Given To Know The Mystery
And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, so that
‘Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand;
Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.’”
Mark 4:11 – 12
Would anyone who read the Christian Bible be able to understand it? From the above verse it would appear that the Scriptures actually said that unless you are a disciple or follower (the ‘you’ referenced in the above quoted verse) of JESUS CHRIST you won't be able to understand the Christian Bible. Is this true? Is this what the Christian Bible irrevocably proclaimed that only the disciples of JESUS would be able to understand the message of the Christian Holy Scriptures?
Well, no and yes.
The message of the Christian Bible is a simple one. The fact is the central concept of the Bible message can be summarized into just one word. (I am speaking from the perspective of the English language; you may need more than one word if it were another language).
Truth is, being a super genius (i.e. those with very high IQ or genius level intellectual endowment) or a seminary (i.e. any formal religious training and educational institution or missionary) or university (i.e. academic institution of higher learning whether accredited or not) trained PhD expert, would actually make it harder than easier for you to be a able to understand the Christian Holy Scriptures.
If you are just a typical man (includes woman) in the street with no formal doctrinal training or indoctrination in some sects of so called Christianity, and you sincerely and diligently study the Scriptures thoroughly with a simple faith and contriteness of spirit you will probably be able to understand it more, or at least more of what is recorded. This is on account of the brain washing whereby all so called educational institutional (including religious training institutions) in all branches of specialties, indoctrinate their enrollees with their own brand and own take (i.e. twists, spins and inventions) on knowledge.

Many to most reading this would probably not agree. But before you jump the gun with your own opinion and assertions (and even accusations) if you really believe and hold yourself as someone sincerely seeking for truth, please read through just this two first chapters of this project listed in the this blog, ‘The Holy Bible Expounded’ of this author (and also all the additional discussions if you so choose) before doing so. I won't say that you will agree with me by then, but that is always your freewill onus and choice, just as it has been your freewill onus and choice to insist to read this post (and also any other posted discussion of this work).
The greater majority of (but not all) people usually choose believe in something or someone either because they wanted to (for any number of reasons) or because they were scared out of their wits to (just read the next four of five paragraphs for the proof of this). I am not here doing this work to make anyone do anything or to frighten anyone into doing anything. I am just providing information for people to make their own decision about their own lives what they want to believe in and whether if they so believed they would want to seriously take any action in the conduct of their lives to actually reflect these beliefs.
But I do hope you are aware (i.e. you have realized) that in a world of nearly seven billion people, around three and a half billions of them claimed to believe in either JESUS CHRIST andor the GOD of Abraham the Father of the Faithful, but they don't all believe in the same thing and they (those who professed to believe either in this JESUS andor in this GOD) have been torturing and killing one another (and also anybody else who would reject them as the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of God and would refuse to accede to their demands to obey them and submit to their rule and doctrines) for centuries in the name of either JESUS andor GOD or both.
Many of them are still advocating the same today but just discretely (that means they won't say it out loud), whenever they feel or perceive their beliefs in either this JESUS andor this GOD is being threatened by others irregardless of whether this perceived threat is real or imagined. This is not to say that many of them are not saying out loud, many are, whenever they are able to do so with some measure of impunity, or feel they are able to so with some measure of impunity.
Many of them are still advocating the same today but just discretely (that means they won't say it out loud), whenever they feel or perceive their beliefs in either this JESUS andor this GOD is being threatened by others irregardless of whether this perceived threat is real or imagined. This is not to say that many of them are not saying out loud, many are, whenever they are able to do so with some measure of impunity, or feel they are able to so with some measure of impunity.
That is not all, of these around three and a half billions people (less those below twelve years of age or having some mental impairment that deprive them from having a adult level human intelligence) who claimed to believe in JESUS CHRIST (as whatever they claimed HIM to be) andor the GOD of Abraham (also as whatever they claimed HIM to be), over two billions of them (with around one half of them in one organization entity and the remainders in over a thousand sects and denominations, all with their own special sets of preferred beliefs) claimed they believe the Christian Holy Scriptures is the inspired Word of this GOD but only selected parts (and yes, they get to select which parts) of these Scriptures are valid, with the rest been obsolete and superseded thus irrelevant. And also of their selected valid parts, many are not to be taken literally because they are just figure of speech. And yes, they get to select which are and which aren't. And they also get to figure out what these figures of speech say and don't say. This is not to say that there are none among them who say that everything needed to be taken literally, only just not, literally literally, but only whenever it is suitable literally to whatever they want the literally to be and to mean.
