Anyone studying the life of Jesus Christ in the NT will discover that there is an incredible amount of disparity on several issues among the different writers. The assertion that the NT was inspired by the sacred Ruach is really an insult to Almighty Yahweh. The same event is reported differently depnding on the writer.
Some resourceful preachers have a field day on Easter season telling how badly Jesus Christ suffered. They go to great length describing the different techniques used by the Roman soldiers to crack a cat-of-9-tails on a bare back, and so on. Actually the suffering of Jesus Christ was brief and his death was swift and sweet, too. Even Pontius Pilate who was an expert at crucifying was surprised that he died so quickly. The most painful moments prior to his crucifixion were at the Gethsemane Garden where Jesus Christ really sweated blood at the thought of dying. On his way to the crucifixion site he managed to stop and do some prophetic preaching, too. Nobody can really believe that Jesus Christ suffered that much, except the Christians who need to believe that to make the guilt on the Jews that much more impacting.
Luke 23:27 (NIV) A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him.
28 Jesus turned and said to them, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 For the time will come when you will say, `Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!'
30 Then "`they will say to the mountains, "Fall on us!" and to the hills, "Cover us!" '
31 For if men do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?"
In his final address to the people that he came to save, Jesus Christ had no words of comfort. He asked a large crowd of people including Jewish women that were following him not to feel sorry for him, but to cry for themselves because what they were going to suffer was much worse than he ever suffered. Then Jesus Christ wraps up his prophetic message with a statement that is totally contrary to the word and spirit of Yahweh’s promise to Israel. Apparently the writers of the NT were not well versed in the Tanakh.
Psalms 113:9 * He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise Yahweh.
Isaiah 51:3-4 * Yahweh will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of Yahweh. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing. “Listen to me, my people; hear me, my nation: The law will go out from me; my justice will become a light to the nations.
Isaiah 54:1 * "Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband," says Yahweh.
Jeremiah 31:13 * Then maidens will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
Bear in mind that Isaiah 54 follows immediately after Isaiah 53 that the Christians use to prove that Jesus Christ is the messiah of Israel. I use Isaiah 54:1 to prove that Jesus Christ is a fraud. In the Tanakh Yahweh identifies himself fully with Israel, not so Jesus Christ. Obviously the Jews are not Jesus Christ’s people. One of the first statements made by Saint John in his “gospel” is that “he (i.e. Jesus Christ) came to his own and his own did not welcome him.” Apparently Jesus Christ credentials were lacking.
John 1:11 (KJV) He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
There is no record anywhere that any significant number of Jewish women wished to be barren and to commit suicide by asking the hills and mountains to fall on them, not even during the recent holocaust was there any significant report of mass suicide or suicide wish among them. According to Jesus Christ the worse is still to come. It is duly documented in the NT that Jesus Christ is unkind to the Jews, especially to the women and their children. There is no record that his prophecy about a mass suicide wish by the Jewish women ever took place. Christianity is looking forward to it so they can strengthen their faith seeing prophecy in the making. To understand the weirdness of Jesus Christ’s prophecy one has to remember that no woman is on record in the Tanakh ever wishing to be barren, but all the opposite. Practically all the examples are of women that were barren, but wished to have babies. To be barren or to remain a virgin is against Yahweh’s command to be fruitful and multiply.
Jesus Christ sweated drops of blood to dramatize his fearsome suffering. Now he is predicting that the suffering of the large number of Jewish women that were following him was going to be so extreme that will put them at the edge of wishing to commit suicide. Jesus Christ had no words of any kind for any male Jew. Honestly, the Roman soldiers were awfully kind to him, too. They got somebody else to carry his 300-pounder cross all the way to the crucifixion site. So Jesus Christ didn’t fare that bad after all. Even to the last moments of life he managed to have large crowds to follow him. He was not really rejected by the Jews. Everywhere he went large crowds would follow him even on his way to the crucifixion site. His alleged rejection is one more statement made a few times by the writers of the NT “to fulfill that which was written,” they said, misquoting Isaiah 53. The fact is that at the peak of his career Jesus Christ begged Judas to go out and betray him “quickly.” A real funny thing occurred to me on the way to the forum. There is no prophecy anywhere stating that the messiah of Israel is going to be betrayed. The bit of the “30 pieces” in Zachariah has nothing to do with any betrayal. Anyone with 2 neurons in his/her brain and capable of reading can tell that.
Zechariah 11:7 * So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, particularly the oppressed of the flock. Then I took two staffs and called one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock.
8 In one month I got rid of the three shepherds. The flock detested me, and I grew weary of them
9 and said, "I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish. Let those who are left eat one another's flesh."
10 Then I took my staff called Favor and broke it, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.
11 It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew it was the word of Yahweh.
12 I told them, "If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it." So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.
13 And Yahweh said to me, "Throw it to the potter"--the handsome price at which they priced me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of Yahweh to the potter.
14 Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Then Yahweh said to me, "Take again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16 For I am going to raise up a shepherd over the land who will not care for the lost, or seek the young, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy, but will eat the meat of the choice sheep, tearing off their hoofs.
17 "Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May the sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered, his right eye totally blinded!"
While hanging on the cross Jesus Christ had plenty of time to discuss among other things the trip that the “good burglar” and he were going to make together after they expire. He promised to take the “good burglar” with him to paradise that very day. There is a bit of a controversy about where that place may be. There is no record that Jesus Christ went to paradise or to Heaven for that matter. After his alleged resurrection he is telling everybody not to touch him because he didn’t go to Heaven yet. So Jesus Christ didn’t go to Heaven when he died. Some Christians claim that he went to Hell to purge for the sins of the world and to use the occasion to do some preaching, too. The dream of every preacher is to preach in Hell where the chances for success are almost guaranteed. So we all must wonder where in the world Jesus Christ took the “good burglar” the day they both died. There is a bit of controversy on Jesus Christ’s flip-flop about being touched by a woman. It seems that nobody was checking with each other while putting together the NT.
John 20:17 (KJV) Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and [to] my God, and your God.
Luke 24:39 (NIV) Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."
In Christianity the rules are made as the game is played, I guess. So in much less than a week Jesus Christ got over his alleged fearsome pain and suffering. It surely doesn’t even come near the pain and suffering of the Jews through the holocaust alone. Some of them really suffered months and even years before they died out of physical and emotional pain. As I look at the record of Jesus Christ I can assert without a reasonable doubt that in spite of assertions to the contrary he doesn’t really know what human suffering is all about. I wonder why I never took a closer look at the claims of Jesus Christ. I wasted so much time in Christianity that is no joke. I was told what to believe. Then I was schooled how to tell people what to believe. Now I do my own thinking.
