Dear T B Joshua
You seem to be the Godfather of Spiritual Fathers in Africa. You are one of the people who has inspired the whole African continent to follow the Spiritual Papa movement. Personally I believe you are one of the men in this world who are hurting the black race. You are accountable for brainwashing millions of vulnerable black people and keeping them in slavery, mental slavery. The white man is no longer our enemy, men like you TB Joshua are the true enemies of the black race. You are accountable for keeping black people in chains when God released us from Egypt centuries ago. You train men like Walter Magaya to cause maximum damage to black people, and you do all this in the name of God.
You call yourself a Prophet who hears directly from above. But today I have the honor to call you a liar and a false prophet. I hold you accountable using the same bible you claim to follow.
“If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared. Deuteronomy 18:22, NLT
You issued a prophecy to the world via Facebook on 6 November 2016 at 4:16 pm where you claimed that you had been shown a woman winning the next American Presidential Election. Holding you accountable using the bible, your prophecy has failed to come to pass just 3 days after. Today Donald Trump became the American President and I think it’s fair for us all to agree that he is definitely not a woman. According to the bible, you did not hear from God sir and you spoke without authority from above. People should no longer fear you. In other words, you are not a prophet and no one should hold you in that esteem.
Today soon after Donald Trump shocked the world by becoming the 45th US President, you quickly deleted your prophecy from Facebook. But we thank God for technology, smart black people had already screenshot your lies, and they will never be deleted from social media forever. Here is the evidence of your lies below.
TB Joshua, please do the honorable thing and apologize to God first. Then to us the black race. I think its also fair to apologize to the American people who truly believed your false prophecy and did not go to vote thinking God had already done it. It’s actually because of people like you why Trump has even won in the first place. You contributed to the media hype and campaign that caused people not to vote for your beloved Hillary Clinton thinking it was a done deal. The true God has really spoken, he favored Donald Trump over Clinton.
May I end this open letter by addressing all the black people who are under the spell of prophets and spiritual fathers. Just a few days ago I wrote about how men like you TB Joshua are a curse to the black people, especially black women. To my dear black folk across the whole world, may the winning of Donald Trump be a wake up call to the entire black race. Do not be afraid of anything or anyone. Donald Trump is not your enemy. Slavery was abolished in the 18th century. We are now in the 21st century. Colonialism is over. Its time to just move on from the chains of slavery. Stop mourning. Hillary Clinton was never going to do anything for you anyway. Even Barack Obama could not save you. The problem is not the world leaders, or the white men. The problem is us.
As for you TB Joshua, instead of just deleting your fake prophecy from Facebook, please do issue a statement and explain to us why your god lied to you. I for one am waiting for that statement from you, and I know millions of black people who believed in you are waiting too. You are trending all over social media, even BBC and CNN are mentioning your failed prophecy, so please redeem yourself and speak out.
Yours sincerely
Jean Gasho
PS: I was not used by the devil when writing this letter and I definitely won’t be cursed or punished by God for it. And for the record I’m not mad, I’m just a woman

Well, being an IT expert, I don’t limit myself to common dogmatism. I love to search knowledge and look at things at both sides always. Spirituality is a subject of interest to me. I have studied over 40 religions across the globe. Have studied churches and over 300 pastors, prophets and almost every proclaimed Deity. And I have a Diploma in Theology. Will be starting Philosophy next year. I love Science too. So thats how I got to know so much about him. And I do respect everybody for their beliefs, even the ones I do not trust.
Just like the way you look at Trump and like him, so do I look at certain issues in life. I do not subscribe to opinionated dogma but always weigh and respect people’s views and opinions. As much as you have a right to believing and expression, so does “allbody”. And I respect your views and since its blog, people share views. I just did 🙂

I saw videos of prophets across the world also saying Hillary will win. I do not think it was God talking but them just trying to make judgment based on CNN which was peddling lies. CNN was behaving like ZBC where they say Zanu PF rally had 20 000 yet they were just 7 000. Trump was filling stadiums in his rallies yet Clinton could barely fill a parking lot. It was obvious that Trump will win but CNN, BBC, etc they wanted so bad to convince people that they are wasting their vote voting Trump becaz Hidza had already won which was not true.

Full disclosure. I am an atheist. I don’t believe in prophecy either.
I HAVE been entertained by this story though. So much so I that have read every comment section on any site I can find running the story. People using religious arguments to attack/rationalise this guy is hilarious
Your take is slightly different. There is a consequence to the black race seems. Particularly to black women.
