Jesus

  All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.  John,10-8               Jesus is very much alive. Circling planet Earth in his cylidrical Space Temple with many dormant christian Souls on board. The Catholic Church, and the Christian religion in general, portray Jesus as a prince of peace and love without sin or malice.

Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God.
 — Matthew, 19:17.

The Jewish priests summond Joseph, the stepfather of Joshua, and said unto him:“ Joshua is roaming about and claiming to be the Son of God. We know, and you know, whose son he is. And he is not the Son of God, but the illegitimate son of Mary. And we want you to banish him from your house.” Joseph was terrified by the fury of the priests, and he did as he was bidden.

Foxes have holes,and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
 — Luke, 9:58. 

The family of Jesus besieged, and begged him, to stop his blasphemies: but to no avail. Jesus hated each and  every member of his family; for their disbelieve in him.                                                                                                                                                                      If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and  children, and brethren, and sister, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.    Luke, 14 :26c                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              One cannot play the piano and dig a hole at the same time. Nor can one be family orientated and pursue the Kingdom of God as well. Jesus try’d. It didn’t work. In the end – Jesus disown’d his family.

God’s chosen Shepherd never is a paragon of man. For God is not really interested in whom you pretend to be, but rather who you really are.

You are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
 — Luke,16:15

The Jewish priests rejected Jesus because he did not measure up to their expectations of the Messiah. Even today, they regard him as a blasphemous impostor, and await the long coming real Messiah. Who crucified Jesus? Pilate washed his hands of it. And the Jews try to do the same. No one lives and no one dies without the Holy Ghost’s consent.
