The Cure for All Woes: A Dose of Forum Humor! | Forum

Female Reporter: Should one love one’s enemies as it is written in the New Testament? 

Wise Man: The New Testament you mention is actually Italian and is not new, because it is anchored in the Septuagint, the Holy Book. If that were so, then the Book of Jeremiah would be a New Testament in comparison with the Book of Isaiah. Love is not a thread of thought, but requires certain relationships, therefore the commandment must be realistic, that is, a person physically cannot fulfill that commandment, to love his enemies, because the time, the day, would not be enough, it is the same as if a person worked in one hundred places. Mission is another matter, for example, a prophet is obliged to love everyone, because that is a requirement of purity in his work, just as, for example, a postman delivers letters. 

Female Reporter: Are the sins of people not forgiven through the sufferings of Christ and by faith? 

Wise Man: The blood of Christ is a sign and friendship with God. The blood of Christ is not washing powder that it should wash the bloodstained clothes of the person who killed an innocent man together with his family in order to rob his house. The forgiveness of that crime is accomplished by the mercy of God according to the course of the criminal’s later life. By the way, the sign of God is a heavy burden, but not a repeated one, for the person who brings that sign. 

Female Reporter: Can a person defeat nature? 

Wise Man: The strongest element of nature is fire, which melts iron, while turning a person into ashes. But God differs from fire as butter differs from the cold spring water flowing down from a mountain. Here, the water is fire. Fire is cold water before God, while water is spirit/soul, and a person is mostly composed of water. God is harder than nature, not a stronger nature, not like two lions against one lion, but like a lion and a lily flower, not even a rose, because a rose has thorns for protection. 

Female Reporter: Is the history that has come through the centuries part of the truth? 

Wise Man: From the history that has come through the centuries, only the good things should be taken, just as dried fruits are made from choice fruits, which, as a sign, heal blindness. The truth is connected with salvation and with the new king, not with collecting taxes. God does not say, "The slave must remain a slave, and the captive a captive," but just as He sent a person to Egypt for salvation. 

Female Reporter: Why does the New Testament attract people? 

Wise Man: The New Testament is a sacrificial book, just as a fearless person is sent into a forest full of bears and wolves so that the bears and wolves will eat that fearless believing person and will not come down to the city. However, the true Christ, one of those fearless believers, also goes into that same forest, but remains alive and returns to the city with a rope full of the skins of bears and wolves, of course, also with some wounds. 

Female Reporter: And who was Judith’s chief maidservant from the Book of Judith, who accompanied Judith to cut off Holofernes’s head? 

Wise Man: Allegorically, that chief maidservant was King Nebuchadnezzar in women’s clothing, like in the movie Tootsie, who is mentioned in the Book of Judith as the king of Assyria, rather than of Babylon. Here, King Nebuchadnezzar was Judith’s lover (in a secret bond), just as Judith blesses King Nebuchadnezzar through hints and riddles while standing before Holofernes, and King Nebuchadnezzar is a pagan image of Christ. One could say that Nebuchadnezzar repented of his wicked command and secretly, with Judith and with God’s help, corrected his mistake. 

Female Reporter: Should salvation be instantaneous, or should it be like in earthly wars, like the speed of a land turtle? 

Wise Man: I think salvation should be instantaneous, like a person waking up from sleep, from a bad or colorful dream, because God’s speed unimaginably exceeds the speed of light, and the 4,000-year allegorical historiography of the Holy Book (including the Book of Revelation) speaks about that speed. Although salvation may at first be like the speed of a sea turtle, which is the speed of Christ. 

Female Reporter: Are the "morning star" (Lucifer) written about the king of Babylon in Isaiah 14, and the "morning star" written about Christ in the Book of Revelation, not the same? 

Wise Man: No, they are not the same, and they are like Pharaoh of Egypt and the prophet Moses, both are stars, but Moses is a stronger star because he is good in spirit, or they are like Dathan and Abiram and Aaron and the prophet Moses in the wilderness, or they are like Goliath and the shepherd David. 

Female Reporter: Why does the commandment say that you shall not take the name of your Lord God in vain? 

Wise Man: That commandment is not connected with justice, but keeping that commandment is like men who follow a woman, some of whom follow the woman for another purpose, that is, to rape her, and not to love her and have fellowship with her. Loving and having fellowship is like the zealous study, interpretation, and beautiful presentation of the laws and prophecies of the Holy Book, rather than a flat sermon. The name of God is multilayered, among which are grace, joy, and the holy city, New Jerusalem. 

Female Reporter: If Satan is a human being, then why is it written in the Holy Book as a serpent, rather than as a bad person, that the serpent deceived Eve? 

Wise Man: Christ is also a human being, but in the Book of Revelation He is described as a lion and a Lamb. The Holy Book almost never uses the expressions "bad person," or "good person,"

or "normal person." In several places, the "normal person" in the Holy Book is called a donkey, as it is written that the donkey spoke when it saw the angel (although ordinarily a donkey can also speak by a miracle), and we know that the angel is also an eternal God. Here it must be understood correctly, that it is not that the angel is a transparent spiritual being who can descend unnoticed from Heaven to Earth, but that God can specially "tear open the universe" for certain people, just as a curtain is opened, or what is called "opening the eyes," so that they may see Him. It can be said that our universe is half a fantastic matrix, half real and half unreal, because true reality is the reality of God. 

Female Reporter: What is the Holy Spirit like in a person? 

Wise Man: One of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit is strength, preceded by knowledge, the first gift, for example, to know the structure and composition of the universe and the Earth, to correctly interpret the Holy Book, and concerning strength it is written in the Book of Ezekiel that God shall strengthen the arms of King Nebuchadnezzar (that is, the Anointed One, the Savior) and weaken the brute and sinewy arms of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, which is the whole world. 

Female Reporter: Why is it written in the Holy Book that the prophet, or the spiritual leader, the commander of Heaven, should not be afraid? 

Wise Man: When the prophet is born, God puts a spirit in him and does not want that same person, when he is called to a prophetic mission, to change 180 degrees and forget his identity, because God is not a random person encountered on a train, but He has an investment in the heart of that prophet beforehand. Not being afraid means that the prophet should not forget his "I." 

Female Reporter: And who was the Word in the Gospel of John? 

Wise Man: The lion and the fox differ from each other, but it depends on whom you meet first. The author of the Gospel of John was not found to be honest and did not write in the given Gospel that he had taken the word "Word" from the Book of Revelation, which is the last book of the Old Testament, the Septuagint, like platinum with gold, gold being the Septuagint. The beginning of the Gospel of John is similar to the beginning of the Book of Jeremiah, and by the same logic, the prophet Jeremiah was the Word. The Book of Jeremiah and the Gospel of John are like two perfumes, but the latter is the counterfeit version, even its fragrance is sharper, while the branded original perfume is the Book of Jeremiah. 

Female Reporter: Has the Holy Spirit descended only upon Christ? 

Wise Man: In the history of mankind, the Holy Spirit descended upon the First Christ, about whom very little is known, there is only the Shroud of Turin, and He himself is either in Heaven or miraculously sleeping long-term in some hidden cave by God. The Holy Spirit has also descended upon the Second Christ. The third case has not yet happened, that the Holy Spirit should descend upon any other person or group of believers. The mission of Christ is new, like the tongs of the seraph in the Book of Isaiah, and prophesied, and that mission is not measured by the good or bad ideas present in today’s world.
