Introduction
According to those taught by The Church, “Jesus died for your sins.” And yet, according to the same people, you should be dreadfully concerned about your sins. Either Jesus must have done a terrible job of dying for our sins or something must have got lost in the translation. I have Good News for both “believers” and nonbelievers: Something got lost in the translation. Jesus did a wonderful job of dying for our sins. What’s-Been-Done-For-Us-On-the-Cross has been left on the table for you, for me… for all of us. There is only one silly, stupid thing that stands in the way of us truly taking it. Our “Faith.” Silly, stubborn, stupid “belief” in spite of actuality. Actually, “belief” is the opposite of actuality. In fact, “belief” does not even qualify as “belief” unless some measure of doubt is involved. This book endorses absolutes. Not “beliefs.” As Jesus proves time and time again, knowing beats “believing” hands down.
You already know the most basic Truth. God teaches you. Some of us call this Truth “intuition.” Some of us call it “knowing without knowing.” Instinctively, we all know the God’s-Honest Truth when we hear it. Not to imply that we want to hear it. Especially if it contradicts our “belief-system.” And, oh yeah, every single one of us (from Atheist to Pope) has a “belief-system.”
Ever it comes down to our “belief-system” versus the God’s-Honest Truth, the God’s-Honest Truth is a fifteen-to-one underdog. This book is a one-two combination-punch inspired to punch through those terrible odds. One: By weeding out the Tares (Weeds sown among the Wheat). Jesus warned that many of his Words would be hijacked and replaced. Perfect predicting. The infestation has happened and is still happening exactly as Jesus predicted. By plan or by folly, the Tares (picked and processed) became the foundation of our Christian “belief-system.” We were taught. We “believed.” We had no idea these were Tares being passed down to us as Wheat. One would have to be a Greek scholar to know that “Faith,” “Belief,” “Repent,” “Forgiveness”[/font-three] and “Church” (just to name a few) are all false translations. None of these words ever came out the mouth of Jesus in any language (Greek, Aramaic, whatever). Two: By resurrecting the Wheat. What Jesus foresaw as “the harvest.” Specifically, the harvesting of five wonderfully simple Words — key Words that actually did proceed from the mouth of Jesus: RANSOM, AWAY, PERFECT, FREEDOM and ALL (written in big caps from here on out).
For the salvation of our “Faith” these five wonderfully simple Words of Jesus have been wrapped up and interred. Yes, buried, like in a cemetery. They have been sunk deep into the ground. They have been laid to rest. What we have reaped from this sowing is the inability to take PERFECT-Grace upon ourselves. We can “find Jesus,” yet still fail to KNOW him; for, we know not PERFECT-Grace. And, True as God made whales and sunshine, the only grace worth knowing and having is PERFECT-Grace.
We have done worse than compromise the reality of PERFECT-Grace. As Church-Taught ambassadors of our “belief-system,” we have destroyed it. The evidence to support this fact is undeniable. In an exhaustive ten-year search throughout brick & mortar churches and online congregations, I have talked to tens of thousands of Christians — solid “believers,” representing every Christian doctrine imaginable. Not one “believer” could honestly testify to me that he or she had Truly-Accepted, 100%, with no ifs, ands or buts, that ALL of his or her sins had been taken AWAY by What’s-Been-Done-For-Us-On-the- Cross. ALL of these churchgoers were able to speak FREELY. Many of them with anonymous handles to protect their identities. And, yet, not one self-proclaimed Christian was able to honestly affirm this, the most important of ALL testimonies: “I have truly accepted, 100%, with no ifs, ands or buts, that ALL of my sins have been taken AWAY by what’s been done for me on the cross.”
The “ifs, ands and buts” make True-Acceptance nearly impossible for the Church-Taught Christian to affirm. Even if these hurtles could somehow be cleared, the Mature-Christian would still find himself attached to the heaviest ball and chain — The Church’s disapproving view of the “ALL of my sins have been taken AWAY” part of the testimony. Church-Dogma insists, our sins are still very much here. If we fail to see them, our sins will be pointed out to us; so we can “confess” and “repent” of them; so that our sins may be “forgiven.” A religious assembly line built for the processing of our sin — built in the absence of what’s missing. Frankly, built in the absence of what’s been killed, wrappedup and buried. “Missing” is the congenial way to put it. Pray tell, what could possibly be missing? What’s missing are those five wonderfully simple Words of Jesus.
ALL and AWAY are simply gone. Fallen by the wayside. Lost to us early on in the later part of the first century. Without them, we are deaf, blind and ignorant to What’s-Been-Done-For-Us-On-the-Cross. Simple enough to know what “ALL” and “AWAY” mean when read in any other context; however, should these Words ever be applied to our sin; as in, “ALL of your sin has been taken AWAY,” instantly, “ALL” and “AWAY” become incomprehensible gibberish to Church-Trained Bible readers from teacher to student.
