just, usefully good works in His name. We are called to ultimately serve God’s purposes in even our most common daily works, through our manual labour and our sedentary tasks, and learn from His Holy Spirit how to rightly help people and animals in times of need. This is how Jesus came to fulfill the Sabbath laws in and through us.
Mat. 12:14-21,
Fake Evangelicals Shunned
“But the Pharisees went out, and conspired against Him, how they might destroy Him. Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed Him; and He healed them all, and commanded them that they should not make Him known: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
“‘Behold, My servant whom I have chosen; My beloved in whom My soul is well pleased: I will put My Spirit on Him. He will proclaim justice to the nations. He will not strive, nor shout; neither will anyone hear His voice in the streets. He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until He leads justice to victory. In His name, the nations will hope’” (Mat. 12:14-21, WEB).
In both of their previous attempts to kill Jesus and His disciples, the Evangelicals (Pharisees) failed.
After trying to destroy Israel’s Messiah and God twice, after they were unable to nullify His ministry of salvation for all the elect on earth, those lords of pseudo synagogues were forced to withdraw in utter defeat. And their defeat shocked their vain little hearts because, before Jesus came, they had always been able to defraud the elect through their adept use of carnal and emotional rhetoric. Now Evangelical frauds often tell different kinds of lies to gain support from illicit secular powers, like Hitler and Trump, from the criminal psychopaths who steal lives, wealth and land through their own kinds of lies and through brutal violence. And those secular rulers like to divide their people with lies that grow irrational fears and paranoia in their dupes, in the same ways that those fake religious leaders do, so their dupes will then act irrationally and kill for them, to maintain the power of those Page 862
Mat. 12:14-21, Fake Evangelicals Shunned
liars who have promised to “save” them from the non-existent things they are deceived into fearing.
So today’s illicit, psychopathic secular wanna-be gods terrify with lies such as telling the people that vaccines are an infringement of their rights and will cause men to become sterile, or that white people are superior to their browner skinned brothers and sisters. And, back then, the psychopathic fake gods, like Herod, told their dupes very similar lies such as his power alone could make men stronger and more fertile, and that the Jews were superior to their elect brothers and sisters. And their dupes accepted these lies, which appealed to their self-serving flesh, as absolute facts. Then the fake churches also repeated them, so the dupes thought they were truths from God. But the impossible happened! When Jesus came, their dupes began to doubt the lies of both religious and secular liars.
Now, somehow, the psychopathic wanna-be gods could not make their penned in little elect sheep serve their whims any longer, and could not even manipulate them into a doing them a little favour like murdering their own Messiah, the incarnate God. How could this be? How could those religious and secular fakes lose power over some of their dupes like this? After all, in the past, they could always turn the elect against their own brothers and sisters, could always easily pull the strings of their elect puppets and cause them to torture and kill one another, to keep them weak, to keep their spirits from hearing their heavenly Father and casting out the usurpers of His earthly kingdom. And these psychopathic enslavers and murderers knew, with all certainty, that it was their right to become gods who owned God’s people and God’s lands, because the lying devil gave them this right. Their father from hell infallibly confirmed, in their tiny dark spirits, that they were indeed gods, even the most awesome of all human gods, infinitely superior to all other classes and categories in their own imagined hierarchies, especially far greater their elect dupes, than their livestock who still had some
“irrational feelings” of love and justice. Their people existed only for their own pleasure, and were to be consumed by them at will. So they had no right to believe real truths and demand real justice. For those psychopaths knew that their hellish father would never lie to them! Thus, it must be true that they are superior gods. Therefore, when the elect refused to obey them and help them seize their rightful throne from God, they were dismayed by the insolence of the elect who sided with their God Jesus. How could these most high human gods allow those inferiors to deny their right to commit insurrection against God? Surely those stupid elect sheep, whose spirits woke up to the truth, who thwarted their plans by refusing to kill the real God, were worthy of most tortuous kind of death!
This betrayal by the sheep which those psychopaths stole from God was unimaginable to those bitter, deluded, dark souls, and their raging minds between their legs would not tolerate it. For they felt that all their dupes should be duty-bound to bow before them, and must remain blindly loyal to them. For both the religious and secular wanna-be gods were copies of their hellish father, and truly believed they were predestined to be worshipped by all. They were just like their brothers who came after them, like the future popes, priests and pastors who laboured together with despotic secular kings, or with fascists like Hitler and Trump. For Satan himself confidently assured them that they were gods, and that all the inferior people around them, especially the just and loving elect, owed them unquestioning fealty. They were firmly convinced that all those worthless, inferior souls were not only obligated to lay down their money and minds as sacrificial offerings before their own very obvious magnificence as gods, but should also murder and plunder from others for them. They should believe every lie their owners uttered. Thus, any who rebelled against those human gods should be sentenced to a painful death. How could they not kill whomever their gods commanded them to kill? How dare those lowly scumbags refuse to serve their whims! Thus, clearly, it was now time to gather all remaining faithful sons of the devil, both the religious and secular ones, so they could all take counsel from their esteemed father. Since their father was a liar and murderer from the Page 863
beginning, he would know what to do about this Messiah, this God incarnate. He would have the power to help them lie and murder, to conspire against and destroy both Jesus and His salvation.
So these Pharisaic Evangelicals naturally joined with the Herodians (Mark 3:6). After all, these religious psychopathic human gods considered themselves to be the brothers of those loyal “patriots”
called the Herodians, because those other secular psychopathic human gods served the Herodian dynasty and the psychopathic foreign rulers of Rome in the same way they did. Since both hated the biblical justice and freedoms taught by Jesus, and the spirits of both kinds were born of the same hellish father, they made good allies—although, like all the non-elect who ever existed or ever will exist, these heirs of the devil from both fraudulent institutions could just as easily kill each other too.
“So, after the Evangelicals departed, they took counsel against Him, [regarding] how they might destroy Him” (ἐξελθόντες δὲ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συμβούλιον ἔλαβον κατʼ αὐτοῦ ὅπως αὐτὸν ἀπολέσωσιν, SBLGNT). Fake churches back then worked together with the “patriotic” dupes of secular despots in the same way that today’s fake churches work together with the dupes of Trump and Putin, to murder those who speak the kinds of truths which set God’s people free from them. Meanwhile, Jesus had better things to do than wait around to engage in endless, futile debates with those sons of the devil.
So, instead of sitting on a pew, twiddling His thumbs until His enemies returned to kill Him, Jesus left their synagogue. For He still had much work to do for the salvation of His elect siblings. He had to teach the spirits of all the elect about what the Father prepared for them. For God was actively working inside many elect hearts, opening the eyes and ears of their spirits to the truths which Jesus proclaimed. Not only this, but many of those elect needed physical healing, even freeing from evil spirits who were continuously plaguing their thoughts with guilt, fears, depression and confusion.
Now that Jesus effectively freed the elect in that particular synagogue from their slavery to human gods, it was time to move on. “But Jesus, having known [that the Evangelicals were busy plotting against Him], withdrew from there. Also, many followed as serving disciples for Him. Then He healed them all. And He censored them, in order that they might not make Him publicly known” (Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς
γνοὺς ἀνεχώρησεν ἐκεῖθεν. καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ πολλοί, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτοὺς πάντας, καὶ
ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ φανερὸν αὐτὸν ποιήσωσιν, SBLGNT). But why would Jesus “censor” the people (ἐπιτιμάω, “express strong disapproval of someone, rebuke, reprove, censure also speak seriously, warn in order to prevent an action or bring one to an end,” BDAG3)? Why did He stop them from making Him publicly known to others? Well, once again, Matthew told us why: “so that the [literal] words through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled” (ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἠσαΐου
τοῦ προφήτου, SBLGNT). Then Matthew paraphrased the passage from Isaiah that Jesus referred to, which was a prophecy about the end times, about the days just before the Messiah’s second coming:
“Behold, the [trusting child-like] Servant whom I chose, for whom My soul was pleased to ponder. I will set down My Spirit upon Him, and He will declare justice for the benefit of the Gentiles. He will not strive nor will He cry out. Neither will anyone in the broad places
[where the secular masses gather] hear His voice. He will not break a reed having been damaged and He will not extinguish a smoking flax, until He might cast out judgment unto victory.
Then [Gentile] nations will hope in His name” (Mat. 12:18-21, from: Ἰδοὺ ὁ παῖς μου ὃν
ᾑρέτισα, ὁ ἀγαπητός μου εἰς ὃν εὐδόκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου· θήσω τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπʼ αὐτόν, καὶ
κρίσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἀπαγγελεῖ. οὐκ ἐρίσει οὐδὲ κραυγάσει, οὐδὲ ἀκούσει τις ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις
τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ. κάλαμον συντετριμμένον οὐ κατεάξει καὶ λίνον τυφόμενον οὐ σβέσει, ἕως
ἂν ἐκβάλῃ εἰς νῖκος τὴν κρίσιν. καὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ ἔθνη ἐλπιοῦσιν, SBLGNT).
Page 864
Mat. 12:14-21, Fake Evangelicals Shunned
This paraphrased version of this Messianic prophecy (Isaiah 42:1-4), which is found in Matthew’s comments, seems to have been his own Greek translation from the Hebrew Bible. Yet Matthew only chose to quote part of the last verse (i.e., Is. 42:4) from this prophecy, and he also used a direct quote from the Septuagint for the last clause. But the entire last verse or sentence written in the Septuagint was actually something like this: “He will take up [the cause] and not be crushed until He might lay down judgment upon the earth, then Gentile nations will hope in His name.” Yet Matthew chose to only quote the part which stated, “Then Gentile nations will hope in His name.” As for the original Hebrew text, which is more accurate, the entire verse can be translated something like this: “He will commit, without being discouraged nor weak, until islands [i.e., in Hebrew, “islands” refers to Gentile lands that are far from Israel, even those which technically can be accessed by land routes] hope in a sound verdict from the Torah/Law of God, [everywhere] on earth.” So the two versions are different, and Matthew chose to quote only the broader interpretation in the Septuagint, regarding the Messiah’s effect on Gentiles.
According to the Septuagint, Isaiah prophesied that the Gentile nations will hope in the name of the Messiah. But, in Hebrew, Isaiah actually prophesied that islands (far off Gentile nations) will hope in the Messiah’s sound verdict from the Torah, meaning they would hope in His judgments based upon God’s Law. Yet, either way, this hope would rise up in the future end times. So why did Matthew paraphrase the Hebrew text in the rest of this quote from Isaiah, but choose to use only one part of the Septuagint’s translation for the last verse? Presumably, he did this because hope in the Messiah’s name meant hope in His judgments and verdicts, because His name held the authority and power to judge. But hope in His name also implied a broader kind of hope, hope in all His other works, even in all His attributes. Hope in His name includes what the Hebrew text declared, and much more. He was implying that some Gentile nations will hope in the power and justice of His judgments against the wicked on earth during the end times, but also in His love, redemption and all else that is of Him.
