On a another occasion, Jesus was upon a mountain to preach to a multitude of thousands of people. People from all Judea Jerusalem the coastal region of came to hear him. When from the bottom of the mountain he could hear the Pharisees from Jesus and their followers interrupting. Ridiculing his teachings in an attempt to disrupt the gathering. Jesus stopped preaching and immediately briskly walked to the bottom where the Pharisees. Jesus stood on a stretch of level ground. However first attended he crowds ill and diseased curing them. to be healed of their diseases; even those who were tormented by unclean spirits were cured. Everyone in the crowd sought to touch him because power came forth from him healed them all. Jesus called his disciples together with the Pharisees. He instructed ordered the crowd to ascend he top of the mountain. For the area was like a n area cove. Natural theater Then he instructed his apostles to congregate between the crowd and the group of Pharisees He ordered the Pharisees to stand or sit in front of all and he addressed the entire rearranged congregation from the bottom to the top of the mountain. The entire crowd was silent because no one had ever spoken the Pharisees this way. When all was calm, Jesus turned to the Pharisees before him and said state your case against me and my teachings I have been hearing you have serious disagreement with my teachings and me. Lets get to the point of what you accusations are. The Pharisees Sadducees began with hostility to interrogate him about many things, plotting to catch him at something he might say. Started making their accusation against him. Your disciples break the tradition of Moses and our ancestors The disciples of John fasted. Why do not your the disciples of John the disciples of the Pharisees fast? Also They do not wash (their) hands when they eat a meal.. Why do you eat with tax collectors sinners? Jesus replied, Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. I have not come to call the righteous (as you consider yourselves) to repentance but sinners. Therefore, I would advise you physicians to heal yourselves. Peter asked Master please Explain (this) parable to us. Jesus said understand! It is not what enters one’s mouth defiles person; but what comes out of the mouth is what defiles one. are not we to follow the law of Moses and kosher re food and eating Are even you still without understanding? Food and eating are of the material world not the spiritual world of God’s law. Follower Moses kosher if you want but is not the law of the Father but M had to create it because the Jews of his time had much disease in their food and disgusting beast like eating manners Do you not realize everything enters the mouth passes into the stomach is expelled into the latrine? But the thing come out of the mouth come from the heart, they defile. From the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, unchastely, theft, false witness, and blasphemy. These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile. It is the filthy things of the mind and heart, which defile the spirit making further impurity ot the food you eat. Then he said, The Sabbath was made for man, not man the Sabbath. It is a celebration not burden. THE PHARISEES AND PRIESTS:
THE ADULTERY To test him, they could have some charge to bring against him. As a test, Then the scribes the Pharisees had strong guards brought a woman who had been caught in adultery be brought before Jesus. They said this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say? Jesus bent down began to write on the ground with his finger. But when, he straightened up said to them, let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her. Again, he bent down wrote on the ground. in response, they went away one by one, beginning with the elders. Therefore, he was left alone with the woman before him. Then Jesus said to her, Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you? She replied, No one, sir. Then Jesus said, neither do I condemn you. Go, (and) from now on do not sin any more. VERIFY--- PROVE YOU ARE A HOLY MAN SENT BY GOD Then the Pharisees returned more hostile. A Pharisees said Who are you? Authenticate yourself in the sight of God. Prove and confirm you come from God. Jesus replied you know very well who I am. However, you are thinking not as God does, but as foolish human beings do. Nevertheless, the Pharisees persisted, Who are you? Jesus said to them, what I told you from the beginning. You testify on your own behalf, so your testimony cannot be verified. Jesus answered said to them, Even if I do testify on my own behalf, my testimony can be verified, because I know where I came from where I am going. However, you do not know where I come from or where I am going. I testify on my behalf so does the Father who sent me. I tell you what I have seen in the Father s presence; then do what you have heard from the Father So they said to him, Where is your father? Jesus answered, You know neither me nor my Father f you knew me, you would know my Father also. Nevertheless, the one who sent me is true, what I heard from him I tell the world. I AM, I do nothing on my own, but I say only what the Father taught me. The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him. Why do you not understand what I am saying? Because you cannot bear to hear my word. Show us a sign from Heavens owe can believe you are from God. Because you demand proof and miracles. Jesus said Oh so now you demand proof of the existence of