God's Love is Jesus

The New International Version (NIV) that is read in Episcopal churches says, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’  But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”. (Matthew 5:43-44) 

Likewise, the New Revised Standard Version, Anglicized (NRSVA) says, ‘You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.” But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”. (Matthew 5:43-44)

Did you realize that verse 44 includes words written between angle brackets (⧼ and ⧽) that the Church (including the NRSVCE – Catholic Edition and NRSVUE – Updated Edition, as well as the New King James Edition, New American Standard Bible, and others) neglects?  The written text in parentheses is literally this:

“⧼bless those cursing you , good do to those persecuting you .    kai  hating you⧽”

In EVERY Scripture reading where parenthese are found, that Scripture is treated like it is optional; and all optional text is thrown out like the baby lost in the bath water.

This is how the Church goes against the teaching of Jesus, where heaven and earth (soul & body) will pass away (death) without not one smallest mark of Scripture passing away.  To take it upon oneself to think an angle bracket means delete all words in between is to play god.  Thou shall have no other gods before Yahweh, especially that eternal soul wallowing in a filthy pile of flesh, thinking that lesser god knows anything about spiritual matters.

It becomes most important to realize Jewish tradition said, “hate the enemy of you,” not the Torah. This means the truth comes from an expectation to “hate” Satan, who possesses one’s “enemies” and leads them to “curse” you for believing in Yahweh.  Satan will have his possessions “persecute” you because you worship one God, not the many pagan gods that Satan tempts your soul with.  The word kai is a sign (not a Stuttering John "and") that indicates “hating you” (the words following kai) is most important to grasp.  This says “you” are possessed by Yahweh and resurrected each as His Son reborn into flesh, who steadfastly rejects Satan and all his temptations.

The Jewish tradition had Jews live amongst one another, as neighbors, away from the pagan Gentiles who did not worship Yahweh.  To have that tradition evolve into a “hatred” of the “enemies” of Jews, rather than Satan “hating” Israelites, is why Jesus taught this lesson to “love your enemies  kai  [importantly] pray for those who persecute you.”  Here, another use of kai means this lesson is important to understand; thus, an explanation was placed within angle brackets or parentheses.

When Jesus says not to hold “hate” in your heart and soul, but “love,” that is the “love” of the Son of Yahweh, which most know as Adam.  The name “Jesus” means “YAH Saves,” which says Yahweh Saves through His Son.  Then one is a true Israelite; and when one’s soul is divinely possessed by the soul of Adam-Jesus (the Savior Son of Yahweh) Jesus becomes one’s inner Lord and Master, to eternally remain with a soul, saving it from the wiles of Satan. It is his “love” that will “bless” (or “speak well of,” as a “prayer” to the Father) those who “curse you” for refusing to comply with the demands to serve their master and lord, Satan.  With Adam-Jesus as the extension of Yahweh leading one’s flesh to act, one always acts “good,” even when others are “persecuting your acts.”  It then will be because of Adam-Jesus keeping one’s heart filled with true “love” that the absence of that “love” in others will lead them to be “hating you,” for the peace Yahweh’s “love” (Adam-Jesus) protects one’s soul with.

When this is understood, it becomes the acts of “haters” that are attempting to “persecute” true Christians for not pretending to “love” those who “hate” them and want to “persecute” them to death.  This is the acts of false shepherds and hired hands that know nothing of the truth divine Word holds.  They are heathen Gentiles, who “hate” other Christians, while offering acts of pretend “love” to those who do no acts of “good” whatsoever.

When Nicodemus (the rich young ruler unnamed in Matthew 19, Mark 10, and Luke 18) asked Jesus, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”, Jesus replied, “Follow the Commandments.”  The Commandments are the divine marriage vows between a soul and Yahweh.  When one’s soul has proved its complete commitment to Yahweh (by acts of good deeds, whereby only Yahweh is good), meaning the Commandments all have been met and followed religiously, then one’s soul is not only marred to Yahweh, as His wife-soul BUT Yahweh has raised His Son’s soul in that wife-soul.  This means there are TWO souls within the flesh of one following the Commandments of divine marriage.

Guess what?

When Nicodemus (who did not understand what being born again from above meant) was told, “Then get rid of all your worldly attachments and follow my soul that will Spiritually lead you where Yahweh wants His wife-soul to go, as my soul will be joined with your soul, as your inner Lord.”  Jesus was subliminally stating the conditiona, "If you cannot hear my voice within your Mind, they Nicky Deemus ole boy, you are not following the Commandments like you think you have been."

