THE NEW NEW TESTAMENT

The Gospel According to LUKE

 

chapter 07

Luke tells the story with the roman officer, a dear friend, Luke lets us know. Don’t trouble yourself coming over. I know if you say it’s gonna be all right. Then everything’s gonna be all right. If we have the faith.

We are often bombarded with contradictions. Here the roman soldier is a friend of the Jewish elders who ask that Jesus help the soldier’s servant. They even tell us that the soldier built a synagogue. And this, we are lead to believe, is a good thing. Even if they are temples of poisonous lies.

Luke ads the story of Jesus telling a young man to get up out of his coffin. A real horror story. The story went throughout the land.

Just a reminder. John the Baptist is the half brother of Jesus through the Lord, who we speculate on probability to be Herod. We know not for certain which Lord, only that it was the same Lord. And he was the Lord at the time. Even if they weren’t brothers their mothers are cousins. They are not strangers.

So it must be seen as redundant when John sends his disciples to ask Jesus if he’s the one.

Let’s interpret: he might have been asking his cousin and brother Jesus if he was ready. If he understood that he had to be the one for no other lover of the goddess was prepared to lay down his life for the underdogs. Women and children.

“Tell him to eat some more bugs and that I am one of the many to come.”

Here is a reminder regarding the question why the hell John the Baptist dropped people in the river.

“They needed to take a bath.”

Well, there it is.

Take them to the river and wash. Put some olive oil on their dry skin.

Jesus explains why John doesn’t dress up in nice clothes and hang out in palaces. And he explained that he was greater than any man that every lived. Except for anyone in heaven. It’s all repeated dribble.

GNB vs. 33: “John the Baptist came, and he fasted and drank no wine, and you said ‘He has a demon in him!’ 34. The Son of Man came, and he ate and drank, and you said, ‘Look at this man! He is a glutton and a drinker, a friend of tax collectors and other outcasts!’ 35. God’s wisdom, however, is shown to be true by all who accept it.” EQ.

If we can change the word God to instinct, where would we be. Let us remember that the concept of instinct was as far removed from their vocabulary as was evolution and dinosaur. Of course God mostly means the authority figure throughout most of the bible. Justification for evil tyranny.

“Stop trying to make sense of it if it is senseless.”

“Okay.”

So anyway, Jesus is having a meal at a priest’s house and a woman comes in to wash his feet with her tears and her hair. Then she applied perfume. And the priest didn’t figure the woman of ill repute should be touching him.

And he answers to Simon, who is Peter, his brother, a story that explains that if she has much to be forgiven she will be more thankful than those who have little to be forgiven. But this is backwards to what Jesus was on about. He was attacking the establishment. He didn’t judge tax collectors or prostitutes. He rather liked them.

It seems early for the feet ritual. Jesus has many chapters to go before he gets nailed on a cross. Perhaps he just wanted to piss off the priest by telling the woman of ill repute that her sins were forgiven.


chapter 08

I think it is time for the Elephant story.

Eastern Religion.

Seven blind monks are ask by their master to examine the elephant and they each take hold of the elephant and proclaim their new wisdom of the Elephant. And in case we have sleepy people still with us. For this religion, the Elephant is it.

As in it. The it. It does not mean the universe is an elephant. It means it is big. It is a story to be interpreted. To help explain how it is. For, less anyone has forgotten or not yet thought of it, we are trying to understand, to know our environment. So that we can better survive in it. This is why we learn, to better survive. And anyone that says knowledge is evil, just obey. Kill them.

“Can you say that.”

“It would be better for them that they had not been born.”

“The elephant.”

Well of course none of the blind monks are completely wrong. Unfortunately they each have only held a small part of the Elephant. One will think of an Elephant as a hard tusk. One will think of it as a floppy ear.

“Did one grab it by the balls.”

“One shoved his hand up its vagina. The elephant is female. Most people don’t know that.”

To understand the whole of the elephant the seven blind monks must put together what they have each learned. And even then, they have just begun to understand the elephant.

“And what does that have to do with Mary Magdalene and her seven demons.”

“We must remember that at the time of the writing of this story, women were considered to be on a lower level of holiness before God. And Mary Magdalene was most likely, in another religion, the goddess of fertility. And in the story she most likely had seven children with Jesus H. Christ. And that is not a joke.”

