Strange question, you will say.  Let us add one more to make it interesting: did he fail?  And if you say he succeeded, why are we in the mess we’re in? 

Welcome aboard topic, the most brilliant people of the world would like to answer.  In an earlier article, perhaps a year ago, someone said: “Bring us the man who could help us gather the whole world without a fight, be he a demon or a god, we’ll take him.”  Imagine if he had lived, that man, or perhaps he did, which is why that the world is not under the bondage of the Roman Empire.  How else would the Roman Empire fail and disappear unless it was defeated?

If the Roman Empire, for some would have been or is the Roman Catholic Church, so if it was they would be responsible for a so-called “civilization” and self-destruction, which it seems to look like toady, like self-destruction.  All Churches look as self-destruction.

If we look in the Scriptures when Jesus said, after the apostles asked him: “Who is this man over there who preaches just like you, who does miracles just like you?  We know it’s not you because you’re with us.  We also know that he didn’t learn from you because he’s never been with us.”  So does that mean that if the Apostles were impressed by recognizing the same work in two different men, so could one of these two men have been the one that could have made it or perhaps did make it and no one knows?

Jesus replied to their question: “If he speaks good of me and is against me, therefore he speaks against himself.  And any kingdom divided among itself, perhaps a house that is divided cannot stand.”  So who were these two men: Jesus and the other one whose name was never mentioned, and imagine, he had the same power but we never knew his name but he did the very same things as Jesus.

Did you know that in Jerusalem back then, there were barely any tall cedar trees left in Lebanon?  Because they were all put up as crosses all over Jerusalem as a deterrent against the government.  Isn’t that strange that the trees of Lebanon were in Israel?  I wonder if it’s a softwood deal like the American and Canadians (Softwood lumber issue, when now they are warring each other).

Let us gat to the answers to the title:

Was Jesus’ teaching powerful enough to change the world, if we look at it today?  The answer is that he already did it and no one knows!  No, I’m not referring to the dying on the Cross – let’s say that was the religious side of it out of love for you and me.  Was he a radical?  Not bad if you say that he was because he made Pontius Pilate come out publicly and hail him as a good man when there was nothing wrong with him.  And even begging the crowd to accept him!  It would be like asking George Bush to say that his opponent is better than him.  And even to raise his hand and to offer to free him, to help him get out of prison because he believes in him.  What politician has ever been able to wipe out his opposition to the point of making them raise his hand as a better man?

Did Jesus fail?  No.  The people did, because Pontius Pilate was to cross the floor with the Jews had they accepted Jesus.  “There’s nothing wrong with this man.”  And further more, when Jesus said, “I am here to bear witness to the truth.”  To the fact that this is how you reach the heart of the Emperor, without a fight and if the whole world agreed with that truth that Pontius Pilate agreed to, we would now be living the time of peace upon earth.

Through all of this, the barbaric Roman empire took hold of his teachings and started a soft-conversion that lead to the breakdown of the Roman Empire and to carry on the Mission of Christ, beaus he said: “I am here to show you the way.”  So any man that will follow his guidance as he did from his Father, our Heavenly Father, one man could change the world.  Imagine when two decide and three makes it impossible to stop, so go 4 it and it will happen! 

This is what this Mission is about – not titles nor monies but removing all borders that divide people, beginning by the family and anything that destroys family and we’ll go to this good man’s words: “Anyone that hurts a little child, if only by his or her example, will be better off to put a millstone to his neck and find the deepest ocean.”  How little did he mean, a little child? As far as when it is still a seed.

So imagine, destroying them in the womb, at war, on the streets of Israel or Lebanon, or Rwanda – where the women and children are being torn to pieces by the men of both sides who care not about their own flesh while they sit in bunkers.  Perhaps their names are Archie Bunker, criticizing anything that they have made, become: the trash that they are. 

Could one person change the world?  It’s been proven.  And it’s an easy record to match.  Simply follow his way: “I am the way: truth and life.” 

Anyone interested in much deeper devotion to understanding the great gift of the Holy Spirit, you may write to us and we will have a special DVD to send to you at no cost but the mailing, if it’s not asking too much.  We’ll take care of the plastic.  One condition: you have the right to copy and pass it on.  Then you will see it happen, not knowing that you are the one person who could make a difference in the world.

Thank you for loving me so. As I love you, love one another.