All you false shepherds and hired hands who know what stupidity Nicky must have felt, raise your hands and wave them around in the air. If you do not know that "born again" (gennēthē deuteron) means "to be born a second time" and "from above" (anōthen) means "from heaven," where that also means "again," but with a "second soul," like one's birth from mommy was with one soul in one itty bitty body of flesh. This is English translations, which is just as hard for English-speaking Christians to understand is it is and was for Greek-speaking Jews to understand, when the first Gospels were written. Nicky and his Pharisee pals were all supposed teachers of Scripture (the Hebrew texts), but none had a clue how to read words related to Spiritual matters.

Dumb as stumps. From the dead stump of Saul the failed king.

For instance, the First Commandment says (you have to read it to see it), "You will bring no other gods before the face of Yahweh. Nicodemus could not leave home without wearing the face of Mammon all over him.  Jesus was telling him, "Since you obviously do not follow the Commandments, you cannot expect to inherit eternal life." 

See ya.  Wouldn’t want to be ya.

Now, if Nicky Deemus had obeyed every Commandment, he would have fulfilled the most important Law, which is “love Yahweh with ALL your heart, ALL your soul, ALL your strength, and ALL your mind.”  That would be because he sold all his loves for worldly things and gave the profits to the poor souls who love things more than Yahweh.  Then Nicky would be born again from above with the soul of Jesus moving into his body of flesh, becoming his NEIGHBOR.

Jesus is the only way to “love Yahweh in ALL ways possible.”  Jesus IS Yahweh’s LOVE.  When Jesus is your neighbor, then you feel his LOVE as your own … as YOURSELF.

Because all this Scripture was among Jews – Jesus and Nicodemus, who was the ruler of the Sanhedrin, who were the Pharisees and Sadducees who asked Jesus, “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” – Jesus was not pointing to any Romans in Jerusalem at the time of the Passover Festival.  At that time of year, Gentiles of other varieties would be forbidden entrance.  So, Jesus was not says, “You guys are neighbors with Arabs, so you should love them like you love Jews."  This is why (in the parable of the Good Samaritan – Luke 10) Nicodemus (an expert in the Law among the Pharisees and Sadducees) asked, “Who is my neighbor?”

If Nicky Deemus – an expert in getting the Law all backassward, like false shepherds and hired hands today – did not know who his “neighbor” was, then you can bet your bottom dollar it wasn’t some Palestinian Arab.  It was not some Jew down the street (for other Jews); and it was not some abomination of a ‘man’ that sleeps with another man, like as a normal man sleeps with a normal woman (i.e.: a wife, not some 'baby daddy').

All of the above are what traditional Jews were taught to “hate,” because if you get any of that on your soul, then there is no hope of inheriting eternal life.  A true “Teacher” (like Jesus) a:) tells the truth of Scripture (which leads those like YOU to go, “No way!); and, b.) tells those who scoff, “Don’t believe me.  I desire no cult following.  YOU need to see for yourself the truth; and that can only come from proving you are Yahweh wife-soul material, which can take decades of committed devotion.”

Thus, the title "Christians," not "Jesusites." A "Christ" (capitalized in Scripture) is a soul that has had Yahweh pour out His Spirit upon their soul-flesh, like David was "Anointed" ... a "Christ." A "Christian" is a soul in flesh that proved devotion and love for Yahweh, as a bridesmaid learning how to put Spiritual truth of Scripture in a lamp that becomes the light of truth, forevermore leading a soul to divine Baptism, which consumates that union so Jesus is born again from above. One must be a "Christ" (the Hebrew word is Messiah), before one's filthy body of flesh has been forgiven of sins and all the vendors' booths have been overturned (sell what you own and give to the poor) and one's body has become a Temple worthy of Jesus being one's High Priest.

That means looking up things like this on the Internet is a baby-step in the right direction. I have just fed you a spoonfull of solid food; but that is little more than a crawl.  Stand up and walk in the name of Jesus of Nazareth … you cripples! 

No false shepherd will walk you to heaven in the sky.  Heaven is your soul and you need the Spirit of Yahweh poured out upon your soul-flesh, so Jesus can take over that kingdom.  His realm is not in a pigsty.
