Inerrant Lie #17

Another lie from "God's ineffable, inerrant word":

The writer of Hebrews, in euphemizing the cold- blooded murder of Jesus of Nazareth, states: "For it became [God], for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation [Jesus] perfect through sufferings [Hebrews 2:10]." This is perhaps the ”strong delusion” referred to by the apostle “Paul” (Saul of Tarsus) in the second chapter of his second epistle to the Thessalonians.

Consider this: John 1:1 - 14 states unequivocally that Jesus of Nazareth is “the Word of God.” How could the Word of God ever be imperfect? and why would cursing His own Word perfect either Him, His Word, or His word?

Moses wrote, "for he that is hanged [on a cross, in this case] is accursed of God [Deuteronomy 21:23c]," which “Paul” cites, in his epistle to the Galatians (3:13) as proof that the law and “Christ [Jesus]” are both curses from the same “God.” Why would he who "magnified [His] word above all [His] name" (Psalms 138:2c) need to curse His Word (His “only begotten son”) to perfect that which He who is, presumably, perfect had already esteemed at least as perfect as Himself– if He were perfect?

The truth is, we don't have to look any further than the book of Hebrews, itself, to find the fallacy of Hebrews 2:10. In Hebrews 13:8, the writer of Hebrews definitively opposes his own declaration of 2:10, when he writes, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever." For this to be true, in light of 2:10, Jesus of Nazareth would necessarily be eternally- perfected- by- suffering- eternally: like the devils in the lake of fire (which, of course, would render all prevalent wisdom in respect of the entire canon of [Holy Bible] scripture naught- but- delusion); otherwise, Jesus' “perfection” is not bound in any way to temporal qualification, and Hebrews 2:10 is a lie.

Ironically, Jesus- in- the- lake- of- fire- forever isn't as far- fetched an idea as that which prevailing theological wisdom would make of it. Revelation 14 seems to indicate Jesus (referred to as, “the Lamb of God” by his worshippers); his followers; and all their “holy angels” are present in eternal, “fire and brimstone” torment.

“Saint John, the Divine” wrote: “9 And the third angel [of seven] followed [the two preceding] saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name [Revelation 14:9 - 11].” Inasmuch as lambs are beasts, doesn't the above seem to indicate “the Lamb” is “the beast”; or “his image”; or “the mark of his name?” Don't Christians “do all in [the mark or sign of] Jesus' precious name?”

If “the Lamb” isn't “the [accursed] beast” or “his [accursed] image” or “the [accursed] mark of his name”: why is “the Lamb” present in eternal torment of fire and brimstone? Why are “the holy angels” there? Verse 9 of Revelation 14 says the eternal torment “the Lamb” and “the holy angels” are present in (in verse 10) are reserved for the accursed beast and his accursed image and all who worship them and receive “the [accursed] mark of his name”; and this is underscored and punctuated by the text of verse 11.

In Revelation 13, “the beast,” “his image,” and “the mark of his name” are illucidated as the basic tenets of a global government; economy; and religion: all- in- one. The defining characteristics of said church- of- the- beast are worship of the beast’s image and acceptance of “the mark of his name.”

Inasmuch as Jesus of Nazareth purportedly said, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do [Matthew 23:2 & 3(a & b)]”: the “token upon [the] hand, and… frontlets between [the] eyes [Exodus 13:16, et. al.]” synonymous with Moses' law could be “the mark of the beast” written of by Johnny Divine in Revelation; and the Spirt- seal written of by “Paul” in his epistle to the Ephesians (1:13). Jesus and his global church answer to “the beast” and his global church in several other particulars.

Revelation 13 says, essentially, the global church of the beast thinks they're the only ones who got religion right: all others “should be killed [v. 15]” for getting it wrong. This is precisely the esteem with which Jews and Christians alike regard themselves. God will kill all others (whether they worship anyone or anything else; or they worship not) in eternal torment of fire and brimstone, they say.

Like the church of the beast, Jesus' global church believes in worship of an image which speaks (Revelation 13:15): the “Word of God”. They worship Jesus, “Who [is] the brightness of [“God's”] glory, and the express image of [“God's”] person [Hebrews 1:3(a & b)],” and speaks “God's” words to them.

According to Christians, Jesus' death on the cross is “[(just)] cause that as many as would not worship [Jesus Christ] should be killed [Revelation 13:15c].” As proof of this life- and- death authority (allegedly vested in the worship of Jesus of Nazareth), the global church of Jesus (as the church of the beast, in Revelation 13) cites his (and the prophets’) miracles (13:14); which makes one narrative of two, inasmuch as the signs attributed to the beast, the image of the beast, and the first beast of Revelation 13 are already fulfilled in the lives and ministries of Jesus and the prophets– before Revelation 13 was written by Johnny Divine.

If Jesus is the image of the beast written of in Revelation, Hebrews 2:10 and 13:8 could both be true, subsequent to 2 Thessalonians 2:11 & 12; but that would change the meaning of “salvation” in Hebrews 2:10 [“... the captain of their salvation…”] to perdition: through the “strong delusion” of 2 Thessalonians.

Since when is perdition salvation? Likewise and however: since when is murder atonement for sin; and not itself sin? Obviously, “the faith of Jesus Christ,” [“here,” in eternal torment of fire and brimstone (in Revelation 14:12)] is a “strong delusion” which runs contrary to the truth. As such, Hebrews 2:10 and 13:8 might be true- to- the- delusion, without being true.

“11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion [“JESUS”], that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness [such as murdering innocent victims (2 Thessalonians 2:11 & 12)].”