Now think about why Matthew quoted this end-times prophecy. It was to explain why Jesus had censored the people, “in order that they might not make Him publicly known.” Obviously, Matthew considered this prophecy to be about Jesus. But it prophesied about how some far-off Gentile lands would become truly Christian nations one day, that the governing officials in those lands would be true disciples of the Messiah Jesus. They would become just and godly lands, placing their hope in Jesus, during the future end times, while God’s devastating end-time judgments crushed Satan’s world order, just before the Messiah returned to heal and restore the world as its sovereign King. So what did this have to do with Jesus censoring the people? How did the two verses in this prophecy explain why Jesus did not want the people to publicly proclaim that He was their Messiah and King?
Well, two of the verses nested within this end-time prophesy (Is. 42:3-4a) are about the years just before the Messiah’s second advent, and were actually about His first advent and the years leading up to His second advent. That is, when Jesus came the first time, Isaiah prophesied that He would
“not strive nor will He cry out. Neither will anyone in the broad places hear His voice. He will not break a reed having been damaged and He will not extinguish a smoking flax.” So Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would come and would not judge the world, not until His second coming. First He would come without striving against the wicked, without crying out against them. His first advent would not judge the enemies of God in the public places. And, the damaged souls in the world, as well as those with a weak and smouldering flame of faith, would not be broken nor extinguished, since He would come the first time to save them all. Then, after all this, in the end times, He would come again to “cast out judgment unto victory.” Before the Messiah judged the world in wrath, and before He returned in victory, Isaiah prophesied that this same Messiah was going to simply serve His elect in a very unaggressive, gentle and mild way, without striving for fame, glory, political Page 865
power or any such things. He was not going to try to grab attention by crying out in the large public places where the secular masses gathered, in order to stir them up so they would support His cause.
He would not ask souls to lay down their lives and fight a physical war for His victory, with the weapons of Satan’s world order. He would not come to raise a mighty army that would fight to gain total power over all the world, all marching behind His gloriously robed presence, under His banner.
Isaiah portrayed the first coming of the Messiah as something which would be nothing like the behaviours the so-called “great” pagan kings. For those pagan despots loved to crush even the healthy and strong “trees,” any who stood above the rest of the people. Rather, when the Messiah came the first time, He would not even cause further harm to the already-broken souls, to the mere damaged “reeds” still struggling to stay alive in lowest places in the land, where stagnant ponds had formed. The pagan human gods oppressed the truth, and hated anyone with zeal for God. Then they snuffed out every torch who burned too brightly with the fire of God, any who exposed the injustice and sins of those self-serving hypocrites. But, when the Messiah came the first time, He would not hinder nor suppress the truth. Rather, He would be the greatest of those burning brightly, the light of the world, exposing all wickedness. As for those unable to burn brightly, who could only manage to smoke and smoulder with a tiny spark of faith, always labouring for things of the flesh, never fervent in seeking God and His justice, the Messiah would let that one live. Jesus will not extinguish that smoking flax, but fan it into bright flames, so one’s life shone with God’s light of truth and love.
During the entire time of the Messiah’s first advent, from the day John baptized Jesus as Israel’s true and permanent High Priest until the day of His second advent, Jesus would remain a gentle and mild King, who laboured to heal all elect spirits. Until He returned, Jesus refused to strive against all the ambitious glory seekers sent by Satan, and would not cry out to gain political power. Neither would any of His true disciples do such things. For they all respected His command, His censorship which kept them from using the methods of Satan’s world order. Instead, Jesus inside them would simply work justice, proclaim and teach both spiritual and physical truths, feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, heal the sick and cast out oppressive and depressing demonic influences from plagued souls.
It is now more than two millennia after His first advent, and we are still waiting for Jesus to “cast out judgment unto victory.” Nevertheless, Jesus has long since started to establish biblical democracies, Gentile “islands” who strive to judge equitably and justly, in ways that fulfill the laws of the Torah.
So it will not be long before Jesus shall come again with His condemning wrath upon the earth, His fiery judgments against the world’s psychopathic injustice, inequity, violence, callous greed, selfish self-esteem, sexual exploitation, apathy and other loveless deeds. Plagues of the sixth and seventh seals will soon devastate the despotic economies of the world, who employed Satan’s invention of money to steal from the poor, so the devil’s chosen children can be worshipped and live in entitled and self-indulgent opulence, while the masses starve. And, after the most painful world-wide events in all history, after six of the seven trumpets have sounded and the slaughter of most souls on earth is completed, Satan will raise up his own wicked messiah, the “beast,” so he can make one last stand against God, for the preservation of his world order. That devil will be allowed to cause the beast’s seven European cultures to become the dominant world power, that is, after some nations will have formed truly Christian governments in the troubled years before that time. But Jesus will only give that beast seven suffering years, only enough time for the beast to prove that all the ways of his world order are unjust and demonic. Then Jesus will cast the beast into hell, after destroying his evil kingdom, as well as all who worshipped him (by placing his name or his symbolic number on their hands or foreheads), even all whose hearts preferred the unjust ways of the world order and refused to uphold God’s just and loving ways. On that day, Jesus will descend upon the Mount of Olives, Page 866
Mat. 12:14-21, Fake Evangelicals Shunned
bringing many resurrected elect with Him. He will walk across the valley to the temple in Jerusalem (which will be rebuilt by that time), and cease the destruction of His judgments. Finally, Jesus will
“cast out judgment unto victory.” At last He will restore the devastated earth to a far better and more beautiful condition than it has ever seen since the days of Adam and Eve. And Jesus will rule the world through loving justice, appointing His most mature disciples as trustworthy teaching judges.
Mat. 12:22-37,
The Unforgivable Sin
“Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to Him and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. All the multitudes were amazed, and said,
‘Can this be the Son of David?’ But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, ‘This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.’
“Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, ‘Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
“‘Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who doesn’t gather with Me, scatters.
“‘Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is to come.
“‘Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit. You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things. I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned’” (Mat. 12:22-37, WEB).
One of the first things we may notice here is how Jesus said: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?” Yet Satan’s kingdom has always been divided, and always will be. For the only way the devil can maintain his power over his demons and his children is by turning them against one another, forcing them to compete and strive against one another, just to win his favour and his worthless rewards. And, as Daniel prophesied, Satan’s kingdom will be as strong as the iron in their murdering swords, but it will also be divided (Dan. 2:41). Thus, it will inevitably fall. So here Jesus was not only eternally condemning those children of Satan, but was also prophesying about the inevitable doom of their divisive, self-made religious institutions. They had been striving to build mini empires for their own glory within their hellish father’s factious kingdom. And now the dark little spirits in the cores of their beings had just Page 867
slandered the loving and just attributes of God’s Holy Spirit in Jesus, by defaming the loving and just works done through His pure Spirit’s core inner desires. And they did this to try and turn the people away from God, so those people would remain captive to their lies and exploitation. But all their labours in deception and theft were in vain, since it is impossible for any institutions in their father’s kingdom to remain standing for a long time, because all are divided and soon brought to desolation.
Here Jesus revealed why all the non-elect throughout history will go to hell, yet also alluded to the fact that all the elect are predestined to spend eternity in the third heaven, working beside God, their Father and oldest Brother. And two conditions prompted Jesus to give these teachings: (1) Leading spokesmen from the Evangelical church of the Pharisees committed an unforgivable sin against God’s utterly holy Spirit again, and (2) the Jewish elect had now heard enough teachings of Jesus to be able to understand exactly what He was talking about. This teaching began after Jesus had cast an oppressive demon out of a man’s soul. That demon had attacked the man’s mind of flesh, likely because the man began to see things which made him question the traditions of Satan’s world order, including the religious organizations belonging to that devil. Then he probably started to verbally reason with others, and perhaps even himself, about the foolishness of those destructive teachings and practises. This is likely why Satan sent a demonic spirit to make that man blind and dumb. But Jesus cast that demonic spirit out of his soul, so he could again see the truth and reason through it.
When Jesus cast out that demon, the Evangelicals were jealous, because Jesus drew the attention of their exploited dupes away from them, even toward the loving grace and truths of their real Creator God. So, when the people began to reason among themselves, about whether or not Jesus actually was the “Son of David,” their long-awaited Messiah whom their God promised to send for their salvation, this was too much for those Evangelical wanna-be gods to bear. For, if the spirits of their dupes began to wake up and worship the real God, and no longer heeded the carnal tripe pouring out through their mouths, then their dupes would stop sacrificing their money and their lives in their worshipful service of those Evangelical gods. Then they would lose their income and fake status.
So those Evangelical had to think of some lie to distract their dupes away from the loving and real incarnate God, a deception which would turn their minds of flesh away from Jesus and stifle both the sight and hearing which their elect spirits had begun to develop. They required some form of fear-mongering which would terrify their irrational and superstitious minds of flesh enough to make that flesh rebuke and silence their inquisitive and rational elect spirits within the chambers of their souls.
And, of course, since the hellish father of those Evangelicals was always with their spirits in their hearts, that devil inspired them to blurt out a very fiendish, terrifying lie. With all the power of that unholy spirit, those Evangelical leaders stood on a soap box and loudly announced to all, “This one is not casting out demons except in the [authority of] Beelzebub, ruler of the demons” (Mat. 12:24, from: Οὗτος οὐκ ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια εἰ μὴ ἐν τῷ Βεελζεβοὺλ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων, SBLGNT).
Just like many of today’s Evangelicals will maliciously deem God’s truth, God’s justice and God’s compassion to be “Satanic communism,” all for the purposes of political and financial gain, and thus blaspheme the Holy Spirit themselves, the ancient Evangelicals did the same thing. But it is hard to fully appreciate the cunning nuances of this unforgivable lie without a little background information.
For one thing, we should realize that the term “Beelzebub” was a derogatory reference to the devil, meaning ‘lord of the flies,’ because human flies are attracted to filth and death, and so is their hellish lord. Thus, to convince their dupes that they were actually good men who hated their father, Satan, these cherished sons of that devil, and even that demon’s own spirit who dwelt in their hearts, chose this term. These Evangelicals did the Nazi spies would do, to help their human fly. Nazi spies, as they walked among Hitler’s enemies, would utter all kinds of insults about Hitler, to outwardly look Page 868
Mat. 12:22-37, The Unforgivable Sin
like they hated Hitler, although they were completely loyal to him and sought his favour by killing and sabotaging the common people. Likewise, these faithful servants of Satan wanted the people to think they hated the devil. So they used a derogatory term referring to him, so their dupes would not suspect that they were co-conspirators with the devil and his oppressive world order, so they would think they were on God’s side, and trying to keep elect souls safe from all kinds of demonic attacks.