God and of my mission. You would test the Lord your God. You should be called upon to prove your spiritual abilities and Godliness. Besides, you fools like the evil one demands tests from the Father. When the signs and miracles are all around you but you see them not for you are blind have no spiritual vision. I tell you the Kingdom of God is spread thought out the Earth but you foolish men see it not. In the Spring of life are you not born? In Summer do you not grow to maturity? In the Autumn, you you, as many of you presently are, prepare for death. And, in the Winter, do you not not dies to this universe only to be reborn in the Spring. And, you foolishly demand miracles. The miracle is inside you but you murder the inner spirit which speaks to you . An evil unfaithful generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah. The Pharisees said to, you testify on your own behalf, so your testimony cannot be verified. He said to them, You belong to what is below, FROM hell and the seed of the evil one I belong to what is above. You belong to this world, but I do not belong to this world You belong to your father the devil you willingly carry out your father s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning does not speak in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar the father of lies. However, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me. If I am telling the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God; this reason you do not listen, because you do not belong to God. If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, you will know the truth, the truth will set you free. Abraham has never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, You will become free ? You are slaves to yourself and yours in and the evil one and you do not even know it. Everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. is why I told you you will die in your sins. If you do not believe I AM, you will die in your sins. ABRAHAM The Jesus said, them I demand you to verify yourselves that you are of God. They answered him, we are descendants of Abraham. Our father is Abraham. Jesus said, If you were Abraham s children, you would be doing the works of Abraham.. Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day; he saw it was glad. ; Abraham did not do this. You are doing the works of your father! (So) they said to him, we are not illegitimate. We have one Father, God. Jesus said, If God were your Father, you would love me, I came from God am here; I did not come on my own, but he sent me. Jesus said to them, But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth I heard from God If God were your Father, you would love me, I came from God am here; I did not come on my own, but he sent me. Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? Or the prophets, who died? Who do you make yourself out to be? Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is worth nothing; but it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, He is our God. You do not know him, but I know him. if I should say I do not know him, I would be like you a liar. However, I do know him I keep his word. Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, whoever keeps my word will never taste death. Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? Or the prophets, who died? Who do you make yourself out to be? Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is worth nothing; but it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, He is our God. You do not know him, but I know him. If I should say I do not know him, I would be like you a liar. But I do know him I keep his word. Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day; he saw it was glad. So, the Priests of the Jews said to him, You are not yet fifty years old you have seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM.
JESUS TELLS CROWD FOLLOW THE PHARISEES Then Jesus turned and loudly spoke to the crowds saying, The scribes the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses. Therefore, do observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. they preach but they do not practice. In other words do what they tell your to do, But I warn you do not do as they do for they speak of good but they do nothing. They tell you to plaint but they do not and they wither and bear no fruit. JESUS TEACHES THE PHARISEES---
WHO LAUGH AND RIDICULE HIM Now hear this you Pharisees! For you know of my sermon on the mountain and its teachings. Yet, every spiritual lesson has at least two sides. Here is the dark negative side. I tell you it to warn you not to frighten you. That is, to warn you how serious what I teach is. Now I will repeat my sermon, from a negative viewpoint, so it is clear to all who hear.. So., in the gospel message there is no confusion!!! No Excuses!!! Raising his eyes toward his disciples he said: Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude insult you, denounce for my gospel teachings and my name as evil I have preached cursed are the Rich who did not care love for those in need. You who are rich, for you have received your consolation. You will, like the rich fool, receive no reward in heaven. The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all these things sneered at him. They love themselves and their power not God. Woe to you who laugh now, for In the next life. You will grieve weep. Woe and cursed are you when all speak well of you, For the world loves you but God hates the ways of the world. For they