This sorry excuse of a criticism smears itself, not the Bible.

This defamation of the Bible deceives its intended – obviously ignorant – audience regarding the fact that it is the Roman Empire’s culture – LAUDED by humanists such as this American Atheists Organization – which is responsible for the cruel slavery experienced by subjugated populations over the last two thousand years.

The Roman legal system, NOT the Mosaic Law, controlled the nation of Israel when the New Testament was written, and has been perpetuated into our current modern era by elitists’ exploitation of the masses.

“Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God; And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons [i.e. the masters will get what they deserve from the Lord].” (Colossians 3:22-24)

In absolute contrast, the Law of Moses established fair treatment of all individuals in society.

“Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.” (Leviticus 25)

The ancient definition of father was not exclusively or even essentially sperm donor, or even head of a family, but a leader empowering subordinates to perpetuate his expertise.

• “Jabal was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.” Think the ranchers in the American West 
• “Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. (Genesis 4:20-22) the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals…to give thanks and to praise the LORD.” (I Chronicles 25:1-3)

The (in my view) phenomenally relevant television show Breaking Bad demonstrates this concept to a society that has lost touch with this reality. 

Walter White identifies so strongly [AKA I love it!] not only with the innate ability of a former student Jesse, but especially his rebelliousness and independence, that he exerts his heretofore untapped great knowledge and skill into making Jesse in his own self-image as a heretofore unrealized superlative and therefore rightly wealthy chemist.

“For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth / teaches by demonstration him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these.” (John 3:35)

A biblical example of a father who loved / i.e. identified with offspring and raised him up in his own image is Abram.

The Sixth Sense was one of 1999’s biggest hits, earning six Academy Award nominations, including best picture because “the reveal just blew your mind” – the key fact that was actually present from the beginning and throughout every event, that the viewer missed – due to false preconceptions.

For example, one comedian jested that the multiple occasions over time of a wife apparently giving the cold shoulder to her husband is such a common marital experience that it never occurs to the viewer to question it to be anything else. Even at the Revelation, because it is such a shock, the viewer is given a quick review of those events to overcome any doubt that the Revelation is indeed consistently true.

The biblical account is no different. In order to “get” the revelation of any mystery story one must accept the facts presented at the beginning of an account, then surfacing throughout the development of the plot, until the ultimate revelation:

“He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God / Lifegiver, and he shall be my son.” (Revelation 21:7)

More on this point in the relevant post, for now just recognize that praying a prayer accepting Jesus as your savior doesn’t do squat to guarantee eternity in heaven. It’s not up to us, it’s God’s decision.

The Hebrew scriptures don’t describe the creation of the original sons of God, they simply state their existence in heaven prior to the creation of earth / mass from which mankind was made, when it was just being plotted out. (Plotted. Get it?)

We can change the order of the phrasing without changing the truth:

“when I laid the foundations of the earth…all the sons of God shouted for joy.” (Job 38:4-7)

“All the sons of God shouted for joy…when I laid the foundations of the earth.” 

This establishes these sons of God as pure hyperdimensional energy beings. In modern science this is known as cloning. A clone is a group of identical cells that share a common ancestry, meaning they are derived from the same cell. In biology these are called “daughters” rather than sons, but offspring nonetheless.

Hesiod, who translated the older civilizations’ accounts of the origins of the gods / Theo-gony into the Greek culture’s version also converted the ancient Babylonian Ages of Man – historical stages of human existence– to fit Greek culture. Like Nebuchadnezzar’s statue, these are indicated symbolically with metals of successively decreasing value as the Golden Age of Man characterized by peace and harmony when the humans freely associated with the gods and, like them, did not have to work to feed themselves. These conditions parallel the biblical account of the first humans’ way of life in the Garden of Eden, including conversing with the serpent as a normal part of a walk in the park.

One aspect of the unity between God and both branches of his offspring that is most unfortunately missed by mainstream Christianity is the expression of gender duality.

While it is assumed from the statement “male and female created he them” that God created one of the humans with male reproductive organs and the other with female reproductive organs, that assumption doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.

“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” (Colossians 2:9-10)

Scientifically, chimerism is a natural condition of a single individual being both male and female.

As shown in the very ancient Hindu depiction of Shiva, a primary god, this is a key aspect not only of Father God but his spirit sons. If we don’t acknowledge this, we miss a key manifestation of spirit beings interacting with humans.

Primo-geniture/ first-born is the most common practice in the Western world, but ancient societies valued proven competence over birth order. for obvious survival reasons. An extension of the Father’s base-line authority, he also chose the son who became the new head of the family when he ceded his authority.

The Godfather saga is a case study of the concept of granting inheritance to the son who best manifests the father’s likeness by demonstrating commitment to the values of the father. Out of Vito Corleone’s sons, the older two go their own ways, both out of pride – the oldest out of arrogance and the second son out of resentment. Only Michael, the youngest, inherits the father’s dominion, because he carries out his father’s will.

Michael in turn publicly names his nephew Vincent as his heir, because Vincent has become  just like him because he has submitted himself to the punishing training required to make him capable of carrying on Michael’s legacy. 

The ancient term for designating a child one’s heir is “begat”.

“This is the book of the generations of Adam…Adam begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth…And after he had begotten Seth…he begat sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:3-5)

In any inheritance there are two elements to one’s estate – material assets and authority to manage them. 

Continue reading “36) Begotten Son = Heir To Father’s Estate”

This concept is well portrayed in Breaking Bad.

Jesse’s character development into Mr. White’s likeness is encapsulated in a brusque comment made by Mr. White on a test paper that Jesse perceived as Mr. Whites’ recognition and empowering of his parents’ overlooked ability, so kept among his few belongings – “Apply yourself!”

Despite being in constant emotional conflict this authority figure, he respects him as evidenced by always addressing him as “Mr. White” and modeling his own behavior after his.

Not only does he become the heir to Mr. White’s drug empire, as Jesse matures we hear Jesse repeat Mr. White’s instructions, including the all-important “Apply yourself!” to his own subordinates, and they begin to model their behavior after his.

And without giving away any of the building drama, the “only” begotten heir multiplies himself into “many brethren”.

“Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob…Jacob begat Judas and his brethren.” (Matthew 1:2)