I couldn’t quite follow your argument through to a logical conclusion though. My fault. Let me see If I can make sense of it
Joshua is a charlatan, that is beyond any doubt (in my opinion). The fact that he makes millions fleecing the gullible and indoctrinated is not entirely his fault however. It’s deplorable for sure, but religion IS the perfect tool for his type of hustle. It actively encourages followers to suspend their critical thinking when it comes to matters of faith. As you have seen in the responses you’ve received, some people just don’t think when it comes to their faith or favorite pastor. The fault then becomes theirs, not the pastor.
I don’t see that race matter here. Joshua spreads his poison to all races. As do all these prosperity gospel types. White or Asian or Latino people would have the same type of reaction – denial/attach the person pointing out the faulty message. If Joshua preaches his particular message (to black people in particular) who then don’t care to critically weigh in the real world then Joshua doesn’t owe anyone an apology. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice then it’s on me
Also, world politics doesn’t seem to me to be as black and white as you seem to put it. Even if Joshua, contributed to the media hype surrounding Hillary, simply dismissing him doesn’t make the issues for black people go away. Institutional racism, poverty, injustice and exploitation, while not slavery, are real and particular issues on the African continent and for black Americans regardless of the media. I get the sense that sections of the the black populace felt that the road to emancipation would have been slightly smoother with Hillary than with Trump. I don’t think anyone realistically thinks its going to be easy either way
The problem, as I see it, isn’t them OR us. It is them AND us.

Tich’s, Jean is actually been explaining how the black women are vulnerable to these men of God, who claim they hear from God. They will tell the black women all sorts of lies to win their hearth in order to sleep with them, get their money and put fear in their hearth all in the name that God has spoken to them concerning things that will happen in the future to a particular woman. All these lies in the name of prophesy (God speaking to them) is brainwash.
Sometimes ago in my city, a particular woman has gone to meet a prophet asking the man of God to pray for her so that she can bear a child, only for the so called man of God to lie to the woman that God has commanded him to sleep with the woman in order to be able to bear a child.
It takes the learned person who really reads and knows the bible inside out to know that the man of God is lying. The word of God said who so ever sleep with another woman has committed adultery, how same God could tell the man of God to sleep with another person’s wife in order to bear children.
Like this very case, many fake pastors does these prophesy of a thing to get cheap popularity and to also get their followers and other people to believe in them so that they can continue to be relevant among the true pastors. Don’t forget that these pastors have no other jobs, but are making a living on the tithe and offering that their members give to the church, more members means more wealth.
However, most of the time what the fake prophet does is prediction not prophecy, TB Joshua could have just said that he has a feeling that Clinton will win the election and shouldn’t have mentioned that God spoke to him. If God spoke to him of the truth, Clinton would have won. The Almighty God does not lie and he is the Omniscience God; the all-knowing God. Before now, God knows more than 200 years ago that Donald Trump will win this very particular election. And as such, he can reveal it to his prophets if God wishes.
This is the bone of contention that Jean has towards the whole issue. Taking the name of God in vain, and lying toward the almighty God. What he God has not said TB Joshua is saying that God has said it. Will you call such man a true man of God? The answer belongs to you all depending on your opinion and status with God. I am also a good Christian and I also read the Bible. The blueprint of everything in life is stated in the Bible.
Had it been that Clinton won, TB Joshua could have been bragging by now saying that he is the prophet of our time, but I can tell you all what is doing is prediction God has not told him anything.
Anybody can look at any event and predict who will win it and most of the time it can be accurate. Just like a pregnant woman may predict she is having a baby girl and it could just be accurate.
This is my take.
My advice to the men of God is this, if God has not talk to you don’t say you have heard from God; just say it is a prediction not prophesy.
Thank you all.

Your father has errors he committed, but did you ever called him a fake? You have errors you have committed. But has God ever called you a fake? If you think prophecy is a very easy phenomenon and it is all about hearing and seeing what God shows you spiritually, then I ask you this question-‘why was Prophet Isaac deceived by his son Jacob to be Esau. Where were his spiritual eyes to help him see that Jacob wasn’t Esau? If out of 100, I score even 60, is that not a pass mark?