No doubt, just as many were fooled by the Hitler-insulting spies sent by Hitler, many elect were also deceived by the same ploy used by those whom Satan sent from his fake Evangelical churches back then. Yet any soul with an ounce of truth in them would recognize that those sons of the devil were actually trying to trick dupes into thinking God was Satan, and that Satan was God. Those wanna-be gods were striving to make the people believe that all the good words and works of their loving incarnate God were evil, and that all their own demonic, psychopathic, deceiving words and works were good. For those fake pastors were just like most demonic deceivers before and after them, like most Evangelical and Mainline church “leaders” today. Satan has been sending his spies to every generation in history. So, if we want to know what they were like, we can simply observe the church
“leaders” who are trying to convince us that the oppression of fascists, like Hitler and Trump, is true freedom; that patriotism is a traitorous treachery which serves those despots; that the compassionate salvation of Jesus necessitates racism and psychopathic cruelty; and that “Jesus” is the name of the liar and murderer whom they worship within their churches. Yet God’s Word has always identified their god as the malicious spirit called “Satan.” For they all do what their father, the devil, has done from the beginning. They fill souls with darkness. They strive to convince the elect that they must live only for the desires and rewards of their flesh, and not allow their spirits to love, nor pursue the spiritual and physical realities which God created all around them. Yet Jesus disciplines elect flesh that does not love the truth, whose spirits do not resist their lies. For God shall hand their minds over to the delusions they pursue, to all the destructive deceptions spewing from Satan’s diseased mouth.
So Matthew illustrated how preachers, sent by Satan, had been acting with relative impunity in most of the Evangelical (Pharisaic) churches of that day, that is, until Jesus came. No one was able to stop them from corrupting and destroying the people, from uttering their self-serving lies and taking captive the elect for their own profit and pleasure. By that time, those deceivers felt that they could teach any blasphemy they desired, and do whatever they wanted, that no one could stop them from keeping their foolish, infantile, elect sheep captive in their pens, so they could slaughter and eat their flesh according to their whims. Then, when the incarnate God confronted them, those church leaders did the usual. They prayed for the power their father’s unholy spirit to assist them in proclaiming effective lies against the genuine Holy Spirit of the real God. And their father gladly obliged. And they expected to succeed, as they always had. But this incarnate God spoke two parables, and His Holy Spirit’s power exposed their sinfulness, then proclaimed their impending doom, in terms which even their dark, little, irrational, deluded minds of flesh could not ignore nor suppress and nullify.
Now we must understand that these parables of Jesus, about thieves coming to plunder the strong, and good trees versus bad trees, were not actually arguments to counter the lie of the Evangelicals, not merely to illustrate how irrational it was for them to say that Satan cast out demons. For it was blatantly obvious to Jesus’ true disciples that Jesus cast out demons through God’s power to heal and to restore His relationship with human souls, through God’s core attribute of forgiving love. So Jesus had no need to further illustrate such a thing. Thus, His parables were for different purposes. Jesus was prophesying that God’s judgments would fall on those lying frauds. Those blind, narcissistic, machiavellian psychopaths would not escape hell. And, with these two parables, Jesus also defined two types of souls. The bad were able to commit the kind of spiritual sin that these fake Evangelicals Page 869
did, by lying about Jesus, by saying His Holy Spirit cast out demons through Satan’s power. But the good could not believe such a lie, since their spirits saw Jesus mercifully restore demon-controlled souls to sanity, enabling them to comprehend spiritual and physical realities again, so those enslaved souls could then worship the real God in their spirits and in truth. The good knew this certainly could not be done through Satan’s power. Only the bad kind of soul could believe a lie like that. The spirits of the good kind recognized the spiritual realities surrounding the deeds, and could never let their mouths of flesh proclaim that God’s just love and mercy were evil. Jesus wanted His disciples to know this, that a dichotomy of human spirits existed. Jesus had to make His Father’s elect children understand that there were other kinds of human beings who could slander Him and His Holy Spirit.
Jesus Rebukes Satan’s Factious Kingdom
Now we can meditate on Jesus words about divided kingdoms (Mat. 12:25-28). And we can start by examining the historical and cultural context, together with His reasoning. In those days, like today, there were some elect Jews whose spirits still loved in a just and pure way, whose souls could never fully believe the lies of the fake Evangelicals trying to deceive them. These true elect still practised the Old Covenant ceremonial laws, but they only followed those rituals as an opportunity to meditate upon them, to further understand the attributes of the real God, to remember how and why God did His works for His priesthood of Israel in the past. Those symbolic ceremonial laws illustrated how God loved their ancestors and still loved their descendants. So these elect did not superstitiously perform those rituals, nor follow the man-made rules and precepts of the fake Evangelicals, in order to earn God’s favour by blindly performing physical deeds. These truly elect souls never thought that God’s wrath would fall on them if they did not grudgingly performing physical rituals, like the non-elect pagans did. Only deluded pagans believed that their ruthless demon gods required them to delude themselves with physical nonsense to prevent their worshippers from ever becoming aware of spiritual realities like justice and love built on truths. And these elect spirits of these Jews knew that only unrepentant, unjust motives and intentions of the heart made the real God angry. Meanwhile, these elect saw how the spirits of those fake Evangelicals wanted their dupes to walk only according their minds of flesh, just like the pagan idol-worshippers did, because those liars could most easily manipulate the mind of flesh with their dark lies and manufactured anxieties. Consequently, many elect utterly rejected those fake Evangelicals and their pagan influenced doctrines of carnal worship.
So Israel, in the days of Jesus’ first advent, held a remnant of faithful elect. Yet many still remained in the false Evangelical churches, since their small towns provided nowhere else for them to hear the Scriptures being read. And the spirits of this remnant wanted to meditate on God and His ways. So their spirits longed to hear God’s words, which stimulated and fed their souls. The the holy Creator Spirit was always faithful to them, and met with their spirits when His Word was read, to teach and train their spirits. For God loved these elect, and sent His Spirit to them. Then God worked through much of what they said and did in their daily worship of Him. Yahweh made their lives and works effective for the spiritual and physical benefits of the people and their land, while they served Him.
Even when the honest infantile elect spirits these Jews confronted the far more powerful evil spirits who took captive the souls of their brothers or sisters, God stood with them, and God’s power would often cast out those demons. For God’s power would even work through His faithful elect who were still trapped in those fake Evangelical churches. Thus, the other elect souls in the Evangelical Jewish churches of that day, even the elect who had been conned and corrupted by their false teachers, would highly respect and love those few remaining faithful elect whom God was teaching, training and working through. Of course, the fake Evangelical liars sent by Satan were jealous and hated that Page 870
Mat. 12:22-37, The Unforgivable Sin
remnant of faithful elect. For those non-elect human gods hated and feared the real God, whose Spirit rested upon the faithful elect. The fake Evangelicals also knew that all effective works of God came with the truths of God too, truths which freed souls from their enslaving false teachings, since that truth exposed their impotence, arrogance, exploitative ways and self-contradictory lies. Yet the fake pastors tolerated some faithful elect among them, as long as those loving souls remained in the background, and silent enough to allow them to do their exploitative works, without exposing their lies about God and His words. Then, since the humble faithful remnant had no inclination to strive for power and status, those awakening elect simply sat at the back, distancing themselves from the arrogant, confidently pontificating liars on centre stage, hiding from those glory-seeking wanna-be gods. And the demonic “heads” of the churches were satisfied with this marginalization of the elect.
Then there was also another reason for the vain human gods of the fake Evangelicals to tolerate the elect who were beginning to know the real God. That is, the egos of those fake Evangelical leaders could steal credit for any good works and miracles done by God through those true elect souls. The human gods of those fake churches, who had usurped God’s throne in those churches, would tell everyone that it was because of their godly and adept leadership that those faithful elect did all their good works, and could even cast out demons. Thus, they not only stole God’s Headship, but also stole God’s glory. But the good opinions of the people should not have been given even to those faithful elect who laboured in those works, since those elect did all their works through the counsel, teaching, training and power of God alone. And the spirits of those awakening elect did not really want any of the glory for themselves either. Yet the non-elect spirits of those fake Evangelicals did want glory for themselves, as they pretended to be gods and paraded the truly elect workers of good in front of all the dupes in their captive congregations, so they could then climb on their high pulpits and proclaim fake thanksgivings to God, loudly expressing false gratitude to God for supposedly making them so wise and capable, even enough to steal and enslave all the souls in their churches.
Since the few faithful elect knew that only God deserves honour and glory, they gladly refused to take much praise for themselves, then continued to focus on diligently serving God through their God-given love and concern for their brothers and sisters of the world, while praying, meditating on His words, spending the precious moments of their lives with God and one another as their holy sacrifice. Only this filled their hearts with eternal joy and made them worthy of God’s praise. Yet, the church leaders, who wanted to be gods ruling over God, told everyone that glorifying and serving themselves, that is, worshipping those fake heads of those false churches, was the worship of God.
The Evangelical pastors taught their dupes that esteeming and serving them, as well as giving them money, were works of God, and a form of worshipping God. They reasoned that, since they were the only ones who managed all the works done through God’s church, then even the truly good works done by their captive faithful elect were actually their works. And this is why they kept some of the faithful elect captive in their fake churches. The only reason those exalted human gods allowed some true elect to sit quietly in the dark corners of their fake Evangelical kingdoms, as marginalized slaves in the periphery of their churches, was to gain a false reputation for themselves. Using the truly good works of those elect as examples of their noble and just leadership, they could pretend to be genuine
“servants of God.” Sometimes those liars would even cozy up to those true elect, engage in friendly banter, and put on a show feigned affection, calling them their “brothers” or “sons,” and try to build a “bond of trust” with them, although the only thing those fake rabbis, pastors and priests really wanted was to prevent the elect from exposing their hypocrisy and lies. Of course, in reality, the faithful elect, who actually did the real God’s loving and effective works, did all this solely through the true teachings and the power of the real God. And God only taught and enabled those faithful Page 871
elect for one reason, because their spirits heard Him and spurned the lies of fake pastors. As God was awakening those elect spirits, they saw through the pretenses so adeptly acted out by fake pastors.
