Who is the real Jesus?

Know Jesus?

Who is the real Jesus?

Did He die for your sins?

We are told in the Gospel of John[1] that God sent His son that we might be saved.

Jesus told us many things that we might be saved.[2]

The word "MIGHT"[3] suggests that Jesus did what he came to do but some might not be saved simply because they say they love Jesus as their Lord.[4]

People who are not doers of the word may not be believers in the real Jesus.

Jesus makes it clear that "many" will think they love Him but have been deceived into believing in a false image of Jesus. These self deceived people will be told that they should get away from Him because he never knew them except as workers of iniquity.

How do we know that we are not one of those "many"?[5]

People might be deceived because of unrighteous practices and lack of love for the truth.[6]

He also told us that if we did not forgive then His Father would not forgive us.[7]

So it is not automatic that we are forgiven nor saved.

Jesus also told us to seek the Righteousness of God and that many would think they came in His name but would be told to get away from Him because they were in fact Workers of Iniquity and not Doers of the Word. Like the Pharisees before them they will be under the delusion that they have their eyes on Jesus but in truth they do not even know him. We know this because they are not bearing Fruit worthy of those who truly repent.

The modern Christian is often not doing what Christ told us to be doing. They are doing the very things that Christ condemned the Pharisees for doing.

  • He said their Corban made the word of God to none effect.
  • He told them to call no man father upon the earth.
  • He told them to attend to the Weightier matters.

Yet, most Modern Christians cannot even tell you what Corban is nor how it causes the word of God to be of no effect.

They cannot tell you who the Fathers of the earth were or are.

Neither do they know nor can tell you of Christ's checklist as to what the Weightier matters were and are.

Many of our Modern Christians not only do not have their eyes on the real Jesus, they actually do not want to even hear what He said nor keep His commandments even though He said that is the way to Eternal life.

These Modern Christians often pray to the Fathers of the earth and seek the benefits of the Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other. This is directly contrary to the Doctrines of Jesus.

What they are doing is keeping their eyes on a constructed Jesus built in their minds by false teachers. This of course is Idolatry.

To see if people really have fruits worthy of Repentance we may ask:

People followed Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus. The altars of clay and stone was a way to create the social bonds of free people. The levites led the Israelites. And the early Church followed Christ and His Way, which was The Way, and advocated a Daily ministration that was dependent on Pure Religion through Fervent charity only. This was the Corban of Christ which was not like the system of Corban of the Pharisees nor of Rome or the systems of FDR and LBJ.
The church lost "the way" when it abandoned the practice of "pure Religion" while claiming to be the Church established by Christ. The people developed an appetite for the "wages of unrighteousness" from "public religion" in the days of Constantine. Those new Christians that often failed to fully repent degenerated the moral character of society with the masses of "instant christians".
That new religion of the emperor introduced a new faith with his apostate church replacing the doctrine of Jesus with the "doctrines of men", the Holy Spirit with emotion, the truth with the speaking of "great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage."[8]
They had a form of godliness but denied the power thereof.

Where is your religion

  • Do you only gather for the comfort it gives you, or do you gather to benefit others?
  • Christ came to serve, not be served. Do you desire to be served, or are you coming in His name and according to His character to serve others?

If we desire His Grace but we only love those who love us, then there is no Grace because it is clear we do not really believe in Him.

If we do not Repent of our Covetous Practices and are not diligently gathering together in Free Assemblies of Love for all to provide for one another in Charity according to the Perfect law of liberty then we have nothing according to Paul. According to Luke 6:32 if we only love those who love us there is no "Grace". Christ also said if you do not Forgive neither will the Father forgive you.[9]

It is not enough to hate the deeds of the workers of iniquity, but we must return to Thy first love and thy first work. To break the yoke, we need to return to the ways of righteousness spoken of in Isaiah 58 which are the ways of Christ and the early Church. And His yoke is light for it is carried by our love of one another.

Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Christ all created Networks of charity to care for the true needy of society without force which is how they were able to help set people free. Do you gather with His Church to attend to the Weightier matters as Christ said?

  • Are you gathering in a Network of righteousness?
  • Do you come to love others or just be loved?

Early Christians found themselves in conflict with these systems of social welfare because they made the word of God to none effect. Christians had repented of their covetous nature when they received the Baptism of Christ. They heard and became Doers of the word not hearers only.

Remember Proverbs 12:24, "The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the Slothful shall be under Tribute."

We know that liberty under God is not for the covetous who are Biting one another but it is also not for the slothful. If we are not congregating together in free assemblies bound together in a broad network by faith, hope, and charity alone according to the perfect law of liberty then we are not truly seeking the Kingdom of God nor His righteousness.

Are the Modern Christians being like the Pharisees before them and failing to attend to those same Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.

The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.

The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.

The modern Christians are in need of repentance.

"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.

Family Challenge

There are a few quotes in Mark 3:30-35 that some interpret as a rift between Jesus and his family.

