Jesus Married? Why not?

It may sound like great for fiction a movie like the Da Vinci Code based off of actual documents pertaining to Jesus.  The religious will continually deny that it was even possible and this seems like news, but to religious scholars it is business as usual. The article goes more in depth about the find.  Now the Vatican purports that the papers are fake bringing up the issue that leaders are trying to hide the fact that Jesus had the possibility to have a True Wife.

 

Jesus was born a man with the same equipment that other men are born with.  How do we know?  For one, he was born of a human, and secondly God does not go against his own rules.  There is not an incident of God changing the anatomy of a person for his own goals.  Therefore, Jesus was equipped with the ability to have children. 

 

This blog always mentions how the crucifixion was God's second choice.  God's first choice for Jesus was not death.  Jesus became perfect, and was the first human being to fulfill the mission that Adam was supposed to fulfill and that was to become mature as a son of God. 

 

 Jesus was the first True Son.  Jesus was endowed with God's unstained seed at birth which flowed through Jesus's blood.  Why would God destroy what took him millions of scientific years to achieve without leaving any remnants of this perfected seed on earth? 

 

Another question is, if God has found his True Son, where is his True Daughter?  When are women going to have their chance to be restored?  No religious leader speaks of this. 

 

Why is the Jesus marriage debate such a big deal to this day? 

 

Because at one point, Christianity understood this point:  Jesus was to marry a true woman like himself, have a holy marriage sanctified by God and have children born with God's lineage.  How else would God's perfect seed be attained on earth?  Through fallen people?  How can a wild olive Tree bear good fruit unless it was linked to a true olive tree?  God's true lineage left the earth with the death of Jesus.

 

Lineage is how you keep tradition on earth.  Jesus should have lived, bore children with his character, and his followers truth and during Jesus' time conquer Rome.  If this would have happened, his followers would not have become slaves, crucified or tortured by the Roman Empire for 400 years. This only happened to indemnify the Israelites disbelief in Jesus and killing him.  Jesus was able to finally conquer Rome after his followers sacrifice laid the foundation. 

 

Does killing and shedding blood of God's children sound like God's first plan to bring about peace?  Does this sound like the ONLY solution and first reality of a perfect, peaceful God, and only ideal salvation for His children? 

 

This  is why it is hard for so many people to believe in such a God - but God always gives dual paths in the bible that are dependent on human responsibility or free will.  Blessing or curses.  If Jesus lived he would have been able to lead with his family. 

 

But since not even one follower stood with him as he went to the cross, Jesus had to give up his body - not his spirit - as an alternative to bring only salvation in the spirit.  Yet, Jesus's body was attacked and lost to Satan and this is why we still have sin on the earth.  We only can obtain spiritual salvation. 

 

Who can deny that the Messiah's body was not protected at the end?  Even Jesus' own body suffered attack, therefore so do his followers.  Jesus' death did not bring physical salvation, meaning Jesus did not eradicate a way for us to be born without the protection of being attacked physically by satan.

 

 Who can deny that no matter how devout a faith anyone has they still pass on sin to their children? Our bodies are like a living playground to Satan where diseases, sinful desires. We fight the flesh's desire everyday.  Our bodies are the enemy of God's children. 

 

That is because Jesus was supposed to live and gave his body as a sacrifice, not the first choice.  Then this explains why he has to come back in the same way he came.  In the flesh and rectify the mistakes of 2000 years ago when his followers were faithless and return and this time conquer.

 

Now that the Messiah has returned, in 1920, and left his lineage on earth, you see God has waged a war on Satan and satan's world and satan's ideals are leaving this earth.  This explains why satan is working so hard in these Last Days because he is about to leave this earth and true peace will be dominated in this world as God proposed in Revelations. 

 

This is a happy time as well as a fearful time in these days as your every action decides which side you are on.  Remember, in the Last Days, there will be a true distinction of the sheep and the goats, every moment you choose heaven or hell.  I think hell has had its time on earth, I think it's time God had His Glory, don't you think?

 

Return for Tomorrow's Post: Jesus's Murder Prolongs World Peace 

 

This post is based on the teaching of the Dr. Sun Myung Moon which I had studied his speeches and books for 7 years straight.  There is never an end to the learning, because as I grow, by rereading the material, God reveals more.  The same is true for everyone.