So, basically, fake pastors in those Evangelical (Pharisaic) churches of that day were exactly like the false pastors of Evangelical churches today. They produced pseudo-biblical rhetoric, took credit for the few real works of God done by the few truly faithful souls held captive by them, and some even manufactured fake miracles or prophecies. And they did all this to fool people into trusting them, so those naive souls would think they were “servants of God,” so those dupes would worship them, so their deceived “inferiors” would esteem, serve and pay them. Then, for a few centuries after the true apostles died off, fake Evangelical Gentiles did the same. But, after this, the early fake Evangelicals matured in Satan, joined together, and became the only church. Yet, of course, their Roman religious kingdom was led by the devil, who loved to pit one elite human god against the other, and cause each to war against the other, for his own entertainment. Thus, this was a factious kingdom within Satan’s world order. Meanwhile, God was also working upon the earth, instilling truths in elect souls to counter the lies of that fake humanistic church. Thus, some truer churches, who loved God and His words, rose up. So the fake church had to multiply itself, in order to war against those truer churches, to corrupt, divide and conquer them. So, the one fake church gave birth to very many fake Evangelical churches, all of whom will later join their mother in their mother’s works of spiritual harlotry. And, just like the fake pastors of the first century Evangelical churches continuously would accuse Jesus of casting out demons by the power of the devil, literally all the fake Evangelical and mainline churches since then have also been slandering the works of God’s Holy Spirit. Whenever God’s works of just, equitable love and compassion are done, especially in a way which illustrates God’s loving and forgiving attributes, fake churches vilify them. They slander all truths illustrated by those effective works which benefit God’s people and His creations, and they severely blaspheme the God whose power, teachings and love causes those works to be done and those truths to be revealed.
This is why Jesus rebuked the past and present Evangelicals. Matthew wrote: “Now, having known and understood their ways of thinking, He said to them: ‘Every kingdom, after having been divided against itself, is being brought to ruin. Also, every community or home, after having been divided against itself, will not stand. And, if Satan is continuously casting out Satan, he has been divided over himself. Therefore, how will his kingdom remain standing? And if I am casting out the demons in the [power of] Beelzebub, in whom are your “sons” casting [them] out? Through this, they will be judges of you. So, if I Myself am casting out the demons in the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has already arrived [to establish its position of authority] over and against you’” (Mat. 12:25-28, from: εἰδὼς δὲ τὰς ἐνθυμήσεις αὐτῶν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Πᾶσα βασιλεία μερισθεῖσα καθʼ ἑαυτῆς
ἐρημοῦται, καὶ πᾶσα πόλις ἢ οἰκία μερισθεῖσα καθʼ ἑαυτῆς οὐ σταθήσεται. καὶ εἰ ὁ Σατανᾶς τὸν
Σατανᾶν ἐκβάλλει, ἐφʼ ἑαυτὸν ἐμερίσθη· πῶς οὖν σταθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ; καὶ εἰ ἐγὼ ἐν
Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν ἐν τίνι ἐκβάλλουσιν; διὰ τοῦτο αὐτοὶ κριταὶ ἔσονται
ὑμῶν. εἰ δὲ ἐν πνεύματι θεοῦ ἐγὼ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, ἄρα ἔφθασεν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ, SBLGNT). Now let us look at exactly what Jesus was declaring in this carefully worded Greek text.
Jesus started by explaining why the false pastors were uttering nonsense, by applying sound logic against their clearly false accusation. He taught a couple of gnomic expressions (statements which indicated universal, timeless or general truths). Both statements employed a form of πᾶς and an aorist passive participle form of μερίζω, followed by the prepositional phrase καθʼ ἑαυτῆς, then a clause using a passive present or future tense verb, to describe an inevitable effect or result. That is, Jesus pointed out the obvious, that “every” kingdom, community or home, “after having been divided against itself,” will not remain standing, that is, unless it heals its divisions. Any factious Page 872
Mat. 12:22-37, The Unforgivable Sin
body is actually engaging in the process of being brought to total destruction and ruin. Yet literally all bodies that Satan has infiltrated or conquered become factious, divided by selfish warring egos.
Now those ancient Evangelical liars, for almost a year before Jesus spoke these words, had been continuously spreading the lie that He was using the power of Satan to cast out tormenting demonic spirits from the minds and souls of thousands of elect Jews and Gentiles, leaving them freed from Satan’s oppressive darkness of delusions and lies, free to worship the real God. And His use of the present tense form of ἐκβάλλω was clearly meant to be durative, to not only indicate that He was continuously casting out demons, but also that those false pastors were often accusing Him of casting out demons by the power of Satan. Therefore, Jesus reasoned that, if this lie could somehow be true, then Satan would be schizophrenic and continuously opposing himself, always divided against himself. For we know that every demonic spirit obeys Satan with terrified reverence, and only ever does Satan’s will in Satan’s name. So it stands to reason that, if Jesus was continuously casting out demons by Satan’s power, then Satan was effectively casting out representatives of himself from all those demonically influenced people, freeing souls from himself, so they could all worship God. And, if this were true, Satan clearly would be divided against himself. So how could his kingdom, which was ruled through his absolute and unquestioned despotic authority, remain standing for so long? If Satan opposed himself in this way, his kingdom would have fallen long ago, even in the days of Adam. Consequently, this lie from those false pastors could not possibly be true!
Then Jesus made a statement which revealed exactly how well Jesus saw the evil in the spirits of those lying false pastors, how much He actually “knew and understood [their] ways of thinking”
(i.e., as indicated by the phrase εἰδὼς τὰς ἐνθυμήσεις). But Jesus was not trying to reason with those sons of the devil, since He knew they were incapable of acknowledging any truths and, therefore, were utterly incapable of understanding any kind of sound reasoning or rational logic. Thus, Jesus was preaching this only to the remnant of awakening, truly faithful, devout, just, loving Jews who had been flocking to Him, and only because He realized that these faithful ones were forced to attend local churches overcome by corrupting servants of Satan. For, as mentioned, there was often no other synagogue they could attend within a reasonable walking distance. And synagogues were the only places they had access to the Scriptures. Besides, Jewish communities obligated them to attend church services. So the faithful were effectively trapped in those fake churches led by humanistic wanna-be gods. Since they had no means of transportation, and could not attend a more biblical synagogue farther away, and finding a faithful synagogue was almost impossible in those days, the elect disciples of Jesus had no choice but to grudgingly sit in the back pews of those false churches.
Aside from preachers like Jesus and His apostles, local churches provided the only exposure to God’s Word that could be obtained by the people, since none could afford to purchase one’s own copy of the Scriptures (which cost about two or three years of an average working man’s wages). So the elect heard God’s words in those synagogues, with their whole hearts and souls, but then had to endure the fake elders droning on about how everyone must follow the man-made rules which they heaped upon other man-made rules, so their people would focus all their attention upon things of the flesh. At the same time, those devious little fake pastors always ensured that they befriended some truly elect souls, and greeted a few with broad smiles and a friendly conversations about innocuous subjects like the weather. For all those false pastors needed to look like the caring spiritual “fathers”
of the entire flock, including the faithful elect whom they hated, so the others in their church would not suspect that they were hypocritical psychopaths. Those liars were forced to associate with some of the just, loving souls who often exposed their hypocrisy during the interactive teaching times. And those fakes were also obligated to acknowledge and even praise the works God done through those Page 873
faithful ones, so that those frauds could steal credit for at least some real good works done in their fake churches. Those esteemed “fathers” of the churchy ones would often call the faithful ones their
“sons,” to outwardly appear more closely connected to them. But, of course, those liars also would instantly turn against those faithful elect too, as soon as they could invent a quasi-believable lie to condemn them. For they all wanted to violently persecute those honest faithful souls who dared to expose their lies and hypocrisy in ways that harmed their status or income. In the meantime, those fake “leaders” ensured that they had friendly conversations with those elect, about neutral subjects.
And the same is true today. Fake priests and pastors still try to steer their conversations to neutral subjects when they talk with the awakening elect. They refuse to discuss anything except subjects like sports or the price of rice in China—although they occasionally try to insert a few words about God so that they will appear to be devout, but only shallow and trite teachings which literally everyone, even Satan, would acknowledge, such as the superficial and strictly material greatness of God. Then, to outwardly appear compassionate and loving, they might add how sad it was that so-and-so was sick or died. Sometimes those ruthless human gods may even shed a few crocodile tears, and pretend to empathize with the trials and woes faced by the faithful ones, to “prove” how much they “love” them. Yet they studiously avoid any actual works that can truly help those suffering souls, and will never take the time to discuss God’s deeper and more comforting truths, nor explore how God’s wisdom can provide real solutions for their problems. The same is true for all the churchy disciples of those fakes, who follow them only to gain delusions of self-esteem and income from them. They too will pretend to be friendly, and also avoid conversations about deeper truths, about the real God and His true teachings. So the awakening elect in those churches often need to keep silent about those deeper truths and about God’s real wisdom, lest they might incur the vengeful wrath of those fake pastors and their dupes in the church. Thus, Jesus had to tell those suppressed and oppressed elect souls how to escape from their captivity in those fake Evangelical churches.
So, after Jesus used irrefutable logic to expose the irrational lies and hypocrisy of those fake rabbis, He alluded to the true elect in their false churches. For He had to grab their attention, so they would see how those fakes were using and abusing them. Looking into the eyes of those fake pastors, He terrified them by stating: “And if I am casting out the demons in the [power of] Beelzebub, in whom are your ‘sons’ casting [them] out?” This indicated that our God Jesus was fully award that at least some elect and truly faithful elect remained in their false synagogues, and that He had indeed been lending His power to those faithful ones, even working powerful miracles through them. For casting out demonic spirits from the minds of beleaguered souls is one of the greatest miracles of God, and can only be done through God’s power alone. Furthermore, Jesus’ words also suggested that those Evangelical false rabbis were calling those faithful ones their “sons,” which was a custom of fake rabbis who liked to be perceived as the spiritual “fathers” of their duped and deluded victims. For, by calling them “sons,” those fake pastors could steal all the credit for the labours of the quiet, humble and faithful ones, in the same way a biological father is often praised for the successes of his son.
So those fake pastors were artificially stealing credit for the great miracles which God did through His true elect children, through those whom God recognized and gave His approval, even so much as to lend His utterly holy presence to them, so they could cast out demons. And those fake pastors certainly did not want to lose any of that credit, which they so diligently sought to steal from those whom they falsely claimed as their spiritual “sons.” For they never did anything worthy of God’s praise themselves, and desperately needed some real good works to brag about, lest their duped people might see exactly how useless and godless they actually were. Therefore, those compulsive liars dared not lie about God’s power working through those whom they claimed to be their “sons,”
Page 874
Mat. 12:22-37, The Unforgivable Sin
and would never slander their “sons” by saying they cast out powerful demonic spirits by the power of Satan. For, if those fakes did that, they would have literally nothing good left in their churches that they could use to falsely portray themselves as “servants of God.” Without the ability to boast about those few good works done by their duped elect captives, everyone would soon discover that they were selfish, wicked, worthless, useless fakes. Thus, Jesus trapped those fake pastors, knowing they were forced to admit that their “sons” had cast out demons in God’s name, through God’s will and God’s power alone. Then Jesus closed the trap: “Through this, [the elect] will be judges of you.”
