On
the night of November 25, 1993, beginning at precisely 11:30pm in the evening
and concluding at precisely 2:00am on the morning of November 26, I, Brother
Ralphie, had a conversation with Angels.
There will be those who will doubt this experience. I can’t do anything about the doubters,
but the fact is that in my own mind this experience was real and in my own
mind, I AM the ONLY proof that this experience actually took place. However, since this experience I have
had conversations about this experience with a number of people who can all
testify to the fact that this experience was real at least to myself.
In
this two and one half hour period of time, I can reduce EVERYTHING the Angels
told me to two simple statements.
One, Jesus died for EVERY sin EXCEPT for the sins of murder and suicide,
and two, if we knew what heaven was like we would be falling all over ourselves
trying to get in. I can only prove
this experience in how I interpret the Bible from cover to cover. It’s easy for me to say that the Bible
proves this by simply interpreting the Bible with this understanding. However, there will be those who do NOT
or will NOT interpret the Bible as I do.
My thinking is that there will be some who will “see.” There will be those who do NOT nor will
they ever “see.”
I
believe that the prophets of the Old Testament, the Apostle Paul, the New
Testament writers, and Jesus Himself all KNEW this was the mystery of God and
that God would judge to eternal damnation all those who purposely have taken
human life. This was the
confrontation between Jesus and the Pharisees, for I believe that the Pharisees
understood that they could take human life if anyone violated any of the Old
Testament laws. Jesus’
confrontation with the Pharisees was, I believe, over the enforcement of the
Old Testament laws. Jesus, I
believe, understood there was only ONE Law of God and that Law was and still is
Human Life. So, I interpret the
parables of Jesus with this understanding. He disagreed with the Pharisees about the reasons why anyone
would be put to death. This is why
the Apostle Paul says in Romans 3:23 that EVERYONE is worthy of death for no
one is righteous before God. The
Apostle Paul knew that as a Christian he no longer could persecute Christians
and put them in prison and that I believe his “thorn in the flesh” was that he
constantly had to remind the new Christians that he never put anyone to death
even though he put people in prisons for what they did.
This
is why the Apostle Paul calls himself the “chief of sinners” as he says in I
Timothy 1:15. The Apostle Paul
knew, I believe, that taking human life was against the one Law of God for
which Jesus Himself did NOT sacrifice Himself on the cross. I believe that Jesus understood He
could NOT have died for the sin of the Pharisees, which was the purposeful
taking of human life. It is why
too that the Pharisees could NOT have been directly responsible for the killing
of Jesus for they could NOT have killed a man they believed to be
innocent. Jesus could NOT have
sinned in ANY manner that would have given reason for the Pharisees to be
justified for the taking of His life.
This is why Jesus could NOT have had one drop of alcohol, for doing so
would have put the whole plan of God’s salvation in jeopardy and would have
been just cause for the Pharisees to say that Jesus was a sinner. This is why Jesus associated Himself
with ALL manner of sinners for none of these people were to have been known to
take a human life.
I
believe therefore than when Nicodemus comes to Jesus by night, so as to not to
have been seen by his peers to speak to Jesus, and asks Jesus how to be saved,
Jesus responds to him in John 3:33 by saying that unless a man is born again he
cannot see the Kingdom of God. Nicodemus then asks him how a man
can be born again if he is old.
Jesus is saying in the rest of this dialogue that in order to be born
again, there is NO other way than to re-enter a mother’s womb with the
knowledge of salvation and start life over again with this knowledge. I believe therefore, that what Jesus is
saying to Nicodemus is that it is impossible to re-enter a mother’s womb and be
born all over again. Jesus did NOT;
I believe, save the soul of Nicodemus for Nicodemus as a leader of the
Pharisees had taken human life and therefore could NOT have been saved.
