THE NEW TESTAMENT

The Gospel According to MATTHEW

 

chapter 28

Earthquakes and an angel of the lord. The earthquakes were likely a writers liberty. The angel a friend of Jesus with a white shirt on. Definitely not an alien. Like what the church has made angels into. Some with wings. Like a flying horse or Elephant.

Angels are the, what Nietzsche called, overmen. The next evolutionary stage of us. It can be seen but I admit it took me most of my life to see it.

But that ain't the story. The story is: wife and mother were waiting to see Jesus not there.

"He told his disciples he was going to Galilee. Did you think he was joking. Oh ye of limited faith. Run along and give praises."

So they did.

On the way, Jesus jumped out and said.

"Kiss me."

Mary Magdalene did kiss him.

"Promise me we'll go away and you'll stay out of politics and religion."

"Oh. Mary. You know it was me who repeated one is not to swear."

"We could go to Turkey, Greace or Amsterdam."

Jesus sent his mother to tell the disciples to get to Galilee for a party and took his wife to a lonely beach and held hands and talked about the kids.

The soldiers went and told the priests. They told the soldiers to say the disciples stol the body while they slept on the job.

They gave them big cash. Or so the writer tell us so we remember.

Whatever.

I think the point has been made. Christians say Jesus lives. Jews say he died.

Both are sort of true.

It's a mute point.

The point is: there ain't no real difference between Jew and Gentile. We have more human rights than ever in history. There's a long road before us but we got the history of the universe to back us up.
