5. The real reason God sent Christ to Earth ---
Since the founding of Christianity nearly 2000 years ago, only a select number of people have correctly, and fully, understood the actual underlying reason and justification for the Christian religion. This seems absolutely impossible, extremely improbable, and very preposterous, but sadly, this staggering claim is true. Today, nobody really knows the God-given reason for Christ’s mission to the Jewish people in the first century. Over the past millennia, the spiritual rationale that explains the seven year assignment of Jesus to Judea vanished from public consciousness since it has been quietly buried under a thick blanket of false belief, false supposition, and false teaching.
In this regard, most people are like lemmings; they just follow the crowd in mindless lockstep, even when it is moving in the wrong direction and marching over the cliff. Human beings hate isolation, and desperately seek to be loved, so to avoid all conflict, they generally do not argue … they do not question … they just go along to get along. The inherent psychological make-up of man actively supports and fosters this type of weak, acquiescent behavior. Regrettably, this human weakness (or the hierarchical human need of ‘love and belonging’ according Abraham Maslow) has been further aggravated by an unforgivable and blind acceptance of clearly forged and visibly corrupted Bible scripture, none of which understandably explains the true purpose of Christ’s earthly visit. This sinful deed was officially approved, and then signified by an imprimatur placed inside the cover of the Vulgate Bible when it was accepted as the Holy Scripture by a 5th century Pope. Now, due to that egregious blunder, people falsely believe they possess the one and only ultimate truth about Jesus Christ … when in fact they don’t. Compounding this issue of truth within Bible scripture, nothing surpasses the hubris of man, especially among the self-righteous. As such, only monolithic belief and uniform practice are allowed to exist in the pews of most churches, so the endless pages of forged scripture are transformed into the inspired word of God and solo independent rational thought is identified as heresy. Evidence of this fact, (even today in the twenty-first century), is abundantly clear. For instance, there are about 2.4 billion Christians through-out the world, yet from this large number, probably only a smidgen, or a handful, of these self-ascribed faithful people scattered across the globe can correctly answer this simple question:
Why did Christ come to Earth?
The answer to this question reveals the rationale of Christianity, so knowledge of the answer is essential and absolutely mandatory for a deep understanding of the religion. However, close to 99.9999999% of all respondents will answer incorrectly, thus demonstrating that Christianity is only a pretense in their unfulfilled lives. They adamantly insist that Jesus came to Earth in order to save them by dying for their sins (i.e. to shed his blood for the forgiveness of man’s sins). But, this monotonous refrain is wrong -- woefully wrong since it is primarily based on the false verses of Lucius that are inscribed into the gospels, acts, and epistles plus an inaccurate and incomplete reading of St Paul’s epistle (First Corinthians 15:3). People seem to believe that these apostolic verses, which are robotically and religiously misquoted time after time after time will miraculously become true after 2000 years of constant repetition.
In any event, a person can’t be identified as a Christian if he doesn’t even possess an inkling of knowledge about the reason God sent Christ on a mission to earth … it defies all logic and rational thought, but nonetheless, this lack of understanding has been the on-going situation for nearly two millennia. Pious words are no substitute for cold hard facts which substantiate the true purpose of the seven year mission of Jesus on Earth. And yet, without knowing the basic facts that represent the essential, rudimentary, and fundamental issues regarding Christianity, prideful Christians still boast to be avid followers of Jesus, while castigating others for their unbelief about the verses and events described in the Bible. However, the truth of the issue is this: Christianity would not exist except for the fact that the High Priest of Judaism foolishly expelled all the followers of Jesus from the synagogues ... which in turn incentivized the messianic Jews to establish their own churches, and then wanting complete separation and no identification whatsoever with the Jewish religion, they chose to be called Christians. Nevertheless, Christ was not sent to Earth by God to establish a new religion. So Christianity is not a religion ordained, supported or endorsed by Christ … and all that goes double for God. The Lord God had already given the Law to Moses, and the Mosaic Law commanded (in no uncertain terms) that all prayer and adoration be directed only to the Lord God ... not to any idol or other god which would include Jesus Christ. That was the “religion” created by God, and fully endorsed by Jesus himself when he instructed his Apostles how to say the Lord’s prayer (not the ‘Our Father’ … a corruption by Lucius that is found at Matthew 6:9-13)! On the other hand, Christianity (i.e. Lucianity) is a religion created by man which actively promotes the violation of God’s First Commandment when clergy and laity alike routinely pray to Jesus as their Lord and Savior; therefore it is not a monotheistic religion in tune with the declarations of God and Christ. This justifies why the detective called Lucianity perverse.
