When Jesus Christ was brought before Pontius Pilate, he said he had come into the world to accomplish one thing.
That one thing may surprise people.
He did not say he had come to love people, to destroy evil, to save people, to teach them about the purpose of their lives, the after life or any thing like that.
When he appeared before Pilate with his hands tied, his face bruised and beaten, covered in blood and sweat, (and the full horror and torture endured by Jesus Christ is documented in the Shroud of Turin,) he said he was born for one thing.
When Pilate asked him if he was the King of the Jews ( because Pilate saw that Jesus Christ, even when beaten and bruised, still had an extraordinary and royal appearance like no one else, as we can see from the image on the Shroud), Jesus Christ told him what his real purpose was.
He said I have come into this world only in order to reveal the truth.
(John 18 37)
Modern Greek translations translate the verb "martiriso" using the verb reveal, make appear.
So, Jesus Christ says I have come to REVEAL, UNCOVER, the truth, implying an active, energetic purpose to demolish lies, false hoods and ignorance wihich rule the world as portrayed in Orwell s 1984 too.
Charlie Kirk knew that telling the truth is dangerous but an absolute commandment.
Jesus Christ also said he is the Light of the World.
"I am the light of the world".
Light and knowledge are connected.
The light, the sun, allows us to see things in the world.
Light is the natural element which causes things to be manifested, to be revealed.
It makes objects visible.
The spirit has the same character of revealing things as natural light.
That is why the sun is an image of the spirit that has absolute knowledge, Jesus Christ, and which reveals everything that truly is as it is.
The free light consciousness, of knowedge, enlightens the logical mind of human beings, who are created in God s image and likeness to be logical and truthful.
The difference is that the divine and human spirit reveals itself while the light of nature reveals only other, phsyical material things,
The spirit reveals what it choses to reveal.
It is free consciousness.
The human spirit can, paradoxically, chose also ignorance, chose not to reveal, chose to hide, chose to lie.
What is the darkness that covers our spirits?
It is the ego.
It is the will to be god. to recreate the world as our stage
as our prop as we like it.
Since the limitation is in our mind we must change our thinking, become humble, realistic, objective.
It is striking how close a connection there is between ignorance and darkness, how closely the darkness of nature, the night, and the spirit are related.
Darkness is the natural element which makes things hidden, invisible and so unknowable.
When we walk around in the world of things in darkness, at night time, we cannot see things unless we have a light, a flash light, a torch, a lamp.
When we think about the world with our spirits covered in darkness,in the darkness of egoism, arrogance, preferring the lie to the truth, ignoring the truth, we cannot see and know the true things and reality because we do not want to see them.
A darkened spirit reveals itself as absolute darkness, ignorance. Preferring lies, it enthrones its egotistical as the absolute god in its little, random, self generated, unanchored, ever changing, confused worldview.
It is a false filter of the mind which preerfers the lie that comes between us and the sun of truth and which creates a false world, a false sphere, a place of ignorance and darkness, a Cave of shadows like Plato s Cave or ChatGPT caves or Orwell s 1984.
The exclusive focus of a person on themselves as the centre of their universe is at the same time a focus which excludes everything outside that person, other people, other things, ideas, reality itself.
This approach lies my omission.
ChatGPT, it turns out, omits all logical and mathematical operations and uses a random method of statistcs and random texts in a doomed quest for the truth.
An approach like this is limiting, isolating, falsifying and hallucinatory.
A true Christian by definition cannot be a delusional, fantastical, hallucinatory moron stumbling from disaster to disaster because they follow The Truth, what really is as can be found by LOGIC.
And a comprehensive investigation of every aspect of the Shroud of Turin using the most modern science and technologies has revealed everything about the Shroud fits exactly what is said in the Gospels, including the Resurrection, and is true.
We can now say with 99.99% certainty we know for a fact Jesus Christ rose from the dead after his Crucification through a burst of radiation, which came out of nothing, and which is imprinted on the fibres of the shroud through chemical changes.
That was only discovered with the invention of photography in the 19th century.
No explanation has ever been offered for this extraordinary, unique burst of radiation other than the Resurrection.
Jesus Christ said to Pilate Pontius, basically, anyone who is really interested in the truth, who is logical, reasonable, ready to consider matters from different angles, thrink things through, who really wants to investigate what is the truth, will find the true God, the truth that I am God.
The truth, finding it, telling it is the essence of Christianity.
Christ had nothing to be afraid of. Everything he says is true. He invited questions, never lectured, hectored, told stories, buried truths in parables and left the listener free to think things through for themselves.
Indeed, it was the ancient Greeks who were the first to systematically investigate the world using logic, maths and science, who founded philosophy, maths, science, architecture and even law, who were the ones who ended up being the first to accept Jesus Christ.
The Gospels were written in ancient Greek
The Greek speaking Church Fathers showed how what Christ said fitted almost seamlessly with what philsophers like Plato, Aristotle had concluded from observation and logic of the world.
He said he was the light of the world.
He meant it literally.
The burst of radiation on the Shroud shows Jesus Christ is literally radiation, energy, light, the uncreated light which comes out of nothing and creates everything.
Light is life. The sun gives life to plants, trees, to the entire the physical world.
It is the light of eternity, the light of paradise which Christ offers us if we tell the truth and refuse the lie.
That is why Christ will finally rule over us as King and without using violence.
He will rule over all logical minds everywhere in the world who reasonably and of their free will accept the evidence also in the Shroud of Truin that he is our Creator, our King and Best Friend and only way out of Satan s world of delusion and death.
But to be acknowledged by him as his follower, we must use our God given power to be logical, think things through, tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
May we all take time to consider the very serious consequences telling lies, even small lies, have for us, for other people, for the catastrophic state of this world, and, of course, for our soul in the next.
Lies have become so commonplace in our world, especially in the Western media, we do not even think twice about.
Netanyahu should also reflect carefully on these matters too
They should accept our Lord, Jesus Christ, as the "way, the truth and the life."
Because the alternative is torment in this world and in the next, unbearable torment.
For just as heaven is real, so is hell and a terrible place as Jesus Christ truthfully warned us.
As Erika Kirk said no one is too old to accept the Gospel and to repent.