Of the another around one billion people who claimed to believe in the GOD of Abraham (as the ALMIGHTY CREATOR GOD of all things) and also in Jesus (but only just a prophet, just one of the many prophets of their God), they assert that only a small part (only the first five books) of the Old Covenant Scriptures is the inspired Word of GOD. But they also say that it is mostly to totally obsolete because they have the newest latest revelation which makes anything that doesn't agree with this their claimed newest latest revelation to be obsolete, irrelevant andor in error.
That, if we have not all decided that we should also pretend to be stupid, is the exact same thing as saying that they get to select whatever they want to be still valid because it agrees with whatever they want to believe and anything else and all things else are both obsolete and irrelevant, and also (but they just won't say it out loud) wrong.
And yes, these also claimed that they are the first, the actual and the original faithful believers of the GOD of Abraham and their religion is (and also all along has been) the actual and the original religion of Abraham except that they and their religion didn't become the first, the original and the actual, and they didn't start to become the true faithful until nearly two and a half thousand years after Abraham had died. This was when the supposedly one and only The (i.e. the definite article because all other prophets can only be ‘a’ common) prophet of their God turned up and then he (i.e. this The prophet and also The Apostle of God) got religion while hiding in a cave.
And of course all these are not all, there are plenty more I can go into that are the absolute undeniable proofs that people will just believe whatever they want (and lust) to no matter how ridiculous these beliefs are. But to do so would make this discussion very, very long and some might not have the patience to read them. That is the reason there are several blogs and numerous posted discussion, each broken down to a more manageable read even as some of these discussions are fairly lengthy (about the size of a small volume paperback novel).
If indeed the Christian Holy Scriptures can be believed of every hundred people who will read this post and this work, a good ninety-nine will either not believe from anything to most things written here, andor will not take any serious actions in their conduct irregardless of whether they believe or not. This is the consistent testimony of the Christian Holy Scriptures starting from the first family of mankind, Adam and Eve through the Antediluvian Age, the Post Antediluvian Age (from Noah to Abraham until Moses), the time the ancient Israelite were freed from the Egyptian bondage, their forty years wandering in the wilderness, the times of the Judges, the times of the United and later Divided Kingdoms, the time the ancients Jews were returned to the Promise Land until and through all the time of the First Advent and the Apostolic years. This is of course only if you think the Christian Holy Scriptures can be believed.
Anyone familiar enough with the Christian Bible (having completely read through it) would (or should anyway) know that many verses, passages and chapters of the Christian Bible are pretty straight forward statements and declarations which can easily be understood while some are cryptic, hidden in symbolism, analogy and allegory and other illustrative speech . The Old Covenant Scriptures tended to be more cryptic than the New Covenant Scriptures but both have clear cut simple and easy to understand (this is the no) messages together with difficult cryptic ones (and the yes).
Simple And Straight Forward Records
The bulk of the Christian Bible contains simple straight forward messages and instructions that anyone with average intelligence can easily understand. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist or an illustrated proclaimed defining expert with a PhD to understand the Christian Bible.
For example take this simple passage:
“See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
How about the Ten Commandments recorded in both Exodus chapter 20 and Deuteronomy chapter 5? Tell me you can’t understand these two examples and I would suggest you go take up English lessons or redo your pre-school and primary education.
Slightly later we will discuss the main problems religious “experts” and theologians are facing when they read the Ten Commandments and the other simple clear verses and passages of the Christian Bible, why they are clueless what it is all about. Just as they are clueless about the main and central message of the Bible that they have never been able to grasp.
Of course there are also the cryptic verses, passages and messages that are hard if not impossible for the unconverted mind (i.e. those non disciples and fake disciples of JESUS CHRIST as well as all the other ego supergorgers) to understand.
Here is an example of a cryptic message of the Christian Bible: Ezekiel 20 verse 45 to verse 49 was communicated to the Jews of the time of the Prophet Ezekiel and those Jews could not make any sense of what the Prophet Ezekiel was saying to them (verse 49):
Furthermore the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face toward the south; preach against the south and prophesy against the forest land, the South, and say to the forest of the South, ‘Hear the word of the LORD! Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree and every dry tree in you; the blazing flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be scorched by it. All flesh shall see that I, the LORD, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.”’” Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! They say of me, ‘Does he not speak parables?’”