Those liars had to publicly admit that God only worked through the truly faithful elect, to do works like casting out demons, and that God refused to work through those fake pastors themselves. God refused to work through those fakes to do even any of the lesser miracles. Yet all those truly faithful elect were no longer calling themselves the “sons” or disciples of those fake pastors. Rather, literally all of those awakening elect were currently following Jesus, as His disciples. All those elect realized that Jesus was speaking the truth from God, and that Jesus was doing the works of God. Those elect even saw how Jesus did powerful miracles, even the great miracle of casting out demons, in His own name, which must mean that He was the true Messiah, that is, the Creator’s Spirit dwelling in a body of human flesh. God the Father, who continuously taught the minds of their elect spirits, was leading all those just, loving and faithful elect directly to Jesus. And those “sons,” who had now turned their inward eyes toward Jesus, were the ones whom those fake pastors most wanted to lead away from Jesus. For the useless wanna-be gods had already prevented all their non-elect dupes, as well as their worldly elect dupes, from trusting Jesus. For it was always easy to get those fools to believe their lies and reject the real truth, to cause them to hate the real God. Only the faithful elect, those who were doing their good works through the God-given and God-taught love of their spirits, were drawn to Jesus. So these were the only ones those liars still needed to turn against Jesus. Yet all those useful faithful ones, and all the good works of God they did to bring those liars so much esteem, were now recognizing their Messiah and God. Those awakening elect were even daring to openly reason with the sleeping elect, and starting conversations with questions like, “Can this be the Son of David?” So they severely threatened the good reputations of those fakes, which they built upon the good works done by those faithful elect. Thus, it also threatened their income, status and careers. When those devious little despots heard such things, they thought they could frighten those faithful elect “sons”
away from Jesus with their lie. But now Jesus proved their lie to be completely irrational, and was even using the testimony of all those faithful elect “sons” as a condemning judgment against them.
Yet that was not the only judgment those liars would face. Jesus then proclaimed: “So, if I Myself am casting out the demons in the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has already arrived to establish its position of authority over and against you.” Here Jesus used the aorist form of the verb φθάνω, which indicated an already completed action, and meant: “to be beforehand in moving to a position, come before, precede; to get to or reach a position, have just arrived, then simply arrive, reach” (BDAG3). So Jesus was indicating that the kingdom God had already arrived, that is, when He began His ministry as Israel’s Messiah, as their High Priest and King. This arrival was a completed action. He also indicated that His kingdom had strategically moved into an offensive position, that it was above and ruling over those liars, even as an unconquerable enemy falling down upon them. For it was the kingdom of the omniscient and omnipotent God. Thus, it was impossible for them to outsmart or overpower either His kingdom or its King. Consequently, when Jesus looked those liars in the eyes and said His invincible kingdom had already established a position “over and against you” (ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς), Jesus was clearly warning them that they were in deep trouble, that they had done something that would certainly and invariably result in their total and inescapable annihilation.
Page 875
Another Reason for Their Condemnation
Jesus did not stop with a warning about the doom of false churches in the divided kingdom of Satan on earth. For the fake pastors did not just tell a lie to slander Jesus. They did not merely commit a sin of the ninth order. Rather, they deliberately attempted to deceive souls and turn them away from both God and God’s truth, all for their own personal profit and pride. And, on top of this, they wanted the people to worship them, to esteem them and heed their words, instead of esteeming the real God and heeding the truths of God through love. And they did all these works of hate and deceit through the intentions of their spirits, with loveless, self-serving motives. This was not done simply through the ignorance and lusts of their flesh. No! For even the self-centred flesh could see the advantage of someone like Jesus, with the power to heal and cast out demons. Clearly, the very spirits of these liars plotted the slandering of God’s good works, for evil spiritual purposes, in order to usurp the rule of God over the spirits of the people. Thus, their very spirits were committing sins of the first three orders with entirely wicked intentions and evil motives, in a way that no other spirits, except the devil and the human spirits the devil created, could commit. Thus, Jesus gave a parable to the elect, an illustration to help us comprehend what these fake pastors were trying to do with their vile lies.
Jesus declared: “Or how is anyone able to enter into the house of the mighty one and seize his useful equipment, unless He might have first bound the mighty one? And then his house will be seized. The one not being in an agreeable relationship with Me is against Me. And the one not gathering [souls]
together with Me, in an agreeable relationship, is scattering [souls]” (Mat. 12:29-30, from: ἢ πῶς
δύναταί τις εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ ἰσχυροῦ καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἁρπάσαι, ἐὰν μὴ πρῶτον δήσῃ
τὸν ἰσχυρόν; καὶ τότε τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ διαρπάσει. ὁ μὴ ὢν μετʼ ἐμοῦ κατʼ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν, καὶ ὁ μὴ
συνάγων μετʼ ἐμοῦ σκορπίζει, SBLGNT). Clearly, since the context revolves around the subject of casting out controlling, oppressing, demonic spirits from the bodies and minds of human beings, the
“mighty one” in this first parable of Jesus, refers to a demonic spirit. The “mighty one” cannot refer to a weak, infantile, human spirit, as the deluded humanistic interpreters suggest. Then the figurative
“house” represents the body of a demon-possessed person, where the person’s mind and body of flesh are the demon’s “useful equipment” (τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ) and are no longer under control of the human spirit. In order to “seize” back the body and mind from the Satanic spirit, so the human spirit will no longer be demonically influenced and controlled, someone must first bind the demon. And there has never been an infantile human spirit dwelling in any body of flesh on earth who has ever been, nor ever will be, powerful enough to do that. Even the most mature elect human spirit on earth can be compared to a scrawny little seven-year-old with a wooden sword and cardboard armour, while even the weakest demon can be compared to a nine-foot-tall, muscular, fully trained, ruthless, experienced, highly skilled psychopathic soldier in his prime, with deadly weapons and steel armour.
Therefore, someone far more powerful than a human being must binds a mighty demon, then seize back the mind and body for the person, so the person’s spirit can be taught, counselled, comforted and restored. Otherwise, that demon-possessed person has no hope of recovery. And the only one who has ever held enough power and authority to overcome and bind any demonic spirit is God. Yet there was one man, in body of flesh, whose Spirit could overpower and wrap demons in unbreakable chains, to totally disable them, even in His own name, through His own power and authority. That man was Jesus. Absolutely no one except Jesus was ever able to completely conquer a demon and render it totally incapacitated. Then, after Jesus did this, His faithful, just and loving elect brothers and sisters could also minister to the body and mind of the freed soul, in His name. So, in the context of this parable of Jesus (vv. 29-30), the embedded pronoun in the singular third person aorist Page 876
Mat. 12:22-37, The Unforgivable Sin
subjunctive form of the verb δέω refers to Jesus. Only “He might have bound” a demon. For no human will ever be “able to enter into the house of the mighty one and seize his useful equipment.”
Thus, Jesus concluded this parable with a fact: “The one not being in an agreeable relationship with Me is against Me. And the one not gathering souls together with Me, in an agreeable relationship, is scattering souls.” Since the preposition μετά with a genitive proun (μετʼ ἐμοῦ) suggests a movement of that pronoun toward the phrase it modifies (i.e., it modifies the phrase, ὁ μὴ ὢν, “the one not being”), it indicates a relationship, where Jesus is drawing closer to a person. With a genitive object, and in this context, μετά is a “marker of association, in general sense denoting the company within which something takes place … literally of close association” (BDAG3). Jesus was saying that God’s elect need Him to fight against demonic spirits, since humans are never able to overcome demons themselves. Therefore, if a human soul is not growing into an agreeable, close relationship with Jesus, if Jesus is not continuously drawing closer to one’s spirit, if Jesus is not becoming one’s trusted Lord, Head Teacher and Trainer, then that soul is actually working against Jesus, as an ally of demons. That one is functioning as an enemy of God and His kingdom. Anyone who is not gathering other elect souls together under Christ’s banner, into a close relationship with Him, is scattering the elect to the four winds, chasing them away from their Father and oldest Brother, from the only One who can possibly unite and save them. And this includes carnal elect souls too. Unless an elect spirit awakes within the chamber one’s soul, then forsakes all human heads and works together with Jesus, as well as other elect souls through the counsel of Jesus, in an egoless way, for His purpose of saving all the elect into His loving righteousness, that elect soul is leading his or her family away from the protected flock and its Good Shepherd, out to the wolves, into false gods, fake salvations and death.
Any elect soul who esteems, trusts and serves a wanna-be human god is placing one’s faith in a person who falsely claims to be a head teacher of souls in a church, and is trying to build a closer relationship with that usurper of Christ’s authority. If an elect soul is being agreeable with that fake shepherd, then that one is an ally of demons and is actively working against Jesus. If any elect soul is doing all this, that one’s spirit urgently needs to repent into the truth by acknowledging that Jesus alone is thee Lord, that Jesus is the one and only Head Teacher of every individual man in literally every true church. And, if an elect soul is “evangelizing,” to lure innocent souls into a false church, so those souls might become food for the wolves in that church. And, if one is “evangelizing” for a church in ecumenical movement, for a church which unites with other false churches through many compromising corruptions of God’s words, then that elect soul is scattering elect siblings into a dark, dangerous, dry, dead desert belonging to Satan’s world order. That elect soul is actually chasing elect away from the real Jesus, who unites all in one truth, one way and one light. That one’s false teachings are actually deceiving and distracting elect spirits away from Jesus. Only if an elect soul humbly calls upon Jesus, together with all one’s equal brothers and sisters, in order to build a personal trusting relationship with Jesus as their only Head Teacher, can there ever be a gathering of souls together into the one true New Covenant church of Israel. Only the faithful elect in Jesus will find other elect spirits who were also born with a capacity to love in a just, pure and God-like way, then trust Him and His words together, in one mind and for one purpose. Only in the counsel of Jesus Christ’s Holy Spirit, in a loving relationship with Him, can we enter the priesthood of God.
Now look at another teaching of Jesus cited by Luke, illustrating the importance of growing into a deeper relationship with Jesus. Jesus likely gave His disciples this teaching just after He condemned the false Evangelicals, but possibly at another time. First Jesus declared that anyone who is not in an agreeable relationship with Him is against Him, and anyone who does not gather together souls into an agreeable relationship with Him is scattering those souls to destruction. Then He warned: “When Page 877
the unclean spirit might have departed from the person, it is passing through the dry places seeking rest. And, not finding [any], it says, ‘I will go back into my house, from where I departed.’ So, after entering, he finds it having been swept clean and having been decorated with good effect. Then he journeys out and associates with seven other spirits more hurtful than himself. Thus, after entering
[the house], they are dwelling there, and the final condition of this person becomes worse than the previous [condition]” (Luke 11:24-26, ALT). So Jesus was telling us that casting out a demonic spirit from a person’s soul may do some good for a time. For that one’s spirit will be freed to manage one’s mind of flesh. Then one will think more clearly and may straighten out one’s life, sweeping away filthy thoughts and tossing out the garbage of lies or delusions. In fact, that one may even begin to decorate the chamber of one’s soul with good and loving items. But this freedom will not last long.
