Jesus and God Behaving Badly


The Bible is always depicted as the holiest book. However, there are two sides of reality behind the book. It tells us the good side of God and Jesus, and it also tells us the wild side of God and Jesus. However, since the glorious praises of these two main biblical characters can be found elsewhere, I will not discuss their good sides. Instead, I will just enumerate some of their attitudes toward behaving badly.

1) Jesus' temper and mind trip

1.1) Luke 9: 59-60: Jesus disrespects a father's death

The disciple here was asking Jesus if he could go to his house to pay respect for his father's death. But his Lord denied his request and answered back with a harsh reply: "Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God".

1.2) John 2: 1-5: Jesus disrespects his mother

1 On the third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." 4 And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come." 5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you".

1.3) Matthew 10: 33-34: Jesus hates peace

33 "But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven 34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword ".

1.4) Matthew 10: 35-37: Jesus teaches division in a family

35 "For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me".

1.5) Luke 2: 40-52: Jesus disrespects his parents

k 48 When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You." 49 And He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father's house?"


2) Satan didn't kill any single soul in the Bible, God killed millions and billions of innocent souls.

2.1) The Great Flood of Noah

(Estimated deaths: by the billions) 18 And the waters prevailed and were increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail, and the mountains were covered. 21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of the beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.

2.2) Tenth Plague: The Death of the First Born

(Estimated deaths: by the hundreds) 29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. 30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

Satan did not kill any single soul in the entire Bible, but with God's instruction, he harmed one person.


3) A conspiracy between Satan and God

3.1) Job 2: 6-7: Job's Second Trial

6 The Lord said to Satan, "Very well, he is in your power; only spare his life." 7 So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord, and inflicted Job with severe boils from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head".

Job was harmed by Satan through God's permission and instruction.

4) Punishment of Blasphemy

4.1) Lev 24:16: God said blasphemers must be stoned to death

16 One who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death; the whole congregation shall stone the blasphemer. Aliens as well as citizens, when they blaspheme the Name, shall be put to death.

4.2) Mat 12:31-32: God will not forgive forever who blaspheme the Holy Spirit

31 Therefore I tell you, people will be forgiven for every sin and blasphemy, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

4.3) Luke 12:10 You can blaspheme Jesus but not the Holy Ghost

10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

This verse also shows that the holy ghost is totally separated from Jesus. If we follow the thinking that there is only one God, then it is not Jesus or the Holy Ghost, but simply the Father in heaven. 

5) God approves of Slavery

Slavery is approved by God and endorsed to beat slaves to death. The supporting passages can be found in Colossus 3:22, Ex 20:17, Ex 21:16-27, Gen 17: 12-27, and 1Pet 2:18.

Even the Vatican Church authorized slavery and eradication of African people in 1400 which was known as Dum Diversas. The first slave ship, where the first slave trade started, was even named the ship of Jesus. 

6) God of Deceptions

The Hebrew language is the only language where letters come with meanings separately from what the words connote. Like for example the English word GOD. The word means supreme being or a deity. However, in the Hebrew language, the letter G holds a meaning different from the letter O and different from the letter D. Also, when you interchange the positions of each letter - like GOD becomes DOG, ODG, DGO, OGD, and GDO - all these words are still interrelated because of the fact that they share the same letters.

Now, if you translate the verse "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" in Hebrew, God actually created the Law first and not the heavens. Since the letters of Hebrew are both alpha and numerical, the Word or The Law is equivalent to the Hebrew numbers 401. Moreover, the verse tells us that it was the Beginning that created God, and NOT god created the beginning. The verse also provides us a clue that the word God is actually made up of Two Gods.

How are these so?

The first verse in Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth....", when translated to Hebrew becomes "Breishit Bara Elohim Et Hashmayim v'Et Ha'aretz ...".

The first word is be-re-SHIYT. This is from the Hebrew root resh-aleph-shin, meaning "beginning or start," with the preposition "be" on the front, which means "in, on, at." So the word could be translated as "in beginning" or "at start".

