Waging Spiritual Warfare


Hillary Clinton and Berock Obama are in an epic struggle for the Presidency of the United States. As you know astrological indicators strongly augur for something "untward" to happen to Obama to derail his campaign and that event will come soon, perhaps any day now. As such one would do anything to prevent this. As things stand now Obama and John Mc Cain are dead even in the polling numbers for November and Obama continues to be dangerously weak with certain voter constituencies necessary to win in November. Karl Rove himself has stated that experiance is the key to qualification for President. In my last posting I even "made a deal with the Devil" alias God to insure Obama continues as candidate. But there are certain things nobody can do. It's absurd, for instance to hear me defend Christianity, which I now despize. On the last posting I even defended that Pastor who said Adolph Hitler was acting in God's will, which is sick. There are certain types of evil there is just no place for no matter what Jesus of KFI implies. Now they have things on the internet saying Obama is a member of the Church of Oprah. I didn't even know Oprah Winfrey had organized her own church- - and that both she and he are part of some vast Occultic conspiricy. This is in addition to charges of Obama being an Moslem There is that Luigi Cascioli promo that states that Christianity is basically organized Hate. Obama it has become clearly apparent, will have to fight a lot of sheer organized hate and prejudice between now and November. The fact that Berock is a derivation of Baruch, which means "Blessed" apparently doesn't carry much weight with the Jewish community. If I were Berock, I'd do everything I could to assure the Jewish community that I had their best interests at heart, since they are such an essential voting block, especially among democrats.

But I'd like to take a look now at just how "Historic" Christianity is. On the subject a lot of us are from Missouri. You're really going to have to "Show me" and a lot of others if you're going to get us to give up our Faith. For me there are a lot of personal indicators that Christianity has been bad for my emotional well being. Ironically, I'm one of those people who if you were to do a psychological profile- - I'd qualify as a good candidate for religion. I'm always looking for "hidden forces" and because of the way my brain is wired I'm good at picking out patterns in everything. Two of the most damnable people (if I may be so bold) as far as I'm concerned are KFI's Jesus Christ personage, and the Rev. Bill Halliday, whom I once described as a "finely honed instrument of Satan". He reminds me of that black blog in that StarTrek episode entitled "Skin of Evil" that tortures its victums. I wouldn't be so down on Christianity wern't they such obvious blatent liars. For instance I have been told since day one that "Whatever God does in your life he's making you a better person and preparing you for the Kingdom". What a comedown then to hear people like Jesus Christ say that people who disbelieve in God are "damaged goods" and have obviously had some "issue" in their lives that unballanced them mentally. Neither Bill Halliday or Jesus Christ of KFI seem to regard prayer very highly, and usually if a Christian wants to "pray with you" at all it's to cut off dialog and go into a running monolog of all of your many faults and shortcomings. These are some personal considerations.

Aside from all this there is the macro picture of whether the Jesus Christ of history even existed at all. For instance two early references point to a "Crestus" in one case and "Christus" in another. In both cases and particularly the first "Crestus" is spoken of as still alive and his followers were driven out of Rome in AD 50 by Claudius. I'm a little suspicious that refers to Jesus as "Christ" by a pagen as though that were his name and not his title. I'm also suspicious of people who refer to him as "The Nazarine" when Nazareth did not even exist yet in the first century as a city on a Roman map. But even though there is no clear extra Biblical evidence of Jesus, if you crank up the magnification high enough you're bound to come up with something- even if it turns out to be static. There are a couple of cases "the cat dragged in" that I would like to discuss now. The first is the saga of a magition and sorceror in Galilee as follows:

In Sanhedrin 43a, the execution of a certain Yeshu for sorcery, and enticing others to apostasy, is mentioned. Because of his connections with the government a town crier was sent to call for witnesses in his favour for forty days before his execution. No one came forth and in the end he was stoned and hanged on the Eve of Passover. Sanhedrin 43a also mentions that a certain Yeshu (possibly intended to be the one it mentions earlier) had gathered five disciples Matai, Nekai, Netzer, Buni, and Todah who were executed. In the Florence manuscript of the Talmud (1177 CE) an addition is made to Sanhedrin 43a saying that Yeshu was hanged on the eve of the Sabbath. This is not found in the other manuscripts and is generally considered too late to have authority. - - - - - OK what we have here is the case of a man who exorcised demons and probably healed people. What I have wondered if whether more than one "Jesus" faximile was combined to form a Whole presented in the Gospels. In the earliest manuscripts about Jesus he seems subdivided into "Jesus the healer" and "Jesus the teacher". Oddly Jesus didn't seem to be doing any healing his great week in Jerusalem, when one would have expected his healing activity to rise to a peak. What's odd about this passage is that in a Papel Bull issued around 1530 it was ordered that all references to this Yeshua be excised from the Talmud. The only place where it remained is in the Babylonian Talmud. In the courts this is what they would call "guilty knowledge" as to why the Pope acted, and in trials would help in conviction.

There is another individual who is of interest, particularly to me, who claims that Jesus actually came FROM Egypt and went back TO Egypt- as follows:

At this time there came out of Egypt to Jerusalem a man who said he was a prophet, and advised the multitude of the common people to go along with him to the mountain called the Mount of Olives, which lay a distance of five furlongs from the city. He said that he would show them that at his command the walls of Jerusalem would fall down, through which he promised that he would procure them an entrance into the city. Now when Felix was informed of this he ordered his soldiers to take up their weapons, and with a great number of horsemen and footmen from Jerusalem he attacked the Egyptian and the people that were with him. He slew four hundred of them and took two hundred alive. But the Egyptian himself escaped from the fight and did not appear any more. And again the robbers stirred up the people to make war with the Romans. - - - - - OK here we see some fermiliar traits we find in the Gospels. In the Gospel of John it says "And now up and let us go forward" right after the "last supper". Then there is a Cohort of Romans and there is an armed struggle with Jesus's desciples. You will note that it says they came after him with "lanterns and torches". One would wonder why they would need this with a full moon shining. Then there is my "Judas dream" of early 1988 where I dreamed that Jesus wasn't even killed on passover but in early September. Would you believe November 24th. 29 AD? There was a total ecclipse that day with the darkest point right at noon. If Jesus was crusified at nine o clock the eclipse would come at noon. But note from the passage the leader got away while his desciples were killed, in the oposit of what the gospells say. But there is also the "Barrabus" story or "Jesus Barrabus". This means "Jesus so & so" in comon meaning. So you have the theme of the guy who got away and another who was crusified. You then have the sub story of how another had to bear the cross of Jesus. But are there indications in scripture that Jesus or a desciple of his was crusified November 24th. close to winter? Well, we know it was cold, because they built a fire. It also speaks of an "upper room" for the supper. This would not be a selling point in summer, but it would in winter because heat rises. Also it says that Mary Magdolane got up "while it was still dark". Either she got up at four, or else the sun rose later. Also there was pressure for Pilate to take down the bodies "because the Sabbath was approaching even though it was just past three. But in the winter the sun would set earlier. The whole thing with Pilate and the mob howeling for blood - - is historically speaking very improbably, particularly because on Sunday they were crying "Hosana" or "Save Now". Convicts aren't burried in expensive tombs, either.

The Phoenix lander had sucessfully landed on Mars. Leo Laporte has spoken of the two successful ventures of this day. This space craft with all its expensive equipment landing on Mars, and that woman who is rowing across the Pacific. This craft will yield valuable information about possible life on Mars, which Christians seem to be inalterably against. It's sad that today's school children can't witness the thrill of space exploration on TV like we did.