This training (known as Christianity) is no fault of Jesus. Our Religion is due to pilot error. The name of the pilot is Paul of Tarsus. His rank? Doctor of Divinity. His announcement over the cabin speakers? “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your hijacker speaking: I have taken over the airplane — actually, I have taken over the airline. Now, if you will look out your port and starboard windows, you can plainly see the sin of the world.” Captain John the Baptist is the pilot Paul subdued. Thus, replacing what the Captain told us over the intercom: “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes AWAY the sin of the world.”
We have had two millennium of human progress with the Jesus-Cure (a totally FREE gift) proudly sitting on the table. And, guess what? ALL the sin of the world is still here — plainly seen from both sides of the airplane. With our flight crew duly dulled on autopilot, we have been listening to a Medieval Church feeding us the Precepts of Paul instead of the Prescription of Jesus. Einstein-Insanity. Two- thousand years of religiously doing the same thing, over and over and over and over and getting the same results while the cure sits on the table… untouched.
Dr. Jesus ingeniously called the cure, “The Bread of Life.” Bread, being so common back in the day and so easy to swallow. Yet, no one understood. So… no one TRULY TOOK the ALL-powerful psychological medicine (aka: Truly-Accepting-What’s-Been-Done-For-Us-On-the-Cross). So simple. ALL one has to do is Truly-Take it. Swallow it down. Today, Jesus would call it “The Little Blue Pill.” PERFECT terminology for our generation (Boomers thru Gen-Z). The tricky part still applies: We TRULY have to TAKE the pill. Our knowledge of medicine has advanced enough for us to finally grasp What’s-Been- Done-For-Us-On-the-Cross. So easy to take a pill. One time. One for you. One for me. Same pill for one and ALL. (Boy, our World Health Organization would sure be on board for that part of the deal.) Simply swallow down the little blue pill that takes AWAY the sin of the world. “Can it really be that…” Simple? Yes it can. Yes it is. Not by “believing.” Heaven forbid. By ABSOLUTELY KNOWING the God’s Honest Truth.
Dr. Paul says, “The wages of sin is death.” With the cure still sitting on the table untouched, our lethal problem is not our sin. Our lethal problem is that we have been trained NOT to TAKE the cure. The entire world has been trained… NOT… to TAKE… the little blue pill. Stuck in a holding pattern, we are “waiting 6 for Jesus to come back.” Jesus is waiting for us to come back. His Words are said and his deal is done. Yet, we remain unfit for his “Second Coming.” Why? Because our Religion has so completely demolished his first coming. “Verily, verily,” it would be far better had every Christian concept be erased from our minds, we had never heard the first word about “Christ” and start from scratch. ALL and AWAY would be a terrific place to start; yet, from the grave, we must first dig up our RANSOM; yet, still, there is a thick field of Tares standing in our way. Seems difficult to know where to start. Yet, it’s high time we start. What we have lost is far greater than what The Church can ever teach us.
FREEDOM is another Jesus-Word our Church-Taught teachers have flat out terminated. I’ve never heard this Word killed more PERFECTLY than by an affable evangelical deacon who recently explained it to me like this: “Paul wants us to be FREE, but not too FREE.” That’s Religion telling us what “FREE” means. FREE-enough to properly work the Plantation. Ample mobility. So we can really put our backs into it. The God’s-Honest Truth? Paul IS Religion (astronomically more than Fauci is Science). Paul is chained to the idea of Good & Evil; thus, he is a slave to Religion, Sin and the Law. Paired to the dog whistle, our Christian ears are psychologically tuned-in to the same Masters. The Knowledge of Good & Evil. Religion. Sin. The Law. Jesus came to help us send these overseers back to Never-Never Land, returning us to our God-Made natural standing: “Very Good.” Yet, the last thing our Masters want is for Jesus to FREE us from them. Good & Evil, Religion, Sin and the Law. They watchover and govern our every action. You’re stretched too thin as it is! Put AWAY them confounded Wonderfully Simple Words and get back to workin’ them fields!
