The Contradictive Christ of the American Bible

Hell and all of its humanistic -ologies.

When we look at the “Biblical English’s” face value, such as the KJV/ NIV/ ASB/ ESV, etc.., we are guaranteed to ‘see’ contradictions. The reason for these contradictions is this: the English and American languages carry a 2+ thousand year gap from the original Biblical speakers. That is, intended social transmissions for communication were participated in the day that they were spoken.

Any culture’s language fits their own social construct. Therefore, we are not a Greek speaking society in America or England and do not think like an Alexandrian or Ist century Greek speaking citizen. Nowhere today, including modern Israel, is there a remnant Ancient Middle Eastern Hebrew speaking society referencing an interfering God who comes out of pillars of fire or through His prophets 2,900 years ago–though. I’m sure some cults might attempt to argue that failingly.

Suffice to say, we have pockets of Greek and Hebrew culture in America and England, but the modern Koine Greek and modern Koine Hebrew is molded to modern times and is thus far removed from the ancient cultures from which the Bible was born.

On the adversus of ancient semiotics, that is, *agreement with linguistic expressions in their social confines of ancient times* These seemingly contradictory verses are rooted in actualities or instantiations that make sense within, by, from, to, for us concerning our particular Semiotic references. This might be why it is so hard to *participate* in an ancient and foreign sentence that denotes that we are dead nouns activated by the Verb of intensity that rushes upon us—-another way to say it: *God*– in HIS motion upon us. This ancient Near East way of thinking COUNTERS THE “US causing to BE”.

If brought to a modern Christian, these ancient antinomies -or seemingly irreconcilable contradictions- are sadly and abhorrently thrown out as dismissed representations of a bygone era no longer needed to convey God to a modern church. Modern ministers who do such injustice to the original Scripture are devoid and devoid others of the Ancient Hebrew and Greek which held their ancient social configurations into a fixed semiotic gridlock. Most importantly, this Western action uproots the very core of God as the VERBS OF CAUSATION, A.K.A. – “YHVH”, “EYEH”, “EL”, or “YA”.

Sadly, the depth of western presbyters seems to lack more than triumph in efforts to convey these FOUNDATIONAL foreign Theological syntagma and the paradigms for which they are beset. We are left to our western CONNOTATIONS which participate as a grammatically, Theologically and socially “idolatrous” Occidental culture. God is no longer the Verb and we are no longer the Noun of His Glory, rather, WE have become the VERB that Rushes upon our IDEA of the Paper Christs we make. That is, we have made

ourselves the “verbs of action” that can “move upon God” and change His Eternal Will. We, in perverting the Scripture to the Western or Occidentally mode of social and linguistic grammar, are now – in our imaginations – the written characters in the Book which can jump off the page and ask vehemently, “What are YOU DOING!?!”.

Everyone has a ‘worldview’ but that doesn’t mean that they are scientifically or Theologically more advanced. It only means that they ‘participate’ within their means to a delegated social environment . Everyone has a language by which they respond or react to. Our participations within the configurations given to us carry over built in reactions. Words are the agents for all of this social transmission.

If the English/ American ‘grammatical numbers’ are skewed then how can you trust that a culture of social and semiotic relativism can add its seeming 2 plus 2 to equal 4? That is, how about if there is something else behind the “2s”? How about if each “2” was a REPRESENTATION of “two sets of 9”? And, the “9s” were representing the 9 efforts for counting the stars of differing constellations?

We cheaply “represent” a semiotically multi-layered text for its face value alone – leaving the Western *CONNOTATIONS* to ensue. We have now “accepted” into our Western societies a “Normalcy” to these perversions. Giving ‘credence’ to the Appellate of Christ, we dismantle the Verb, the Authority, aka, the NAME of Christ. Moreover, many Western ministers are proud of their so called “”Orthodoxies”” and condemn *any foreign thought* to their Numinous or Spiritual *configurations*. I dare not say, “Theologies”, lest I conform somehow to giving credit to sinful chaos that could never obtain an -ology or ‘reasonable categorical assemblage’. I just can’t.

