Welcome fellow human to the writing is on the wall. Radio broadcast coming to you from WHKW 1220 AM the word Salem Cleveland I’m TA the teacher’s assistant. And I’m here to try and give you an overview of what we’ve talked about since February in this particular one is going to start off because Thursday it’s the 30th now of November. So Thursday was Thanksgiving, and I’m gonna ask you some questions and I will go through them slowly. I tend to speed up cuz I already know the answers is what I’m looking for. So, so I wanna know if you are grateful to God for giving you the opportunity to live, learn, love and mature.

You need to answer that question. You, if that is true, if you are grateful to God for this opportunities that we’ve gotten further, I wanna know if you accept that you owe the first fruits of your intelligence and commitment to God. If you say no, then there’s nothing more to tell, talk about. But if you say yes to that, you do feel that you accept that you owe the first fruits of your intelligence and commitment to God. Then I have to ask you, if you are willing to work at discerning, the extent of then fulfill God’s faith in you, that’s something that we don’t discuss and we should, what is the extent of God’s faith in you? And are you willing to work to discern that, to search it out and then to fulfill it?

Now, if you call yourself a Christian, the answer to all of those is yes, because that is what Christ’s message was all about. The reason that he told you all the things that he told you gave you all the instructions and directions so that you could, and it’s in John 7 24, judge correctly, instead of judging by outward appearances, that’s the entire reason for his coming. And if you say, oh, what about salvation? The salvation that you are thinking about is a spiritual salvation. The salvation that Jesus brought was a physical and spiritual salvation. And it wasn’t just for individuals. It was for the entire human race here on planet earth. But you don’t know that you can’t feel that and you can’t switch to it because you’ve never dug, dug down deep enough to discover what it is that Jesus was trying to tell you, you hear all the positive points.

They’re really all positive, but about being a servant and basically doing for others and for being there for other people and all the I’m gonna have to go through and list them all. And Matthew, mark, and Luke, but, but for all the positive things that he said, and then in John three said it would be like being born again. Once you switched over, the problem is that no one understood what he was saying, but there were enough witnesses to write down the characterizations afterward. And John was the best witness because he knew how important it was to Jesus, Jesus and John were BFFs, best friends forever.

Now, the reason I’m telling you this is obviously to help you understand where you have halted your progress in discerning what it is that God wants from you. You have studied religious rationales that the religious people have used the Bible to support. They say, oh, this is what Jesus meant or what Jesus must have meant or whatever. And you accept that because you don’t have any way to refute it. and that’s one, our biggest problems and God knew about it, which is why he sent Jesus. We mix what God said with what humans say.

Even well-intentioned humans are not God and whatever they say, even though they mean, well is not accurate one or two things. Maybe when they report things that actually happened and actually were said, but then the justifications for those things start and that’s where we go all off the charts. That’s the problem. I remember when I was a very little boy, probably five I’m guessing. And my brother who was about a year and a half younger than me, we watched now they would call ’em Saturday morning cartoons and they did have cartoons, but a lot of times they were like serials and, and Superman. Superman was the best. He was the nicest guy. He always took the hit socially or whatever. And he always made sure that the bad guys got caught and stopped before they get hurt. Too many people. Superman was the best.

So when my little brother and I heard probably over the television, that George Reed who played Superman was dead. We couldn’t believe it. This is Superman. You can’t kill Superman. And my tearful little brother looked up at me. How could they kill Superman? And because I didn’t know any better. And I accepted that Superman could not normally be killed. I said, they must have used a kryptonite Reagan. And my little brother was sad, but he understood that it was still possible for Superman to die. If some bad guy had shot him with a kryptonite Reagan, the entire fabric of his existence, although it was shaken, did not crash because there was a rational reason for Superman to be dead.

We were children. He was three. I was five, but that just shows the power of rationale. When you have facts that you don’t understand how they can fit together, you guess, and because it’s painful, you don’t wanna revisit that guess all that often it becomes part of your belief system. And that’s why Jesus was sent to earth. Now, something I’ve told you about in the past, but which you probably haven’t really understood is that everything happens for a reason. Hopefully you understand that, but that we have had six and years on the face of the earth to mature.