Other verses which might seem confusing:
Zechariah 6 verse 8 to 9
‘Hear, O Joshua, the high priest, You and your companions who sit before you, For they are a wondrous sign; For behold, I am bringing forth My Servant the BRANCH. For behold, the stone That I have laid before Joshua: Upon the stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave its inscription,’
Says the LORD of hosts
Zechariah 6 verse 12 to 13
Then speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, saying: “ Behold, the Man whose name is the BRANCH! From His place He shall branch out, And He shall build the temple of the LORD; Yes, He shall build the temple of the LORD. He shall bear the glory, And shall sit and rule on His throne; So He shall be a priest on His throne, And the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”’
Isaiah 42:19 – 20
Who is blind but My servant, Or deaf as My messenger whom I send? Who is blind as he who is perfect, And blind as the LORD’s servant? Seeing many things, but you do not observe; Opening the ears, but he does not hear
In just the few verses quoted above, the words and statements on their own are not difficult to understand but not knowing the context as well as the symbolism used what they represent, made it impossible to understand what they were/are referring to. So without knowing the context and what the various symbolism represent, the reader cannot understand the messages that were conveyed.
Then there are verses and paragraphs that were interlaced with embedded symbols, parodies, analogies, allegories and metaphors. Unless you can figure out what these represent or were/are referring to, you won't be able to fully understand the message conveyed. To be sure the Scripture of Truth itself usually spelt out (i.e. defined) exactly what these meant most of the time, so if you are unhindered by your self expedient agenda or some preconceived ideas you should mostly be able to get these correct if you have thoroughly read through and meticulously studied the Christian Holy Scriptures. That is you would mostly be able understand many but not all of the things that these Scriptures recorded, because there is another element that is needed to fully understand, an element that needs a Spiritual ingredient and dimension; that of a believing faith plus the HOLY SPIRIT given only to all those who in true sincerity make the commitment to the Christian conversion.
The Three Main Categories [maincat]
The messages of the Christian Bible can very broadly be divided into three main classifications. One category is instructions, charges and commandments including exhortations, corrections, admonishments and rebukes.
The second category is basically records of genealogy, of situations, and events: of the past; current to that time of recording; and future to the time of recording which we call prophecies. Prophecies (includes visions) have an element of mystery to them as many prophecies are about the milestones events in the Mystery Of the Kingdom Of GOD and many prophecies are full of metaphoric symbols, allegories and analogies. Many prophecies have more than one fulfillment, one as the Actual (the specific fulfillment to the prophecy) and one or more as Types (each a general fulfillment to the prophecy as a Type with some representative similitude elements). This is in the same way as many verses and passages of Scriptures have several contexts to them, a few general contexts and one specific context.
The third can be termed as 'the Mystery of GOD' or the ‘Mystery of the Kingdom’ or the ‘Mystery of the Kingdom of GOD’. These all are of the same concept. They are primarily about GOD’s main agenda (purposes) when HE brought the Spiritual and physical realm, the heavens and the earth, into existence.
In the Beginning. GOD created the heavens and the earth
Instructions, Charges and Commandments of GOD
The instructions, charges and commandments are simple and straight forward, most of the time. Let us start from the very first recorded direct instruction to Adam and Eve.
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
There should not be any difficulty to that very simple and plain statement. But somehow the clear and simple word translated as ‘die’ had been twisted to mean ‘a forever life in the torment of hell’ by the disciples of the evil Christmas religion (as well as by other evil Abrahamic religions).
Even the ‘mysterious’ two trees of the Garden of Eden are very plainly and very simply named, such that no one should misunderstand what they represented. The reason they have been misunderstood is that people just won’t believe anything that GOD says (Romans 8:7) so they twisted it and added to it to effectively change it until it becomes something else altogether.
Now this I say, if you are going to put in your own twists, spins and inventions to the words and the messages of the Scripture of Truth, is it a small wonder that you don’t understand anything? If you were to put your own meanings and interpretations to very simple straight forward words and statements that people say there is no way you are going to correctly understand anybody or anything communicated.
Imagine someone saying, ‘I got to go now’ and you interpreted it to mean, ‘I hate your guts.’ Or ‘We got to do this again sometime’ and you took it to mean that he is looking for an opportune time to murder you. If such is the way you hear every word and statement then interpret them to mean anything you want, then the best option for you is to become comatose so you neither see nor hear or feel anything.
