LET US REVISIT MY THESIS THAT JESUS WAS RAISED
FROM THE DEAD
If a prophet you confidently
trust as a divine man sent to deliver you from the evil one tells you what has
been decreed or prophesied about him, who are you to doubt him. Let me show you
what I missed out from the Original King
James Bible; The Gospel by Matthew 16: 21 ¶ From that time forth began
Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and
suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed,
and be raised again the third day. (KJV)
21 ¶ From
that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes,
and be killed, and on the third day be raised. (RSV)
Many Christians are currently deceived into
reading THE WATERED DOWN AND DEMONIC VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE which misrepresent
the original words of Christ Jesus; so come along with me and see the original
narrative by an apostle chosen by the Lord and Master as he tells us THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT
THE TRUTH about this heretical assumption that Jesus rose from the dead.

JESUS DID NOT RISE FROM THE DEAD
ReplyDeleteHE WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD
“Truth is Supreme and will always rise one day, no matter for how long it has been suppressed or buried by centuries of doctrines and dogmas fabricated in Rome. The errors of the Fathers of the Roman Catholic Church are so numerous that the little Pope John Paul II did by way of apologetics during his papacy barely scratched at the surface of the centuries’ old crime of misleading the whole Christendom”.
+Dr Jideofo Kenechukwu Danmbaezue, D.Sc. in Psychometrics
Of all the errors of the Roman Catholic Church, the most heinous was accepting a Pagan Emperor to deify JESUS OF NAZARETH, who insisted he was the SON OF MAN severally during his ministry. He never claimed equality with OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN! The Lord’s Prayer succinctly proves that, so also did several other passages in all the New Testament narratives.
In all the gospel narratives, he was referred to simply as; “Jesus” all through the Original King James Version. Saul of Tarsus in every place he referred to him in his numerous epistles always called him; “Christ Jesus”, which was the correct placement of his double-barrelled name in Greek; literally meaning, “ SAVIOUR EMMANUEL”, never “Jesus Christ”, that would translate into “Emmanuel Saviour”. Would “Professor Kenez” ever be the same as “Kenez Professor”, NO!
None of the Apostles he trained ever called him, SON OF GOD. They always called him “TEACHER” or simply “MASTER”. Wherever that title “SON OF GOD” is seen in the Bible is false. It was fabricated at the illegitimate and heretical Council of Nicea convened by a Pagan Emperor. That was the beginning of Idolatry in Christendom and the ultimate derailment of the genuine mission of JESUS ministry on earth. He never claimed equality with “Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name”,…
Jesus was a man who always refereed to himself as “SON OF MAN” and HE never deviated from being human; he ate, urinated, defecated, laughed, slept, sighed, empathised, sympathised and cried at the loss of his friend, Lazarus.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, we have solid evidence that a dead man can only be raised by someone else calling on the Almighty Power of the Creator. Did Lazarus rise from the dead after four days or did Jesus pray to Our Father to give him the power to raise Lazarus?

Joh 20:7
The Igbo says that no matter how clever a man is, he cannot bury himself at death. The Yoruba concurs by emphatically stating that no matter how intelligent one can be, no one can ever clap with one hand. The Late Moshood Abiola popularised this. I owe him that acknowledgement. I am ignorant of the words of wisdom other ethnic groups use to exemplify the absurdity of speaking from both sides of the same mouth. TUFIA KWA.
The English would corroborate with “you cannot eat your cake and have it”. Roman Catholics have to make up their minds that JESUS REALLY DIED ON THE CROSS OR ACCEPT THE RECENT SCIENTIFIC PROOF THAT A MAN CAN SURVIVE THE TORTURES HE HAD. THIS HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED SEVERALLY.
• If the former, A dead man cannot RAISE HIMSELF from the dead.
• If the latter, the doctrine of being saved by his blood shed on Calvary will have to be placed on hold.
THESE NORMAL HUMAN FUNCTIONS SEAL THE DEBATE;
ReplyDeleteWhen hungry he sent his disciples to buy food, when thirsty he asked the woman at Jacob’s well in Cana of Galilee for a drink. He, earlier on, gate crashed into a wedding feast in that same city only his mother was officially invited. Arriving with all his followers, they depleted the bridegroom’s stock so much that his mother had to force him to multiply seven jars of water, which then saved the face of the Newly- Weds and surprised the Master of Ceremony.
He cursed a vine tree to dry up right from the roots for not producing the basic ingredients for making wine, multiplied five loaves and two fishes to feed his congregation and later did same with seven loaves. Here was a human pastor unlike today’s prosperity preachers who milk their congregations dry with mandatory 1st, 2nd, etc offerings, outlandish donations in cash and kind and still pay their monthly tithes.
The list is inexhaustible. The few are enough to buttress my deposition that Jesus of Nazareth was full of compassion, was truly human and humanitarian all through his earthly ministry. So where did the Doctrine of Holy Trinity sprout from, if not from demonic influence to derail the follower into IDOLATRY, which the Mosaic Laws forbade. Jesus is not happy with being set up against the Almighty Creator and Father of us all.
To crown it all and fully demonstrate its satanic origin the falsehood of his rising from the dead was subliminally implied in the romanticised Nicene Creed; “ He rose from the dead.” thereby insinuating that Jesus was ‘a god’ and so had the superhuman power to raise himself from the grave.
As often happens with liars, the proponents of that doctrine or dogma FORGOT that the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church is INFALLIBLE, but here they exposed him as FALLIBLE since the official creed is that Jesus is FULLY HUMAN and not HALF-MAN and HALF-GOD.