Even though one may have an elect spirit, if that spirit is not willing to respond to Jesus’ calling, if that elect spirit is so infatuated with the things of Satan’s world order that it refuses to be taught and trained by Christ’s Holy Spirit and will not build a trusting, agreeable, fruitful bond with Him, there will be no Jesus in one’s soul to prevent the demon from returning. For no human spirit is strong enough to prevent any kind of demonic spirit from overpowering it. Only if Jesus, our God, is dwelling beside one’s spirit in the heart and soul, will there be enough power within one to guard against demonic spirits. If one does not have the Holy Spirit of Jesus dwelling in the soul, beside one’s human spirit, then any demon who gains God’s permission to enter one’s soul can surely enter.
Demons always feel that they have earned the right to possess anyone they have previously entered and conquered. Of course, that is a lie, since only God owns everyone or everything. And only God can grant a demon permission to enter His properties. So no demonic spirit can possibly enter, much less conquer, a human soul without first being allowed to do so by God. Yet God does grant this kind of permission to demons, whenever it can lead to the repentance of His elect into the truth. However, all demons seek to replace God as the owners of themselves, as well as the owners other people and things. Thus, all demons, and their human children, delude themselves into thinking they can use their power to seize and own people or things, then force others to serve their destructive whims, since this makes them feel like gods. And every demon deeply resents being cast out of a soul that it considered to be its own property. Consequently, every expelled demon tries to return to the soul it once possessed, as soon as it finds out that God is no longer guarding that soul. Then a demon may even invite other compatible demons to join it within the soul, so it can lord it over those other demons. And those other demons will join with that first demon “lord” of that human soul, since they too find it very difficult to exist in this empty material universe without another spiritual being to maliciously plague and abuse, since they too want to feel like powerful gods who oppress others.
Here Jesus said the returning demon would receive “seven” other demonic spirits that are “worse than” itself. And “seven” figuratively refers to a “complete” or “perfect” number of other demons, enough to totally and perfectly manipulate one’s mind of flesh and, thus, also one’s body of flesh, by enslaving the human spirit. Then that person will not have even one moment of self-controlled peace and rest, and one’s oppressed spirit will never be allowed to manage one’s own mind and body of flesh. Every moment of every day will be completely dedicated to serving those demons. So anyone who has a demon cast out, but does not grow into an agreeable relationship with Jesus after that, may end up in a far worse situation than before. This is why Jesus only cast out demons from awakened elect souls, only from the elect whose spirits were ready to grow into a deep relationship with Him.
The second parable of Jesus (Mat. 12:29-30) showed how the fake Evangelicals were diligently striving, with all the evil in their non-elect hearts, to prevent elect souls from trusting Jesus, so those elect souls would never grow into a close agreeable relationship with Him. Those liars also wanted Page 878
Mat. 12:22-37, The Unforgivable Sin
to keep elect souls bound under the strong deluding influence of demonic spirits, possibly even as possessed slaves of demons, if God allowed this for the elect who did not love the truth. Those fake Evangelicals were effectively helping Satan keep the minds and spirits of their dupes bound in dark little dungeons, where all were forced to slavishly serve Satan’s world order by serving themselves.
Therefore, those fake pastors were surely committing truly psychopathic sins. And their sins were a declaration of total war against God’s just and loving kingdom. For they were all actively trying to prevent elect souls from being set free, from being able to wander through their Father’s vast living spiritual lands which are filled with the light of pure truth. So these kinds of psychopathic sins were only able to be intentionally and consciously committed by non-elect spirits, by spirits born of Satan, by spirits which totally lacked any inherent good attributes, who had nothing in them that would ever enable them love or care for the welfare of other souls. Yes, elect souls did help those psychopaths, but only through the ignorance, fear and delusions of their spirits, not through informed motives and intentions of their spirits. So the kind of sin consciously and intentionally committed by those fake pastors revealed the utter contempt and hatred their spirits innately held for the real God and all His created spiritual truths, and exposed them as the non-elect, as spirits born of Satan. For all who bear no love for any of God’s children also do not love the Father of those children either. And this total lack of love in their spirits, with a complete apathy for the well-being of God’s children, is the root and trunk of unjust hatred, which is the defining attribute of Satan, all other demons and all of the non-elect children of that devil. So it was because these fake Evangelicals deliberately committed this psychopathic sin that Jesus decided to provide another teaching and a second reason for His eternal condemnation of those religious hypocrites, of those sent to churches by their hellish father.
The Definition of the Unpardonable Sin
After Jesus reasoned, in a succinct but partly obfuscated way, against the lies and sins committed by the Evangelicals who falsely accused Him of casting out demons by Satan’s power, He concluded:
“Because of this, I reason with you people, every kind of sin and slander will be forgiven for the benefit of the people. Yet the slander from the [human] spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever might have spoken a word against the Son of mankind, it will be forgiven for the benefit of him. Yet whoever might have spoken against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven for his benefit, neither in this age nor in the one about to come” (Mat. 12:31-32, from: διὰ τοῦτο λέγω ὑμῖν, πᾶσα ἁμαρτία καὶ
βλασφημία ἀφεθήσεται τοῖς ἀνθρώποις, ἡ δὲ τοῦ πνεύματος βλασφημία οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται. καὶ ὃς ἐὰν
εἴπῃ λόγον κατὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ· ὃς δʼ ἂν εἴπῃ κατὰ τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ
ἁγίου, οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ οὔτε ἐν τούτῳ τῷ αἰῶνι οὔτε ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι, SBLGNT). Now we must understand this in the light of all Jesus referred to, from both the Old and New Covenant Scriptures.
In this teaching, Jesus used datives which, in context, indicated “for the benefit of” the substantive.
He also used the future passive form of ἀφίημι (ἀφεθήσεται) twice, as a theological passive; first to indicate that all kinds of sins and slander “will be forgiven by God. ” But this came with a negative to indicate that the intentional slander of God from a person’s spirit, like the slander committed by the spirits of the fake pastors, “will not be forgiven by God.” Now God’s forgiveness abandons, forsakes and casts aside all thoughts about the sin, since that is what ἀφίημι means. So Jesus first reasoned that God will forgive “every kind of sin and slander ... for the benefit of the people” (from: πᾶσα
ἁμαρτία καὶ βλασφημία ... τοῖς ἀνθρώποις, where, in context, the form of πᾶς modifies without distinction, so it means “every kind of, all kinds of”). Jesus stated that all ten orders of sins, all sins forbidden by the archetypal Ten Commandments and the 613 laws of the Old Covenant, will be justly forgiven by God, since He sacrificed of His own sinless human body as a just payment for our Page 879
lifetimes of sins that we committed through our flesh. Although our “captive,” infantile, weak, ignorant elect spirits allowed our flesh to practise sins, He will forgive our elect spirits, since our spirits did not intend to commit those sins. Nor were our spirits ever motivated to commit those sins, since our spirits were suppressed, so we would walk according to manipulated thoughts of the flesh.
Of course, no sin is punished by God unless it is accompanied by wicked motives and intentions of the spirit, and literally all unintentional sins are automatically forgiven by God. So, if all intentions and motives behind our sins were formed in our minds of flesh, they will be forgiven. For our minds of flesh dragged our unwilling spirits into those sins. Our flesh coerced our untaught, weak, infantile spirits into allowing the sin. In fact, human spirits and demonic spirits often would persuade our flesh to silence our elect spirits, so our minds and bodies of flesh would commit those sins for them.
So there can be no guilt for deceived or coerced elect spirits, who possessed no malicious intentions or motives to commit sins. Only our easily manipulated earthly flesh can be held accountable for those sins and pay the penalty. And that penalty is being separated from God and His creations. So the only way this can happen for the flesh is through the physical death of that flesh. Yet, through the death of Jesus’ flesh, God paid that penalty for our flesh, and justly forgives our spirits for their part in allowing our flesh to commit sins. Thus, our elect spirits can continue to live in flesh on earth with the penalty paid for the sins of our flesh, because our ignorant suppressed spirits lacked any motives or intentions to sin, but partook in our sins unwillingly or even unconsciously. As Paul said, “I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief” (Acts 7:51, WEB). Here Paul indicated how, in the days before Jesus rebuked him, he had persecuted and blasphemed against Jesus. But Jesus had mercy on him and forgave him, because the mind of Paul’s elect spirit was allowing his flesh to hate and blaspheme through its ignorance of Christ’s teachings, and his lack of knowledge about God’s intended meaning of His words in the Bible. Paul’s mind of flesh believed the lies of the false teachers in his Evangelical (Pharisaic) church. Then his flesh acted upon those lies, but his elect spirit remained ignorant and was not able to believe the truth. Thus, his spirit was innocent. His spirit did not possess any wicked intentions or malicious motives to make him guilty for those sins of his flesh (see Rom. 7:14-23).
So an elect person’s mind of flesh is able to commit sins through selfish desires, even through a delusion which makes that flesh want to become a god who rules its own destiny. For the mind of flesh simply believes whatever it is told without any truly rational questioning of those dictates, since all the deeply rational thoughts of a person come from the spirit. So, if the spirit is suppressed and kept locked up in the heart, so it cannot reason with the mind of flesh within the chamber of the soul, then the mind of flesh can be easily deluded, coerced and manipulated by others. If an elect spirit is prevented from voicing anything true and rational in the soul, anyone can trick the mind of flesh into seeing what does not actually exist, not seeing what actually does exist, fearing what should not be feared, not fearing what should be feared, and believing any kind of lie. However, due to the irrational and easily deceived nature of the mind of flesh, Jesus’ own physical body died on the cross to free us from its guilt. And, since the suppressed and sleeping elect spirit remains without guilt, Jesus then frees, awakens, teaches and trains that elect spirit to manage its entire life on earth, by taking over the thoughts produced within the chamber of the soul. And this is called our salvation.