The Disciples Of The Christmas Religion (hereafter referred to as ‘they’) And Their Twisting Of The Scriptures.
The Christian Scriptures recorded, 'The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil’
And they say, ‘It is sex, dirty, filthy, defiling, sinful sex’.
Before JESUS CHRIST suffered, exactly on the day of the ordained annually observed and commemorated day of Passover, HE instituted the Passover as the new Covenant commanding, ‘This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ and HE added, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.’
So they say, ‘We must celebrate and commemorate Easter Sunday.’ And we must torture and murder all those who will obey JESUS to keep (i.e. honor and perform the ordained) New Covenant in the commemoration of the Passover as a reminder and memorial of HIS death until HE returns (1 Corinthians 11:24 – 26).
JESUS CHRIST said,
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:17 – 19
So they said, ‘you don’t have to keep the commandments of GOD (and of JESUS CHRIST) anymore because JESUS already fulfilled everything.’
And the Apostle Paul wrote, ‘Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.’
So they teach, ‘You don’t have to obey anything the Bible commanded to be saved because the Apostle Paul said so. Now all you need to do is to just obey the great Catholic Pope(s) andor us.’ Because that is exactly what you are doing when you keep Christmas and Easter and Sunday instead of commemorating the Passover and keeping the commandments of GOD and JESUS CHRIST as was recorded in the Scripture of Truth.
JESUS CHRIST after HIS resurrection met with HIS eleven remaining Apostles and spoke to them saying:
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
So they implicitly proclaimed, ‘The records of the Bible are hard to understand, just follow and totally obey whatever we teach and tell you even if these totally contradict the very words of JESUS CHRIST and all HIS instructions as recorded in the Christian Holy Scriptures.’
Now, can you see why these so called followers, disciples, theologians and experts of the Christmas religion and other evil anti GOD religions, unless they wiped their minds clear of all these misconceptions and stop their evil twisted way of reading the message of the Christian Bible, they are just not ever going to understand what it really teaches.
Read here an allegory of who these disciples, experts, theologians, popes, etc of the Christmas religion choose to and expect you to believe.
Genealogy, History, Events and Prophecies
Genealogy, history and contemporary events have no complications to them, except maybe you would need to do a bit of reconciliation between some seemingly disparate accounts. These are not critical to obedience and faith except as important lesson to give us an understanding of what took place. Especially on what went wrong that we might learn lessons from them to not make the same mistakes; so that we might be aware of and be familiar with the pitfalls and traps that would lead us to break our Everlasting Covenant with GOD and LORD JESUS.
Prophecies however may be slightly confusing as many of them are in parables and some having more than one fulfillments (with one or a more as a Type and one the Actual), so you need both a deeper and broader understanding of the whole Christian Biblical framework, the contextual focus of each of the passages, including the keys to the symbolic language used to illustrate and convey many of these prophetic messages.

Many prophecies are interlaced between prophecies of different events and time period, plus also other verses in a poetical structure so deciphering which is which, will need more than just deeper doctrinal understanding but an insight into the general prophetic framework and the main focus of the Christian Holy Scriptures. Many prophecies were full of symbolism so unless you know what these symbols represent you will have a hard time figuring out what is what. On top of that, many prophecies are also in the form of parables (i.e. riddles and proverbs) so a deep understanding of the framework and the focus of GOD plans and how they are being fulfilled is needed to grasp what these prophecies are about.
The Complications
So from the above you should be able to clearly see that except for Biblical prophecies and the main message of the Gospel, ‘The Mystery of Kingdom of GOD,’ the rest of the Scripture of Truth should not be at all difficult to understand. The reasons these sometimes seem to be confusing is because of the following:
Knowledge is empowerment (Genesis 3:17). I have given you the knowledge empowerment of the Truth, how you will proceed is up to you, but know for a certainty that GOD will bring all creature personages into judgment at the time HE had appointed to bring all into Judgment (Hebrew 9:27; Ecclesiastes 11:9; 2 Peter 3:7; Jude 1:6; Revelation 20:11 – 13).
As I have said before, nobody gets away with anything (Revelation 22:10 – 12, 14, 15; Matthew 12:41 – 42).