Now, to give you an example, if in the garden of Eden, we were toddlers, say one and a half, put out into a world where we couldn’t be harmed by much accept each other. And for every thousand years after that humanity aged three years, then we arrive into 21st century. The age of 19 and a half. Humanity is 19 and a half years old, or we’re actually 6,000 years old, but we are, you can compare that to a 19 and a half year old individual human. Now, why am I making this comparison? The fact of the matter is that you don’t give a one and a half year old, anything that will harm him.

And as he’s growing, you give him information that will help guide him in growing up the right way. But then he gets to the age where in the Jewish religion, he is considered to be a man about 13 and a half. And that’s when Jesus came to earth when humanity was 13 and a half years old, and Jesus told us everything we needed, but we didn’t understand it, which 13 and a half, you know, but it got laid down. It got reported by three different people because that what was required in order for something to be considered a fact.

Now his three personal views attested to by the authors that this happened. And that was mosaic law, which is why Matthew mark and Luke wrote their gospels. Now, John, on the other hand wrote his gospel. So that would understand why Jesus had come and what he had to say. That was important to humanity. So if you think of Matthew, mark, and Luke as length, width, and depth, and you can think of John as the time component to watch it all progress. So we are at 19 and a half now, and for the past six years, 2000 on earth, we have been assuming that the humans who characterized what Jesus said and did got it correctly, furthermore, we have allowed those people who studied this to further characterize it in their own words.

Unfortunately, they did not say, this is how I view it. They reported it as though it was fact. And it was then taken to be fact, if you wanted to be part of the religion, then you had to accept it. As fact, even though it was human justifications for the small amount of information that we had from Jesus pointing out what God had tried to instruct us in, well, now we’re 19 and a half. We can look back and say, yes, religions pressured us to accept this. And the pressure was, if you don’t believe it will kill you.

And they have kept the great commission alive by forcing everyone to deal with their own inadequate justifications. So for this reason, we can’t, at least I’m trying hard not to be too upset with them because they had a sales job to do. And they did it and it kept Christ and God in the forefront of men’s minds into the 21st century. Now our times are evil times. And the reason they’re evil is because people no longer are satisfied with being forced to accept something. They want their own answers and they will say their own truths. There is only one truth, but we have never Christians and anybody else have never really worked at finding it. Why did God do what he did for us?

Faith? Yes. Love. Yes, but there were reasons. And there were also reasons that we mistook what he did for us, cuz we could only understand it in the context of things that we had experienced. But now that we’re 19 and a half it’s time to look at all the paperwork and decide, Hmm, what did I miss? What was here for me? And for all mankind that we lost over allowed religious people to gloss over. Some people may say, eh, nothing. It’s just a fantasy book because they don’t wanna look into it. They’re afraid of what they might find.

Or they think that only relationships with other human beings are important. And there’s nothing you can do about that. You can tell them about Jesus and about his being the son of the God and about his bringing a method of salvation to Mankin. But if you go beyond that and say that the salvation is this, that and the other, and you know that it is then you are doing the one thing that Moses said never ever to do because God told them, tell them never ever to do this and is to put words in the mouth of God, never, ever report that this is what God said. If God didn’t say it.

So we have a problem, a big problem. And that is that we are at 19 and a half. Maybe we’ll make it to 21. We don’t know how much time we have, but we do know that the Bible has told us that all the time that we have been growing and maturing, the information was there for us all the time, whether we pay attention to it or not. The Bible also told us and gave us examples that humans have a problem separating the voices of men from the voice of God. So when Jesus came to earth and this is still the problem, by the way, all humans grew up from babies, right? Outta their mother’s womb. They were taught by other humans, how to live, how to function, what to do, what was proper and what was right.

