Christian Clarity Review

The end result of “higher criticism” that is being taught at every so-called institution of ‘higher learning’ and certainly as “hermeneutics” as if hermeneutics were Truth:

Excerpt of: Prove Christ exists, judge orders priest - World - Times Online

Signor Cascioli’s contention — echoed in numerous atheist books and internet sites — is that there was no reliable evidence that Jesus lived and died in 1st-century Palestine apart from the Gospel accounts, which Christians took on faith. There is therefore no basis for Christianity, he claims.

Signor Cascioli’s one-man campaign came to a head at a court hearing last April when he lodged his accusations of “abuse of popular credulity” and “impersonation”, both offences under the Italian penal code. He argued that all claims for the existence of Jesus from sources other than the Bible stem from authors who lived “after the time of the hypothetical Jesus” and were therefore not reliable witnesses.

Signor Cascioli maintains that early Christian writers confused Jesus with John of Gamala, an anti-Roman Jewish insurgent in 1st-century Palestine. Church authorities were therefore guilty of “substitution of persons”.

The Roman historians Tacitus and Suetonius mention a “Christus” or “Chrestus”, but were writing “well after the life of the purported Jesus” and were relying on hearsay.

Father Righi said there was overwhelming testimony to Christ’s existence in religious and secular texts. Millions had in any case believed in Christ as both man and Son of God for 2,000 years.

“If Cascioli does not see the sun in the sky at midday, he cannot sue me because I see it and he does not,” Father Righi said.

Signor Cascioli said that the Gospels themselves were full of inconsistencies and did not agree on the names of the 12 apostles. He said that he would withdraw his legal action if Father Righi came up with irrefutable proof of Christ’s existence by the end of the month.

The Vatican has so far declined to comment.

Now anti-Christ as the Italian legal system wants some other testimony than Word: it demands to hear any other voice than God as Word that God is Word.

These are the same people through whom anti-Christ sided with anti-Christ Hitler and out of whom grew a Mussolini, that while decrying Christianity, set up a government that said:

Thus many of the practical expressions of Fascism such as party organization, system of education, and discipline can only be understood when considered in relation to its general attitude toward life. A spiritual attitude (3). Fascism sees in the world not only those superficial, material aspects in which man appears as an individual, standing by himself, self-centered, subject to natural law, which instinctively urges him toward a life of selfish momentary pleasure; it sees not only the individual but the nation and the country; individuals and generations bound together by a moral law, with common traditions and a mission which suppressing the instinct for life closed in a brief circle of pleasure, builds up a higher life, founded on duty, a life free from the limitations of time and space, in which the individual, by self-sacrifice, the renunciation of self-interest, by death itself, can achieve that purely spiritual existence in which his value as a man consists.

The conception is therefore a spiritual one, arising from the general reaction of the century against the materialistic positivism of the XIXth century. Anti-positivistic but positive; neither skeptical nor agnostic; neither pessimistic nor supinely optimistic as are, generally speaking, the doctrines (all negative) which place the center of life outside man; whereas, by the exercise of his free will, man can and must create his own world.

Fascism wants man to be active and to engage in action with all his energies; it wants him to be manfully aware of the difficulties besetting him and ready to face them. It conceives of life as a struggle in which it behooves a man to win for himself a really worthy place, first of all by fitting himself (physically, morally, intellectually) to become the implement required for winning it. As for the individual, so for the nation, and so for mankind (4). Hence the high value of culture in all its forms (artistic, religious, scientific) (5) and the outstanding importance of education. Hence also the essential value of work, by which man subjugates nature and creates the human world (economic, political, ethical, and intellectual).

This positive conception of life is obviously an ethical one. It invests the whole field of reality as well as the human activities which master it. No action is exempt from moral judgment; no activity can be despoiled of the value which a moral purpose confers on all things. Therefore life, as conceived of by the Fascist, is serious, austere, and religious; all its manifestations are poised in a world sustained by moral forces and subject to spiritual responsibilities. The Fascist disdains an “easy ” life (6).