Why World History Repeats Itself Part II

Moses Disbelief, Israelites Follow Canaan Idols

In the period of slavery in Egypt, the First Israel, the chosen nation, separated itself from Satan, who was able to invade because of Abraham's failure in the offering, through circumcising (Ex. 4:25), offering sacrifices (Ex. 5:3), and keeping the Sabbath (Ex. 16:23).

Why does history repeat itsel?  It is an answer that cannot be answered without viewing God's standpoint.

History repeats itself when God preordains a chosen people and nation, and they do not complete their mission.  God chooses another time, nation and people through which to work his providence.

During the First Israel's slavery in Egypt, the chosen nation was able to indemnify or pay back Abraham's failure when he failed to cut the doves in half when making an offering to God.

Even though his descendants have been cursed for this failure, Abraham indemnified that mistake by having to offer Issac, God could work through Abraham's family, in order to do this, they endured 400 years of slavery.

After the 400 year period of slavery ended, Moses severed his ties to Satan by the powers of the three miracles and ten calamities, and headed for Canaan. Likewise, the period of Christian persecution by the Roman Empire.

This time period had to be indemnifie.  In other words, this time period repeated. Therefore Christians indemnified the past by the offering of saints as living sacrifices, keeping the Sabbath and partaking in Holy Communion and Baptism.

Then after this 400-year persecution period, Jesus in spirit along with his followers, influenced Emperor Constantine and moved him to recognize Christianity publicly in year 313. Then Theodosius I declared Christianity the national religion.

In this way, Christians came to be restored, spiritually, out of the Satanic world.

According to the law, God subjugated Pharaoh by giving Moses external miracles and signs.

After the period of slavery in Egypt had ended, Moses set up the center of the Old Testament by receiving the Ten Commandments and words on Mount Sinai. By receiving the tablets of stone, the tabernacle and the ark of the covenant, the First Israel, the chosen nation, came to set up the will to receive the Messiah.

Likewise, after the period of persecution by the Roman Empire, the Second Israel, the chosen nation, decided on the New Testament by collecting the records of the apostles  to fulfill spiritually the Ten commandments and the ideal of the holy temple of the Old Testament Age.

This laid the groundwork to receive the Lord of the Second Advent, which comes at our time, by establishing churches centering on the words of the New Testament. After the period of Jesus, he and the Holy Spirit have been leading Christians directly. In all periods.

Throughout biblical history, there was always a central figure such as Noah, Abraham and Jacob.  Yet, after Jesus's coming, he did not set up any one person as the central figure of the whole providence. 

We do not read of anyone coming after Jesus bringing a new truth such as Noah, Abraham and Moses. God had labored to bring such a person, but there were many failures of His people to bring about such a person before our time.

In the period of the judges, after the Israelites, led by Joshua and Caleb, entered the blessed land of Canaan, they formed a new nation of God's elect, centering on the judges in the new land given to each tribe. Thus they established the foundation of the Israelite feudal society.

Likewise, in the period of Christian churches under the patriarchal system of Christianity, after its liberation from the Roman Empire, which represented the Satanic world, spread the gospel to the Germanic tribes, who had moved to Western Europe because of the invasion by the Huns in the 4th century.

By setting up the Germanic people as a new people of God's elect in the new land of Western Europe, they established the foundation of the Christian feudal society.


Feudal Society Failed

In Moses's time, the people of Israel set up the foundation of substance through the tabernacle as the symbolic being of the Messiah.

Therefore, after they entered Canaan, the Israelite nation in the period of judges should have exalted the will of the tabernacle of God under the leadership of the Judges.

But, by living among the seven tribes of Canaan, the representative of Satan's society, the tribes did not destory them as ordered by God, and the Israelites came to worship Canaan's idols and their evil customs, thus bringing about great chaos in their faith.

Likewise, in the period of Christian churches under the patriarchal system, the Christians should have exalted the will of the church as the image-entity of the Messiah.

Instead, there came about a great confusion in their faith partially due to the influence of the many miscellaneous religions of the German people.

The Israelites received Jesus only after the 400-year period of Roman persecution.   Therefore, in order to restore this by indemnity, Christians now can receive the Lord of the Second Advent only after the 400-year period of preparation for the Second Coming of the Messiah. This began with the Pope's return to Rome from his life of captivity in Avignon.