Every human being at were born has also started with what I call subjective decision making parameters. In other words, what do I think? What do I want? What do my buddies think? What is good? I’ll make the determination for that. And that is not what Jesus taught. The reason that Jesus said about being a servant and about helping your fellow man is because the Jews kept God hidden their own personal God for 4,000 years. And Jesus said, no, we gotta get this out. We gotta spread the word, the great commission we call it. That’s a characterization but accurate.

And if you’re the type of person who feels that there might be something there, then the holy spirit will deal with you to the extent that you are willing to take it. And if you are willing not to accept the easy answer, but to keep on digging, the holy spirit will be by your side, guiding your efforts and helping to understand what it is that you have found. And that’s what I’m asking you all to do. Wow. Read the Bible specifically the first four gospels and try your hardest to understand when you get to John three, what it is that he said and why he said it. John explains that friends of Jesus need to understand why servants only need to understand how and to do.

But if you wanna be an apostle of Christ, a disciple, you need to ask yourself why. And the answer are in the Bible. Why did Jesus say the things that he did? Why did he act the way that he did? Why did he try and tell everybody about the great message? Because it is and will be the salvation of humanity, but we need to work at it. If somebody gave you a Christmas present of beautiful canvas and brushes and paints and you to let it sit under the tree until the tree died and you didn’t use your hopefully talent limited, though, it may be to paint something. Then you wasted had gift and you are wasting the gift that God gave you. If you do not try to understand what it is he wants of you and why he wants you to go do it. The objective decision making system, that Jesus urged us all to switch to where you make decisions based, not what is good for you, but what is good for everybody? What situation raises all boats? What situation puts humanity in the forefront of understanding. There’s nothing for you to have that your brother cannot have. So after the break, when we come back, we will discuss that a little bit more forcefully and I’ll try and come up with some examples for you that you can more easily understand. Talk to you after the break.

Welcome back fellow humans. So the writing is on the wall radio broadcast. I coming to from w H H K w 12:20 AM the word Salem Cleveland. Well, when we left, I was telling you about the Jesus wanting us to switch from subjective, where everything was weighed by us as how does it benefit us, us as individuals separate from our brothers and sisters. And he wants us to switch to the objective decision making method, which is what can we do that will give everybody a hand up that will make life better for everyone. Now those are simplistic characterizations, but you need to understand how important it was. Not only then, but is now when God or when Jesus is going to the cross, he says, th will be not. My Willy will be done because that is the important thing for man to know and to do doing God’s will discerning it is what Jesus came to help us with.

All right? So I looked up things to help you to separate the words of man versus the word of God. Last week, we talked about the red letter editions of the Bible, where Jesus’s words are printed in red and everybody else’s is in either blue or black, depending on the addition you have. And they did that for a reason because as I, as the Bible has told us, we humans have a problem. Separating the voices of man from the voices of God, religion, all religion are the voices of man. God had no religion did not approve of religion. Jesus was killed by religious authorities.

People put religion between them and God and then worship the religion. So this evening, I’m going to go back to John three. It’s the part where Nicodemus was a Pharisee member of the Jewish council. And he came to him at night because he didn’t wanna be seen and said, rabbi, we know that God has sent you as a teacher. No one can perform the miracles you perform, unless God is with him. Jesus replied to Nicodemus this 33 and understand how important these next words are. I can guarantee this truth. Whenever Jesus starts off a sentence with that, it is not only him speak. He is speaking as God’s representative here on earth. He’s the son of man, but he’s also God’s representative here on earth.

I can guarantee this truth. No one can see God’s kingdom without being born, born from above. And of course, Nicks ask him, how can anyone be born when he’s an old man? He can’t go back inside his mother a second time to be born. Can he? Now we may think he’s being F at this point, but he may just not have understood. Jesus answered Nicodemus verse five. I can guarantee this truth. No one can enter God’s kingdom without being born of water. And the spirit will come back to this flesh and blood, give birth to blood, but the spirit gives birth to things that are spiritual.