If you claim you are born-again and you read your Bible, tell me why should God command Moses to warn pharoah to set the Israelites free and the same God goes to harden the heart of pharoah not to set the lsraelites free? Doesn’t that make Moses sound fake? Please read your bible too well before you criticize. Don’t capitalize on Deuteronomy 18 only because it is not a perfect parameter for judging the validity of a prophet. If this prophecy according to Deuteronomy 18 makes him a fake, then what will the other prophecies which came to existence in the past make him be? Truly you don’t know the perfect parameters for judging the validity of a true prophet. They are found in Galatians 5:22.

LET TB DEAL HIS GOD ON HIS ERROR.
Please leave TB Joshua alone and let him deal with his God on this prophesy matter. Suppose he told you what he saw, and all of a sudden it changed? The fulfillment of prophecy is contingent upon 1) The circumstance surrounding the prophecy: If the circumstance changes, then it may not come to pass. For example, King Ahab killed Naboth and took his vineyard (1 Kings 21). Elijah then went to Ahab and prophesied his death. After the judgment was passed, Ahab humbled himself in fasting and prayer, and God removed the disaster that was to come upon him and deferred it to the days of Ahab’s sons. In Jonah 3, the prophet Jonah prophesied the overthrowing of Ninevah forty days from the time the word was given. The bible said that the Ninevites humbled themselves, and prayed, and turned away from their evil ways, and God did not bring the disaster spelled out for Ninevah. If you read Jonah 4, you will know that Jonah was not a happy camper. In 1 Corinthians 13:9 the word of God says that ‘For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears’.
I personally have some issues with TB’s ministry, but I cannot make any remarks about what he is doing. He will face his God someday just like me. One thing I know is that the gospel is not proclaimed in Africa. That is why Africa is still dark not because of TB alone. People are not being called to turn away from their sins, and to walk in true holiness. If there are preachers that preach that message these days in Africa, you can literally count them. In fact, such preachers are rarely found in the world because Satan has so blanketed the world with his works of darkness. Our Lord Jesus is coming back again, soon and very soon.
So, I beg you for the sake and safety of your own soul, leave TB Joshua alone. Let God deal with him. The fact that he deleted the prophecy should tell you that he is already dealing with that burden. I beg, make you no add more weight on dat man’s wahala. Pray for God to open his eyes so he might see. If he his not saved, perhaps, your prayer will bring salvation to him.

The funny thing is that Bible clears that we shall follow GOD by accepting His Sacrifice and submit to Him in the Name of Jesus.

Note that i am not against pastoral preaching but i want to be clear about their role. their role is not to mediate people with GOD but tell the Good News about Salvation. Because we have only one Mediator:(1Timothy 2:5).
Nowadays many preachers want to be mediators or receive same honour.

HELLO JEAN, KEEP WRITING SISTER, PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP IN THIS TIME. LIFE IS NOT A JOKE EVERY LIVING SOUL HAS A MISSION TO FULFILL!!!
Did Jesus create the universe?
TOPICS: No spiritual teaching is absolute truth – God created the world out of itself – God creates out of its own consciousness – first God created the Christ consciousness – knows God as the source of all – logos – material world is an expression of God’s consciousness – Jesus is out of the Christ consciousness, but the Christ consciousness is more than Jesus – Jesus came to demonstrate that we all have the Christ potential – the universal Christ consciousness spoke through Jesus – science and religion –
Question: This question may be complicated but I have a deep yearning to learn how did Jesus Christ create the universe and the laws of physics and science? Really how did the “word” who the Bible says is Jesus Christ create the cosmos? How is “the word” (Jesus Christ) intertwined in the laws of physics and science?
Answer from ascended master Jesus through Kim Michaels:
I very much welcome complicated questions, especially those that spring from a deep yearning to know the truth.
As I attempt to explain throughout this website, the true purpose of a spiritual teaching is not to bring a complete or infallible truth. It simply is not possible to explain the truth of God through the words found in the material universe. All words have more than one meaning and therefore mean different things to different people.
It is essential for spiritual seekers to recognize the limitations of words and therefore the inherent limitations of any spiritual teaching, including the Bible itself. Therefore, the mature spiritual seekers will be alert and avoid any risk of turning a spiritual teaching into an idol and dancing around it, like the Jews danced around the golden calf while Moses went to the mountain to experience the living truth of God.
We have explained some of the mechanics of how God created the universe. Let me say here that in the beginning was only God, meaning a state of pure Being. Thus God created the world out of itself.
