EVIDENCE FOR DIABOLICAL AGENCY
IN THE MIRACLES OF JESUS CHRIST
The Church says
that the miracles of Jesus, magical events that indicate that God worked
through him, prove he was the sinless Son of God that he claimed to be and that
we should obey him as our king.
If the miracles of
Jesus really happened that still does not mean we should believe in him and
worship him. The evidence indicates that
if the miracles happened the Devil was to blame. Christians say that convincing psychics get
their information from the Devil and use it to deceive. If the gospels are as convincing as
Christians say how do they know that the Devil did not guide the evangelists in
their deceptions so that persuasive gospels would be made?
Jesus never convincingly demonstrated any ability to tell the future even
though he said the Law of Moses was right in all it said for it was ultimately authored
by God just like it claimed. The
prophecies he made about his crucifixion and the destruction of
Jesus’ preference for miracles than for prophecy shows he was a
fraud. He made no provable prophecies
that show the marks of being supernatural.
He certainly failed the tests spelled out by the Law of Moses which he
declared to be his mentor and credential.
He mistakenly thought a resurrection from the dead would be enough to
mark him out as the son of God and saviour of the world. The Law denies this.
When the Jews suggested
that Jesus’ exorcisms were just tricks of the Devil Jesus said they were not
for Satan could not cast out Satan and destroy his own kingdom. This tells us that the Devil cannot have a
kingdom without possessing people which implies that most people must be
demon-possessed. Since he tempts all he
must possess all. They can blame the
Devil and not themselves then for their sins.
The teaching proves that Jesus used fear and terror to derange people
and manipulate them so that they hardly knew what was real. Moreover, Jesus knew the Devil could cast out
demons under certain circumstances for he would only be sending them to
somebody else anyway. Jesus lied. Whoever is not against the Devil is for
him. Not once did any gospel verify that
anybody Jesus was cured of a Devil stayed cured forever. Jesus said a demon will come back if a man is
not holy enough which is a good excuse for a fake
exorcist who fails so he must have needed the excuse. Jesus was a false prophet and when one of
them does exorcisms is enough to prove that he is
using the Devil to do them if the Devil exists.
Jesus even went as far as to say that anybody suspecting that the Devil
was doing his miracles would never be saved so he was going to make sure that
people would be afraid to think about his miracles. He was the one that said the Devil is very
crafty.
Jesus dangerously
implied that the Devil cannot have a kingdom without possessing people. This is a terrifying idea and if we are demon
possessed how can we know what is real or true?
How can we know that Jesus was the good prophet he said he was? The Bible speaks of the devil as being the
real god of this world and who specialises in making people blind to the truth
which is Christianity (2 Corinthians 4:4).
In other words, he is not being said to be divine but the world is
treating him as its God. When Satan is
so powerful and is the god of the world and can’t have a kingdom without
possessing then most possessions are discreet.
The possessed don’t feel possessed.
But Satan is controlling their feelings so they feel free. He is controlling their thinking and they
think they are free. He sees no good in
scaring people unnecessarily but in manipulating them to make them evil and
harden their hearts against God. Jesus
treated the scribes and Pharisees despite their respectability and seeming
goodness as the biggest emissaries of Satan not possessed people or prostitutes
or tax collectors. This was because the
scribes and Pharisees specialised in the most dangerous evil of all, evil that
looks good and is disguised as good.
To me, a man who
thinks everybody else is possessed must feel possessed himself!
The demons Jesus
cast out of the Gerasene demoniac (Luke 8) pleaded
for Jesus to send them into pigs rather than send them back to the abyss and he
obliged. They went into the pigs but the
pigs then drowned themselves. And that
the demons Jesus put out of the Gerasene man were
wrong to think Jesus was going to send them back to the pit – they didn’t realise
he was going to give them the bodies of the pigs. It is not said that he meant for the pigs to
drown themselves. But that is what
happened.
We read in
Matthew 12 that Jesus taught that when a demon leaves a man it searches for a
new home and if it can’t find one it comes back to the man. When it finds the man’s house meaning his
life tidied up it gets seven others worse than itself and they all possess the
man so he ends up worse than he was at the start.
Some say the
tidied up stands for the man having himself prepared
for demons to make their home in him.
Others say it means that the man is purified and holy.
The man would be
unlikely to want the demons back so the tidying means holy.
The man would be
in the same position and state as somebody that was never possessed so why him
and not somebody else?
The metaphor of
tidiness implies that the man is now good.
If the man was evil, the metaphor of untidiness would be appropriate.
Jesus then meant
that a holy person can become possessed.
Jesus is telling
us these things.
1.
The demon can come back to a good man and
take him over and even bring its friends.
So the only reason it couldn’t possess anybody else was because they
were too full of demons so there was no room for another.
2.
It tells us that the demons are desperate to
live in bodies and most people are possessed.
3.
It tells us that since we all sin that sin
will let demons in far easier than a demon will get back into a man who was
saved from it and who became a decent man.
4.