Let us observe how the background and environment were formed in each of the two periods which were the preparation periods to receive the Messiah.

At the time of the first coming of the Messiah, God sent the prophet Malachi to His chosen nation 430 years in advance, having him prophesy the coming of the Messiah which would be Jesus. He reformed Judaism, preparing Israel as the chosen nation to receive Jesus.

Meanwhile, among the Gentiles, at about the same time, God had Gautama Buddha of India (565-485 B.C.) pioneer a new base for Buddhism by improving Hinduism. Also, in Greece He had Socrates (470-399 B.C.) pioneer the period of Hellenic culture. In the Orient, He had Confucius (552-479 B.C.) set up human ethics and morality through Confucianism, thus having them establish the culture and religion suitable for the place and people in order that they may make necessary spiritual preparation to receive the coming Messiah.

This explains the mystery to why cultures all over the world had similar customs, religions and beliefs even though they were not in comunications.  Many fables such as the city of Atlantis tries to describe such a phenomenon.  Without knowing God's providence to restore man back to His ideal,possible to know the reason behind the history of events.

God prepared this basis, foundation around the world in order to unify all the regions of various religions and cultures into one sphere of Christian culture.  God planned for the Christian culture to absorb and win over Judaism, Hellenism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and other religions from around the world. This was God's ideal to bring World Peace in this way.


Democratic Sphere Usher in Messiah

The Renaissance period occurred in order to restore history through indemnity. This period served as a background and environment to establish a foundation for the Second Coming of the Messiah. In addition, the rapid progress in politics, economy, culture, science and all other aspects of human endeavor that we enjoy today all began in the Renaissance period.

The political territory in Jesus's day was formed by the rise of the Roman Empire.  Romans had ease of communication in all directions, and the vast cultural territory formed centering on the Hellenic language. This established the foundation to expand the ideas of the Messiah - from Israel to Jesus, to Rome centering on Israel, and then to the world centering on Rome.

Likewise, since we are living in the days of the Lord's return, the democratic sphere, which is based on freedom, is covering almost every corner of the earth. Transportation and communication shortens the extremes between East and West. Also, due to the free exchange of languages and cultures, the true ideology for the Second Advent of the Messiah can freely and swiftly flow into the hearts of all mankind.

It is easy to see this is the best foundation to spread the truth and ideology of the Second Messiah worldwide within the shortest possible time. In other words, the Internet, the ability to go anywhere in the world in under an hour was brought about to prepare a way to spread the Messiah's message to the world's people upon his returns. 

Once the world accepts and follows the returned Messiah, centered on his new truth, the world will head toward God's ideal of peace.

You Can Save the World

If saving the world was as easy as all the superheroes make it - a woman screams for help and the hero swoops down for the rescue, World Peace would have happened by now.

There is another factor keeping us from obtaining peace on all levels of society that superheroes can only dream of solving.

 

Heroes use their flight and power to save a young woman falling from a building, take out the bad guys or stop a train from hitting a little boy.  Then, the hero goes home, or goes to work and tries to blend into the rest of society merely by wearing a pair of glasses. 

One might wonder, why do we need a SUPERhero for those kinds of situations?  I mean we have the military, we have EMTs, firemen and the police?  Do these professionals do a great job of protecting the city like Spiderman and Superman everyday?

If you had a Will Smith superhero character with all of the power his character enjoyed in Hancock, I wouldn't waste it on such superfluous goals such as to find a mate for just one night or stop cocaine runners.  We already have heroes in society to saves us from those realities.  Humanity wants a TRUEhero, one who can rescue us beyond our own human powers. 

Maybe it is too high of an expectation.  I mean these characters originated from comic books meant for just pasttime, for our enjoyment.  Plus these macho rich, characters live in a fictional world where the only problems people encounter are external ones - robots taking over, insane people holding people hostage, terrorist blowing up a building - heroes serve their purpose in their own small world.  In our world, we have more conflicts, more problems, and in order to bring us into a World of Peace, it will take an even greater hero. 