So, where am I headed with this? Well, I’ve already made a point good enough for a morning devotional (the kind that gouges error out of us). But, I’m headed somewhere. I’m leading up to a world of “English and American contradictions” that we cannot help but face in the various English and American Bibles. I’m leading us to wonder, “How is it possible to continue with a corrupt text, ancient – incomplete thought patterns that follow all the way to a posible *contradictory god figure*. Here, if this were true, we SHOULD lose faith in this all too humanistic god written by many people over a millenia.

IF the Occidental Scripture’s representations of God and His people lead us from and to something less that full coherency, inerrancy, testation for life’s trials with a perfect world view of WHY all of these trials are happening, marital calibrated terms for endearment of the God who took us and married us with a true Husband’s language, etc. then we have no reason to hang on to fallible antiquity. We should be “face value” with life. Have enough “guts” to “FACE” life and death without resurrection because, isn’t that what we’re doing with the Scripture?!—going ‘head on, FACE on’…like a Bull in a China Shop!

In this piece, I’m bringing up Scriptural passages that do not weigh up when
*face value western connotations* -aka, “western orthodoxies” are applied.
I present to you two terms that will be used selectively throughout this piece: “Aporias”, “Paradox”, “Aleatory Contracts or Clauses”.

1. a)  Aporia: *an irresolvable internal contradiction or logical disjunction in a text, argument, or theory*

2. b)  Paradox:*astatementthisisseeminglycontradictoryoropposedtocommon sense and yet is perhaps true.

3. c)  Aleatory Contract: “a mutual agreement between two parties in which the performance of the contractual obligations of one or both parties upon *AN ACT OF GOD* —-(a.k.a. –a tornado or hurricane destroys your house causing the insurance company *TO ACT* upon something not foreseen by human perception).

4. d) antinomy:*referringtoaREALorAPPARENTmutualincompatibilityoftwolaws —such as, “There is no absolute Truth”. In order to make this an ‘absolute’ truthful statement, one would have to contradict the concept of *absolutism*, hence, nullifying one’s own statement. Or, the Kantian ‘antinomy’: “Free will can’t exist if there is *UNIVERSAL CAUSALITY*” (((–here is a point that we can ONLY answer via a Biblical Hebrew and Greek *combined* mind. For the Hebrew mind looked at Time as shapes or forms. Time was an event that already, is, will happen as a solid form. “IT IS DONE”. “IT IS GOOD”. Like a Buffalo in the water with his hind legs and on the ground with his front legs. He’s ***BOTH*** in the WATER and ON GROUND!!! For, Kant used classical knowledge from Thales forward. Deductive Syllogisms were both a salvation to the world of science and a complete devolved sense to our relationship with God when it was the ONLY approach to “MEANING”…for deductive analysis’ power lie in the ‘classifying’ of objectivity, not the heart’s reason, faith, love, or passion to act prior to complete though or reason. Such is “faith” in science out the window, huh? —better not act on practicing science lest you don’t have reason to know what you’re doing… (a paradox) ))).

Revelation 21:8

“But {di} as for the cowardly {tois deilois} and {kai} the faithless {apistois} and the detestable {ebdelugme’nois}….and…as for murderers {phoneusin} and the sexually immoral {pornois} and sorcerers {pharmakois} and idolaters {eidololatrais} and all {kai pasin} the liars {tois pseudesin}

THEIR PORTION {to’ meros} in the lake {limnos} that burns {kaiomene’} with fire {puri} and sulfur {theio}, which is the second {deuteros} death {thanatos}”.

Who’s not bore any of these traits, even to the present time? I’m referring to Christians for the moment. You’d be a liar if you denied that you didn’t have at least one of these traits. And, being a liar defaults you back to this category of ‘those whose *portion* will burn with fire and sulfur’. I won’t argue the agents of chastisement ( I.e., “fire and sulphur”) in the lake but I will approach the “portion” ( the ‘offending eye or hand’ that is attached to the saved person) that WILL be cast out later.

