Character of
Christ
The Prince Of
Peace
" Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth ? I
[Jesus] tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from hence forth there shall be five in one house
divided, three against two, and two against three." - Luke
12:51-2
"Think not that I [Jesus]
am come to send peace on earth: I come not to send peace, but a sword." -
Matthew 10:34
"... for all they that
take the sword shall perish with the sword." -- Matthew
26:52
"... and he that hath no
sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." -- Luke
22:36
"...But those mine
enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring
hither and slay them before me."
-- Luke 19:27
"...And I will kill her children
with death: "...(Jesus)...Revelation 2:23
( Note: In the
Revised Version of the Bible, the word children has been
reinterpreted as followers. Please refer to the King James
Version of the Bible for verification.
)
"..So then because thou art
lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my
mouth." ( Jesus ) -- Revelation 3:
16
And to think that these ravings
are supposed to be the sayings of one some call the prince of
peace.
"For I [jesus] am come to
set a man at variance against his father and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of
his own house hold." - Matthew 10:35-6
"If any man come unto me, and
hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and
brethren, and
sisters, yea, and his own life also, he
cannot be my disciple." -- Luke 14:26
" Let the dead bury the
dead."---- Matthew 8:22
" Jesus answered them, Is it not
written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?"
-- John 10:34
According to thiis scripture,
Jesus thought that the Jewish law (i.e., the Old Testament)
reported that he said the Jews were gods.
"All that ever came before me [Jesus]
are thieves and robbers .... "- John 10:8
"Not everyone who says unto me, 'Lord!
Lord!' (another example of jesus' deep humility?) shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Many will
say in that day unto me, 'Lord! Lord!
have we not prophesied in thy name and
in thy name cast out devils and thy name done many
wonderful things.' Then will I profess
unto them, 'l never knew you. Depart from me, ye that work
iniquity.” (matthew
7:21-23).
In matthew 7:14 he says: "Narrow
is the way that leadeth into life, and few there be that find
its"
So presumably, not only are all
non-christians going to hell, but most
of jesus' own followers as
well.
"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings
of mine, and doeth them, I [Jesus] will
liken him unto a wise man ....- Matthew 7:24
"And
if thy
right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it
is profitable for thee that one of thy
members should perish ..."-- Matthew 5:29
Who in their right mind would pluck out
their eye and think that it was profitable?
"'He that believeth not shall be damned," (Mark
16:16)
"These shall go away into everlasting punishment." (Matt.
25:46)
"Cast into hell, into the fire that never
shall be quenched." (Mark 9:45).
"... and he that hath no sword, let him sell his
garment, and buy one." -- Luke 22:36
And at the ninth hour
Jesus cried..... " My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me ? "
Mark 15:34. If Jesus cannot save himself, how can he save
mankind?
These declarations
discredit the being who uttered them, the book containing them, and
the church endorsing them. The Eternal
Torturer deserves not worship, but the execration of
mankind. Christian persecutors thus
defended their infamies: "If the all-wise God punishes his
creatures with tortures infinite in
cruelty and duration, why should not his ministers, so far as they
can, imitate him?"
The Inquisition is
man's nearest approach to God's hell. If hell is fictitious, O
Modernist, so is heaven.
They are the
theological Siamese twins.
"
I cannot myself feel that either in the matter of wisdom or in the
matter of virtue Christ stands
quite as high as some other people
known to history. I think I should put Buddha and Socrates above
Him in
those respects."- Betrand Russell - " Why I am not
a Christian "
The
ghastly history of the past 2000 years in Europe -- the religious
wars, the witch hunts, the suppression of knowledge, the tyrannical
governments, the burnings at the stake and other tortures,
the fear and the guilt were
all the inevitable result of such a man
as Jesus being admired and of his
ideas being
taken seriously.
A
psychiatrist, Clifford Allen, wrote that if a man came into his
consulting room and made the
kind of
statements Jesus is supposed to have made according to the New
Testament, he would
classify him a
paranoid schizophrenic.
The symptoms of
this disorder in a book called "
Understanding Psychiatry by L. R. Hinsie, MD
(Collier Books) ". This is what it
said about
the last
stages of
paranoid schizophrenia:
"
The overwhelming power
achieved by
the patient
engenders a
sense of omnipotence, particularly
when he
feels that he is able to resist the
temptations that come to him from the entire world. Now there is but a short
stop to the conclusion that he is the Redeemer and in his delusional way, through the magic of belief, he is the sole power over the
universe. The persecutors will
disappear, and the patient is free to
run the world. He not only causes night
and day to come at his wishful command,
he controls all movement in
the universe. "
For 2000 years the people of the Western
world have been worshipping a mad man as a God.
For a spirited refutation of
Jesus' barbarous doctrine of damnation for disbelief, see Notes to
Queen Mab by Shelly, quoted in "The
Christ," p. 369. Belief is not voluntary.
Why didn't Jeus
invent printing or the steam engine, or discover the germ theory of
disease, or electricity and the
radio?
Kersey Graves' The World's Sixteen
Crucified Saviors lists fifteen other Christs who died to
appease
offended
deities.
" The Emperor Constantine,
who lifted Christianity into power, murdered his wife Fausta, and his eldest son Crispus, the same year that he convened the
Council of Nice to decide whether Jesus Christ was a man
or the Son of God. The Council decided that Christ was
consubstantial with the Father. This
was in the year A.D. 325 and is known
as the Nicea Creed. The Christians
are indebted to a wife-murderer for
settling the vexed question of the divinity of the Savior " -
Robert G. Ingersoll.
