The friends and the enemies.

Blog

I am José Galindo. This blog exists to challenge dogmas that for centuries were imposed on peoples as if they were absolute truth. Many of those ideas did not spread through the strength of reason, but through the weight of power, tradition, and, in other times, even by the sword. Here I analyze texts and doctrines to question what few dare to examine. If you seek to think for yourself and examine what others accept without asking, this channel is for you and will give you a guideline to detect even more lies than those I detected, and perhaps it will even encourage you to create your own blog to warn people who do not deserve to be deceived.

Teachings of Cleobulus of Lindos, a Greek thinker of the 6th century BC: “Do good to your friends and to your enemies, for in this way you will preserve the former and be able to attract the latter.” “Any man, at any moment in life, can be your friend or your enemy, depending on how you behave toward him.” Teachings of Jesus Christ? Matthew 5:44 “…do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who insult you and persecute you…” Matthew 7:12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the law and the prophets. The law and the prophets command to treat each person as he deserves; the wicked does not deserve good treatment according to the law: Deuteronomy 19:18 And the judges shall inquire diligently; and if that witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely, 19 then you shall do to him as he thought to do to his brother; so you shall remove the evil from among you. And if we speak of prophets, according to the prophet Nahum: Nahum 1:2 “The Lord is a jealous and avenging God; the Lord is full of vengeance and wrath. He takes vengeance on his adversaries and reserves wrath for his enemies.” Did Jesus really present God as an example to abandon the principle of “an eye for an eye”? Matthew 5:45 “…so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven, who makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” According to Genesis 19:23–24: “The sun was rising over Sodom, over the wicked (Genesis 13:13); shortly afterward, God rained fire and brimstone upon the wicked…” Do not ask whether Jesus spoke of a different God; ask why Rome did so. They preach: “Blessed are the poor… woe to you who are rich.” But then they ask people for tithes, or sell them “sacraments,” and live like the rich. And they also say: “Give as an act of faith.” Faith in what? In God… or in the words of emperors behind the councils? And tell me something else: do you consider it wise to offer the other cheek to the enemy? If we say yes… then was “an eye for an eye” never wise? Shall we say that God is perfect, but also that He makes mistakes and denies His own laws? And meanwhile… do they not ask you for tithes while preaching “give to anyone who asks you”? The false beggar is grateful for that teaching of the false prophet. But the false prophet does not thank me for this teaching, because it exposes him. Tell me, do you really believe that the desire of the righteous is that their wicked enemies strike them on the other cheek? Matthew 13:47 Likewise, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and gathered fish of every kind; 48 and when it was full, they drew it ashore; and sitting down, they gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away. 49 So it will be at the end of the age: the angels will come forth and separate the wicked from among the righteous, 50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Psalms 112:10 The wicked shall see it and be grieved; he shall gnash his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish. No message, however wise and just it may be, pleases everyone; for some reason Rome persecuted one, did it not? However, there are those who believe that this same message ceased to displease it and ended up becoming its official religion, as if Rome had changed… If it did not change, then Rome spread the word of the slanderer, the word of Satan, because the word of God never pleased it. Remove the wings from the false angel Michael and you will see a Roman legionary, sword in hand, saying: “If you want protection, pray kneeling before my statue. Submit to our authority” (Romans 13:1), “do not resist the evil we do to you” (Matthew 5:39), and “if we take what is yours, do not demand it back” (Luke 6:30). Do you really believe that Jesus said that, and not the empire that crucified him and then bore false witness against him? Word of Zeus: “Those who worshiped me ate pork (2 Maccabees 6, 2 Maccabees 2:7); that must not change… I will send my servants to say that Jesus and his followers said that eating pork no longer defiles a man (Matthew 15:11, Luke 10:9, 1 Timothy 4:1–5), and that he looked like me, so that my servants will continue to worship my image, for mine will say that his followers asked that he be worshiped (Hebrews 1:6, 2 Thessalonians 2). He came to fulfill the law and the prophets (Matthew 5:17–18). But I came to abolish the law and the prophets, and to usurp Yahweh, his God (Deuteronomy 4:3–8, Psalms 97:1–7, Exodus 20:3–5).” Word of Satan: “Love your enemy, so that the tyrant who robs you and worships my image may sleep peacefully.”

The friends and the enemies.

If you consider the enemies of innocent children to be your enemies, who would ask us to love them?

Do you believe that teaching truly came from the faithful Son of God just because the Bible attributes that teaching to him?

Have you considered that, in order to contain the texts it does today, these texts had to be filtered through the eyes of Roman emperors? Do you trust that the Roman emperors, notorious for their pedophilic practices, were truthful?

Look at these two images and prepare for the message that follows.

Notice the strange similarity between the face attributed to Jesus and the face of Zeus. But also consider what the myth says about Zeus. How could Jesus physically resemble the one who, according to the myth, sexually abused Ganymede before he reached adulthood?

Note also how in Greece they considered wise someone who preached love for enemies. Considering that the worshippers of Zeus ate pork, and that the religion of Jesus' people forbade eating pork, how could Jesus have actually resembled the Greek god, preached a teaching that a Greek philosopher had already held centuries earlier, and, to top it all off, be told that eating pork no longer defiles a person and that his followers preached the same thing (Matthew 5:11; 1 Timothy 6:1-5)?

I see syncretism here: an adaptation of the original message pursued by Rome to make it fit with Greco-Roman tastes.

Let us remember that around 120 BC, Jews of the same faith in which Jesus grew up were tortured by Zeus worshippers for refusing to eat pork, as they respected a commandment from God that forbade it (2 Maccabees 7; 2 Maccabees 6; Deuteronomy 14:8). Does it make sense that this happened only for God, through his messenger, to later annul that law?

That makes no sense.

It also wouldn't make sense to assume that the Roman persecutors respected the integrity of the messages of the Law and the prophets before Jesus. If you see things that don't add up, I've already given you an explanation of why.

If we consider that the Roman emperors were the ones who had the power to decide which texts would circulate and which would not, does it make sense to assume that they left intact the messages that denounced them or that contradicted their interests?

Notice that they worshipped statues of Jupiter (the Roman equivalent of Zeus ). Isn't it strange that the Bible says in Hebrews 1 about Jesus—whom they associated with the face of Jupiter— "let all the gods worship him" ?

Consider that it is said in Deuteronomy 4 that God did not appear as a human being or in any other form precisely to avoid idolatry. Furthermore, Psalm 97 speaks only of God being worshipped.

Then the question arises: how would God ask that a mortal creature who died on the cross be worshipped?