1. a)  Coward (cowardice/fearfulness) = Greek: “deilia”. In 2 Timothy 1:7 it says, “God has not given us the spirit of *deilia. Yet, in John 14:27, there is instruction given to us to “not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”. Well, if there’s instruction given then there is a directive path to come *from* some state of being *to* another. The early church was being addressed concerning their *Deilia*..in that they should NOT be *deilia*. Does this damn them to hell due to their prior status if they are ‘coming to be’ or ‘coming out of’ *deilia*? No. How are they ‘coming to be’ Christians…”in the Likeness thereof” —by their power? No….., by God’s Predeterminate AND Prognosis (foreknowledge) council before the world began, YES. Romans 8:29 “For those whom He Foreknew He ALSO PREDESTINED (pro’/horisen = ‘set before the light came upon it’) to be conformed (sunmorphous – summed, tied together, joined and shaped into the same) to the image (icon) of HIS Son, IN ORDER THAT HE MIGHT BE THE FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BROTHERS” ….that is, HE, JESUS, will be our Bigger Brother. How SWEET is THAT!!???!!! Let’s continue this passage. :30, “And THOSE WHOM he PREDESTINED HE also called (ekelasen —accou —’sounded out’), and those whom HE called HE also justified (edikaiosen), and those whom HE justified (e’dikaiosen – dike’ = ‘make right/ make straight {versus “sine”/ “curved”) and those whom HE justified HE also glorified (‘edoxsasen’ = “the Shooter/ the bowman/ the Archer who ‘participates in the shot that is already done; in the boule or ballistics co-rightly to make the shot to the bullseye”). The Scripture continues: “What shall we say to these things then?! If God is for us who can be against us? HE WHO did not spare HIS own SON but gave HIM up for US ALL (‘emon panton) how will HE not also with HIM graciously give us all things?! Who shall bring any charge against God’s Elect? IT IS GOD WHO JUSTIFIES. WHO IS TO CONDEMN!?!!?!?!? CHRIST JESUS IS THE ONE WHO DIED (WAS CONDEMNED) —MORE THAN THAT, WHO WAS RAISED – WHO IS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, WHO IS INDEED INTERCEDING FOR US” …. Sigh… please continue on your own to read the rest of Romans!!!

2. b)  Faithless = Greek: “apistos”. John 20:27 – Jesus says, “Be not faithless, but believing..”…. Why would Jesus *instruct* this, command this IF there was not a deficiency of faith? The *apistia* spouse will be INDEED saved by the believing Spouse (1 Corinthians 6: 13, 14). Are there ‘levels’ of being ‘cut off and sent into fiery-sulfuric hell forever? – Well, if there are, then the ‘cut off’ is worse for the man in 1 Timothy 5:8–”for if anyone does not provide for his relatives (idion/ {Genitive; plural; masculine}), and especially for members of his household (oikeion), he has denied the *Pistis* or *Faith*

and IS WORSE THAN AN UNBELIEVER (**APISTOU**). Just to play with this, ‘my relatives’ would ONLY MEAN in the literal Greek: “of my genes, plural, only the males”—just saying! Now, up til their deaths, I took care of my Mom and Dad at our own home, cleaning them, bathing them, wiping them, administering their medications, feeding, clothing, putting them to bed…day after day until there’s nothing left of me. I thought I would die before them. I didn’t. Presently, I’m in the same situation with my mother in law who weighs around 275 lbs, has borderline personality disorder, and is bi-polar. My wife and her brother have been tortured by her since their youth. They still can’t be around her for too long from such trauma that she imposed on them. Her in-laws and friends (minus one) never come over. No one will have her in their home or can. She is vicious and cruel to me. I am the one who takes care of her from 6:30 am until ca 5 pm when my wife gets back. I’m still sharing the load in helping. I have an eighty hour week’s worth of work from home as an online teacher, recording artist, book writer, graphic artist, podcast and website minister, …I have so little time to breathe. I have 3 children under one roof, the aforementioned mother in law and Wife. Am I an infidel (apistia) at 54 if I have done all of these things and something happened to me? Let’s say, God forbid, I was rendered physically incapable of not ‘providing’ this kind of care for my ‘ideon’ = ‘relatives’,PLUS my ‘oikeion’= my own home/ house. Would I be an infidel?!?—-There’s a ***gist*** in this scripture not tackled by the literal fascia in Greek nor English. What is it?…. I’ll tell you what it is: It’s not what the literal says it is. So, where do we go from here then? The ANSWER begs for a different path than ‘looking to condemn’.