But, if a spirit lies to its own mind of flesh, in a way that falsely vilifies loving or innocent souls, and that spirit wants to be a god who replaces the real God, through a ruthless willingness to sacrifice the well-being and lives of other human beings or God’s good creations for one’s own gain or in pride, then that spirit cannot be justly forgiven. For such a spirit possesses only wicked intentions and evil motives, without a hint of real love—without a drop of love for God, nor for any other spirit, nor any Page 880
Mat. 12:22-37, The Unforgivable Sin
desire for any of the real truth upon which all love is built. Now every elect spirit, every spirit that is able to love, can sometimes be “taken captive” by its body of flesh, can be silenced and suppressed by its deceived or deluded mind of flesh, or even oppressed and enslaved by a demonic spirit. If this happens, the elect may even commit a sin like murder. Yet, since the elect spirit inherently bears the potential to love the victim of one’s own sins, and repent into the truth through that love, and is also unable to spiritually hate the innocent, then that elect spirit’s mind did not intentionally choose to commit the sin. Only that elect one’s mind of flesh intentionally committed the sin. The flesh alone possessed the evil intent and motive, which makes the flesh guilty. But the ignorant or coerced elect spirit remains guiltless. Or, if a loveless, ruthless, demonic spirit enters the chamber of an elect soul, to convince the mind of flesh to believe a lie which dehumanizes and falsely condemns an innocent person, which may even cause the flesh to murder that person, then that evil spirit had evil intentions and motives. So that invading spirit is guilty, and cannot be justly forgiven. For that evil spirit proves that it is inherently unloving because it possesses such wicked intentions and motives. And, without love, it has no ability to grieve over sin in godly sorrow, since nothing in that spirit stopped it from committing the sin in the first place. Thus, there is nothing in that spirit to cause it to repent into the truth. And, if a spirit is incapable of true repentance, in a way that transforms its loveless intentions and motives into just, pure loving intentions and motives, then our holy God cannot justly forgive it.
Then God’s Word also tells us that He allowed Satan to create many human spirits, and all those must have been made in that devil’s image. So these people would have spirits that are weaker and smaller than demonic spirits, but just as inherently loveless and unforgivable. So we can sometimes recognize them by the ways in which they manifest their lovelessness, although we cannot recognize them by the ways they sin, since even the elect sin through their flesh, even by committing murder.
Now, in English, we define “slander” as a hurtful, dehumanizing and falsely condemning lie uttered about another human being. And, when this kind of lie is written down and made public, we call it
“libel.” Then the word “blasphemy” is most often used with reference to a lie about God or about God’s Word. We make this distinction because lies about God or His words cannot hurt the almighty God at all, but they can definitely harm those who hear and believe those lies. A blasphemy can adversely affect both the blasphemer’s relationship with God and the relationships that others have with God, if those others believe the lie. Then we see how Jesus declared that “the slander from the human spirit will not be forgiven.” Here He was referring to any lies that we might call slander, libel or blasphemy. But notice how Jesus only spoke about “slander” from the spirit. Yet, in the clause before this, He differentiated between “sin and slander.” So, in this context, He defined “sin” as an expression of unjust words and deeds through one’s body of flesh, including lies uttered through a mouth of flesh or written by hands of flesh. Then He contrasted those expressed sins to the spirit’s
“slander.” So Jesus was saying that the way the mind of a spirit creates or repeats lies about another person or God, or about God’s good works or truths, is what our holy God will not or cannot forgive.
On this earth, a spirit cannot directly express lies, but must do so through the mouth or hands of its flesh. A human spirit must first enter the chamber of its soul and then command its flesh to convey those lies to others, then possibly also perform unjust deeds against others. A loveless spirit can use its own lies to convince its flesh to slander or sin against someone. So this is very different from a mind of flesh committing slander or sins through its own will, after that flesh has been deceived or coerced by someone or something else, but while its spirit is silenced, suppressed or sleeping. The only kind of slander and sin that Jesus called unforgivable had to originate in the mind of one’s own spirit, and Jesus was alluding to any kind of lie about God, about another person, about words or about deeds. Yes, that lie also had to be expressed by that spirit through its body of flesh, but that Page 881
unforgettable kind of lie originated from the spirit’s intentions and through the spirit’s motives. And, since a spirit’s intentions and motives cannot change, God cannot justly forgive it. Of course, the flesh itself is also guilty. For the amoral flesh is always readily convinced by lies. The flesh is always eager to believe that others are evil, inhuman and worthless “things,” especially if a spirit promises that flesh some kind of carnal reward, some kind of gain for its own pride, lust or other desires. But, if one’s very spirit is so loveless that it caused one’s flesh to slander and sin, then that slanderer will not only pay for that slander and sin through the death of one’s flesh, but also through a “second death,” which is the separation of one’s spirit from God and His creations by being cast into hell.
Blasphemy originating from an utterly loveless and ruthless spirit is far more solidly and rationally intentional than any kind of blasphemy from a fragile, volatile and easily manipulated mind of flesh.
And the motives of a spirit are so much more purely and deeply arrogant and malicious. For spirits have core inherent and immutable attributes which deliberately produce their intentions and motives through specifically directed thoughts that are carefully reasoned and developed by the guidance of their fathers. Then, since these inner propensities of spirits cannot change, a spirit cannot repent if it blasphemies the Holy Spirit of God. Either that spirit will hate and slander God forever, or that spirit will love and seek truth about God forever. A mind of flesh can flip from one emotion to another, and think it loves God one moment but hates God the next. But a spirit is not inconsistent in love or hate.
Now God can remain just and holy if He forgives any kind of slander or blasphemy committed by the mind and body of flesh of a repentant spirit, although that sinner’s confused, semi-conscious, stupid, infantile, elect spirit grudgingly consented to the sin done by one’s flesh. For that sinner’s elect spirit carried a potential ability to love in a just way and, thus, the ability to truly repent. And the spirit of every elect sinner will eventually wake up and embrace truth. Yet, if a totally loveless spirit deliberately creates a slanderous lie, without mercy and with no desire for truth, or willingly believes a vilifying lie uttered by some other liar, but never even attempts to verify those words with any kind of genuine proof, it is unforgivable. For God’s standards and expectations are far higher for spirits than for flesh. Therefore, no eternal spirit can slander God without eternal guilt. Furthermore, God cannot forgive a spirit that slanders His words or creations either, since the slander of His words or works is also the slander of the God who revealed those words or did those works. Of course, God will forgive slander committed entirely through minds and bodies of flesh, but not a spirit’s slander.
We have all seen the difference between these two kinds of slandering and blasphemy. And our elect spirits will instantly forgive any kind of slandering or blasphemy done through the mind and body of flesh of another elect sinner, such as through emotions like anger, or through negatively influencing factors like ignorance, deception or coercion. If the elect sinner later comes to us, with a spirit that has repented into the truth, we cannot help but forgive that brother or sister, then immediately and fully restore our relationship with the one who sinned against us or God. And God does the same.
But the non-elect are different. Yes, they often slander or commit other sins through their flesh, in the same way the elect do. However, the non-elect will also slander, blaspheme and commit other sins through the machinations of their spirits as well. And the spirits of the non-elect never repent, since their spirits are incapable of rejecting their beloved darkness in order to embrace the light of God, since they despise the light. Nor can the non-elect truly forgive, never in a way that restores a truly spiritual relationship of just and God-like love, since their spirits possess no ability to love. At times, the non-elect might say they “forgive,” but only to gain a favour or advantage for themselves. Yet they never truly forgive. Rather, their spirits always keep a tally of all the wrongs and rights done to or for them. The non-elect operate strictly on a reciprocal system. So they will evaluate a good deed as worth a certain number of points, in terms of the devil’s invention of money. But everything they Page 882
Mat. 12:22-37, The Unforgivable Sin
think is bad must pay the same penalty, death. Then, since all minds of all spirits remember literally everything, non-elect spirits never forget who did any kind of wrong to them, and will continue to seek revenge for the rest of their lives. So, if they ever gain enough power, or find an opportunity to commit murder without being held responsible for it, they will kill the person who insulted the colour of their shoes, or torture to death he who exposed their lies about their personal greatness.
To gain or maintain power or wealth for themselves, and sometimes for the pleasure of feeling like a god who wields the power to indiscriminately harm other souls, the non-elect will often slander the innocent, and will do this through their spirits’ psychopathic total disregard for the spiritual worth of their victims. Then those non-elect will stubbornly defend those lies from the very cores of their beings, even if clear evidence and reason prove their lies to be false, beyond any reasonable doubt.
Then the non-elect, whose spirits only worship themselves and other non-elect benefactors, treat the Creator God as less worthy of esteem and service than themselves. In fact, the real God is lower in their own estimation than any human being living on earth, since they cannot enslave the real God, nor use Him for their own profit, like they can enslave and use living people. Therefore, literally all the non-elect routinely blaspheme God, not only directly, but through their words and deeds which mock and deride God’s loving, responsible, just, equitable attributes written within all His creations.
Now it is also true that the elect often will slander and blaspheme God, but strictly for the profit or pleasure of their flesh. Yet the elect are only able to do this when their ignorant, infantile spirits are blinded and half asleep, only if the eyes of their spirits are not able to see the spiritual and physical realities existing all around them. But all elect spirits inwardly respect and revere the real God, which is manifested indirectly, in the way they all praise and extol God’s loving, responsible, just, equitable attributes written within all His creations, and by their spirits’ truly just, equitable love for at least some other elect spirits. Then the elect sin against other human beings in the same way, that is, entirely through their minds and bodies of flesh, and most often due to lies taught by the non-elect to their minds of flesh, or through fleshy emotions stirred up by the non-elect. All the sins of the elect are through carnal motives and intentions alone, not through spiritual motives and intentions.
Thus, God is well-able to awaken these sleeping elect spirits, then teach truth to their spirits, until they realize how they had unjustly caused harm to their victims. Then, once the elect truly know how extensively they harmed their victims, through lies and unjust sins, their spirits will invariably fall into godly sorrow, with an earnest hatred of those lies and sins. Their elect spirits will cling to the truth, to the spiritual realities about their victims and their responsibilities to God’s creations, all that the Creator’s Spirit personally teaches to their spirits. So this repentance of their spirits allows the real God to justly forgive them and grant atonement, a full restoration of their relationship with Him.
Therefore, if any spirit possesses an ability to truly and justly love other spirits, it is impossible for that kind of spirit to create the kind of slander which Jesus defined as unforgivable. For the only lies and sins which God has ever deemed to be unforgivable are those committed through the intentions and motives of an immutably God-hating spirit, by a spirit that will forever refuse to repent into the light of God’s responsible, just, equitable, loving truth. God’s Word and God’s actions on this earth have always and invariably declared this to be so. Therefore, the unforgivable kind of slander or blasphemy which Jesus defined cannot possibly originate from any elect spirit. This unforgivable kind of slander can only be committed by non-elect spirits, only by spirits born of Satan’s spirit, only by the spirits who were fashioned in the image of the devil’s own inherently loveless and lying spirit.