are their ways of the evil one, and men who follows him. For if the world honors and praises you, you are in trouble. You have somehow have sold out God’s interest. For money, worship of men. For the wisdom of the world is foolishness to The Father. You think it is better to take than to give! No cursed are you for you have no generosity! No. You will no Give to everyone who asks of you, From the one who takes what is yours, you will demand it back, probably with interest. No, you will not freely give away your excess to the needy. If you give, you will always expect the money returned or something else. Instead, you say: brother you scratch My back and I will scratch yours. This is what the pagans call Quid Pro Quo. It is business the using another for a profit ---it is not love not spiritual. If you lend money to those, from whom you expect repayment, what credit (is) to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, get back the same amount. Give your excess away freely expecting no return you shall increase 100 fold. However, you who are the cursed just cannot believe is true preferring the worlds ways. You always want you god money back. You Pharisees will not follow My gospel livin it. No, you will not bless those who curse you, nor pray for those who mistreat you. Nor will you to the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well. No you will not only slap him back you will beat him to a pulp. , If a person takes your expensive cloak, you will withhold even your tunic. Then you shall get your revenge. You will cease him, regain your property, and have him thrown in prison. Feeling all the while, you are justified in so doing. Because you possess neither forgiveness nor mercy, rather hatred in your heart. Which is proven by your negative actions opinions intentions. I warn you Pharisees you had better: Do to others, as you would have them do to you. No but you are cursed will do evil unto others before they might do evil unto you. You are the schemers who like serpents who hide in the grass and without warning strikes preemptively, to possibly prevent another from getting revenge on you. For if, you love those who love you, what credit is to you? Even sinners love those who love them. No, you will seek out only those who agree do as you do. You shall be exactly; like only doing for those who have done for you no more. You will be greedy refuse to love. Your will love no one except money power popularity honor. Yes even the evil one love his six children their offspring what kind of love is. He worships his seed not the seed which came from The Father. Therefore, you will be cursed. Because you not forgive forget love your neighbor. Although you might pretend you do, you can get revenge later. I said on top of the mountain. , Love your enemies Do good to them, lend expecting nothing back; then your reward will be great. You will be children of the Most High, for He Himself is kind to the ungrateful the wicked. However, there are those present who think me naïve, a fool or even insane. You prefer your own opinion. You love your ways of hatred harboring animosity and waiting to get your revenge, not justice, on your enemies. For your heart is filled with lust for hatred, violence, victory over the defeated. Nor will you show any mercy, as your Father is merciful. For such people who follow only religions way mans way are just like their ancestors treated the false prophets as if they spoke the truth because the false prophet speaks what man want to heart dhow to get money power a be honored by religion, how to become one of the establishment at the expense of your fellow man. However, you wont listen But to you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. Instead, they use phony prayers and bestial sacrifices and worship ceremonies .And don’t do the will God as commanded. You foolish Pharisees disregard God s commandment but cling to human tradition. Your man made laws are more important than God s law. Do not you see you have set aside the commandment of God in order to uphold your religious tradition! You nullify the word of God in favor of your mosaic man-made law --- and do not live the law of God. The tradition of man is foolish to God. Why do you break the commandment of God the sake of your man-made human religion tradition? You love religion man made, but hate God and His laws. God said, Honor your father your mother. Whoever curses father or mother shall die. However, you have abandoned the law of God replacing it with own human laws and traditions. Say, Whoever says to father or mother, any support you might have had from me is dedicated to God, need not honor his father. You have nullified the word of God inserted your false fallacious judgment for His the sake of your tradition. JESUS CONFRONTS
AND
