Our best evidence from our biblical scholars reveals that the REAL Gospel (message) of this Jew from Nazareth (Yeshua) was to promote his Father's Kingdom (the Kingdom of Yahweh God). You can read this reality in the writing of Mark's Gospel (our best evidence of who this Jew from Nazareth was during his lifetime). After Mark's Gospel both Matthew and Luke embellished this writing with questionable ideas.
After Yeshua became an adult person he chose to get baptised by his cousin John in the Jordan River. This occurred some time around 29 A.D. Yeshua was probably around 33 years of age at this point and his mindset was that of a dedicated Jew who desired his God (Yahweh) to rule over his people (the Israelites). He must have desired to grow spiritually and his baptism experience started this growth.
After his baptism in the Jordan River, Yeshua/Jesus had an Epiphany as his God (Yahweh/Father) revealed to him his role going forward. He was to be a messenger/servant of God (the God of Israel). Immediately after this baptism experience Yeshua went out into the desert to develop his spirituality and to experience his tempting by the God of this planet, Satan. Yes, Satan, was/is the God of this planet and his rule continues until it is removed by Yahweh God. Yeshua recognized this reality during this time of temptation.
Yeshua thought that his God (YHWH) would bring him his goal of making Yahweh the recognized God for all of Israel. Yeshua recognized that the Roman government (currently in power) was anathema to the real government which comes from the God of Israel. Unfortunately (his Gospel message), was not meant to be as Yeshua's God (Yahweh) had other plans for the world society and for his people the Jews and Israelites.
In a matter of months (maybe as long as three years) Yeshua preached his message of the Kingdom of God to his followers (and those who would listen). He chose some 72 disciples to bring this message to the people. All was working to some degree when (suddenly) it all ENDED in Jerusalem...as the hierarchy within the Sanhedrin and the leaders of Rome decided that his message was a form of sedition against the ruling authorities and their secular control system.
The Sanhedrin and the Temple worship was anathema to the real Gospel of Yeshua who desired that Yahweh God rule the system (not the apostate religious system of the Sanhedrin and those within the Temple of Yahweh who desired absolute control over the people via rules, doctrines, religious polices ). Yeshua's message (of religious freedom) did not resonate with the authorities and this led to his arrest and eventually death at Golgotha.
After this death of Yeshua (around 33 A.D.), amazing events started to happen. This Jew from Tarsus (Saul) started to conspire with his Sanhedrin authorities to arrest and persecute those who desired to follow the prior message of Yeshua. These authorities viewed Yeshua's message as a form of blasphemy as they thought that Yeshua and his followers wanted the man Yeshua to be King and God of the Israelites (all Jews).
The idea that Yeshua was God in the flesh (equal with the Father) was viewed as blasphemy and also a form of idolatry. The ONLY God for the Jews and Israelites was the God of Moses (Yahweh Father)...not a man from Nazareth who desired his beliefs to replace the historical beliefs of Judaism. The Temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem was evidence that the God of Israel was Yahweh and not any flesh/blood descendant (a man).
But after a few years of amazing events among the followers of Yeshua (after his death) all changed (gradually). Followers (strong believers) had experienced (in their consciousness) the images of Yeshua being glorified and ascending to his God (the Father). What did this MEAN? Did the historical Yeshua become a god/God who was now worthy of worship? Everything changed (gradually) with the emergence of Paul (the prior Saul of Tarsus) and his vision experience (which happen some three/four years after Yeshua's death).
Saul the persecutor became Paul the Evangelist who now had a VISION (dream) of what all this meant. Paul's vision experience was meant to CHANGE Yeshua's Gospel message into a religion which could SAVE the world. The religion emerged (gradually) as the orthodox Christian religion. The ministry of the historical Yeshua (who desired the Kingdom of his God) for all Israel was changed into a NEW belief system...Salvation from sin via the death of Yeshua on the tree!
