BARBARALBA BIBLE

THE NEW NEW TESTAMENT

THE ACTS of the Apostles

 

chapter 13

Now we have another Herod. Herod Antipas, ruler of Galilee. Which is a small town. And a few other names.

Vs. 3: They fasted and prayed, placed their hands on them, and sent them off. EQ.

To continue the building of Paulism. Devil worship.

Vs. 4: … Barnabas and Saul went to Seleucia and sailed from there to the island of Cyprus. EQ.

They crossed the island and visited Sergius Paulus. They tell us he was an intelligent man.

“They might be stretching the truth.”

“No. They are stretching the lie. As far as the thing will go.”

Now Sergius Paulus wanted to hear the word of God. Saul. Now known as Paul. And Elymas the magician tried to stop them. So Paul put a curse on him.

Vs. 10: “You son of the Devil! You are the enemy of everything that is good.” EQ.

“Was he a son of Paul.”

Vs. 11: … At once Elymas felt a dark mist cover his eyes, and he walked about trying to find someone to lead him by the hand. 12. When the governor saw what had happened, he believed; for he was greatly amazed at the teaching about the Lord. EQ.

“The Lord of Hell.”

“Oh, why do you say that.”

“Killing or torturing all who oppose his Paulism campaign. Propagating a new terror religion no better than the terror religion before it. Prolonging the torture of millions of minds, souls and bodies. Selling hatred toward women. Supporting dictatorship.”

Vs. 13: Paul and his companions sailed from Paphos and came to Perga, EQ.

John Mark went back to Jerusalem and the rest returned to Antioch on the Sabbath and sat in the synagogue. And they asked Lord Paul to speak.

“They likely asked him if he would kindly go fuck himself.”

“God made our ancestors great.”

“No, our ancestors were no more than mediocre.”

“Kill that man. They were slaves 400 year and 50 years later they finally had a really grand genocide party. Killing all the descendents of Canaan because he saw his dad naked.”

“Isn’t that a bit fucking retarded.”

“Kill that man. Then later the Israelites wanted a king so God gave them Saul, descendant of Benjamin.”

Vs. 22: After removing him, God made David their king. This is what God said about him: ‘I have found that David son of Jesse is the kind of man I like, a man who will do all I want him to do.’ EQ.

“All right. Stop right fucking there, Paul. Just one minute. Removing him translates to David had Saul murdered. And he murdered all his family. He stuck his grandsons on pig poles as an offering to the grain god. He murdered 10’s of thousands. He was an evil tyrant. And in this case God refers to the priests. He was raised from the time he was one by the priests. And his mother was raped by a Lord. The priests were the rulers of David. They are the slugs of hell.”

“May I go on.”

“Please do, Lord Slug.”

Vs. 23: It was Jesus, a descendant of David, whom God made the Saviour of the people of Israel, as he had promised. EQ.

“Mary the mother of Jesus was raped by a Lord. Jesus was a bastard child not the son of David. Joseph didn’t fuck Mary till after she had Jesus.”

“Ignore him. He is not a believer. One of those annoying scholars. John baptized people but it was Jesus, the one you condemned that brought salvation. Just like your scriptures said you would do.”

“Paul, shut the fuck up. We know the story already.”

vs. 41: “Look, you scoffers! Be astonished and die!
For what I am doing today
is something that you will not believe,
even when someone explains it to you!” EQ.

“That’s nice. Won’t you come back next week and mock us some more.”

vs. 43: ... many Gentiles who had been converted to Judaism. EQ.

A curious thing for a sperm religion. Converts.

vs. 46: ... But since you reject it and do not consider yourself worthy of eternal life, we will leave you and go to the Gentiles. EQ.

That translates to na na na na na.

vs. 48: When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and praised the Lord’s message; and those who had been chosen for eternal life became believers. EQ.

No one owns eternal life. No one can either give it or take it away. No club will get you into any heaven that you are not already in. It’s simply physics. We are in the universe, elements of the universe. And it is now. Always and forever.

Later Paul will admit that all come back to life.

In fact, he says many things that basically add up to saying nothing at all. That is the beauty of religion. It is just a passing fog.

The Jews told Paul to get the fuck out of their town and he did.


chapter 14

vs. 1: … Jews and Gentiles became believers. EQ.

This is not true. They were all believers. They just changed the what of the belief.

Vs. 2: But the Jews who would not believe stirred up the Gentiles and turned them against the believers. EQ.

The Jews that would not believe would be the priests. The holy Levites that Moses had declared rulers of the world.

“Well fuck Moses.”

Vs. 4: The people of the city were divided: some were for the Jews, others for the apostles. EQ.

None of them could read. None of them could think for themselves. All were basically apes desperate for a meaning to their life of service to the wealthy ruling class that held the believers in ignorance.

Then another typical healing performance.

Vs. 9: … Paul saw that he believed and could be healed, so he looked straight at him 10. and said in a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” The man jumped up and started walking around. EQ.

And because it was written, believers will believe it.

vs. 11: ... “The gods have become like men and have come down to be with us!” EQ.

Which just goes to demonstrate how naïve believers are. Desperate for any kind of fairy tale that will add a little adventure and hope to their dull lives.

As was a tradition with the Israelites, Paul and Barnabas tore their clothes. To demonstrate grief. Moses told his believers they were not to cut themselves in such rituals. It was a ritual usually used when someone died.

vs. 15: “Why are you doing this? We ourselves are only human beings like you!” EQ.