CURSES THE PHARISEES Woe and curses are to you, scribes Pharisees, you hypocrites. You serpents, you brood of vipers. You joined against God’s prophets. How can you flee from the judgment of Gehenna. I have much to say about you in condemnation. Worse yet the hypocrites,! You are superficial; honoring only the material outside but not the spiritual. Blind Pharisee, cursed are you . All their works are performed to be seen they get all dressed up then They widen their phylacteries with to much leather enough to hang themselves. Lengthen their tassels. Arrogant one hypocrites. you think you are special somehow chosen above all others. You think prideful you are special. When even pagans and sinners are special to the Father. You think you are better than the people. However, who told you that. Where is that written. Yes you look great on the outside, by your dress and religious acting, but inside your hearts are filled with hatred, filth, no forgiveness and with self-importance. You have massive egos vanity and self worship. Pretend to represent God himself on Earth. But you represent only yourselves and your class. You have vanity equal to self worship. You love the seat of honor in synagogue. Be greeted in marketplaces. to greetings in marketplaces, the salutation Rabbi. I command d you this call no man Father. Call no one on earth your father;’ Master’; nor teacher nor doctor you have but one Father in heaven. Do not be called Rabbi No priest or religious leader or aristocrat is your father you are not children you must become spiritual adult because you are each individually responsible for you own salvation no priest can help you on the Judgment Day. Because you do not cleanse first the inside of the cup. Your spiritual attitude. Even so, on the outside you appear righteous and the cup seems clean to others, but inside you are filled with hypocrisy evildoing. Although you cleanse the outside of the cup the dish, inside you are filled with plunder evil. Inside they are full of plunder self-indulgence. You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? You are like whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men’s bones every kind of filth. You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk. Woe and curses are to you, scholars of the law! . Then one of the scholars of the law said, Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us. I intend to insult you to awaken you spiritually. You hypocrites pretend your are good. If people only knew the evil you have done they would stone you, not follow you. Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the housetops. Lawyers you are you scholars of the law. You have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves did not enter. You stopped those trying to enter. You lawyers locked the kingdom of heaven. And do not allow the people to come freely to the father. To the contrary, blocking them with your manmade religion. You do not enter yourselves, nor do you allow entrance to those trying to enter. You will not enter, because you prevented others and mislead them Woe and curses are to you Pharisees! All talk no action you hypocrites! You tie up heavy burdens (hard to carry) lay them on people’s shoulders, but will not lift a finger to help. What they cannot afford. You making more suffering in their lives. You pay tithes of mint of rue of every garden herb, Blind guides, who strain out the gnat, but swallow a giant camel! You follow all the minutia detail of religious laws; but forget about the Law of God --- mercy, love and fidelity. No, you pay no attention to love God. You have neglected the weightier things of the law. These you should have done, without neglecting the others the. Woe and curses to you,. Yet. You build the memorials of the prophets whom your ancestors killed. Consequently, you bare witness give consent to the deeds of your ancestors, they killed The Prophets. Moreover, you do the building. You are like the pagans who are brick and mortar religious types. You like to build monuments to yourselves and your honor yourselves before men Using God s name . You build the tombs of the prophets adorn the memorials of the righteous,. You say If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have joined them in shedding the prophets’ blood. But if that were true then you are trying to kill me, because my word has no room among you. Furthermore, you deceive yourselves. Because the prophets would have told you are wrong, as I am now. However, you are too proud and filled with self-worship. You would not accept the Prophet as you will not accept Me because you have no humility. Besides, you would fear the prophet as threat to your control of the masses and money etc. You would have done worse slaughter than you ancestors. Therefore, your generation is charged with the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world! Thus, you bear witness against yourselves! You you are the children of those who murdered the prophets! Amen, I say to you, all these things will bring condemnation on your generation. Yes each generation live on for death is just death of the material body. But it is not death of the invisible intangible spirit, which make you who you are, the intellect free will and all your life chooses. You are children of Gehenna. Every plant my Father has not planted will be uprooted. No you are like are the old wine skins no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, both the wine the skins are ruined. Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins No one sews a piece of unshrinking cloth on an old cloak. If he does, its fullness pulls away, the new from the old, the tear gets worse. However, I warn you, you must repent and change your way of thinking and living. Otherwise, you are condemned. The Pharisees began yelling and screaming at Jesus and tearing their garments. They rushed away in furious anger and hostility toward Him. Jesus laughed saying For this I was born! NON-BLESSED PHARISEE EVILDOERS
THE UNFORGIVABLE SIN AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT Can any of you charge Me with sin? If I am telling the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. You do not listen, because you do not belong to God