Don’t be surprised when I tell you that all of you must be born from above now. What did Jesus mean? No one can enter God’s kingdom without being born of water in the spirit. You have to make the commitment publicly. You have to make the commitment to serve as an Sary of Jesus. How do you do that? Do you just say, oh yeah, sure. Sounds like a good idea. No, you have to go in public amongst your friends and those who believe as you do that, God is with Jesus and has given him the authority to baptize people. And what do we mean by baptize? We mean to wash away their sins.

Once the holy spirit is introduced, no one can enter God’s kingdom without being born of water and the spirit. So the water alone does not change you, but is a visual representation of your sins being washed away. Once you have made the change from subjective, personal desire, decision making to objective for the benefit of all mankind decision making. This is the second time Jesus said I can gear guarantee this truth. Verse 10, Jesus told Nicodemus. You’re a well known teacher of Israel. Can’t you understand this? And of course the answer was no. And another time Jesus said, I can guarantee this truth. We know what we’re talking about. And we confirm what we’ve seen yet. You don’t accept our message. If you don’t believe me. When I tell you about things on earth, how will you believe me? When I tell you about things in heaven, no one has gone to heaven. Evan accept the son of man who came from heaven, verse 14. This is John three. As Moses lifted up the snake on a pole in the desert. So the son of man must be lifted up. Then everyone who believes in him will have a terminal life now because this conversation started out spiritually and didn’t veer off into factual, physical commitment until the baptism, after being touched by the spirit.

It’s easy to see why a lot of people think that this is only the spiritual realm that Jesus is speaking about. Verse 16, we all know by heart, God loved the world. This way. He gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him will not buy, but will have eternal life. God sent his son into the world, not to condemn the world, but to save the world. And yet we still think that Jesus is only here to save our individual souls. After we have died, that is not the case. The salvation that Jesus was speaking of was to save the world. All of the world, all of humanity, not just those who believed in him and died a physical death. The only way you can save the world is by saving those who are alive on it.

Those who believe in him won’t be condemned. But those who don’t believe are already condemned because they don’t believe in. God’s only son. Now the term belief here is used over and over because that was the easiest way to characterize it. It’s actually deeper than that. If you accept the holy spirit, you are transformed. It is not merely a belief that you have. You have switched from being only human or just human, to being a born again. Human. Now the religious people have pushed this and their explanation for this for 1800 years now. And that’s because that’s what they believed.

And this is the people. This is the reason that people are having a hard time. Verse 19. Again, John three, this is why people are condemned. The light came into the world. Yet people love the dark rather than the light, because their actions were evil. People who do what is wrong, hate the light. And don’t come to the light. This is Jesus words. They don’t want their actions to be exposed, but people who do what is true, come to the light so that the things they do for God may be clearly seen. The rest of the chapter. Two is about John talking about Jesus, pardon me? Chapter three.

And this is the crux of the problem just as I did with my three year old brother, I assumed facts, not in evidence because I had accepted them as fact that the only way Superman could be killed would be with kryptonite. So my belief system and that of my brother when I was five and he was three was not shaken because there was us a way for these things to coexist and saddened though, we were, it was something we had to accept. This is the problem with setting up a belief system that is based on opinion, no matter whose opinion, whether is the opinion of people 1800 years ago, or the opinion of people two months ago or less. When you accept other human opinions, as fact, you are going down a path that can only lead to destruction.

Jesus told us the is God told us this. Moses told us this. Every, every even Amos who’s one of the minor prophets told us that I think it’s aim is five, four. I’m gonna have to look it up where he says search for God. If you wish to live, we all have belief systems, multiple belief systems. We grow into them and grow up with them. And everybody condones them and says to us, yes, that’s the proper belief system for you to have. And people get burned with it all the time, believing that if they do their part in the belief system, others will do their part and be, have just as much integrity as they have. And of course we know that is not true, not even close.