The World in Search of a Savior

One that can save us beyond the physical salvation of a burning building.  The world needs a hero that saves us from the spiritual pain we inherited at birth.  A hero that can save us from the suffering inflicted within every human being. 

For the religious this may be Jesus, Buddha, Confucius and Muhammad.  They brought truth to the suffering of people of their time. These four teachers of the four main religions were able to teach their followers how to take control over their bodies. 

Yet, there is still a self-contradiction within even the most faithful.  Even though Jesus died for our sins, while on earth, our bodies are still afflicted with the results of sin.  Poverty, Sadness, depression, anxiety, disease, etc.  Many people believe this is part of the creation and that sin will forever remain with humanity on the earth. 


But the Messiah came to completely remove sin.  Then you say he did. 

That is correct, the Savior has taken our sin and gave us spiritual salvation where we can live eternally with God after death.  On the other hand, can we deny that sin is even in the most devout Christian who follows Jesus's teaching and pass it on to their children?

If you look at Jesus's life, he opened a way for us to reach Paradise, but even he himself his own body was tortured, his flesh was torn from the body and he lost his life. 

Yes, the crucifixion was necessary as God's second choice to save us from our sin through sacrifice at the demand of His enemy, but one must think about it - human sin destroyed even Jesus's body.  Who denies that because of sin, Jesus's own flesh had to leave this earth?This is why even though through his flesh we have been forgiven of sin, Satan can still attack us, our flesh, our bodies physically.  Jesus asked, how can one person surpass his own teacher?

This is why the faithful still have disease, cancer, untimely deaths and the such.  You can see it everyday with our bodies open to diseases, horrible pain and physical attacks. 

Yes, the devout are protected by the Holy Spirit and God from tragedies, but sin was not completely removed from the earth even after Jesus's accomplishment.  Is it because God made evil part of creation and it will be a constant struggle in our lives for ever?

Any god that creates a world where his children must fight sin for eternity - that type of god is not the Creator that Jesus followed, but another god that has taken God's position and masked his identity for thousands of years. 

The fact that God gave us Jesus is a Testament that God wants sin eradicated.  The Messiah came by God's mandate to bring an end to sin - One Man came - an individual to bring World Peace.

So, why does sin still exist?

 

Sin is Not Part of God's Plan


The world needs a superhero to return and save us from the results that sin bears on our physical bodies once and for all. 

Which equals to no more disease, no more hurt, sadness suffering etc. on earth as well as heaven.  This would be a World of Peace or the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

Superhero movies, no matter how bad the script is,  continue to break box office records.  If humans wish for a hero and love superheroes so much, from whom or what do we humans want to be saved?  Why do we Americans wish to be rescued?  We are not starving, we have all that we need, therefore, why do we need someone to rescue us?  Rescue America from what?


If we are born into sin, which bores action that takes us away from God, that means we are continuously born in a way that needs to be corrected.  How can we eliminate this?  Do we continue to believe that the all mighty God cannot save His pitiful children except halfway through the death of His only son? 

How can we eliminate the dirty lineage we are born into? 

Should we stubbornly stick to the ideal that we are completely free from sin when we still give birth to children who have to be saved from sin?  From the beginning when man chose to eat and disobey the commandment, that impurity connected us to a dirty lineage.

To think that we are in God's direct lineage is not right, for a god to bear children of sin is not God the Creator but another god - the lowly god Satan. 

In other words, when our ancestors chose to believe Satan's words we chose Satan's word, do eat for it will open your eyes and you will become great, we chose Satan's lineage, Satan's will for the world and that is why we live in a world of hell right at this moment.  You are currently living in a world chosen by the little god Satan - his ideal world is the opposite of God's world to keep us from God - to destroy yours and my life.  Why do we deny this when we look around at the world situation today?  Does this world perpetuate a world of God's ideal or Satan's ideal? 

God absolutely intends that one day His children will be born within His realm of protection, and without the need for religion.

Heroes Sacrifice For World Peace

So you and I want to be heroes or at least see a superhero movie at the local theater.  Do Superheroes have a easy life? If you rewatch any hero series or read their comics, you will see that at one point they always suffer some great lose due to having such a public mission.  They lose loves, their family is affected and it is a very lonely position.

If we truly understood what it takes to be a hero we wouldn't volunteer for the position even though great power comes attached as part of the package.  It entails a life of sacrifice. It will not be an easy life to save the world. 