As for the Word, PERFECT, consider a simple question. If ALL (past, present and future) of what anyone says is “your sin” is taken AWAY, you are entirely sinless and stand before God in PERFECT righteousness, correct? Nope. Not according to our “belief-system.” Not one Christian priest, pastor nor organized person of any spiritual influence seems to understand the full and PERFECT power of What’s-Been-Done-For-Us-On-the-Cross. Accordingly, we are editing the Word “PERFECT” out of Scripture. Censored. Going bye-bye as we speak. Our “Faith” declares that no man can ever be sinless (PERFECT) in this world; contrary to Jesus’ explicit blessing: “Be PERFECT, even as your Father in Heaven is PERFECT.” Our religious leaders are taught to see this as a command. Such teaching is incorrect. This is our blessing — a PERFECTLY restored in-look. Allowing us to see our core self exactly as God made it: PERFECT… (and having the PERFECT in-look does wonders for our outlook).
RANSOM is the trickiest of the five Words; yet, equally simple, having only one meaning. Sadly, we have killed our RANSOM in favor of old-timey religious voodoo: “Blood-sacrifice.” The crucifixion of Jesus is not about “blood.” Nor is it about “sacrifice.” Nor is it “a substitution.” Not even is it “payment for our debt of sin.” Jesus told us exactly what it is. It is a RANSOM. Consequentially, we are not debtors. We are kidnap victims. That’s right. And, no kidnapper is paid-off in so many pints of blood. Not unless the kidnapper happens to be a vampire. Let’s get real. Vampire folklore is utter fiction. So is, “We’re warshed clean in da blood” — perhaps the goofiest blabber anyone could ever use to seriously explain to the world What’s-Been-Done-For-Us-On-the-Cross.
Simply put? These wonderfully simple Words (RANSOM, AWAY, PERFECT, FREEDOM and ALL) and their wonderfully simple meanings simply do not fly in Christian circles. Specifically, the pilots do not allow them passage on board FCA (Fundamental Christian Airlines). Strictly refused as dangerous baggage. And, so, I plead to any and ALL of our dear Christian brother and sister passengers reading along, be warned. It is quite possible for those of us who have been Church-Taught to feel apprehension, 7 confusion, fear, defensive fury, even anger and hatred as we exhume the bodies: RANSOM, AWAY, PERFECT, FREEDOM and ALL. Our level of defensive fury, anger and hatred comes to us in direct proportion to how after-the-fact complicit we are in killing and burying these wonderfully simple Words. Our mental state. Our participation and/or our assistance. To put it bluntly, our conspiratorial liability.
What? Mature Christians? Complicit to murdering the God’s-Honest Truth? Furious, angry and hateful about being shown the God’s-Honest Truth? Seriously?
Seriously. As were the Pharisees of 26 AD. We will soon have over two-thousand years of the Christian “belief-system” behind us. To a person, the pilots flying FCA are indelibly convinced: We already HAVE a solid handle on the truth! Such thinking builds fixed fortifications against the invasion of Truth. A fool’s castle made up of orange squares. Hard heads encased in blocks of cheese.
Worse, yet typical to Religion, there is danger in parting the cheese, opening the eyes and unblocking the ears. For, the cheese itself has become “the life,” the “Biblical-World-View” and the equilibrium. It can be horrifyingly frustrating to the point of madness for a “thoroughly-equipped believer” to learn that the Truth, the whole Truth and not any other thing but the God’s-Honest Truth lay outside of what he has been taught to “believe.” Especially frustrating when there is no defendable way for him to argue against the Truth. After ALL, it IS the God’s-Honest Truth. It can be lethal. Yes, even to good, godly Christians. It can make a good, godly Christian want to kill somebody. It made the good, godly Pharisees of 26 AD want to kill somebody… (the somebody who was telling them the Truth).
Jesus looked forward to this day and predicted, “The Truth will set you FREE.” Hold fast to his sunny forecast as an encouragement to keep reading. Perhaps even for you to go off by yourself and find a quiet place to keep reading.[/size]
Why? Why would you want to do that? Well… you might just be interested to know that Jesus’ definition of FREE is “FREE-Indeed.” Not “FREE, but not too FREE.”
We are about to bump hard against a cart-full of carefully placed apples. If you can will-up or pray-up enough strength to continue reading, do yourself a big favor. Let the onset of fear and anger go. Pray for the God’s-Honest Truth above ALL things. Especially above “Faith.”
Knowing and accepting the Truth is infinitely more important than “believing.”
RANSOM, AWAY, PERFECT, FREEDOM and ALL. These Words are pillars of Truth, with which we can no longer argue nor ignore. “Believer,” if you are determined to “believe” something, “believe” this. Continue onward and these five wonderfully simple Words of Jesus will mean something to you. Either a comeuppance. Cheese melted. Indoctrinated fear and faithful-faithlessness parted. Houses turned over. Corpses exhumed. You and your priest or senior pastor led AWAY in handcuffs, or…
These wonderfully simple Words of Jesus will be your cherished gifts forever. Belated (or early) Christmas presents for you and your priest or senior pastor to lovingly unwrap.