Now what about Joanna and Susanna. And all the other women very seldom mentioned in the book of the men’s club.

GNB vs. 3: “Joanna, whose husband Chuza was an officer in Herod’s court; and Susanna, and many other women who used their own resources to help Jesus and his disciples.” EQ.

Well thank you to Luke for including that verse. It is both kind and revealing. The women in Herod’s court were helping Jesus and his crew and it was the writers later that made them look insignificant. In fact, there is good reason to believe that the women played a very big part in the rebellion against the evil ignorance propagating men’s club of hell’s slugs.

Jesus was just the messenger. But before we get carried away, let’s move on and hammer at a couple other points, one of which is the number twelve. This number is important for one reason. Astrology. And no other.

To make if very clear. Jesus. The sun. Thus the connection to sun cult. And the twelve disciples are the 12 astrological houses. Don’t believe, can’t believe it. Then do your homework.

Okay, we have the seed story again. The lowdown is you try to teach the words of wisdom and understanding because it needs to be done. Some will understand. Many won’t.

And again, the bit where his mother and brother want him to go home and stop pissing off the priests and lawyers.

First off, his brothers were always with him. They were on his campaign. And maybe his mother worried about him but I have a strong idea growing in my head that the mother of Jesus was no idiot. And she played a big part in making him into the rebel he was. Luke doesn’t even suggest that they wanted to take him home. That he was mad.

And Jesus did not say verse 21.

GNB vs. 21: Jesus said to them all, “My mother and brother are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” EQ.

“But it says he said it.”

“The writers embellish in the name of the Emperor. What Jesus would say is, ‘We are all of one family. I will spend my time with those I enjoy spending my time with.”

“Wouldn’t he say ‘with whom I …”

“Shut up, we’ll never get this goddamn book finished.”

Luke butchers the mad man and the suicidal pigs story. It often looks like Luke is tired of writing some shit that is supposed to go in there and he only half heartedly scribbles it all down.

Then Jarvis and his twelve-year-old daughter that could be dying but is only sleeping. Chances are that he is related somehow to Jesus. More important is the fact that she is twelve. And the woman Jesus heals on the way was bleeding twelve years.

We are to remember this number. More important that the story.

It is a sun cult. Christianity is a religion based on a story that was adapted from a sun cult. This is not a new revelation. It is the history of the religion. Do you homework.


chapter 09

Here’s the next idea. There can only be reincarnation.

There is nothing new under the sun. Without reincarnation, death and birth, there is no evolution. Without evolution there are no one-celled creatures. With no one-celled creatures, life ain’t worth talking about or saving.

You suicidal maniacs.

Jesus had if figured. With the help of who knows how many people, he needed to have twelve disciple. And they went around telling stories. To get people thinking. Like pulling the cord on a gas powered lawn mower.

Sometimes you pull and the machine springs into action. Some machines need to be tuned up and oiled before a pull need come into the question.

Which proves anything you want it to prove.

Herod was confused. He had chopped off John’s head. Luke would have us believe it had nothing to do with Herod’s twelve-year-old stepdaughter who he wanted to fuck.

Herod was confused about who Jesus was, which is a little silly since Jesus was his half brother. And many of the women in Herod’s court were often helping Jesus in his awaken the angel in the ignorant beast campaign.

But they tell us he thought Jesus might be John TB come back. Which is also silly if he had John’s head on a platter at the request of his stepdaughter.

And again the 5,000 people who are hungry.

Now it’s a much bigger number. And some don’t have water either. And they too need to be fed. Not by a miracle but by kicking out the Catholic Church and their idiotic rules and setting up self run schools. Most starvation is directly related to first world blind greed.

GNB vs. 20: ... “Who do you say that I am?”
Peter answered, “You are God’s Messiah.” EQ.

Let us remember that Jesus did not believe in God. He was a pagan or heathen or however you want to define someone that wants heaven now. He loved Life. Life was his God. He was the voice of the fish. The fish that live in water. This is not a joke.

In some places they didn’t want to listen to Jesus so James and John, his brothers, suggested they call fire down from heaven and burn them all.

“No James and John, my crazy nitro brothers. We ain’t gonna kill them just ‘cause they don’t want to hear from us. I have not come to destroy life but to save it. We will go somewhere else.”

Some more people wanted to follow Jesus and he said let the dead bury the dead and foxes have their hole. And if you plough a field don’t be looking backwards.
