We
are a little more than half way through this study dealing with the
Hypocrisy and Apostasy of the worlds Religious Systems, spoken of in Thessalonians. Which were on
the heart of Paul as he once was the Pharisees pharisee and the first
wildbeast who saught the flesh of those identified in Christ as
revealed in Acts 8:1 and later by his own witness. He know first hand
the substance of which he was speaking. Paul know by the Spirit
within him that which was about to spring up in a falseness known as
RELIGION. Where the power of GOD within man would be denied and taught
as being off in the distance and a some day kind of thing. Pushing
the promised kingdom off to another day and time. Just as the early
Hebrews had fallen away from becoming the head, that was the become a
LIGHT to the world had. Through this action Israel became the tail
and not the head as they failed to see and hear GOD'S revelation.
They failed to see the promised Messiah throughout the scriptures
that spoke of Him. Who was to come as a Son like to Moses. For it was
Moses who spoke to GOD and was acknowledged by Him as being
acceptable and a righteous man, a true Prophet or voice for GOD. It
is a fact that both the name Moses and Jesus have the same root
meaning, salvation through water. And salvation means inner or inward
healing. Which is the reentry of GOD'S ontological essense within
mans soul making man a son of GOD again. This is the revelation that
Religion hinders from being a reality with those who will become the
willing ones by keeping this great Truth from becoming a reality.
Religion fosters a false conception of GOD though it may speak great
swelling words of faith. But this faith is predicated on mans
religion of traditions and the acceptance of the deception, one of
being only through membership in this or that denomination or church
memebrship as a good steward of this or that faith. Within each are
doctrines of faith that bind those who will submit to them a false
belief system as evil and deadly as in its founder, Satan the angel
of deceptive light. In
what is then called faith. Which is an association with a
demonination, sect, or church group as followers of that particular
group and binds those in and deceived by it to Satan's deceptive grip
whose end is hells fire of eternal separation from GOD. GOD is in a different kind of business activity
and it is this, relationship and communication within those who are
become His, again. This is in accord and bears witnessing with
Genesis 2 and the hidden promise of Genesis 3:15.
Accept for a small band or sect who willing separated themselves from the church in Jerusalem and held tightly to the hope of the light that was seen as being a distant thing, until the day of John the baptist's birth. This birth marked a change of course for all of humanity thereafter.
Next I'll
address the charge of treason found in John 19:12 which is part of
the inquisition of Jesus after first facing His accusers of the then
Jewish Religion (religion noted the change of course it had suffered, as seen in the following statements) and then in our scene He is before Pilate beginning
at verse 8 through 15 after he heard this charge against Jesus in
verse 7: “The
Jews answered, We have a Law, and by our Law He ought to die, because
He made Himself the Son of God.
When
Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; And went
again into the judgment hall, and asked Jesus, Whence are You? But
Jesus gave him no answer. Then asked Pilate of Him, Speak to me? know
You not that I have power to crucify You, and have power to release
You? Jesus answered, You could have no
power
against
Me, except it were given you from above: therefore he that delivered
Me to you has the greater sin.
And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release Him: but the Jews cried
out, saying, If you let this
man go, you are not Caesar's friend: whoever makes himself a king
speaks against Caesar.
When
Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat
down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but
in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the Passover,
and about the sixth hour (just about dawn, moments before the sacrical lambs were being slain): and he said to the Jews, Behold your King!
But they all cried out, Away with Him,
away with Him,
crucify Him. Pilate said to them, Shall I crucify your King? The
chief Priests answered, We
have no king but Caesar.”