We all want to live in an Utopian world, a World of Peace.  Where do we have to go to achieve this?  We have to go through the realm of an original family of love.  World Peace starts from a True Family. 

How will this happen? 

That's where the Truehero comes in.  He must connect us back to God's direct lineage.  Then we say we are in God's lineage, God is within us, we are crafted from His image.

Then we must ask, if God made Jesus His Son, then what are we?  Jesus is God's True Son and through Jesus we are adopted sons and daughter, not True.

This hero will do this no matter what the circumstances.  If a vast ocean stands before him, he must swim across it.  If a high mountain blocks his path, he has to climb the Himalayas with his bare feet.  Who is willing to give up their luxurious life to follow this path through tons of people spitting at their feet like Martin Luther King, Jr.? 

A Truehero will have to go where the lowest, saddest and most stricken person in hell exist, and win victory over the strongest satans that oppose him.  In this way, the Truehero cuts a path of suffering that allows even the lowest person to follow toward a life of God.  This describes thousands of saints and religious leaders who seemingly were defeated in the end.  They are our heroes who laid a foundation for us to follow and bring humanity back to God.

In other words, in order to get rid of Satan's lineage - you have to go where Satan refuses to follow you.  Could Satan follow Jesus and tempt him away from God? 

No. 

Jesus and hundreds of other saints had cut a clear path of suffering for the purpose of separating themselves from Satan. 

Jesus suffered so much that he endured pain more than any person in history up until that time period, then he won victory over all of his enemies.  This way opens the path for you and me and every human to follow toward spiritual liberation from sin. 

In order for us to save the world from sin completely and dominate Satan back to his original position of servant, when this Truehero returns, we will have to follow the path that satan cannot follow, then satan leaves him.  Then this Great Teacher will give us the tools to follow this path and we will be able to completely eradicate Satan individually, and for the first time on earth we will have the power to eradicate sin from our earthly lives and bore children without the accusation of the original sin by following God's true path.

We have to go where satan refuses to follow us and torture us, we must shed blood, sweat and tears based on a heart of true love.  Evil can not love, evil can not be humble or love its enemy, therefore, when you practice this way evil will leave you  - this is an ironclad prinicple.  The reason why evil dominates us in this world is because we follow it, we give and take with evil ways.

When we conquer evil within ourselves using the tools of the Returned Messiah, then we become heroes when we spread this into our families which spreads to the nation and whole world.


Qualification of a Hero

Every faith can attest that Jesus was a hero and a savoir of the people.  The reason why he was only able to give spiritual salvatio and not physical, which a world without sin - heaven on earth, was because the people could not follow Jesus.

His disciples scattered and so did his teachings and that is why he Returns as a Messiah in our time to complete his teachings.  The people of his day did not have all of the scientific knowledge, the foundation of religions of suffering to stand on.  We can now receive in totally The Second Coming teachings that will bring us to a world, on earth, without suffering and sin. 

Is this going to happen automatically - poof, heaven on earth?

How can we rid ourselves of sin if we do it in a comfortable position, without being higher than those who are connected to satan?

You must be willing to love even your worst enemy more than you love your own children and save him.  Do we bless our enemies or curse them?  This standard of heart is what it will take to save the world.  

You must not live just for yourself, or your family, you must live every action for your nation and the world.  Then you must pick up your cross and follow the returned hero - the returned Messiah. 

In the physical reality everything is owned by satan. 

In Satan's world, you are forced to pay a tax on money you earn then on everything you buy, then your house, car etc are taxed again, annually for as long as you "own" it.  You do not truly own anything it is an illusion.  Who pays for something they own? 

In God's world, taxes will be voluntary and paid freely and used for the purpose of the whole and does not cause us to lose our freedoms.

Since human beings brought Satan to earth, it has been turned into hell. We must bring God here. We must do this through True Love.

This sad reality is because humans brought Satan to earth by choosing to follow him.  We must bring God to be leader over this earth.  We can only do that through the high standard of loving the enemy more than our loved ones, our own spouse and friends.

This is how you save your family, your children, the world - by releasing satan from you on an individual level, then your family level all the way to the nation.  Only then will you be connected to the coming World of Peace.