GOD is righteous, just and infinitely wise, HE will justly deal with every wicked deed and every infringing word and every act of deception and abuse of power committed by every man and woman who have ever lived since the Garden of Eden (Revelation 20:13; Luke 12:48; Matthew 12:36). There will be great weeping and gnashing of teeth (Luke 13:24 – 28) on that great day of GOD’s judgment (Revelation 21:7 – 8) when GOD will resurrect every human being made in the image and likeness of GOD who had ever lived for their just punishment (Revelation 22:11; 15).
Prophecies And Mystery Of The Kingdom Of GOD.
Prophecies are about events that will happen in a time future to the time they were revealed. A telling (i.e. disclosure) of an event before it happen, to foretell an event before it occurs. That is the concept of the word.
With Bible prophecies, most of the time until the event happens or comes to pass, there is a measure of difficulty to envisage it clearly in terms of both the time and the unfolding (occurring).

The Complications
So from the above you should be able to clearly see that except for Biblical prophecies and the main message of the Gospel, ‘The Mystery of Kingdom of GOD,’ the rest of the Scripture of Truth should not be at all difficult to understand. The reasons these sometimes seem to be confusing is because of the following:
1. Hastiness on the part of the reader or scholar. These are those who are too rash and hasty and develop their own ideas and notions about what they are reading without first thoroughly (reading from cover to cover all of the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation a few times) and diligently (meticulously questioning why and what all the things recorded added up to, through organizing these questions to collate them accordingly to then try to piece together seeking to get the full picture answers) study the Scriptures to understand the message. They quickly jump to their own interpreted conclusion, reading (one or some or even many) verses andor passages in isolation without thoroughly cross referencing, collating and first getting a good overview understanding of the focus and the whole framework of the Christian message. This is where most serious and sincere students of the Bible go wrong in trying to understand the message of the Bible. This is the most common and all encompassing failure of mankind (and is applicable to all creature personages including the Spirit Angels), of personages just having a little (i.e. not enough) knowledge and skill but began to perceive themselves as being able to understand and know all things immediately when they encounter them presuming in self deception that they already either have all the necessary knowledge and skills or that they have enough to be able to understand all things irregardless of the actual reality.
You can read the discussion of this presumptuousness of having all knowledge and of being supremely supreme (in one, some or all aspects) over all others, in all mankind (and even Spirit Angels) in the (currently ongoing as of June 2015) post, ‘While Create Life Through The Process Of Evolution’ of this blog, ‘The Holy Bible Expounded’.
2. Deceptiveness and bad faith on the part of the reader or scholar. These are those who read the Scriptures according to their own perceived self righteous values to impose their own ideas and concept of what is right and wrong, good and evil, twisting the reading of the Scriptures to their tailored desires, life orientations and self perceived superior intellect and nobility. This category I call, ‘self righteous bigots and hypocrites’.
Many apparently “meek, contrite, sincere and humble” (i.e. the humble proud) theologians, religious authorities and experts fall into this category. The Apostle Paul was a classic example of this as well as also showing some beginning traits of the next category (item 3 below).
Most of those who showcase this second trait ultimately (eventually) if they do not check themselves (or is not checked andor corrected by GOD) will also fully embraced the next trait (Point number 3 below). This is just the natural process of progression when one embraced evil, they progress from bad to worse. This is the reason GOD always correct those who are HIS Elect with punishment in persecutions andor afflictions (often letting them fall into the hands and the power of those who hate them) to jolt them to their senses. This however does not necessarily mean that when we fall into the hands of our enemies andor suffer afflictions it is always because we have done evil and GOD is punishing us (as some have claimed to advance their evil agenda).
To understand when and when not, please read the discussion on the full and various perspectives of test and trials. Tests and trials are a necessary process to Christian growth and development so that the faith and commitment of the Elect may be fully proven.
Punishment on the hand are necessary only when after repeated gentle reminders and corrections the Elect stubbornly refused to repent from the course of life they have taken to since after their baptism. A course of life that are increasingly proving them to be unfaithful to their commitment in the Covenant they have entered into with the FATHER and LORD JESUS. Eternal destruction is the ultimate punishment when they willfully refused to repent after repeated corrections.
3. The manipulation of expressly evil and wicked persons to distort the message to their own agenda and self expediency. These are the wicked predators and parasites of the society of mankind who would do anything and use anyone to forward themselves and their agenda. They manipulated the message of the Christian Bible to build a following after themselves so they can prey on, parasite off and use their followers to satisfied their own ego, greed and lust. These are the ‘human parasites and predators’.