The Fascist conception of life is a religious one (7), in which man is viewed in his immanent relation to a higher law, endowed with an objective will transcending the in­dividual and raising him to conscious membership of a spiritual society. “Those who perceive nothing beyond opportunistic considerations in the religious policy of the Fascist regime fail to realize that Fascism is not only a system of government but also and above all a system of thought.

Fascism, to those within it (just as well as those in any niche tumor in anti-Christ-as-mind-and-language) sees itself as a total explanation for total reality and thus trumps all other word orders in the eyes of those deceived within it, even as it cannot exist but merely as one of many off-shoots of the lie of free will and non-creating speech. It is but one of God’s creatures.

Yet in its own self-deception is little wonder that it now wants ‘proof’ the non-regenerate creature can both recognize and desire to know as Truth that God is Word / Jesus the Christ while remaining the present creature with the present creature’s mind and speech.

God very plainly says the natural man CANNOT know the things of God:

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know them because they are spiritually discerned;

Yet anti-Christ tells the natural man there is no other speech than himself and no ‘proofs’ but that exist in him as speech. Thus , when accused by anti-Christ as if there were only one speech in total reality Jesus Christ/Word of God gave it no answer.

Mark 15:3-5 And the chief priests accused him urgently. And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? See of how many things they bear witness against thee. But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.

The Romanist have long fled from God as Word. They are the progeny of ‘higher criticism’ wherein it is claimed God ‘uses human language’ to communicate with man –as if there were only one speech in total reality. They have been caught in their own trap: they had to say God ‘uses human language’ in order to keep saying the will of man is ‘free’ to ‘choose Jesus’ so the language of the Bible had to be ‘non-interfereing’ with the will to keep up that lie.

And so they have kept that lie and it has now come back to haunt them: their former victims prefer a different niche tumor of anti-Christ: one that appears to give them better emotional opportunity: atheism/no rules-ism.

Anti-Christ well knows that himself as speech can prove nothing outside of himself because he can create nothing. He cannot deliver those within him from himself –he cannot open the door. In his own mind and heart, there is no ‘outside’ of him.

Ezekiel 28:1-10 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a *god, I sit in the seat of God, in the heart of the seas, (and thou art a man, and not *God,) and thou settest thy heart as the heart of God: behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! nothing secret is obscure for thee; by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures; by thy great wisdom thou hast by thy traffic increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches. Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God, therefore behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall tarnish thy brightness. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of those that are slain in the heart of the seas. Wilt thou then say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and not *God, in the hand of him that pierceth thee. Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it , saith the Lord Jehovah.

Now the priest and the whole of the Roman Catholic Church , who is deceived God is not His Word but merely ‘uses language’ and indeed, supposedly wrote the Bible in ‘human language’ and gives men ‘holy info’ thereby can only appear to be fools in the legal systems of the world.

They no doubt will take that as some genuine persecution for the Name of Jesus Christ and thus ’suffer’ like nobodies business as publically as possible to deceive as many as they can while they still have some ‘power’/'influence’ left.

We will see what God will do. May He open all their eyes. Why not? He blessed me with new creation in Jesus Christ. Why not them?

The only way to prove Jesus Christ as Word to them is for them to be born again in Jesus Christ, for God as Word to Speak through one of His true servants. It can’t be the priest. If God as Word did that, that would violate the priest’s supposed ‘free will’ and the priest wouldn’t be a Catholic anymore, he would be a real, literal new creation in Jesus Christ know to the rest of the world as a Calvinist.

Having denied Jesus Christ as Creating Word and desiring to speak their own speech, what will they do now? Their gospel has always been false. A false gospel can’t create anything. And a handicap such as not being able to debazzle with vain ceremony doesn’t bode well for making ‘new converts’ to their old lies.

God says of real, literal new creations in Jesus Christ –those in whom God non-metaphorically dwells :

Matthew 10:19,20 But when they deliver you up, be not careful how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what ye shall speak. For ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.

God also says:

John 6:63 It is the Spirit which quickens, the flesh profits nothing: the words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.

What will the Romanist say now? What will the Judge hear? Who is the alternate literal/impersonator of whom?

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

1John 4:4-6 *Ye* are of God, children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. *They* are of the world; for this reason they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. *We* are of God; he that knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
