Why do the teachings of Cleobulus appear as gospels in the Bible? What kind of scam is this?

 The Greek sage versus the coherent man: when 'wisdom' is exposed as foolishness

Isaiah 29:13

“Therefore the Lord said: Because this people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is nothing more than a commandment of men that has been taught to them;

Isaiah 29:14

therefore, behold, I will again cause the astonishment of this people with a great and dreadful wonder; for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall vanish.”

The Greek sage versus the coherent man: when “wisdom” is exposed as foolishness

"The Greek sage spoke… and attentive ears listened: “Do good to your friends and to your enemies… thus you will keep some and attract others.” “Any man, at any moment in life, can be your friend or your enemy, depending on how you conduct yourself with him.”

Were we not told that Jesus said very similar things?

It turns out that these phrases were spoken by Cleobulus of Lindos, one of the so-called Seven Sages of Greece, in the 6th century before Christ… more than 500 years before Jesus.

Curious… isn’t it?

Not only are very similar words later attributed to Jesus —Matthew 5:44—, but it is also claimed that these teachings summarize “the law and the prophets” —Matthew 7:12—… yet the law says in Deuteronomy 19:18-19: “you shall do to the false witness as he intended to do.” And the prophet Nahum says in Nahum 1:2: “God is a jealous and avenging God… and reserves wrath for his enemies.” Nothing about rewarding enemies.

So then…

could it be that an aggressive Rome, confronted with the Jews and their king, never wanted “an eye for an eye”… because it killed the king of the Jews?

Isn’t it obvious that Rome never wanted to be reached by the justice of that law?

The Greek also said: “Moderation is best.”

And it is written:
Ecclesiastes 7:16: “Do not be overly righteous… nor excessively wise.”
Ecclesiastes 7:17: “Do not be overly wicked…”

But it is also written:
Proverbs 9:9: “Give to a wise man, and he will be wiser…”
Revelation 22:11: “He who is righteous, let him practice righteousness still…”

So then…

moderation… or justice without limit?

If Jesus had faced the Greek…
surely his words would sound like this:

And how can you speak of justice… if you want to abolish “an eye for an eye”… the very thing that troubles the murderer? Was God unjust when He established “an eye for an eye”?

If the enemies of the righteous are the unjust… who would ask them to love them… if not another unjust man? If you have nothing just to say… then step down from the platform."

"And that is the same thing Michael would say to the impostor: to the god Mars, whom the Romans called “Michael,” but who demands that one not resist the evil he causes and that the image of that Roman legionary be worshiped.

Were it not the Roman legionaries who arrested Jesus to crucify him?

Today, the false Michael asks people to pray to him, prostrate before his image, not with their own mouth, but with that of his prophets."

The message of Michael would be: "cheek for cheek," for Michael, as a friend of justice, would never rebel against Yahweh and His law:

"Mars, if you preached that one must offer the other cheek to the enemy, then lead by example and offer me now your other cheek."

There is a people, and that people is not all humanity, that does know justice.

Isaiah 51:7 Hear me, you who know righteousness, people in whose heart is my law. Do not fear the reproach of men, nor be dismayed at their insults. 8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

Precisely in favor of that people Michael rises, not for all humanity, because God loves only His friends, and not His enemies; therefore He sends Michael only on behalf of the righteous:

Daniel 12:1 At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time; but at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book."