4. The evil lies in the teachings and doctrines of the Christmas religion and other Antichrist religions. There are indeed many Antichrist religions. Most if not all of which were started by people of Point Number 3. As these religions lived on after their original founder, some have evolved into less parasitic forms such as in the case of some of the harlot daughters of the Babylonian Mystery religion recorded in the Book of Revelation. These may at the current time appear to be benign but will soon prove to be one of the main adversary of true Christians as these will unite under the False Prophet to collude with the soon rising Beast to persecute, torture and murder the true disciples of JESUS CHRIST just as their mother church had done not long after the Apostolic era. Just as their god and master, Satan the Devil have been doing through all his agents and followers since after the Garden of Eden. However the followers in this category mostly comprises of a few types. These are: the ‘deceived majority’; ‘blind guides’; and ‘follow the masses good timers and feel-gooders’ who mainly want to get on with their lives pursuing their self expediencies but wanted insurance that they won't end up burning or being tortured forever in eternal hell fire.
5. Losing the forest because of the trees. These rule-based “hare” splitters will never (unless they repent of their “rocket scientist” attitude) be able to understand the Scripture of Truth. Their minds are obsessed with the minute details, rigid sentence by sentence rules and technicalities and they can never see the big whole picture. If these were mathematicians they would be micro-focused on the one plus one and the two plus two, totally unable to understand the concept of mathematics which incidentally is not so much about numbers but about logic relationship, measurement, computation and quantification of quantifiable units. Yes this category is the ‘rule based hairsplitters’.
6. “Rocket Scientists.” The proud and the arrogant minds cannot accept anything and anyone as superior to them and their reasoning. To their minds and reasoning, the GOD of the Christian Bible is any, some or all of the following: unjust and unfair; dictatorial and exacting, hash and vindictive; sadistic and masochistic. Those of such putrid minds are just adding up their arrogance and sins to the day of their perdition (Malachi 4:1; Jude 1:14 – 15). These are not too different from the greedy gain seekers of item 7 below, except that their gluttony is to feed or super feed their self image. I have been using a term I have specifically coined to precisely identify the focus of their greedy lust —
7. The greedy gain seekers (1 Timothy 6:9; Jude 1:12 , 16, 19). These look and search for things and areas to satisfy their lust and greed. They embraced religion where they hope to gain material possession, wealth, fame and power. They are similar to those of Point Number 2 above in deceptiveness of heart (i.e. intents), but with a slightly different agenda. These are self serving, continually lusting for gain and glory. Together with these are perverts and the carnally driven. These look at everything from the perspective of pandering to the carnal and fleshly desires and passions and they interpret everything according to these lust fueled drives. I call these the ‘gluttonous perverts’.
Now if you happen to fall into and identify with one or more of the above category or categories I have named above, you will most probably be seriously offended, and most would wish harm upon me even as many would love to have been able to harm me themselves. But if you are truly sincere in your quest for the Truth and in your search to know and understand the CREATOR GOD, the GOD who ‘indirectly’ authored the Scripture of Truth, you will have to grant that I am right and speaking the Truth, unless of course you choose to twist my words just like the disciples of the Christmas religion have been twisting that of the Christian Holy Scriptures.
Knowledge is empowerment (Genesis 3:17). I have given you the knowledge empowerment of the Truth, how you will proceed is up to you, but know for a certainty that GOD will bring all creature personages into judgment at the time HE had appointed to bring all into Judgment (Hebrew 9:27; Ecclesiastes 11:9; 2 Peter 3:7; Jude 1:6; Revelation 20:11 – 13).
As I have said before, nobody gets away with anything (Revelation 22:10 – 12, 14, 15; Matthew 12:41 – 42).
GOD is righteous, just and infinitely wise, HE will justly deal with every wicked deed and every infringing word and every act of deception and abuse of power committed by every man and woman who have ever lived since the Garden of Eden (Revelation 20:13; Luke 12:48; Matthew 12:36). There will be great weeping and gnashing of teeth (Luke 13:24 – 28) on that great day of GOD’s judgment (Revelation 21:7 – 8) when GOD will resurrect every human being made in the image and likeness of GOD who had ever lived for their just punishment (Revelation 22:11; 15).