Paul explained that they were performing miracles to show the power of God. In the name of the Lord. God makes it rain at the right time. Gives you food.

But still the crowd wanted to offer sacrifice to them.

Vs. 19: Some Jews came from Antioch in Pisidia and from Iconium; they won the crowd over to their side, stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, thinking that he was dead. 20. But when the believers gathered round him, he got up and went back into the town. The next day he and Barnabas went to Derbe. EQ.

Now there may be people that miss this so let us explain what stoning is. Whenever a bunch of crazed lunatics get the chance, they pelt the living shit out of someone with stones. It is still a practiced ritual among some idiots. The idea is to allow the crowd to murder a friend or family member. It releases the pent up anger, the pressure applied from above, not from God, from the ruling tyrants. The sport reminds people to follow the rules and not create trouble. One thing is common in all stoning. Pebbles are not used. A stone is a hard heavy object often with sharp edges. The recipient of the stoning ends up with the flesh ripped of his or her body and his or her head busted opened.

It is not an event that one gets up from even if there are a few more breaths left when tossed out of the city for wild dogs and vultures.

Paul is being written as a super hero. The great sufferer for the Lord.

Vs. 22: … “We must pass through many troubles to enter the Kingdom of God,” they taught. EQ.

And this is not what Jesus Christ taught. He taught that heaven was at hand. Meaning that it was, it is, and will be. Here and now.

“So you saying Paul is a liar.”

“Paul is the frail looking superman. He is the icon of the scary Jew. The small grinning insignificant figure that wields a dark and evil power.”

“Like the owner of the Twin Towers that conned the world with blowing up his own buildings then collection billions from his cousin in the insurance scam. A justification for genocide. One of the biggest frauds of America. Not including the slaughtering of the millions of natives and robbing them of their land and the slave industry.”

“Ya, like that grinning slug from hell. No one would suspect he could be a bald face liar. Hell, that would be anti-Semitic to accuse someone known as a Jew to be a murdering thieving tyrant criminal prick.”

“The New Testament is anti-Semitic.”

“Yes and no.”

“Either it is or it isn’t.”

“It is both Jewish and anti-Semitic. One must remember that those above that law are not believers. Silversnake does not believe in a God. God is justification for the idiot masses. It means we are fucking crazy fucks, crazier than you fucks because our God is better at genocide than your God and your God sucks.”

“That is crazy.”

“Few have evolved beyond crazy. We are the great mad murdering apes. Itching to hate and murder. A paranoid creature like no other since millions of years.”

Jesus laughed.


chapter 15

vs. 1: Some men came from Judaea to Antioch and started teaching the believers, “You cannot be saved unless you are circumcised as the Law of Moses requires.” EQ.

This is still argued about. And when it comes down to it. It is crazy. It is mutilation of the body. Now there is no argument to justify the action in girls. There are cases where it is necessary for a man. Your narrator does not know what it is to have a foreskin so does not know what it means. It is true that it is easier to keep the penis clean without a foreskin and that a foreskin of a man must sometimes be removed for medical reasons. It is, however, a religious ritual that likely will not be practiced by thinking creatures in the future. Aside for medial reasons.

Anyhow. They got in a big fight our foreskins.

vs. 5: ... “The Gentiles must be circumcised and told to obey the Laws of Moses.” EQ.

Which is to say, let us ignore what Jesus had to say and make Christians follow the laws of the Israelite sperm worship family.

Less we forget, the Laws of Moses were rejected by John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. For, they are a lot of gibberish from a mad inbred bastard dictator tyrannical prick. If you find this over stated, read the Torah. Otherwise known as the books of Moses.

The mind is a far too beautiful a thing to waste on belief. Free your mind and the body will follow.

There are no Jews. Four billion years of life before the Moses Laws. There is not one human on this planet that is not closely related to all the other humans on this planet.

This is a biological fact.

Jews wanted to hold onto their sperm religion. Even if they don’t understand that it is a sperm religion. Women hatred. Life usurpation.

The only reason anyone believes any of the shit is because they have not sat down and read it.

And just a thought. Judaism and Christianity are like Coke and Pepsi. They are basically non-products with much marketing. They appear to be in competition with one another. And they are. But they also create the illusion that it is either or. Either you are a Jew or you are a Christian. Whatever you decide, you are a believer in God. In a sugar and caffeine drink that is virtually a big waste of time and certainly a big waste of resources. And most importantly. A grand illusion.

“I’m sick and tired of your ism schism game. Die and go to heaven in Jesus name.” Bob Marley.

Vs. 16: ‘After this I will return, says the Lord,
And restore the kingdom of David.
I will rebuild its ruins and make it strong again.
17: And so all the rest of mankind will come to me,
all the Gentiles whom I have called to be my own.
18. So says the Lord, who made this known long ago.’ EQ.

Reincarnated tyrannical dictators. Gods save us.

Vs. 19: “It is my opinion,” James went on, “that we should not trouble the Gentiles who are turning to God. EQ.

So they, the Jewish elders and the apostles, wrote a letter to the believers.

Don’t cut off your foreskin if you chose to keep it. But don’t eat food offered to idols. No strangled animals. And no weird sex. The immoral stuff.

Vs. 37. Barnabas wanted to take John Mark with them, 38. but Paul did not think it was right to take him because he had not stayed with them to the end of their mission, but had turned back and left them in Pamphylia. EQ.

Paul is a self-serving asshole.

He took Silas and parted from Barnabas and John Mark.
