THE NEW NEW TESTAMENT

Letter to the HEBREWS

 

chapter 10

vs. 1: The Jewish Law is not a full and faithful model of the real thing; it is only a faint outline of the good things to come. EQ.

In fact, it is a mess of random idiotic rules made by myopic and hateful fools. It could be worse but it would be unbearable. And with a little bit of common sense, it will get better. And not because we obey the laws of Paul but because we start throwing laws out and relinquishing our retarded religions. And political leaders will no longer talk of God. God in any name will be part of no constitution. Politics will become secular and sane and not a service to the giant corporations that are the new Lords of the old obey cult of servitude.

Vs. 4: For the blood of bulls and goats can never take away sins. EQ.

Even if sins were a real thing and not a fantasy concept this would be true. Sacrificing animals is brutal and pointless. It is silly ritual to give the silly priests an occupation. Apish madness.

vs. 12: Christ, however, offered one sacrifice for sins, and offering that is effective for ever, and then he sat down at the right-hand side of God. EQ.

Almost true. He nullified the Laws and relevance of the family Israel. Or to be a little more realistic, the New Testament has out written the old, even though the old is often more entertaining. But the idea is not bad. Someone comes along and says that everything said by maniac Moses is now null and void and like magic, the old curse is done.

Now someone comes along and says all religion is nonsense. We will now move on to being creatures of common sense. Mature and awake in the here and now.

Let the light of the real shine on in. The past was dark but now there is no more sin.

We are the beast angels. Stop teaching children to believe and they will show us how to be.

vs. 18: So when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed. EQ.

Now that’s nice. After the shit storm the light comes through. We have matured enough that we no long need to sacrifice animals or messiahs.

“So it was a good job we didn’t take a detour.”

“For certain. Hebrews is a rough model of our history. Madness until we drop our rituals and awaken to the real. And it is the same everywhere. When we let go of our various ancestor worship rituals we can come to the present. And with a little bit of luck, we will have enough time to repair the damage we have made while sleep walking through the metal tool and industrial age.”

vs. 25: Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing. Instead, let us encourage one another all the more, since you see that the Day of the Lord is coming nearer. EQ.

Well. I’m just going to agree. And point out that television and internet are not very good for meeting together. We need to be face to face. That is where the communication happens. As for the Lord. Stop waiting for Lords. The Lord game is called on account it is insane.

vs. 35: Do not lose your courage, then, because it brings with it great reward. 36. You need to be patient, in order to do the will of God and receive what he promises. EQ.

God is in you. Not up in the sky, not given by someone else. We are the gods and when we all get with it, we will be the guardians of paradise. For real. Life is paradise for life creatures. And we will take life with us to many other stars. And create a galaxy of paradise. Paradise is not a fantasy, it is a garden.

Keep it wild.


chapter 11

vs. 3: It is by faith that we understand that the universe was created by God’s word, so that what can be seen was made out of what cannot be seen. EQ.

“Was the word Fish.”

“The word was ignite.”

No. The universe was not made with a word. It was a burst of energy. The word, our language, is what is making us into the god’s. Backwards. Most everything is seen backwards.

And the story of Cain and Abel has more to do with our coming out of our animal ways of hunting and gathering to grazing and farming. God did not choose Cain over Abel. Grazing and farming simply gave us more time to do other things. Cain became Jacob. Abel became Esau. The story remains the same. The first son lost out to the second son.

We have taken it far too far. Spilt far too much blood. Made our selves a God in our image to justify our every action. Holy is everything we do.

Vs. 7: It was faith that made Noah hear God’s warnings about things in the future that he could not see. He obeyed God and built a boat in which he and his family were saved. As a result, the world was condemned, and Noah received from God the righteousness that comes by faith. EQ.

This is the faith chapter. And faith has no meaning. A mustard seed has no faith. It is what it is and from a seed comes a plant. Genetics.

As for Noah, he was a prick who cursed one of his sons and the curse has grown over the thousands of years and still plays out with the Israelites as they take over Palestine so that it is now Israel.

As for the flood story. It is a story. There have been many floods. The story of Noah may be in reference to the Mediterranean Sea as the land bridge between Europe and Africa broke and the Atlantic came rushing in to raise the sea level. No boat is big enough to hold all the animals of the world and it would take a few thousand years to find them all. There are still some we haven’t found. And like we have often enough mentioned in the hope that it will be driven home, the earth was not covered in water. Don’t attempt to make the Noah story work because it is not true. It is either completely fiction or wildly over written.

Vs. 11: It was faith that made Abraham able to become a father, even though he was too old and Sarah herself could not have children. EQ.

Faith has nothing to do with becoming a father. A man is never too old. And Abraham had a son already from Sarah’s handmaid. So he didn’t become a father. He already was. The reason Sarah didn’t have children earlier was because she was too young. And it was a Lord, the same that helped Abraham destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, with his army, that raped Sarah and made her have Isaac.

“How do you know.”