The book titled Lucianity was written by the author/detective to eliminate all the
mystery inside Christianity, and in so doing, resolve and clarify many of the muddy and foggy issues confronting the populace of the Bible reading world. It provides undeniable certainty that Jesus was the anointed one of God; it describes the true and defined reason why God sent Christ to earth; and it reports the resurrection with scientific data which confirm that man is made in the image of God. Be that as it may, the detective does not want to leave anyone in the lurch, or dangling on a string so to speak, (even if they haven’t had an opportunity to read his book), so here is a short version of why God sent Christ to Earth.
God sent Jesus on his earthly mission because the Sadducees (the ruling political party of the Jews) had corrupted Mosaic Law over the prior centuries, particularly Genesis 1:27. Via this scripture, Man had been advised (both male and female) that they were made in the image of God -- meaning all human beings possess spiritual bodies (i.e. souls) in the likeness of God. These invisible, and eternal spirits, within the physical bodies of human beings, are the real animating force of their corporal existence, and … since they possessed everlasting life, they are also capable of surviving burial in a tomb or an earthen grave. However, after years of ‘intentional,’ gradual corruption, the Sadducees finally rejected this core dogma of the Mosaic Law. They no longer believed that man had a spiritual life, or any type of existence, after physical death. They believed that everlasting life was only ascribed to God, and maybe the angels, but not Man after original sin because this act of disobedience resulted in his expulsion from the Garden of Eden and his fateful fall from grace. As such, according to the belief of the Sadducees, man’s soul dissipated after death and there was no remaining individual spiritual identity. This concept of man led to lives without any meaning since there was no longer any defined or perceived purpose for human existence. In essence, this rejection of Mosaic Law and the acceptance of a false belief about the nature of man’s soul was the real “sin” of the Jews … and it was only a Jewish sin! It was not a sin of Mankind or the gentiles (i.e. all people not Jewish) because they made no covenant with God and were unaware of Mosaic Law and did not subscribe to it. Over the centuries, this sin of the Jews (the false belief about Man’s soul) was continually perpetuated down through Jewish generations, since it was constantly reinforced and supported by the preaching and writings of the Sadducee Rabbis.
Thus, the dogmatic corruption and repudiation of Genesis 1:27 (Mosaic Law) is the factual rationale behind God’s decision to dispatch Christ on a journey to Earth; in effect, Jesus was God’s direct and dramatic answer to the sin of the Jews. The long-awaited response of God was finally delivered in April 30AD. Exactly as announced, hundreds of years earlier in the Books of Isaiah and Daniel: it was the brutal and very bloody crucifixion of Jesus, followed four days later, by a physical resurrection … a predicted event only accomplished because God reincarnated or returned Christ’s living spiritual soul back to his dead physical body inside the tomb. This very extraordinary executive action by the Lord God disproved the claims and beliefs of the sinful Sadducees! It established that their idea and concept of life was wrong, unfounded, and factually incorrect. When Christ rose from the tomb, walked the streets of Jerusalem, (and even the pathways of Galilee and beyond), Jesus vividly demonstrated by word and action that he really was the same identical person who had died on the cross. His living soul also proved the dogma of the Sadducee priests was false … because it did not dissipate or disappear after the physical death of the human body. The lively actions of Christ validated the fact that there really was life after death, and the grave would not be the final resting place for the soul of Man.
