Jesus didn't say 'I am the truth', nor did he baptize with water... Water doesn't set you free, it's not the truth that liberates because it's not information that takes you out of deception.
Baptism: a real need or a BUSINESS that thrives on making you believe you need it?
Posted by @JoseGalindoMMXXVI
Water doesn't teach you how those who hide the truth deceive you… Who told you that the truth sets everyone free? If the truth about a swindler is known, he is arrested; that is not freedom for him…
Jesus could not have said that he is the truth. First, because truth is information, and a man is not a message. He is a creature who can deliver a message; the message, if it is true, is what liberates.
Second, if Jesus had said that he is the truth, it wouldn't be consistent, but absurd. God wouldn't have chosen an inconsistent person to be his servant. Freedom is not bowing the knee to anything or anyone to pay homage.
But the Roman Empire did not want free men, but men on their knees before its statues and its servants.
The baptism business needs lies; it needs excuses, just like everyone needs excuses for their water.
But think logically: water doesn't wash away ignorance. It can wash away dirt from your body, it can quench your thirst, but it doesn't take away the ignorance that the con artist needs you to have in order to manipulate you and get your money and obedience.
If Rome captured the message it pursued, why should we believe that it then respected it and transmitted it, giving honor to the truth and not to its own empire?
Some messages in the Bible, even though it includes falsehoods from the Empire, can provide logical evidence for what I'm saying:
John 8:32: “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Does this sound consistent with saying, “You will know me and be free because I am the truth”?
If that were the case, Jesus would have been born mute, because with that argument it would be enough to know him, even without hearing or reading his message, to be free.
This could not have been said by Jesus, but by a Rome hostile to the original message; a Rome that wished to impose idolatry instead of the truth:
John 14:6: “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”
Let us then examine what provides freedom from these deceptions of Rome, and to whom that freedom is granted:
Proverbs 11:9: “With his mouth the hypocrite destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous are delivered.”
The righteous are the chosen people; they are the only ones capable of recognizing and valuing the coherence of truth.
Daniel 12:1: “At that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until that time. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.”
John 17:17: “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.”
A man is not the word of God; a man cannot be a message, but a messenger. A messenger is not the same as the one who sends him.
Isaiah 6:8-9: “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’ He said, ‘Go and tell this people: “Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.”’”
People with contradictory thoughts do not understand, but those with coherent thoughts do. Since slander is an injustice and causes contradictory testimonies, the unjust, as practitioners of slander, neither understand nor love the coherence of truth; only the righteous do.
Daniel 12:10: “Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.”
Would Jesus ask for the same thing as Satan?