Yeshua was actually meant to die (was Paul's belief) so that his death could serve as REDEMPTION for believers (sin was the issue). Yes, Yeshua was now the Lamb of God and also the High Priest (next to the Father...Yahweh) in heaven who could act as a type of Deity for his believers so that Salvation from SIN could happen. It all emerged (gradually) from the ministry of this NEW messiah person (Paul of Tarsus). His writings became Gospel for this New Religion called Roman Christianity!
The MYSTERY religion of Christianity emerged (gradually) over the years and the letters and writings of Paul of Tarsus were core (key) to this New Religion of Christianity. Gradually, four additional Gospels were written by Greek thinkers (theologians) who wrote their theology in the 'name' of persons who were viewed as Eye Witnesses of Yeshua (Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John).
Yes, the four Gospels were not actually written by Eye Witnesses of Yeshua (as promoted by the Catholic church) but were actually written by Greek speaking thinkers (many years AFTER Yeshua's death) who desired to promote a New Religion for the New Believers in the historical Yeshua/Jesus. Gradually, a New Religion emerged (under Constantine's rule) and then this Catholic hierarchy (with their Popes) emerged thereafter. All happened gradually and with conviction of this hierarchy called Roman Christianity.
Yes, the Mystery Religion of Christianity (which none can discern completely) emerged over the years to rule over mankind's thinking (mind). The New Israel was promoted (as the destruction of Yahweh's Temple) in Jerusalem was viewed as the END of historical Judaism. The year of 70 A.D. was the supposed END of traditional Judaism and the emergence of a NEW belief system centered on this Jew from Nazareth who emerged after the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. as Deity and God!
The DEAD Yeshua/Jesus was now EXALTED into a God and Deity. He was made EQUAL with the historical God of Judaism (Yahweh/Father). He was called God the Son and his spirit was viewed as eternal from the beginning of time. He was God...the 2nd person of a Trinity. All this emerged after the Council of Nicaea which then promoted Yeshua to the status of Deity for everyone to worship. Gradually, a Catholic hierarchy emerged to bring these ideas to the people (via written scripture).
Amazing events happened AFTER the death of this historical Jew from Nazareth...who FEW knew and understood. Over time written Gospels emerged. Epistles of Paul emerged. And the religion called Christianity emerged for everyone to accept and view as a form of Salvation from human SIN. The Kingdom of religion (Christianity) had emerged as the final theology for mankind and for planet Earth. Amazing!
Today, we live some 2,000 years AFTER all these events of history. Scholars are now recognizing that MUCH of what has emerged is bogus theology (built on spiritual deceptions). Paul of Tarsus is viewed (by many scholars) as a false evangelist. His ideas are viewed as unrepresentative of the ideas of the historical Yeshua (who desired the Kingdom of his Father). Yeshua never viewed himself as God (Deity) but he desired his followers to view the Father as GREATER than he and GREATER than everyone.
The real message of the historical Yeshua was a message of servant-hood (to mankind) under the God of Israel as the ultimate AUTHORITY (who was also the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob) as well as the God of Moses and Jesus/Yeshua. The 2,000 years of historical Christianity is now coming to a sudden END. The Church Age is ending. The End-times have emerged with the book of Revelation as core scripture. A New Messiah is being promoted by apostate Christianity (it's called the 2nd Coming).
What is now envisioned by preachers of historical Christianity is an End-time tribulation with salvation of select believers via a Rapture. Yes, all the harden believers of Christianity will ESCAPE the coming wrath of the REAL GOD (Yahweh/Father) via a Rapture into the clouds above. After this sudden Rapture (escape) into the heavens above, these select believers will live for seven years (in heaven) while unsaved mankind will suffer and die via a horrible TRIBULATION period.
Amazing theology of this Mystery Religion called Evangelical Christianity. Paul of Tarsus is quoted as the authority for this Rapture experience (soon to occur). Turn on your Google TV to listen to all the guru's preaching this end-time message for the SELECT believers of Christianity. It's all Amazing and totally based on illusion and a mystery of imaginary doctrines and scriptural text. That is my view of all this Mystery. I was once a select believer in this Mystery religion. Thank God, I am now OUT!
Have a good day and think on these ideas as you do your own research. I am: donaldswenson.blogspot.com. Also, http://kingdomecon.wordpress.com.