Prophecies are about events that will happen in a time future to the time they were revealed. A telling (i.e. disclosure) of an event before it happen, to foretell an event before it occurs. That is the concept of the word.
With Bible prophecies, most of the time until the event happens or comes to pass, there is a measure of difficulty to envisage it clearly in terms of both the time and the unfolding (occurring).
For example the prophecies on CHRIST First Advent were not completely understood that it would be followed by a Second Advent in a distant (from our perspective) future. The Scriptures had intended that it be hidden until it was revealed during HIS First Advent by JESUS HIMSELF.
After HIS resurrection, JESUS appeared to HIS disciples and explained these prophecies to HIS Apostles and disciples before ascending to Heaven. So to us reading these same prophecies today, it is clear there was a First Advent to pay the penalty of man’s sin, redeeming man from the death penalty for sins all have committed in their ‘first’ lifetime (Hebrews 9:27). And that JESUS will come a second time for judgment of the generation at the Time of the End and to rule with HIS Saints (and Brethren) over the nations for a thousand years (Revelation 20:4). But through the centuries past, after the Apostolic era, the Great Harlot church directed by Satan the Devil worked to hide this, twisting the account of this Second Advent so that it became a message of ‘going to heaven’ for her disciples and to a hell of eternal torment for the rest of mankind when their lives meet its eventual end.
In as much as the message of the Christian Bible is about the Mystery of the Kingdom of GOD, so also the prophecies of the Christian Bible are framed around this message. Many prophecies are intricately linked to the message of the Mystery of the Kingdom. These being the various aspects and perspective of this great overview message, this one central concept of the message of the Christian Bible.
The Concept Of Summary. [sum]
A summary, as any intelligent person with even minimal formal education would understand, is a putting into very few words in a concise manner any type of communication whether formal or informal. And as I have also stated, if you think this author can be believed, the entire record of the Christian Holy Scriptures what it is about, can even be summarized into just one single word — relationship. Fact is almost every single account of events recorded in the Christian Holy Scriptures were summaries (except for the Book of Job which contain complete accounts of the dialog of Job and his three plus one friends as well as GOD's reply to Job, and also various other dialog verses and passages) with some more concise than others. Some were so concise that all the details were left out leaving only the most basic truth or fact. The very first example in the Old Testament records would be Genesis chapter 1 verse 1 (which some ego supergorging members of the Christmas religions had proclaimed that it was just and only (meaning it contain no other information except it was just something GOD said) a declarative statement because they being the supremely supreme proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives proclaimed and acclaimed that it was so), while in that of the New Testament that would be John chapter 1 verse 1. These two verses basically compressed the events that had spanned billions of years, and before timeless time, each into just one statement respectively.
But for some strange reason when it comes to the Christian Holy Scriptures all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the human social order ever since, all totally lost their super mega brilliant intelligence and freaking minds to deliberately not understand very simple things such as the two greatest commandments that they are the concise two main points summary of the Ten Commandments. Similarly the Ten Commandments are the ten points summary of all the Royal Laws and Holy Commandments of GOD. And the entirety of the Royal Laws and Holy Commandments of GOD are based on, have their basis, their fundamental principle on a sincere selfless love (as opposed to the flaky and fake “love” seeded by lust and self expediency) that seek only for common good and common well being of all.
But not just only deliberately refusing to understand simple concepts such as ‘summary’, ‘based on and basis’, ‘foundation principles’ and ‘base line’, what these are; all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the human social order ever since, also refused to understand most of the very simple concepts communicated by the Christian Holy Scriptures, concepts such as: language and communication; omnipotent, omniscience and omnipresence; covenants and their requirement; governing principles and governing requirements (enforcement authority, statutes and laws, legitimate and legal, unlawful and illegal); fairness, justice and injustice; crime, sin and transgression; repentance and forgiveness, good and evil, right and wrong; honor and respect, appropriate and inappropriate conduct and behavior; trust and relationship; motivations and intentions; love and lust; valid and invalid; confirmation, verification and nullification; consistency and contradiction; maturity and chronological age; social order, peace and harmony; conducive, disruptive and destructive; predation and parasitism; responsibility and abuse; health and diseased; etc. and etc.

I could write an entire large volume book of just the summary accounts recorded in the Christian Holy Scriptures which all these proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives had and still are deliberating refusing to understand. This they do by purposefully losing their freaking minds in ego supergorging so they can twist and spin all manner of ridiculous lies, inventing pointless emotional platitudes to turn the simple basic principle message points of the Christian Holy Scriptures into incoherent incomprehensible contradictions.