Consequently, if any spirit possesses even the least innate capacity to love in a just and God-like way, that spirit is not able to create or believe an utterly ruthless and unjust lie about about God or Page 883
any other spiritual being, although that one’s mind of flesh may believe such a lie. For literally all spirits which possess a potential and inherent ability to love, that is, all elect spirits, can clearly see at least some existing physical and spiritual realities. Thus, all elect spirits can sense lies, if they are awakened and are walking in the light of God’s realities and truths. And God always eventually will compel all elect spirits to hear and accept the evidence that either proves or disproves what their flesh might hear. And, if their flesh will allow it, their spirits will repent into that truth before they begin to act on those exposed lies. Elect spirits cannot help but believe the real truth and repent into it, because this the core inherent nature of their spirits. No awakened elect spirit even has the ability to bear injustice through lies. For all real love is built on a foundation of truth. And all elect spirits innately crave this kind of God-like love, because it is an immutable attribute created by God inside all their spirits. God granted all elect spirits an attribute and inherent ability to perceive His created physical and spiritual realities, a potential ability to see and find the real truth, so they can then build love upon that truth. However, all minds of flesh, even flesh belonging to the elect, is incapable of discerning between lies and truth, and cannot love. The flesh cannot even comprehend its own existence, much less other realities. Thus, every elect soul must learn rely on one’s mind of the spirit, and all God reveals to one’s spirit. For every elect spirit must become able to see and know, with all certainty, what truly exists in His physical and spiritual creations, in order to love justly and wisely.
So every slandering or blasphemous word uttered by a mouth of flesh originates either (1) from a non-elect human spirit, (2) from a demonic spirit feeding that lie to a non-elect human spirit, or (3) from an idiotic and gullible elect or non-elect mind of flesh seeking selfish gain. And, if the lie has been intentionally and maliciously created by a non-elect spirit, or that non-elect spirit willingly believed a lie that was created by the devil, then that spirit cannot be forgiven. For that spirit has proved that it loves the darkness of that kind of lie or delusion, and cannot love the truth of existing physical and spiritual realities. As a result, that non-elect spirit is utterly incapable of repenting into any truth for forgiveness. Worse yet, that non-elect spirit slanders the Creator and Designer of all realities when that spirit loves the darkness of lies and delusions more than God’s truths. Even worse than this, a non-elect spirit also reveals its hatred of God Himself by cherishing those dark lies and delusions, since cherishing them is tantamount to hating all the spiritual realities that the Creator’s Spirit made to reveal His own attributes, such as love and justice. All that is holy, all that is set apart for God’s good purposes, reveals God core nature. In reality, a non-elect spirit is nothing like an elect spirit. Only elect spirits feel innately compelled to form covenants of love built on a foundation of truth. Love, truth and justice are an elect spirit’s core attributes, formed during its creation. These are the “DNA” of every elect spirit. An elect spirit cannot even force itself to hate spiritually good and holy realities and truths, since God created its core attributes to love them. Only non-elect spirits, created without the attribute of love, can possibly sin in a loveless, unrepentant, unforgivable way.
It is extremely important for us to understand all this. For I have seen so many Christians falsely accuse elect souls of blaspheming against the Holy Spirit, just because those carnally minded elect had mocked Jesus, or them, or their church. False churches have condemned countless elect souls as unforgivable sinners, whose certain destiny is hell. But Jesus clearly stated that slander by the flesh can be forgiven, just like all other sins of the flesh. And it is a greater sin to condemn elect souls, and say they cannot be forgiven, simply because their flesh succumbed to certain kinds of deceptions and temptations which are common to all flesh. Then, at the same time, almost all those accusers esteem and serve non-elect deceivers who actually do commit the unforgivable sin of slandering the Holy Spirit. Those falsely accusing Christians literally worship false pastors appointed by Satan, liars who Page 884
Mat. 12:22-37, The Unforgivable Sin
commit unforgivable sins daily. Yet they will not forgive the forgivable sins of an elect soul, often because that sinner was too honest and exposed their hypocrisy, or the sins of their fake human gods.
So now look a little more closely at how Jesus declared: “And whoever might have spoken a word against the Son of mankind [i.e., against physical manifestations of God], it will be forgiven for the benefit of him. Yet whoever might have spoken against the Holy Spirit [i.e., against spiritual manifestations of God], it will not be forgiven for his benefit, neither in this age nor in the one about to come.” This sounds ominous, since the age “about to come” clearly refers to life after the judgment day. It means that those who lie against the Holy Spirit will not go to heaven, but will go to hell, and will never escape from hell for all eternity. But the “Son of mankind” is Jesus, and Jesus is God, just as much as the Holy Spirit is God. So some will be forgiven for slandering Jesus, God in a body of flesh, either by lying about His words or about Him. Yet none will be forgiven for slandering the Holy Spirit, who is not God in the flesh, but is His Spirit who communicates directly with human spirits.
To the disciples of Jesus, who were not corrupted by humanistic anthropological doctrines, the true meaning of this teaching was obvious. For they believed all the Scriptures and all the truths granted to their spirits by God’s Spirit, by His Holy Spirit, whenever He spoke directly to their elect human spirits. Here Jesus was obviously delineating between the blasphemy of God by the flesh versus the blasphemy of God by the human spirits. For, at that time, Jesus walked among them in a body of real physical flesh, and spoke to them through His flesh, to their ears of flesh. Therefore, even an elect mind of flesh could react adversely to Jesus and to His physically uttered words. The biases of a mind of flesh could also falsely interpret both the body language and the words of Jesus, then repeat those biases, when the mind of flesh reported what it saw and heard to the mind of its spirit, in the chamber of the soul. The flesh could suppress and even poison the mind of one’s spirit against the flesh of Jesus, without giving the spirit a chance to truly know the real Jesus, by not allowing the spirit to receive the real meanings of Jesus’ words. But, whenever the Holy Spirit of God chose to speak directly to a human spirit, the biased flesh would be unable corrupt those concepts from God as they flowed into the mind of the spirit. There can be no mistaking of the concepts that God’s Holy Spirit directly placed in one’s spirit. For spirits use a wordless “language” to communicate with other spirits, with precisely defined concepts, and with no chance of misinterpretation by the other spirits.
Now look at the incident which provoked the false accusations of the fake Evangelical pastors. Jesus had cast a demon out of a blind and mute man, which prompted some elect in the crowd to ask the others: “Can this be the Son of David?” That is, it was not the miracle and its physical effects which prompted those elect to say this. Rather, God’s Holy Spirit had been testifying to some elect spirits there, telling those spirits the Man who cast out the demons was their promised Messiah, that Jesus was the prophesied God incarnate. And that witnessing Holy Spirit, the Person of God who enters the chambers of human souls to speak with elect spirits, testified through some elect souls to all the spirits there that day. All heard this testimony from the Holy Spirit. Even the non-elect Evangelicals heard that testimony from the Holy Spirit, from the one Creator God. Yet those fake Evangelicals reacted in the most psychopathic way possible. Like their father, Satan, the last thing they wanted was for their captive elect to trust in the almighty, spirit-freeing and saving power of their real God, whose Holy Spirit dwelt in the body of that Messiah. For, if their enslaved elect dupes trusted in Jesus and in His words, then those elect would no longer worship them, those wanna-be gods, nor give them money. So the fake Evangelicals, inspired by the counsel of their hellish father, invented a lie to counter the words of God’s Holy Spirit, and denied truth which the Holy Spirit gave directly to the spirits of some elect. They slandered Jesus, by saying that He cast out demons by the power of Satan. And, by slandering the words testified by the Holy Spirit, they also slandered the Holy Spirit Page 885
Himself. By falsely declaring the exact opposite of what the Holy Spirit’s testified, by declaring that Jesus was the Satanic enemy of God, their very spirits falsely judged God, the Holy Spirit, to be a liar and slandered God’s Holy Spirit. Since their hating spirits did this, they could never be forgiven.
Think about this. In reality, both elect and non-elect spirits throughout the world hear different kinds of “public” testimonies from the Holy Spirit. God communicates certain concepts of justice and equity, or effective principles of responsible love, directly to the minds of elect spirits. Then those elect proclaim them, often publicly. This occurs everywhere, every day. The Holy Spirit of our Messiah and God continuously testifies about the truth to countless elect spirits, and these truths are heard, and their applied good effects are seen, by human flesh in every nation on earth. God’s Spirit also confirms those truths to the cores of all human beings, and even warns rebelling spirits that their words and deeds against His truths will end in loss and death. For elect and non-elect spirits react differently to the “public” testimonies that God’s Spirit grants. All elect spirits find it impossible to ignore those truths from God, but only some elect spirits instantly and warmly welcome those truths, while most elect remain trapped in slavery to Satan’s world order and flee from them, because those truths convict their spirits too heavily. Most elect minds of flesh try to deny those truths and fight against them, so they can keep their carnal rewards from the devil another hour or day. Yet, since the minds of elect spirits cannot forget those truths, those carnal elect eventually accept and confess those truths, with submitting minds and mouths of flesh. Yet non-elect spirits react in another way.
Non-elect spirits always react to truths from Christ’s Holy Spirit with fearful contempt, because they know those truths will burn away their delusions of god-like status and rob their stolen goods from them, and even free the slaves they took through deception and violence. So those non-elect spirits fervently pray to the father of their spirits, who is an infinitely smaller, weaker, darker spirit than the Holy Spirit. And that devil, or his demons, will rush into their souls, to warn his children that they must lie and terrorize in opposition to the wise, beneficial words of the Holy Spirit, lest God’s truths take effect and begin to free souls, or erode their despotic power as fake human gods. For God’s truth always brings incalculable benefits for everyone in just and loving ways, and tears down all the unjust, inequitable, ruthless hierarchies that the non-elect love and strive to build for themselves.
Satan will swear to his children, upon his lack of honour, that God’s truths must be treated as vile, disgusting things, and must be crushed at all cost, or else the little, dark, delusional kingdoms of his favourite psychopaths will perish, and their own wicked lives on earth will end. So the terrified non-elect citizens of Satan’s world order will labour night and day, as the devil’s whipped slaves, to lie and brutally oppress God’s truths. Those liars will continuously declare that every rational and effective truth uttered by the Holy Spirit is destructive, false and wrong. They will repeatedly and loudly proclaim that only their lies are true, although they all invariably prove to cause nothing but harm and death, even for themselves. For they believe that their iterations of their lies will make them true, at least in the minds of their dupes. Consequently, those non-elect spirits are incessantly slandering the Holy Spirit, over and over again, every day and in every way. They commit this evil and unforgivable sin countless times during their lives, to assure their eternal condemnation and sentence of hell. By continuously fighting as willing soldiers for Satan’s kingdom, especially that devil’s fourth humanistic kingdom, they ensure that their eternal loss will be just and well deserved.
Nevertheless, we have always seen how many elect dupes are tricked into worshipping even the worst of those slanderers of the Holy Spirit. Most elect serve and bow before unforgivable sinners, who thoroughly confuse and enslave them with deceiving rhetoric, lies about the necessity of their great and god-like leadership to keep order and prevent chaos, terrorizing threats of tortuous punishment unto death for those who oppose them, promises of fictitious horrors ensuing if they Page 886