The first aspect of creating anything is to create a mental image of what you want to create. You must have a blueprint, a matrix, an idea, a vision before you can create anything, at least anything that is sustainable. When you understand that God is a state of pure Being, you realize that God truly is a state of consciousness. God is a conscious being and because there is nothing but God, it creates everything out of itself, meaning that God creates everything out of its own consciousness. Therefore, everything that was ever created by God is truly a manifestation of the consciousness of God.
So when God decided to create, the first act of creation was the creation of a state of consciousness which was able to hold the mental images of the forms God wanted to create. Because this state of consciousness was the first element of creation, one can call it the firstborn Son or the only begotten Son of the Father.
Please keep in mind that the words “Father” and “Son” were used by me 2,000 years ago, when I attempted to explain the process of creation to people that were in a far more primitive state of consciousness than the consciousness of most people in today’s world. Therefore, my ability to explain the mysteries of creation was greatly limited by people’s state of consciousness, and I had to use words and images that were familiar to them.
I portrayed God as a loving father figure and I explained the Christ consciousness as the Son of God. In reality, God the Father is a state of consciousness and the Son of God is also a state of consciousness, namely what I would like to call the universal Christ consciousness.
So the first element of creation is a universal state of consciousness. This state of consciousness can hold the images, the blueprints, for any form ever created by God. At the same time, it maintains the awareness that the form originated in God and was created through the power of God. Therefore, even though the form appears different from the Creator, it is fashioned from the very consciousness of the Creator. In other words, the Christ consciousness alone knows the Father and knows that everything sprang from the Father.
So what you see now is that the universal Christ consciousness is a mind that holds a blueprint for everything ever created by God, including the laws of nature that are recognized by science. These laws were formulated by God and are stored in what one might call the computer or data bank of the universal Christ consciousness. The laws of nature were formulated to ensure that the material universe could evolve in a sustainable manner and would not self-destruct.
Although it is impossible to give a correct description of the reality of God through a linear image, I would like to suggest one way to envision the creation of God. In the beginning was only the state of pure Being. This is a state of consciousness. Out of the state of pure Being forms another consciousness which is aware of its own existence and of its ability to create. This is the Creator. The Creator now forms, out of its own consciousness, another state of consciousness which is the universal Christ mind. The Creator forms and stores the blueprint for its creation in the universal Christ mind. This blueprint is what the Gospel of John calls the Word or the logos. One might say that everything was created from the word, or the logos, or one might say that everything was created from the universal Christ consciousness.
In other words, the Creator is not different from the state of pure Being. The state of pure Being is embedded within the consciousness of the Creator. The Christ consciousness is not different from the Creator because the consciousness of the Creator is embedded within the Son. The forms that were created out of the universal Christ consciousness are not different from the Christ mind because the Word is embedded within every form.
When you look at creation from the viewpoint of a human being, you think the material world is somehow separated from God. Yet in reality, everything ever created from God was created out of God’s substance and consciousness. Therefore, the material universe is not separate from God; it exists within God’s consciousness. It is an expression of God’s consciousness.
One might say that the universal Christ mind is a container that holds a number of images, almost like slides. Each image contains the blueprint for one of the forms found in the material universe. As the light of God shines through the slide, the image of the form is projected unto the screen of life and appears as a material form. Yet everything is created from the same basic substance, namely the consciousness of God.
The error that has crept into Christianity is that Jesus Christ, meaning my physical body and outer personality, has become identified with the Christ consciousness. Some Christians even identify my outer person with God himself. This is an incorrect assumption that has no bearing in reality. However, to fully understand this, you must be aware of as another subtle distinction.
The universal Christ consciousness truly is the only begotten Son of the Father. It is the firstborn Son. When the universal Christ consciousness came into existence, there were no manifest forms. The material universe did not exist and neither did the spiritual realm because at that point nothing was created. Therefore, the individual lifestream that human beings called Jesus Christ was not created. I simply did not exist and neither did you or anyone else. At that point in time, there was only God and the universal Christ consciousness. No forms, meaning no individualizations of the universal Christ consciousness, had been created.
God created everything out of the universal Christ consciousness. Therefore, everything that was ever created has the universal Christ consciousness embedded within it. That is why I said that if people should hold their peace in defense of the Christ, the very stones themselves would cry out. How could the stones cry out in defense of the Christ, unless they had the Christ consciousness embedded within them?
As God started the process of creation, it created the first sphere, which is now the highest level of the spiritual realm. When the first sphere ascended, the beings from that sphere created the beings who descended into the second sphere and so on until this sphere. I am a product of this process, yet contrary to what many human beings want to think, after having idolized me for 2,000 years, I am no more and no less important than any other lifestream.