This they do so that anyone looking to them, to learn about the CREATOR, would never ever be able to fully understand the message of the Gospel that the LORD JESUS CHRIST proclaimed which if they had understood, those who would truly love GOD, will really believe GOD to turn from their lives' pursuits and conducts which have made them all complicit to the sowing and perpetuating of evil when willingly or willfully they have chosen to do evil whenever it becomes expedient andor necessary for them to get what they seek for and seek after.
A Simple And Uncomplicated Message [simmsg]
We will divert here to discuss a little bit about the message of the Christian Bible. I have heard (and read) many views about what religious expert believe the Christian Bible is all about. Most if not all of these say you can't sum up the whole message of the Christian Bible in a sentence much less in a single word. Now I know they are wrong and if you will follow this message here, at the end of it, if you have a truly open mind (as opposed to a closed one restricted, constrained and framed by biases, preconceived ideas, lust and greed), you will see that I am speaking the truth. I am speaking about the single concept that summed up the totality of what the message the Christian Bible is about.
Some have said the Christian Bible message is about salvation and redemption, of GOD trying to save mankind “fallen from grace” in the Garden of Eden, from eternal hell fire.
Others still said that it is about the government of GOD, or the family of GOD — that GOD is creating HIS HOLY DIVINE PERFECT FAMILY. The Apostle Paul in his epistles called it the Mystery of GOD and a great mystery, even as in reality the message of the Gospel especially today (in 2010 C.E.) is no real mystery at all except to those who refused to believe. JESUS CHRIST when HE was a SON of man started HIS ministry preaching the Gospel (or good news) of the Kingdom of GOD.
It is true to a certain extend that the Christian Bible message is about most of these. But these are just the various perspectives to the various limited contexts to the full and overview message of the Christian Bible. The central or overview message concept is about relationship. Not the scientific notion of relationship such as commensalistic, mutualistic or parasitic. Those are just other notions or concepts of relationship or rather interspecies ecosystem relationships.
The relationship that Christian Bible deals with is interpersonal relationship between personages sharing a common family bond and intelligence empowered minds and hearts. These are such as that one member of mankind can have with another. Yes, the relationship between GOD and man, father and son, husband and wife, parents and children, between siblings, between friends and neighbors. That in essence is what the Ten Commandments have been all about.
These (the Ten Commandments) are not the law or legislature for a city or a guild or a business. It is laws regulating interpersonal relationship, laws framed by and based on sincere, genuine, caring, nurturing, mutual Love. It is a commandment of love, ‘You shall love the LORD your GOD with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul and all your strength [commandments 1 to 5] and your neighbor as yourself’ [commandments 5 to 10].
That was why when GOD brought the first man and woman into existence, HE created them in HIS image, male and female, as self aware intelligent minds that have the freewill capability to choose to have a full meaningful intelligent reasoning and love bonded relationship with GOD, with a potential for so much more than just that very first basis of man–GOD (i.e. creature–CREATOR) relationship.
That was also why the very first test for Adam and Eve was the faith test. Whether they would trust GOD and believe HIM, or to distrust and be suspicious of GOD to completely trust and believe a total stranger who sounded convincing for no other reason than because they lusted after what he said they would be able to get if they believed him. And isn't that exactly whatever every evil doer has promised ever since, the worst of these being all these evil proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of evil anti GOD religions.
And hasn't that been the very reason every subscriber and believer of every totally ridiculous system of beliefs, subscribed to these religions and system of beliefs for no other reason than because these beliefs serve to tempt them with the lie that they will get all that they lusted after andor to pacify their lust driven insanity based phobias if they would just fall down and worship (i.e. to totally believe in and obey) these proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of these religions andor system of beliefs as whatever these proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives claimed themselves to be.
It was the same when GOD freed the ancient Israelite from bondage in Egypt. HE tested them with HIS Sabbath to proof them if they would have the faith to completely trust and obey HIM.
Faith (i.e. complete trust and also trustworthiness) is an essential ingredient for a relationship of ‘equals’ to work without ending in conflict and ultimately violence. Without faith (or complete trust) in one another it is impossible for two (or more) personages to have a perfect love based relationship and bond.
It is just that simple.
