Red Letter Church

[orthodoxymoron]

Quote: I have some of the same issues that you have shared regarding religion, the bible and most definately Pauline scripture. I think Paul was a plant to subvert the teachings of Christ. I do not like his energy nor his teachings that are so judgmental and misogynistic. As for the God of the OT vs. the God presented in the NT, I have some of the same issues.


Response: In the Great Commission...Jesus tells his followers to teach what he taught. Paul...or everyone else in the New Testament...or even most everyone else in 2,000 years of Christian history...failed to do this. The Roman Catholic Church was not based upon the Teachings of Jesus. The Protestant Reformation was not based upon the Teachings of Jesus. Most Christian sermons are not based upon the Teachings of Jesus. Paul is most often the last word regarding Jesus...rather than Jesus being the last word regarding Jesus. The Babylonian, Egyptian, Jewish, Roman, (Reptilian?) Theocracy could not tolerate the Teachings of Jesus...so it made Jesus into a hood ornament...a crucifix nailed to a wall. Paul was an accessory in accomplishing this. In a sense...Jesus was like JFK...they both opposed the Old World Disorder Reptilian Theocracy...and were murdered. If this is an extreme view...and an error...please let me know...and explain why.

I just want to say that I'm guilty of what I am lamenting. Even now...I have a hard time sitting down for an extended period of time...and studying the Teachings of Jesus. If I had been one of the key historical Christians...including a Pope...I probably would have done some of the same things they did. In a previous life...perhaps I did. My intention is not to single out people or organizations...it is to point out a glaring historical and contemporary problem. I just think the human race has been massively screwed with. I think the human race is still being massively screwed with...and that the so called New World Order is ultimately malevolently non-human. I could be very wrong...but this is what I currently believe. I'm open to reevaluation.

The Nativity Story is a Story of Nobility

Divinity descends as a translucent blue sphere
And enters the womb of Mary the Immaculate

God the Son teaches Man right from wrong
Heals the wounded Converts the sinners

The Crucifixion is a noble example of the superiority of High Ideals
Over bodily comfort pleasure and existence

God the Son rises and returns to His Righteous Kingdom

No, it's not. It's a story of spirit, love, hope - most babies are born in this womb.

A womb with a view!

orthdoxymoron - I came across an economist/ author via this article: "Jesus on Property Rights and Resource Preservation," (Robert Higgs). His most recent book has an interesting title, too.



# Against Leviathan: Government Power and a Free Society (2004)
# Resurgence of the Warfare State: The Crisis Since 9/11 (2005)
# Depression, War and Cold War: Studies in Political Economy (2006)
# Politická ekonomie strachu ("The Political Economy of Fear") (Czech language; 2006)
# Neither Liberty Nor Safety: Fear, Ideology, and the Growth of Government (2007)

Higgs's 10 September 2008 article, "Ticking Time Bomb Explodes, Public Is Shocked," stated that

"[t]he failure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, setting in motion the biggest government bailout/takeover in U.S. history, brings a grim sense of fulfillment to competent economists.... Our political economy is rife with such catastrophes in waiting, yet the public always seems startled, and outraged, when the day of reckoning can no longer be deferred, and another apartment collapses in the state’s Hotel of Impossible Promises, loading onto the taxpayers more visibly the burden of sheltering the previous occupants.... Call it democracy in action or utterly corrupt governance; they are the same thing."

Nobility means the quality or state of being noble in character quality or rank
Spirit love hope righteousness are all noble qualities

Mary Josef Jesus are all noble people
The Immaculate Conception of Mother Mary is a noble happening
Jesus Life Message Death and Resurrection is the essence of nobility
Nobility inspires us to raise to its standard

Virgin Birth is not a normal conception but a noble conception