c) Detestable Greek: ebdelugmenois. Strongs #948 Titus 1:16 “They profess to know God, but they deny (arnountai) HIM by their works. They are *detestable (bdeluktoi) and disobedient (apeitheis) and unfit (adokimoi) for any good (agathon – beneficial/ productive/ constructive/ wholesome/ whole) work (ergon). How many of you have gone to a Christian Bible school? How many of you have gone to a Christian University? How many of you, if you are in one of these camps, has professed Jesus as Lord but was disobedient in youth, at that time, before life’s lessons, reality, heaviness of loss, destruction beset you?—that is, ALL OF THE THINGS OF “RA’AH” OR *DESTRUCTION* THAT GOD ORDAINED IN YOUR LIFE (ISAIAH 45:7-FF..”I, THE LORD, CREATE BOTH GOOD AND EVIL {WHOLESOMENESS AND CALAMITY} I
THE LORD DO ALL OF THIS FOR MY PURPOSES”. How can we even claim to ‘have done’ the *evil* that we assume is going against God’s WILL? His Sovereign WILL, PATH, PLAN, DIRECTION?!? Wouldn’t this kind of faith actually be demonic?—if “demonic” could actually mean ‘against’ God’s Will. Ephesians 2: 1-4 states that ****ALL (pantes)**** of US, the body of Christians, were sons of wrath (orge’—’rage’) and disobedient (apatheia) <–as Titus 1:16 says in the passage I just quoted for “those who will receive the burning of the lake of fire and sulphur”. Well, isn’t that us? Let’s continue with the context of Ephesians 2 to eliminate any perverted sense that *we had the free will to repent of this *detestable* nature that will be thrown into fire and sulphur. Ephesians 2:4: “But God being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, {vs. 5} EVEN WHEN WE WERE DEAD (NEKROS) IN OUR TRESPASSES, MADE US ALIVE (SUNEDZOPOIESEN) TOGETHER WITH CHRIST — BY GRACE

(CHARITY/ XARITOS) YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED. HMMMMM….. Doesn’t sound like you did anything to ‘cause (ergon)’ your salvation then, huh?. Doesn’t sound like any merit is involved on OUR PART now, does it? Sounds like WE ALL HAVE BEEN *DETESTABLE (ebdelugmenois)* —**earning hell**…. We can’t even “earn” hell, if God is the One who Ordained our salvation! We were *DEAD* and, therefore, NOT CONSCIOUS to make a ***LIVING DECISION*…to “””””choose our own destruction OR salvation**** . Who’s the AUTHOR now of our lives?!

