THE NEW NEW TESTAMENT

The Gospel According to JOHN

 

chapter 19

Oh ye of no fucking common sense. Read the bloody books ye claim to believe and know that ye have been blind fools. Faith is madness.

So Pilate had Jesus whipped and put a crown of thorny branches on his head, gave him a purple robe. Everyone slapped him.

“Not bloody likely.”

Then Pilate asked the crowd for permission to let Jesus go free.

“Not bloody likely.”

But here we must remind the reader that the crown of thorns could be, very likely is, the sun. The center of our solar system. The sun cult. Jesus is the sun. Our God. Not a thinking god but as far as what made us, the sun is our God.

Well they wanted Jesus crucified. Even though Pilate could fine no reason to do so. And less we forget. This was not a democracy. In fact, the word democracy is a bit of a bad joke.

vs. 7: “We have a law that says he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.” EQ.

That is a flogging stupid law. You fucking stupid Jews.

The priests convinced him that in their law no one was allowed to say he was the son of god and Pilate figured if they wanted to crucify the man what did it matter what his own law said.

“Not bloody likely.”

Vs. 15: They shouted back, “Kill him! Kill him” Crucify him!” EQ.

“No they didn’t.”

Then Pilate took time to write a sign in three languages that proclaimed that Jesus was the king of the Jews.

“Not bloody likely.”

So Jesus took his cross. In this gospel he had no help. And after the soldiers crucified him they took his clothes and the robe Pilate had put on him.

Vs. 26: Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there; so he said to his mother, “He is your son.” EQ.

Which can be taken literally.

So the two of them lived together. And then Jesus got his cheep wine, or if the story need be more fun, his sleeping medicine.

John leaves out the darkness but harps on about because it was a Jewish holy day the next day, Pilate let a couple Jew friends stick the body in a tomb.

“Not bloody likely.”

The bodies were left to be eaten by birds and dogs. It was a real horror trip, crucifixion. And it wasn’t done in threes.

Vs. 41: There was a garden in the place where Jesus had been put to death, and in it there was a new tomb where no one had ever been buried. EQ.

Do not respect religion. It is a vile insult on human intelligence. A brutal insult. Stand up against it. Demand an end to the influence of religion. We need to stop being superstitious morons before we kill the life of this planet. Now.

Break the code of the Over Lords and reshape reality.


chapter 20

Just for the record, between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning is two days.

Well, John has a completely different story here at the tomb. The unnamed disciple and Peter come to the tomb to see it open and Jesus not lying there.

“What is the difference between Jesus Christ and Batman.”

“Just a few minor details.”

Religion was early theater. Sunday entertainment. Or Saturday for some. It was a time out of the busy schedule to go and hear fantastic stories.

Vs. 10: Then the disciples went back home. EQ.

Now we have Mary, the wife of Jesus, crying outside the tomb. She saw two men in white sitting in there each drinking a cup of tea. Herbal.

“What’s happening, woman. Why you crying.”

“Where is my dead Jesus.”

“He ain’t dead.”

“You can’t keep a good man down.”

Now then, Jesus comes in as well. But Mary thought he was the gardener.

“It’s me.”

“Well, fuck me, Jesus Christ. You scared the living shit out of me.”

“Oh come, I told you everything was gonna be all right.”

They didn’t take time out to fuck then and there. They wanted to get out of town and have a party. So Mary Magdalene went and invited all the disciples to the first supper after the big show.

The rest of it is forcing fiction into it with believing and not believing. Thomas touches Jesus before he believes his own eyes. Because, like holy cow. How can such a thing be.

Real.


chapter 21

Belief and Doubt are the enemies of understanding.

We are the gods, just like the priests knew and feared in Genesis 3. And why they have been terrorizing us with their Laws and Lies the last several thousand years.

This thing can snap. Your narrator has been to the source and seen it. It is likened unto the Wizard of Oz story. Behind the big scary mask is a little whimpering winy limp dick bitch. In fear of wet and smelly life. The mask is just a big mask. The lawyers and priests, like in the story a few hundred times told, are the perpetrators of the big illusion. The illusion that we are not the beasts. And that we prefer to live in real and virtual cages.

Before Jesus went away with Mary Magdalene and their kids, Jesus had one more visit with the disciples. And we must give John credit for writing a very nice ending to the story.

Remember if you are reading the original, that language and style were different back then. You need to cut the writers a little slack and feel your way through their minimalistic repetitive not saying much.

Peter went fishing.

“I’m going fishing.”

And the other disciples went with him in the little boat. And it came to pass that again, they were fishing on the wrong side of the boat. Until morning light. When Jesus stood at the shore. This is likely in reference to the sun but let’s skip that and just go with the story.

Vs. 5: Then he asked them, “Young men, haven’t you caught anything?”
“Not a thing,” they answered. EQ.

So Jesus told them to fish on the right side of the boat. And having said this they did and caught a net full of fish. While Jesus had a little swim. Naked.

Vs. 7: The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” EQ.

Now we must pay attention here now. One of the big secrets is here revealed. John mentioned the disciple Jesus loved was at the tomb. That was last chapter. And so we wonder. Why not name him.

Well in a few more verses the big secret is revealed. Hidden in plain sight.

Vs. 11: Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore full of big fish, a hundred and fifty-three in all. EQ.

Vs. 12: Jesus said to them, “Come and eat.” EQ.

This is the man that was recently on the cross. Swimming in the lake and making a fire for to have a fish breakfast with his friends.

He asked Peter three times if he loved him. Peter affirmed his answer three times in the positive.

Now here it is. From the original, so you know.

Vs. 20: Peter turned round and saw behind him that other disciple, whom Jesus loved. The one who had leaned close to Jesus at the meal and had asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?” 21: When Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
22. Jesus answered him, “If I want him to live until I come, what is that to you?” EQ.

Judas. The young brother of Jesus who Jesus loved and trusted with his life. Judas, the young man curse 2,000 years because believers refuse to read the bible they believe in.

It was a planned event.