Thus the bottom line is the following:
Jesus came to earth for the purpose of confirming the truth of Genesis 1:27, a Mosaic Law that declared man was made in the image of God; he did not come to shed his blood in order to save all mankind from their sins. The Sadducees no longer believed the soul of man had an existence after physical death (i.e. their sin) and the resurrection of Jesus dramatically proved they were wrong. Christ even confirmed this fact with John on Patmos Island when he spiritually appeared and reported that he had everlasting life. Jesus only came to “save” the Jews after they violated their covenant with God and no longer understood the true destiny of their souls.
If Jesus Christ was really God, or the Lord, as Lucius and many Christians proclaim, then his death and resurrection are completely meaningless. Everyone knows God is eternal and could easily rise from the dead, but God doesn’t pull silly and grave acts or stunts like this for man’s entertainment … therefore, Jesus was not God or the Lord. Jesus was a man (which is exactly how he identified himself) and his spiritual resurrection has enormous implications since it clearly establishes that Man truly is made in the image of God and endowed with everlasting life. This is the message that God gave man when Jesus died and resurrected in 30AD. And, while on this subject, it is worthy to note that Isaiah reported the Prince of Peace (i.e. Christ) would be a great Light to the gentiles (i.e. non-Jews) and those who walked in darkness. Jesus Christ has been that Light for the last 2000 years.
Detective’s Note: “Christians” balk at the idea that Jesus was a man and not God, but their disagreement and argument is not with the detective, it is with God who has affirmed that Jesus was a man (a human being), an identification with which Jesus also agreed. Regarding this critical issue in Christian theology, Jesus identified himself as the Son of Man (a human being) not the Son of God; this latter title (i.e. Son of God) is a falsehood that Lucius repeatedly inserted into the verses of the Bible … verses which people have incorrectly, and sadly accepted as true. Jesus not only advised that he was the ‘Son of man’ in the gospels (e.g. Matthew 18:11), but he also claims his humanity post-resurrection when he spiritually appeared to the Apostle John on the Isle of Patmos. During his appearance, Jesus proclaimed that he was the First and the Last and had everlasting life. With these chosen words, Jesus confirmed his identity with John who knew that Christ was the first man (i.e. Adam) and he will be the last… Christ didn’t identify himself as God, the Lord, or the Son of God. He identified himself as being Adam in a previous life (who was a human being and a sinner), thus establishing he had everlasting life and confirming the truth of Genesis 1:27. This proclamation made by Jesus totally refutes the sinful revisions to Mosaic Law that were believed by most of the Jews at the time and it justifies the rationale for why God sent Christ to confront the Sadducees and their false belief about the true nature of man. God doesn’t need to declare He possesses everlasting life, because everyone knows His existence is eternal … but for a mortal man (such as a crucified Jesus), it is a significant and very meaningful statement to heed. Furthermore, the identity of Jesus as a human being is also confirmed by Prophets Daniel and Isaiah, both of whom received clear-cut messages from God that assert his humanity. As such, Daniel had a vision about the Son of man (not the son of God) ascending to heaven (Daniel 7:13) which is then confirmed two chapters later by God when the Angel Gabriel delivers a message from the Lord in direct response to Daniel’s prayers. Then 500 years later, Jesus as the self-identified ‘son of man’ (or human being) fulfills this centuries old documented vision when he spiritually ascends to heaven after his death on the cross. In like manner, within the Book of Isaiah, chapter 53, verse 12, Christ is described as being “numbered with the transgressors” (i.e. one of many sinners which he was during his life as Adam); this is an indirect way of portraying Christ as a human being. God is definitely not a sinner which means Jesus Christ could not be the Lord or God. Thus, Jesus is identified as a human being by Isaiah and Daniel via the messages received directly from God, and also in the gospels, where even Jesus claimed his self-ascribed humanity many times. Jesus was the “arm of the Lord,” the “Suffering Servant,” the Anointed One, the Christ, and the Jewish Messiah; he was not God, Lord, or the Son of God.