According to the Talmud, Joseph of Arimathea[11] was the younger brother of Joachim the father of Mary and therefore Jesus' Great uncle.[12] Joseph was one of His disciples.[13] And as one of the richest men in the Roman Empire, he supported the ministry of Christ. He was bold in his support of Jesus. [14] And he believed the kingdom at hand message.[15]

Jesus' cousin was John the Baptist. There is no sign of rejection of Jesus by John in the Bible although he did not know he was the Messiah until he was already in prison. [16]

James was his brother and never gave any sign of rejecting Jesus. He served in Jerusalem, suffering death at the hands of the murderous Pharisees. He was doing his job as minister of the Kingdom of God on earth.

Joses, Simon, and Jude who were also his brothers "according to the flesh"[17] accepted Jesus and worked diligently for the early Church in those days providing guidance through a daily ministration rightly dividing bread from house to house[18] while others who did not follow The Way continued to eat of the Corban of the Pharisees and the free bread of Rome.

Jesus' mother never "rejected" him, but she feared his going to Jerusalem.

The problem with these interpretations of Mark is because people do not understand what the Church was doing and how it was organized. The Church was an appointed Kingdom of God or government of God on earth. It was not like other governments of the world who exercised authority one over the other.

It was a voluntary government that functioned by way of the perfect law of liberty through the exercise of real faith, together with the hope of salvation through the charity living in the hearts and minds of other Christians in a broad community network of fellowship.

There were many requirements laid on those who would become his student ministers or disciples. These same restrictions had been laid upon the Levites centuries before, although many did not understand those requirements because of the teachings and sophistry of the Pharisees. His disciples could not own property in their own name, and they would have to give up what they already owned. Like the Levites who could not be a part of the walled camp and were called out as the Church in the Wilderness, if Jesus' disciples — who were called out of the world — were not willing to leave their family, they could not be one of His disciples.[19]

Of course, Jesus was not talking about abandoning our responsibilities to our young children or aging parents, but he encouraged prioritizing the commitment to be ministers of His Church. The commitment to be the ministers of His appointed kingdom included the responsibility of a daily ministration for believers who shared his Eucharist and communion in the network of the early Church all over the Roman Empire.

Christians did not eat at the table of kings or the Imperial Cult of Rome. They did not apply for the Corban of the Pharisees nor of Rome nor of any government that exercises authority one over the other like Modern Christians do. Early Christians knew that what those governments offered as welfare was actually a snare. To covet their benefits would entangle them again in the yoke of bondage and the elements of the world.

King of the Jews

Why Doesn't Judaism Accept the Christian Messiah?

There are at least four common reasons that Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah besides the obvious reason which the Pharisees displayed.

1. Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28).

The temple was never to be built of dead stone. It was meant to be in you, in your heart and in your mind, in the midst of you.[20]The temple was to be built of "living stones".

2. Gather all Jews back to Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6).

It was to usher in a gathering of the faithful Jews to Israel which is simply the "place where God prevails". The apostles were faithful Jews ad most of the people who were willing to get the Baptism Of Jesus at Pentecost were also Jews. Many of the people who were a part of the lost tribes of Israel also followers of Jesus as the Christ/Messiah. The "seed" would be all the descendants of faith of Abraham who had eyes to see and ears to hear. They will have the character of Christ written in their hearts by God and willing to do those things taught by Jesus and Moses.[21] There was an in gathering in a network of Tens which was commanded by Christ that reached beyond the Roman Empire.

3. An era of peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering, and disease. This Nation appointed by the Messiah would be one of peace. (Isaiah 2:4)[22]

Early Christians were a nation of people dedicated to peace. They not only did not covet their neighbor's goods like the Corban of the Pharisees and Rome but they did not raise up arms against those who opposed them. And those who actively persecuted them continued to decline and fall while Christian communities thrived. Eventually, a false Christianity would rise up, persecute Jews and Christians, make war, return to covetous practices and become entangled in the elements of the world and a yoke of bondage.

The knowledge of God and The Way reached all over the world by that network but many reject that knowledge because they do not have eyes to see nor ears to hear.

4. "God will be King over all the world... His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9). While the Jews that opposed Jesus as the Messiah claimed they had no King but Caesar, the Jews who accepted Christ said there is another King, one Jesus.[23] Tyrants fell and Christians prospered. If people would repent the power of the world would again diminish and liberty under God would prevail in the world again.


Some will add to this that there needed to be a resurrection of the dead. Of course, there was a resurrection of the dead both spiritually and physically.[24]

Those who became followers of Christ and did what he commanded were literally the new Jews or citizens of Judea. The ministers of His Kingdom worked daily in the temple rightly dividing the bread from house to house. Those who rejected Jesus as the King called themselves Jews but they were not.[25]

"Bishops, presbyters(Elder) and deacons occupy in the church the same positions as those which were occupied by Aaron, his sons, and the Levites in the temple." Jerome, Ep. 146. Both the Levites and the early Church appointed by Christ were "called out" to be a peculiar people who were to serve those who would repent and seek the ways of God.


