Anthony Perez9 said:Jesus was basically the biggest show-off to ever exist.:
Jesus claims He’s actually wiser than even Solomon, the wisest guy to ever walk the earth.
"Look, I'm standing right here—I am Jesus. I've got more wisdom than Solomon, and I'm a bigger prophet than Jonah, the guy who actually convinced an entire city like Nineveh to turn back to Jehovah!" (Yeah, sure. If I were really the Son of God, I’d probably be some legendary sage performing miracles left and right.)
Jesus says that Moses was actually talking about Him.
How is everyone so dense that they can't see ME in all those Jewish scriptures? It's me, Jesus, the one everyone keeps writing about.
Moses basically just said that someone even greater than him would show up later, describing a figure who could pretty much be anyone.
Jesus is looking at this passage when he’s yelling about how people need to realize that Moses was actually talking about him all along.
So, Jesus was basically just feeding his own ego.
I’m the only one who matters—your leader, your teacher, and nothing else.
The scholars and religious elites have taken over Moses's seat. Honestly, just do what they tell you, but don't expect them to actually walk the walk—they love talking, but they won't lift a finger to help. They’ll pile heavy burdens on everyone else while they sit back and watch. It’s all just a performance for the crowd; they love the attention, the fancy titles, the front-row seats at church, and being called "Teacher" or "Rabbi" in public. But don't bother calling yourselves that. We only have one teacher, and we're all brothers. Don't even call anyone "Father" here on earth, because we only have one Father up in heaven. (And what about the Pope? Is he the Holy Father?) Just don't let people treat you like they're your leaders, because our only leader is Christ.
With an egomaniac like that, you can only expect heavy-handed copyright claims and them hoarding every bit of progress and profit... all while threatening you with literal hellfire and grinding teeth.
The Acts of Jesus. 🙄
"I am standing right here before you—Jesus. I possess wisdom greater than Solomon's; I am a prophet greater than Jonah, who turned an entire city—Nineveh—to the worship of Jehovah!" (I guess if I were the son of god, I'd also be some great wise prophet handing out signs to people.)
Jesus claims that Moses was actually talking about Him.
"How are you all so blind that you can't see ME in all the Jewish holy scriptures? IT IS I, JESUS, THE ONE THEY ARE ALL WRITING ABOUT!!"
Don't think for a second that I'm going to sue you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, whom you rely on. (46) Truly, if you believed Moses, you would believe me: for he wrote about me. (47) But if you don't believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
And apparently, the mythical Moses only spoke of some future prophet even greater than himself—describing someone vague enough to be anyone.Jesus seems to be fixated on this passage when he rants about the necessity of believing that Moses was specifically pointing to Him.
"Yahweh, your God, will raise up a prophet like me from among your own people—listen to him! Just as you asked of Yahweh, your God, at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, 'I don't want to hear the voice of Yahweh, my God, anymore, nor do I want to see that terrifying fire or I might die!' Then Yahweh said to me: 'They have spoken correctly. I will raise up a prophet among them like you. I will put my words in his mouth so he tells them everything I command. And if anyone fails to listen to the words that the prophet speaks in my name, he will be held accountable before me."
So, I suppose Jesus was just making a case for his own ego.
Only I, Jesus, am your Leader! Only I am your Teacher!"The scribes and Pharisees sat in Moses's seat. So do and observe everything they tell you, but don't follow their actions, because they talk without doing. They tie heavy burdens onto people's shoulders but won't even lift a finger to help. They do everything just to be seen by others. In fact, they lengthen their scrolls and make their tassels longer. They love the best seats at banquets, the first chairs in synagogues, greetings in the streets, and being called 'Rabbi' by people. But you, don't let yourselves be called 'Rabbi,' since you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. Nor should you call anyone on earth 'father,' because you have one Father—the one in heaven. (Though what about the Pope—the Holy Father?) And don't let leaders call you theirs, because you have one leader—Christ.
From such egomaniacs, we can probably expect nothing more than aggressive copyright claims and the retention of all rights to goodness and progress... under threat of a fiery HELL filled with the grinding of teeth.
The Acts of Jesus. 🙄
The day Jesus truly lost His temper was when He walked into the temple and found it being run like some chaotic back-alley marketplace—he ended up tossing things everywhere in a fit of rage. There must have been an incredible amount of noise, with gold and silver coins clattering against the temple walls... one can only imagine the racket.
Because what He saw inside felt like a personal insult—since He is, after all, the son of His Father (you already know the sections in the book)
Jonah’s three days inside the belly of that massive fish is just symbolism for the three days of Jesus’s death as a man.
Moses wasn't dealing in myths; he had actual insight and simply passed it along as he received it.
Obviously, Jesus was more powerful and wiser than Solomon—Solomon was just a man who prayed from the heart, and since his heart was in the right place at the time, God granted his request... but Solomon eventually lost his way, introduced idolatry to the people, and broke his covenant with God (which ultimately led him to servitude).
Jesus also possessed free will; He could have chosen a different path, yet His agreement with the Father was deeply woven into His heart, and He saw that pact through to the end.
So?
Are we suggesting that an Almighty God didn't know who He was sending to Earth for this mission?
... or what?
Wasn't Jesus himself present in heaven before anything else was even created?
And wasn't God, as the Father, creating everything else alongside Him?
People struggle to grasp their unity, I suppose—but if you remind them of a father who loves his son and is loved in return, working together on the family estate, is that really such a difficult concept to understand?
On Earth, we call our fathers "fathers" (that's how we refer to our own kin back home, and I don't see the issue there).
Yet, there is still a Father above them all, as He is the Creator of all fathers.
And I honestly don't see what part of that is confusing.
As for hell and the gnashing of teeth... hell is imaginary, but if it actually existed, this planet would be its headquarters by now.
That's about it. 🙂