The second word is "ba-RA", meaning create or shape. It is from the Hebrew word bet-resh-aleph.

The third word is "eh-lo-HIYM", one of the seven names or aliases of God in the Old Testament.

Eh-lo-Hiym or Elohim is a Hebrew word that is plural for EL. So if we translate Genesis 1:1 word for word, the translation in Hebrew will be: "In beginning Gods". The third word ELOHIM means Gods in plural form.

Therefore when the universe was created there were TWO GODS working together. Now, if we translate Genesis 1:1 word-for-word, it would be "In - beginning created Gods" which could mean the beginning created gods.

The fourth word is "Et". The fifth word is "Hasmayin" which means heaven. The sixth word is "V'Et". And the seventh word is "Ha'aretz" which means the earth.

If you notice the Hebrew word "Et" is repeated here twice. It doesn't have any translation, but it can be interpreted. In Hebrew, Et is spelled out as Alef Tav (see Hebrew alphabet and numbers below). Alef is the first letter and Tav is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Therefore, if we go back to the first four words of Genesis, the Hebrew translation becomes "in the beginning, God created A to Z or Alef to Tav. God created the alphabet (word) first, then heaven, and then earth.

The Alphabet of Hebrew and their numerical equivalent:

Alef=1 Beit=2 Gimmel=3 Dalet=4 Hey=5 Vov=6 Zayin=7 Chet=8 Tet=9 Yud=10 Kof=20 Lamed=30 Mem=40 Nun=50 Samech=60 Ayin=70 Pei=80 Tzadik=90 Kuf=100 Reish=200 Shin=300 Tav=400

In the original manuscripts of the Old Testament, the Hebrew word God was written and translated into seven other names. They are:

• YHVH • Adonai • El • Eloha • Elohim • Elohei • Elohecha • Eloheichem • Shaddai • Tzivaos • Eheye asher Eheye

The first name YHVH can be interpreted as "Yahweh". Biblical scholars said that this four-letter word cannot be pronounced but can only be spelled out. It has also been rendered as Yah, Yahu, Jahveh, Jahi, or Jehovah, and has been related to the name of the Canaanite moon deity. However, the word Yahweh was only coined in 1869.
 
Elohim is a Hebrew plural word of El meaning "the goddesses and gods". However, every time it appears in a Bible text it is translated simply as "God". Before the singular form, El was taken as a name like the Phoenician bull-god named El, meaning "the god." Even Medieval wizards thought El or Elohim was one of the magical secret names of God; and at times, it was even taken to be the name of the devil.

Islam, Judaism, and Christianity worship the same God. In Islam, they name this God as Allah, Judaism names this God as Elohim, and Christians name this God as El Shaddai or Yahweh. Yu-Huang for Taoism, Buddha for Buddhism, and khrisna for Hinduism. If Christians have seven names for their God and other religious groups have their own names for their gods, who among these religious groups is worshipping the True God?

If Islam, Judaism, and Catholics have the same God, how come each religious denomination has its own ways of adoring God? Why do some of them pray bowing their heads repeatedly as they stand up facing a wall? Why do some bow with their bodies repeatedly as they kneel on the floor, while others walk kneeling towards the altar with rosaries in their hand? If they all have the same One God, why do they have different ways of worshipping him, her, or it?

7) What God did to his Disciples...


The Two Sides of the Bible: Metaphor or Literal

Believers usually use the miracles of Jesus as proof that he is a god. Jesus made the blind to see, raised the dead, and walked on water. These events are always literally explained by church leaders to their followers as miracles.

However, these miracles can also be explained metaphorically. The parable of the blind man may be interpreted as Jesus helping people to see the blessings nature is giving them. The parable of the dead may be translated as Life sometimes goes up and sometimes goes down. And the miracle of walking on the water may simply mean that there is nothing impossible.

These miracles are simply parables which are actual ordinary things that happen every day whether there is a god or not!