I was, however, chosen for a special mission to planet earth, and as I attempt to explain throughout my website, the purpose of my mission was to demonstrate that all human beings have the potential to manifest the Christ consciousness. This potential is due to the fact that the universal Christ consciousness is embedded within everything. So you have the potential to become aware that you are a son or daughter of God.
I demonstrated the path to Christ consciousness, and I set forth an example of how a person acts when he or she is completely united with the Christ consciousness. I therefore acted as a messenger for the universal Christ consciousness, and the universal Christ mind did indeed speak through me on a number of occasions. What confuses many Christians is that they do not distinguish between the individual lifestream, called Jesus Christ, and the universal Christ consciousness that was expressing itself through me.
You see, when I attained oneness with my Christ self, I became the open door through which the universal Christ mind could act and speak in this world. When I made the statement, “I am the way, the truth and the Life,” that statement did not refer to my outer personality or even my individual lifestream. This statement was spoken by the universal Christ mind, and therefore the true meaning is that the universal Christ consciousness is the way the truth and the life and no one can come to the Father, meaning the consciousness of the Creator, without going through the universal Christ consciousness.
So you see that even the Gospel of John contains an incomplete understanding of the reality of God. This is not to find fault with the person who brought forth this gospel. It simply means that the Gospel of John represents the highest understanding that could be given 2,000 years ago, considering the state of consciousness that most people had at that time.
Today, humankind has risen to a higher level of consciousness and because of the development of science, a more detailed explanation can be given. That is indeed what I attempt to bring forth throughout this website by building upon the scientific discovery that everything is energy. I can assure you that had such discoveries been available 2,000 years ago, I would have made use of them. The current state of warfare between science and religion is completely unnecessary and only serves to keep people on both sides of the issue trapped in a limited understanding of reality.

Why you should not take the Bible literally
TOPICS: Why four gospels? – no use for blind faith – look beyond literal interpretations – only within can you hear the comforter – four gospels written for different purposes – true meaning of “virgin” – deliberate mistranslation to set Jesus above other people – Jesus denounced salvation through an outer church – look within you for Jesus and the comforter –
Question: Beloved Jesus, could You comment on this fragment from Matthew’s Gospel? As I see, in a dictation given by Mother Mary when she released her very first Rosary in this new dispensation, she told, that union between her and Joseph was physical, but with the participation of Holy Spirit, but this Gospel says that it was without participation of Joseph. Is this a lie? You know, that I usually go away of this fact (because I’m a member of Russian Orthodox Church), and I don’t think it is important for my spiritual growth, even I am afraid to think about this, but now it’s a critical point and I ask You, Beloved Jesus, please put the things on their places and help me.
18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23 The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel—which means, “God with us.”
24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
Answer from ascended master Jesus through Kim Michaels:
Let me take this as another opportunity to comment on the common belief among Christians that the official gospels must somehow be the infallible word of God and that they fell from the sky in their present form. If the gospels really are the infallible word of God, then why are there four gospels? Why not simply give one gospel that contains everything you need to know? Furthermore, even though the gospels have many similarities, they also have some differences, even some contradictions. Why run the risk of creating confusion and doubt, why not simply give forth one gospel?
I know many Christians will not acknowledge that there are inconsistencies and contradictions in the gospels, but take a look at the following quotes concerning how I first appeared to my disciples after my resurrection.
Matthew, Chapter 27:
1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
Mark, Chapter 16:
9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
Luke, Chapter 24:
13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
John, Chapter 20:
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
I fail to see how anyone can read these quotes and still hold on to the belief that the four gospels are the infallible word of God. It is impossible to explain away the inconsistencies and contradictions in these quotes. Now, there are those who will say that such inconsistencies have no impact on their faith, but that is an attitude that is both constructive and non-constructive.