d) Murderers Matthew 5:21 21“You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder (Greek: murder: phoneusin) and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Now, confer to the following passage of 1 Chronicles 22:8: “You (David) have shed much blood and have fought many wars. You are NOT to build a house for MY NAME (SHEM – authority = Greek: Nomos = Name, Authority), because you have shed much blood on earth in my sight”. At what point did David sin the sin of “murder” when he ‘killed’ more than Saul? Yet, David was instructed to kill Philistines in the NAME of God, by GOD, for GOD – 1 Samuel 23:1-25, “David asked the Lord, “should I go and fight these Philistines?” The LORD answered David, “Yes, go attack the Philistines. Save Keilah”. Funny enough, the very next sentence in this verse mentions Israel’s Army’s own “FEAR”—the very ‘character’ that *gets you thrown into hell* in Revelation 21: 8!….. Did Israel’s Army under David go to hell? I mean, let’s stick with the face of the text…let’s be literal or not! It did say that. I’ve answered to their ‘apportionment’ that will and the Christ in them that won’t. Let’s continue. We don’t have to have an accountant, only God’s *REASON* for categorizing David’s heart for having a “PORTION” of it as being ‘murderous’. In the story of the young warrior David and Saul, there was a jealousy that came over Saul because David was a greater killer of enemies than Saul and David was getting recognized by everyone for this skill over King Saul. Within this gift that David had to kill Israel’s enemies, SOMEWHERE, David’s heart received a murderous portion. As the Bible tells us, David could not complete building the temple to God and gave the command to his son, Solomon, to finish it. The reason WHY David could not complete the Temple’s construction was due to David’s “blood lust” –his apportioned murderous heart. God established David as a Great Warrior, nonetheless, “blood-lustful” or “blood on his hands”. At the same time, David had an PORTION (MERIMNA) THAT WAS SAVED—-his heart for God. Do we remember his “Sexual Immorality (porneo)” with Bathsheba that caused a rift through out his home? Isn’t this the same “sexual immorality”–aka “adultery” that *gets you into the eternal fiery lake of sulfur? Hmmmmm….could this “PORTION” of David been purged by the eternal lake of fire? Could this apportionment of necessary narrative sin be burning in, from, by the *eternal (aeones–not adunae) lake now until “all be subdued under God’s hand” (1 Corinthians 15:25—-The Son Himself {Christ Jesus} Will reign until He has put ALL things under His feet)? Will not death and hell be destroyed by HIM?! = Revelation 20:14, “Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death”. There are two births, as Jesus tells us in John 3: . The first is the flesh, the second, the spirit. The ‘book of life’ does account for us, “those that are judged by their deeds are being

purged by the lake of eternal fire” …just as one is ‘baptized’ by an ever flowing river when one walks into its depths (and out again….lest they drown). John 3:14 continues with Jesus saying that “everyone who believes in HIM may have eternal life”… → John 12:32 Jesus: “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, WILL DRAW (Greek: “elkouso” = Strongs 1670 – “DRAG; INDUCE; HAUL”) EVERYONE (Greek: “Pantas” = ALL) * TO MYSELF”. So, if THOSE who ‘are generated to confess Christ and *believe* do not receive death in hell (as ‘modern orthodoxy’ presents), then, we should look to the “THOSE”. WHO are the “THOSE” that *WILL PROFESS JESUS AS LORD? Romans 14:11- “….every knee WILL bow (kampsei) and every tongue WILL confess (‘exs/homo/logesetai {one word}) to God. Following this, Romans 14:13 says, “THEREFORE (oun – now, therefore, going forward), NO LONGER, SHOULD WE JUDGE (a sinful act) because this (thinking) eliminates stumbling blocks and snares for our brothers (and sisters). Backing up to Romans 10:9, “If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Now, did not the latter verse in Romans 14:11 declare that you WOULD do this very thing!?! Yes, it did. It did *by Force of God. How’s that for your freedom to die and burn a miserable eternal death in eternal fire and sulphur. YOU, as you are HIS, will NOT die in hell. The portion, the ‘offending eye’, ‘the offending hand’ —the ‘portions’ of the total you will be “cast into the purge”…but this is a transcendent or meta way to explain the complexity of the VERB, THE GOD, causing the entire Narrative to move forward, be, have been written, and conclude. How do we continue to talk ‘meta’ all day long in our physical tempo?….I say it’s easier because it makes EVERYTHING MAKE SENSE FOR A CHANGE. …I’m speaking as an incomplete–coming to be human.