This
is how I interpret the life and teachings of Jesus. He couldn’t have been accused of ever taking human life and
that if indeed He had not healed, some might suggest that He murdered when He
could have healed. This is what
Mary and Martha were suggesting to Jesus in John 11:32 that if Jesus had been
there, Lazarus would not have died.
They were implying that Jesus in some way was responsible for the death
of Lazarus and Jesus wept, not because of Lazarus having died, but for the lack
of faith of Mary and Martha and for ALL of Israel. Jesus had no other choice but to raise Lazarus from the dead
so as to not be accused of having taken the life of Lazarus by being absent
from where He was needed. They
wanted Him to heal Lazarus, but instead He went to Judea. While He was gone, Lazarus had died. This is why Jesus raised Lazarus from
the dead.
There
is an account where the Pharisees seek to stone a prostitute in John
8:1-11. As Jesus confronts the
Pharisees, he kneels down, picks up a stick, and begins to write in the
dirt. Some have speculated as to
what Jesus wrote; even suggesting that he wrote the names of the Pharisees in
the dirt. I would suggest that it
had nothing to do with what he was writing, but that He was simply averting the
attention they had on the prostitute to Himself. They wanted to know what He was doing. And by this simple act, He disarms the
Pharisees and then says in John 8:7, “He who is without sin among you cast the
first stone.” We know what happens
after this. The Pharisees depart
and then Jesus turns to the prostitute and asks, “Woman where are your
accusers?” I am sure she felt that
Jesus was worthy enough to stone her and she feared for her life in front of
Jesus, and when she says no one is there, Jesus says to her, “I don’t accuse
you either. Go and sin no
more.” What Jesus is saying to her,
is that if the Pharisees catch her again in the act of prostitution, they WOULD
kill her; and more than likely He wouldn’t be there to protect her the next
time.
Now,
some have suggested that my interpretation of these events is like a leap of
faith in that I arrive at a conclusion without really developing my thinking as
to how I arrive at these conclusions.
Well, once again, I bring your attention to something I claim the Angels
told me. Jesus died for EVERY sin
except for the sins of murder and suicide. Jesus could not have been accused of murder. We know that He didn’t commit suicide,
because He died on the cross and the fact that the Romans didn’t break His legs
is proof that Jesus was definitely dead on the cross.
This
concludes my introduction to the life and teachings of Jesus, as He understood
His ministry from what I have claimed to be taught by my Angels. Jesus knew He was NOT to have died for
the sin of the Pharisees, which was the sin of murder. This is the conflict Jesus had with the
Pharisees. They believed in
carrying out the Old Testament Law to the greatest extent believing that in
doing so, they were ushering in the Kingdom of God. Jesus knew they were acting on behalf of Satan by murdering
sinners knowing that they themselves were just as guilty as the ones they put
to death. This is why the
Pharisees sought to kill Jesus and did everything in their power to catch Him
in any sin they could knowing that ANYONE who said he or she was the son or
daughter of God could be put to death for blasphemy. But Jesus was sinless.
And He died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice because there was no sin
in Him. Jesus knew His
mission. It wasn’t on the cross
where Jesus suffered, but in the Garden where He wasn’t sure He had done the
perfect will of God. It wasn’t
until Judas came with the soldiers and kissed Jesus that Jesus knew He had done
the perfect will of God and was indeed the perfect sacrifice for the world.
If
Jesus had been guilty of ANY sin, Judas would NOT have betrayed Him and
further, Judas would NOT have hung Himself over the death of a man worthy of death. If there were ANY sin in Jesus He would
have died the death of one guilty of sin.
But as it was, He was put to death sinless so that the world would know
of God’s salvation. It’s not what
we do in order to be saved, but what we don’t do. However, to live a life of Peace is to be willing to die as
Jesus died. He died without having
ever taken the life of any other, or even be accused of having done so. This is why He healed. He wasn’t able to take life, but to
give life and by His death and resurrection, we don’t have to die on our sins,
but live by His Grace and die receiving eternal life. Peace.