I am in no way pointing out the flaws in the gospels in order to destroy people’s faith. However, I would very much like to see people go beyond blind faith and come to a faith that is based on understanding, even inner knowledge. As I said:
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. (Matthew 15:14)
It is not constructive that people maintain the blind belief that the Bible must be infallible, for it prevents them from going beyond literal interpretations. And without going beyond the surface, how can you develop a deeper faith based on understanding? Why do you think I said to my own disciples:
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? (Matthew, Chapter 7)
I expected my original disciples to look beyond superficial interpretations, and I expect the same of my modern disciples. The sad fact is that those who maintain their blind belief in the infallibility of the Bible have adopted the same mindset as the lawyers of old, namely the people I denounced as follows:
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. (Luke 11:52)
Blind faith in the outer word and a refusal to look beyond a literal interpretation of that word was what I denounced in the scribes and Pharisees when I said:
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:20)
Blind faith prevents you from finding the key of knowledge, which can only be found by going beyond the outer word, by going within yourself, which is why I said:
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. (Luke 17:21)
If you do not go within, how can you hear the directions of the comforter that I have sent to help all people understand the inner meaning of my teachings:
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (John 14:16)
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14:26)
The Comforter can teach you nothing as long as your mind is closed to anything beyond the official scriptures and a literal interpretation of them. And when you do open you mind, you will realize that the four official gospels did not fall from the sky as the infallible word of God. They were written by four different people, and although they had varying degrees of Divine inspiration, they also had a practical agenda for their gospels.
In other words, the four gospels were not written to be put next to each other in the same book, nor did the people writing them think they were bringing forth the infallible word of God that would stand unchanged for all eternity. The gospels were adapted to specific groups of people and thus each gospel is to some degree adapted to the beliefs and culture of the people for whom it was written. This is common knowledge among people who have studied the Bible and the context in which each gospel was written.
It is also common knowledge that the Gospel of Matthew was written in part to convince Jews that I was indeed the Messiah they had been promised in the Torah. Thus, this gospel starts with a genealogy and contains many references to scriptures and prophecies from the past, including the one in the section quoted above: “All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel—which means, ‘God with us.’”
In other words, the gospel was written specifically to tie my life to the Jewish prophecies—the law and the prophets. There are many things in Matthew that are specifically designed to accomplish this goal, meaning that the words and the content will support the writers goal. This is not necessarily false, but certainly there are many other valid ways to describe my ministry and there are many other aspects of my life and teachings that could be described. As John realistically says:
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. (John 21:25)
It is not commonly understood that the word “virgin” is actually a mistranslation of the Hebrew word “almah” that more correctly means a “pure woman.” This referred to a woman who was living a holy life and who had dedicated her life to serving God, as was Mary before she met Joseph. In other words, women could commit themselves to the celibate path even after having been married and having children, which would still make them pure. Thus, a woman could be pure while not being what modern people call a virgin, meaning that the Old Testament prophecy could actually be fulfilled by Mary even though I was conceived in a physical manner.
Why was the Hebrew word translated as virgin? Because during the formation of the Roman Catholic church, everything possible was done to set me above other people and make me so special that no one could follow in my footsteps. If I was the only person ever to be born by a physical virgin, I must obviously be above and beyond all other people, meaning that no one could possibly follow in my footsteps. This has allowed mainstream Christians, be they Catholic, eastern Orthodox or Lutherans, to ignore some of the passages that clearly point to the fact that I came as an example for all to follow:
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. (John 14:12)
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Matthew 16:24)
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: (Philippians 1:5)
If you dare to go within and ask the Comforter to reveal the truth to you, you will understand that the Gospel of Matthew seeks to establish my authority as the Messiah in order to convince the close-minded Jews. And later that gospel was mistranslated by close-minded Christians bent on destroying my example by setting me up as an idol that no one can follow. These people took my teachings – given to set people free – and used them to control people by saying people could only be saved by me through the outer church. This is precisely the approach taken by the leaders of the Jewish religion—the very leaders who killed me. I denounced them by saying that the kingdom of God is within you, which means that you can be saved without an outer church.
It is time for modern spiritual people to acknowledge their potential to find the kingdom of God within themselves and thereby be the Christ in embodiment on earth. To do this, they must overcome the belief that the Bible must be infallible in order to be useful. Surely, the gospel writers had Divine inspiration, but their words were adapted to their own consciousness and the consciousness of the people for whom the gospels were written. This is no different from any other genuine revelation, including this website. However, there is a difference in the sense that because humankind have risen in consciousness, I can tell people more on this website today than I could reveal through the Gospel writers 2,000 years ago. And this is proven – undeniably – by my own words:
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. (John 16:12)
It is therefore high time and past time to set people free from all fear of looking beyond the official Christian scriptures. Dare to let the Comforter guide you beyond what the official churches want you to know. As Moses said to Pharaoh, I now say to the orthodox churches: “Let my people go!” And to the spiritual people who are still trapped in blind adherence to orthodox churches, I repeat God’s words to Abraham:
1Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee:
2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great. (Genesis, Chapter 12)
