1. Jesus was a man. (1 Timothy 2:5; Romans 5:15)
2. His name literally means Jehovah Is Salvation.
3. He ceased to exist when murdered. (1 Corinthians 15:3)
4. God has always existed. (Habakkuk 1:12)
5. God gave Jesus life. (Acts 2:32; Galatians 1:1)
Therefore, Jesus is not God.
No one is entitled to their own version of reality.
mm: 1. Jesus was a man. (1 Timothy 2:5; Romans 5:15)
jc: Jesus is called a man in the Bible because the world has not been able to bear the truth that the Creator takes on a body and dwells alongside the actual men, who are creatures that He supports from Invisibility by the functions of the Holy Spirit. The Lord has also not known Himself to be fully God, because it would have been disadvantageous. Very little is introduced into the Lord’s mind, that is not intended for revelation in His lifetime.
This cannot be the long-term solution, because the more discrimination the Invisible God brings into the body which bears His literal consciousness, the more painfully obvious it becomes that the creatures are sorely wanting in all good traits. Formerly the Lord has been seen as the top figure, without reckoning the isolation this brings, or noticing the Lord must bend down continuously to interact with anyone, no one anywhere near His higher standards. Eventually the religion must include that God can dwell on His planet.
mm: 2. His name literally means Jehovah Is Salvation.
jc: The name YHWH or Jehovah is also the Lord’s name, but it is intended to point more directly to the Invisible God, though as Jesus said no one approaches the Invisible God except through the Lord. Of course the Lord is not tied to a name, nor is any person. If Jesus’ name means “Jehovah is salvation,” then the name is embroiled in a metaphysical error. Jesus did not bring salvation to men, nor does the Invisible God intend to bestow it.
mm: 3. He ceased to exist when murdered. (1 Corinthians 15:3)
jc: The sentence illustrates the body-identification of the human mind. Only Jesus’ body ceased to exist, as a body, when He was killed. The atoms are now dispersed, a fact the Christians have not taken into account in their ridiculous superstitions their bodies will be reassembled at Judgment. Who’d want one of those older bodies anyway, when God is continually driving evolution forward into better bodies? The good news about Jesus is not that He resurrected a body, which is a power God does not have, but that His spirit left the body, prepared for further adventures, but as they’ve been so far, misadventures.
mm: 4. God has always existed. (Habakkuk 1:12)
jc: As God has existed, so has Jesus, what I call His “embodyable portion.”
mm: 5. God gave Jesus life. (Acts 2:32; Galatians 1:1)
jc: The works of the apostles are steeped in superstition and benightedness, hardly worth remembering except to note these were bent down to human desires and faulty conceptions. If you want to say God put His embodyable portion in a body, it is accurate.
mm: Therefore, Jesus is not God.
jc: No reasoning has been presented, just hatred. The human thinks if he has seen the body, he has known the man, but in fact there are myriad ranks of souls, some from above. A mind that cannot see the inner dimension is called indiscriminate and crude, nor can education help much. In this period of weak teachings from God, man has revealed his deficiencies proudly, conceiving the fact he found no opposition meant none existed.
mm: No one is entitled to their own version of reality.
jc: Actually each soul takes its own version of reality as a function of its limitations or capacities. MM has taken his own version of a reality, proud he can see a human body but unable to develop insights about mind or spirit, or to form a proper concept of authority. It isn’t a matter of entitlement, he just can’t be pushed any higher. If you stand beside him and say, “Look at these two people, obviously Person A has a much higher quality personality than Person B,” he responds in guttural tones like the apes use, “Two bodies, I have seen it all!” Men bind things to their level, calling violence the only power.