The only thing you can be sure of is that humans will disappoint. They disappoint other humans every day. They disappoint God every every day. The point is not to continue to do this willingly work at trying to understand what it is that God wants of you for you and from you, right? If you live by a belief system and you are doing everything that you think is correct, then you feel righteous about your actions. Within that belief system, we just had a trial where three men got in a pickup truck can chase down a guy that was running because he had been seen next, next to an area that had been burglarized, whether they assumed it was him or just wanted to talk to him or whatever, it didn’t go. Well, they did not have the authority and he did not have patience. And because of it, he is dead. And I think all three of ’em are gonna be in jail for a long time. They felt righteous in what they were doing because of the belief systems that they had.

Now, if they were Christian, they would’ve understand under they would’ve understood that they are to treat him as they treat themselves. Doesn’t mean put yourself second. It just means don’t put yourself first, give him as good an opportunity as you would like to have. It’s not due unto others before they do unto you. It’s due unto others, as you would have them do unto you. And that’s the crux. That’s the crossroads. That’s the point that you need to reach in order to cross over and go from subjective to objective. Now you will always always be in touch much with the world through the subjective decision making practices. When you wanna get ahead of somebody in line or driving a car or whatever, whenever you wanna put yourself in front of someone else, for whatever reason, and you consider your needs higher than theirs, when you don’t even know their needs, then that is a subjective decision that you have made. You will always have that them with you, you were born with it. You grew it over however many years old you are now. And Jesus has said, the only way to save humanity is to switch to the objective decision making system and to, and enlighten ever everyone as to why you’re doing it, what can be gained from it?

And when you are on that same page, you will naturally tone down the subject of decision making. And that is exactly what Jesus wanted from you. He didn’t say don’t be, he said, make decisions correctly. Instead of judging by outward appearances. Now that correctly means that the ends will support everyone, not us. The benefit to you, whatever you do will improve everybody’s opportunities to live, learn, love, and mature. God loves you, but he cannot grow up for you. You are the ones that have to make the transition. You want to, you have to want it bad enough to work at it. And to understand what it is that you were doing, then make the commitment to doing it. And by so doing, you have lit another light in the darkness.

And by taking the message to other people, giving the them the opportunity to light their own lights. You’re pushing back the dark as verse 19 of John three said, this is why people are condemned. The light came into the world. Yet people love the dark other than the light, because their actions were evil. People who do what is wrong, hate the light. And don’t come to the light. They don’t want their actions to be exposed, but people who do what is true, come to the light so that the things they do for God, a B clearly seen.

So that’s the decision that you need to make. Am I willing to work, to discern what it is that God wants of me? And then am I willing to work at fulfilling God’s faith? in me in the entire human race, because Jesus has laid it out for us. It is only by switching over to the objective decision making method, which makes it easy to do the right thing because you don’t even think of what the wrong thing is. You might look at it and say, wow, in the past, I might have done this and that because it would make me look good or feel good. Other people would say how wonderful I am, but making the choice to do the right thing for the right reason. that is God’s choice. And you make that once you have switched over to objective decision making.

So we are 6,000 years into our maturation program here on planet earth. For whatever reason, the religious people have pushed down everyone’s throat that we are a one off that no other humans exist anywhere else. And that this is, we are the only ones that have gotten this opportunity from God and about all the millions of sons and billions of sons out there that we were told about. We’re the only ones that’s ridiculous. Why would you accept a human being’s ignorant words on that? Again, facts, not in evidence. They’re not facts. They’re surmises. So we need to look into what it is that God wants of us in depth, so that we understand the entirety of the program that we want to sign up for under the auspices of Jesus. And we need to separate the well-intentioned. In many instances, words of humans, from what God said and what Jesus said, and they said it for our benefit.

So we need to understand that, well, our time is coming to a close, and I want you to understand the, the importance of not just believing on Jesus, but in doing what he did. He said, no, man, go with unto as the father, but by doing, as I do. And that’s it for those of us who wish to be Christians and wish to save humanity, not just our own skins, we need to get with the program and understand what it is that we’re doing and why we’re doing it and why God has instructed Jesus to inform of this. So that’s a, this with this, I end the month of November, we’ll start December next, Tuesday, December and January, the last of this first year. Thank you all. And I’ll speak with you next week. Good night.