“I was there. I am alpha and omega.”

“Really.”

“No. And sort of. It is in the story when one learns to read the meaning. And understand the world now and then.”

vs. 18: God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that you will have the descendants I promised.” 19. Abraham reckoned that God was able to raise Isaac from death – and, so to speak, Abraham did receive Isaac back from death. EQ.

So to speak, Isaac was not Ab’s son. And it was Ab that wanted to kill him and burn him and smash his bones and burn him and throw his ashes to the wind. Ab knew his story of God was bullshit.

When the Lord came to Abraham, it may have been his conscience that reminded him that murdering Isaac was not a good thing. It may have also been the Lord who was the biological father.

“It might just be a crazy story.”

“That is the most likely answer to the question of what really happened.”

“You kill my son and I’ll rip your head off and ram it up your ass.”

“I wanna have my own son.”

“Too bad. You signed the contract and you have been paid in full now stop terrorizing the kid and burn a ram.”

vs. 28: It was faith that made him establish the Passover and order the blood... EQ.

No. Not faith. Vengeance. Moses was the inbred son and grandson of the Pharaoh. And he was insane and very violent. And he ordered the passover, the murdering of all fist born sons, the most vicious crime one can perform, not in faith but in vengeance. For, less we forget, the firstborn was often the son of the top tyrant. In this case the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh rejected his son Moses because the Pharaoh encouraged the family model. Raping your children doesn’t fit well to this model.

And for those too fucking lazy to read the Torah, Moses terrorized Egypt with the slaves he stole from his father-grandfather. All the animals were dead several times over. All the crops destroyed. Plagues. And at the end of it, the murder of all the firstborn, even the animals that were dead already and they took all the fine fabric, gold and silver. It was a bloody vicious war. Not the least holy.

“Fuck you, Father, Grandfather.”

That was the message of Moses that he made clear. Making a religion out of murder.

And the fucking Jews still celebrate this murder feast. And are proud to be the grand genocide race. Because it was written that anyone not a Jew was fair game to murder, plunder, rape and make slaves.

In case you missed that point. And I guess I can see now why Hebrews was written. It is a gentle reminder that Judaism is not only a big fucking lie. It is vile.

vs. 32: Should I go on? EQ.

“Paul, is that you.”

Vs. 35: Through faith women received their dead relatives raised back to life. EQ.

“That sounds much like reincarnation.”

“It does. I would question the meaning of faith but not the nature of evolution.”

“How about we equate faith to dream.”

vs. 35: ... Others, refusing to accept freedom, died under torture in order to be raised to a better life. 36. Some were mocked and whipped and others were put in chains and taken off to prison. 37. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed by the sword. They went round... EQ.

Jesus wept.


chapter 12

vs. 1: ... let us run with determination the race that lies before us. EQ.

vs. 3: ... So do not let yourselves become discouraged and give up. EQ.

vs. 8: If you are not punished, as all his sons are, it means you are not real sons, but bastards. EQ.

vs. 14: Try to be at peace with everyone, and try to live a holy life... EQ.

vs. 16: Let no one become immoral or unspiritual like Esau, who for a single meal sold his rights as the elder son. EQ.

Wait one fuckin’ minute.

No. Jacob was also a bastard jackass like Moses. He took, stole, his half brother Esau’s birthright.

“Half brother.”

“Have you not been understanding.”

“No. I’m a dumb Jew.”

Okay, for you dumb Jews and Christians and Moslems. Like his father before him. Isaac whored out his wife for goats, sheep and silver.

And Jacob was not his son. And he didn’t even like the whining little bitch. He loved Esau. His blood son and spiritual son.

“Really.”

“Yes, really. If we are to believe the fuckin’ story. Which I do not recommend.”

But to keep our feet on the earth, the story is telling a bigger story than the second son robbing his brother with lying and conniving. Esau, like Abel, like the Amerindians, was a pagan. Lover of life. A man of the wild. He had reverence for the earth and everything in it and above it.

Often pagan beliefs were a little superstitious but they were not above the rest of life. Jacob and Cain tell us of our step into complete monotheistic dictatorship madness. The ape removed itself from life and took ownership of it and made a tyrannical holy dictatorship to justify its bloody murderous raping and plundering. The system has become holy capitalism. And it has nearly killed the planet and enslaved almost all humans and very many animals.

And the vanguards of capitalism can shut the fuck up about money mattering more than earth, air and water. For it is a bald face lie.

vs. 20: ... “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.” EQ.

A word from the bird on the mountain. “Go fuck yourself, Moses.”

vs. 25: Be careful, then, and do not refuse to hear him who speaks. EQ.

“Is he talking about us.”

“Most likely.”

vs. 26: “I will once more shake not only the earth but heaven as well.” EQ.

vs. 28: Let us be thankful, then, because we receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. EQ.

The kingdom is at hand. And it is a kingdom of gods. Countless. And gold cannot buy it. Not the gold of the universe.
