JESUS, A HUMAN BEING
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14. “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life.” 1 John 1:1.
Readers, I want to ask you a very simple question. Based on what you have read from the above verses, was Jesus of Nazareth a human being, or was He God? The Bible says, “And the Word became flesh.” In other words, Jesus Christ was a human being when He was on earth. He was not God, right? Let me ask you the next question. Was that the reason why we abolished the Holy Words of Jesus, the “Word [that] became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14; because He was not God, we ignored Him, and we then followed Paul. As I recalled, Jesus called Paul to stop him from killing more Christians on his way to Damascus. Paul was scared to death when he heard the voice from heaven. That, I believe, scared to death was the reason why he followed the voice from heaven. He was not afraid of killing Christians everywhere he went. He was not afraid of changing God's words. In fact, he was the only writer in the Bible that contradicted Jesus in his teachings. The apostle James strongly disagreed with Paul’s writings on faith and no work. Millions of Christians, however, followed Paul and ignored Jesus. All of them fulfilled Paul’s prophecy, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, [because] they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn [their] ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3-4. They all fell for nonsense, fables, and not the truth. Where are we going with Paul with faith and no work? Some Christians say that they have done work for Jesus, and not faith only. Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23.

These men/women of great faith have indeed done many good works, and have done them in the name of Jesus, but they have not done what Jesus wants them to do, and that is: "do the will of My Father in heaven." This is an impossible task to do. Why? Because we have flushed all the will of Jesus and Yahweh in the toilet. And not only that, we don't even know who they are. We recognize only Paul.
If we say that Jesus is God, why don't we follow Him? We follow Paul. Are we scared of Paul? He is already dead, but Jesus is still alive. Should we not fear Him who is still alive? He could burn our body and soul in hell! Jesus said, "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28. Remember, our soul is resistant to death. We may be hearing weeping and gnashing of teeth for hours and weeks. It's called eternal fire in the Bible. Have you readers read about eternal fire?
