Female Reporter: Are the stones of the Egyptian pyramids indeed made of concrete mortar? 

Wise Man: If we assume that Pharaoh built those pyramids as a tomb, then it is difficult to imagine that a glorious Pharaoh would order a tomb made of concrete for himself, humiliating himself before slaves and stretching out his hands toward foam. But as it is written in the Holy Book, as a sign that the Israelites were making bricks from clay and straw for Pharaoh, then some stones of the Egyptian pyramids are indeed made from concrete mortar, as a human would make them if he were to build them.

Female Reporter: Did the devil truly test Christ in the wilderness on the 40th day as it is written in the New Testament? 

Wise Man: In the New Testament, there are often tongue-twisters, and those tongue-twisters distance the human heart from God. The temptation in the wilderness of the New Testament, which was allegedly carried out by the initiative of the Spirit, is a competition of tongue-twisters, although there are quotes from the Holy Scripture. For example, when the devil says, "If you are the Son of God, say that these stones become bread," this is a tongue-twister, besides that, it is possible that an Egyptian magician could turn stones into bread, just as the magicians' rods also became snakes. The example of Christ being tested by the devil is written in the Book of Maccabees allegorically, when before an arrogant king, a certain Epiphanes, an Israelite mother and her seven sons are tortured to death. Here, the mother and her seven sons are Christ, and Epiphanes is the devil. The seven sons are also the seven spirits of the Book of Revelation.

Female Reporter: Can any person among the people be the Christ? 

Wise Man: No, not every person can be the Christ, although a person may weigh more than Christ. Christ is like a shepherd dog, while, for example, a sheep, a horse, or a wolf cannot be a shepherd dog. A shepherd dog is faithful to its work, but it can become sick, become tired, or be taken from the mountain to the city. A shepherd dog is replaced only by a shepherd dog.

Wise Man: We know very little about the First Christ, just as the book about the Count of Monte Cristo differs from the real Count of Monte Cristo, a cobbler named Pierre Picaud. According to archival documents, Picaud was engaged to a rich woman, but his jealous friends falsely accused him of espionage. He also spent many years in prison, where became close with a rich priest, who, while dying, bequeathed his treasures to him. 

One of the main temptations is vanity, for that reason the New Testament is written only from a non-vain perspective, just as a wedding ceremony and the wedding itself are not vain, even if there are sad toasts at the wedding, that is, the New Testament is written to inspire the believers, if we do not take into account the hidden snare in it for the Second Christ. Only love withstands vanity.

Wise Man: For example, in the case of humans, language, spoken speech, developed first, and then the alphabet for that language was created. But God is original as well. He created the alphabet first, that is, the Holy Spirit existed first, and only afterward was the language, that is, the universe, created and developed. As it is written in the Book of Proverbs, "I was beside Him, fitting things together," that is, like an architect.

Wise Man: God’s book differs from books of men because the Holy Scripture is an eternal book which begins from the Holy Spirit. Eternity includes the past, the present, and the future simultaneously, these three times together are called prophetic, that is why the Holy Scripture is a prophetic book, the past is like rain for a flower (man). Just as God has given man the ability to laugh, so He has taught purity, just as in the Holy Scripture there is the name Isaac which means laughter, so also in the Holy Scripture there is that peg. 

In the Book of Isaiah, there is a mention of the beautiful feet of the one bringing good news upon the mountains, which does not mean that a man’s feet are more beautiful than a woman’s feet, because a woman is also a mother.

Wise Man: After the resurrection, from among the dead or the living, and among the saved, people will be able to see God physically and remain alive. The human being of today cannot see God and remain alive. One reason is spiritual, because the human being of today is not worthy to see God because of sins. The second reason is that the human being of today is physically weak and weak in composition, which would be similar to a person falling under a train.