Nailed to his cross

What was Nailed to his cross? It was the official proclamation of Caesar through Pontius Pilate saying This is the King of the Jews. It was the handwriting of ordinances by the rulers of men and the "gods many" that Paul warned us about that were of the world. Christ did not do away with the law of God. That proclamation nailed to his cross confirmed His kingdom of God was at hand for He was the rightful king of the Jews and all who repented and received his baptism unto righteousness. Those who would repent and seek it and the righteousness of The Way of God through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, which is Christ. If we truly believe through faith unto righteousness and confess abiding in His love we would be doers of His word and "keep his commandments".

"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" (Colossians 2:14)

What does Paul mean by this verse?

Paul had been writing the "the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse:"[26] because they had heard of their faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which they had to all the saints, [27]

According to Paul the gospel had been preached in all the world,[28] and faithful servants were ministering to the people.[29] It was for this cause that he hoped they had both understanding[30] and good works.[31] But also talked about them all having been delivered from the darkness and already translated into the kingdom of Jesus Christ.[32]

When he told them they had been translated[33] into the kingdom he was talking about having been removed from the kingdom of darkness.[34]

We see the phrase "power of darkness," in the gospel [35] where Luke talked about the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, [36] who were the government official and the police who came out against Christ and his followers to bring them before the Sanhedrin which was the congress of the day. This was an arrest by government to bring him before that tribunal, that power of darkness and impeach him as an usurper of the throne of Judea.

We see the same metaphor in Acts 26:18 [37] about turning eyes from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan who is the adversary of God. This seems required that God's way be sought to receive forgiveness and inherit through the sanctification by faith.

And again in Ephesians 6:12 we see the metaphor one more time speaking of rulers and powers of darkness.[38]

Paul goes on and talks about the blood of Jesus Christ redeeming them with his own blood. [39] He goes on to say that Jesus was the first born of every creature.[40] The word "creature" is the word for "the act of founding, establishing"[41] It came from a word meaning create or make habitable for a people.[42]

Paul also talks about Christ as the head of the body or corpus of His appointed Church which like the Church in the Wilderness served the people in congregations.[43]

Christ had called new men to come out and serve the kingdom. To be doers of the word and he said he would take the kingdom from them that had it and give to them whom would bear fruit.[44] He would appoint that kingdom to His little flock.[45]

And he did just that with the words of their own mouth.[46] He would then appoint the kingdom to these new called out ministers[47] This new called out body would be the servant government of those congregations of the people who would repent from the alienation of their minds from the ways of God.[48]

What were these wicked works?

The Corban of the pharisees that made the word of God to none effect.

Again Paul speaks of the gospel of the kingdom having been preached to every creature or "institution" and advises that we be not moved away from His gospel.[49]

Paul preached Christ first. It was His Gospel which told us what we must do to obtain Eternal life. Jesus said we must be Doers of the Word. And clearly it was Christ's ordinance that we Keep the Commandments[50]

So, "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances" had nothing to do with the ten laws written by God. It had to do with the heavy burdens placed on the people by law makers who exercised authority one over the other.[51]

Certainly we are saved by grace and not by works but how do we know we truly believe in Jesus except by our works. Is it the truth when we say we love Jesus? Can it be the truth if we are by policy not keeping His commandments?

The truth is most people are subject to more hand written ordinances today than they were at the time of Christ. This is because they have not repented of their sin of covetousness. They still want to rule over one another rather than love one another. They are still greedy for gain and fail to attend to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.

The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.

The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.

The modern Christians are in need of repentance.

"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.

When Jesus told his disciples "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple." the word hath meant their property.[53] Luke 14:33

Both the early Church ministers appointed by the Christ and the Levites owned property but they held it in common[54] as join heirs[55] because the ordained ministers of the Church or "called out" and the "called out" of Moses were to belong to God and serve the people who depended on charity rather than force to provide the welfare or Pure Religion of God.
The Legal definition of the Church was also a group of people called out to serve with "corporate elements". They were the corpus of Christ, appointed by Him, for His purposes, and in one accord. That body of ministers holding all things in common were called out and gathered to serve the society in Free Assemblies.


Rome steadily declined in a well populated Europe and Asia. There were may attempts to raise up new Nimrods and Babylon... But many people lived in Peace with no real threat of world domination. After a thousand years, the adversary was unchained. Now the whole world is back in bondage, numbered and serve governments that abort children by the millions to the chagrin of modern Moleck.

Most Modern Christians and Jews violate the Ten Commandments regularly as a matter of policy both their covetous practices and systems of Corban. This and their lack of Pure Religion is why they have returned to the bondage of Egypt. They have coveted the wages of unrighteousness provided by the gods of the world who the covenant with to get benefits at the expense of their neighbor.