Jesus added that the generation he belonged
to was evil and would have the same fate as the man who got rid of demons and
got them back with more parasite demons with them for company (Matthew
12:45). Jesus made the demons seem to be
the power that rules the world. This
could only attract people to consort with them for material favours.
Jesus taught that
anybody who dies in a state of estrangement from God will suffer forever in
Hell. This was a very serious slander
for nobody could be bad enough to go forever to a place where there is no joy
and no love. Anybody that says that they
could be, is kidding himself. You need infinite proof to say that anybody
deserves suffering that lasts forever or infinitely. And when there is no evidence whatsoever for
free will that is free enough to choose such an unspeakable fate of everlasting
despair the doctrine is plainly reprehensible.
We cannot prove by expirence or logic that we
really have free will at all. Animals and
drunks are not free and feel free. To
say this power whose abuse lands you in Hell forever is to say something really
malicious. You could feel free and still
be programmed by the environment. Jesus
obviously hoped that sinners who die will rot in Hell forever. Even if we have free will we cannot assume it
can go as far as to choose that kind of fate.
Jesus invented
the doctrine of everlasting punishment which implies that the damned should
suffer for their sins forever though it would do no harm if they did not suffer
that long. We need punishment or crime
control in this world and it is a necessary evil to prevent chaos. Thus he ensured that Christianity would hate
sinners and the damned however vehemently it would pretend it does not. It is pure evil for any Christian to say he
believes that a homosexual or adulterer or heretic should suffer forever in
Hell when the evidence is not good enough for that tells us only that he would
like to see this happen to sinners like that.
Yet Jesus himself is at the root of this evil.
Jesus supported
the Jewish law despite its cruelties.
God gave parents the legal right to have their lazy drunkard sons killed
by stoning (Deuteronomy 21). How can we
trust a man like that?
Jesus made out
that we are more likely to sin than do good.
The Church says we were born sinful and that the effects of this make
sure we will struggle with sin all our life.
This demolishes the freedom defence.
It says evil and sin are our fault not God’s for we abused his gift of
free will and he couldn’t stop us. God
supposedly gave us free will so that we could love him or hate him. If so, then he should not be making us
biased towards sin or creating weakness in us that is drawn to sin. We should be able to live sinless lives even
if many of us don’t. Jesus’ evil God
ordains sin and evil to take place.
The Devil wanted Jesus to jump off the
Matthew 10:13 tells us that Jesus believed that his powers worked by
magic. In it, Jesus tells the disciples
that if they confer peace on a deserving house they are in it will be blessed
with peace but if the house is undeserving the peace
will come back to the disciples.
This makes no sense unless the prayer that confers the peace is really a
spell. A spell is sending magic energy
out of you. Jesus wants the disciples to
cast spells for peace and the spell will bless them themselves by coming back
to them if there is nobody peaceable who will let the spell work. Jesus gave the disciples this power so he was
claiming he did his wonders by magic.
This would bring him under condemnation for the Torah condemned all
magic-making as being opposed to God and deserving of death. Sorcerers even ones
who did mostly good were banned from the midst of the Hebrews.
Jesus made the
equivalent of nine hundred bottles of good wine at Cana
when the guests were already drunk (page 6, A Christian Faith for Today, W
Montgomery Watt, Routledge, London, 2002). This is reported in the gospel of John which
has it remarked that because of this the good wine that Jesus created from
water was served at the end of the feast when usually the bad wine was given out
at this point for the guests didn’t know any different having had too
much. This is a miracle blessing the sin
of drunkenness.
Jesus and the early Christians heralded his resurrection as his proof
that what he said he was, was the truth. So Satan cannot raise the dead but perhaps Satan
hid his body from view though it was there or disintegrated it? Satan can do apparitions or seeming ones
which is why even Christians say that a bodily resurrection is necessary and visions
of Jesus are simply not enough for the world is full of conflicting vision
stories. The fact that Jesus never drew
attention to these problems shows that both he and his disciples were all
hell-bent on believing in the resurrection no matter what and did not mind if
their obstinacy pleased the Devil. If
whoever is not against Jesus is for him like he said then it is the same for
those who are not against Satan. The dishonesty of Jesus’ claim that the Devil could not have been
behind the resurrection scam shows that he may have been. Christians will reply that the good fruits of
the resurrection and belief in it prove that Satan wasn’t behind it. But you can’t believe in everything that
seems to have good fruits and it is precisely arguments over fruits that could
go on forever that we have different religions in the first place.
The fruits of the resurrection are only superficially good. Christians lie to themselves and everybody
else that they believe in Christ and therefore in the resurrection and that it
is a personal relationship they have with Christ that gives them faith that the
resurrection happened. They believe in
the gospels not in Christ. If John says
Mary is a prostitute and I believe that it is John I believe. If Mary tells me herself then it is Mary I believe. Christianity is just a man-made faith.
Jesus said I
should put God first, or love him with all my heart and mind. He said it was the greatest and most important
commandment. This proved that he was a
fraud for that is an evil doctrine. It
translates as put God as Jesus or the pope understands him first so that Jesus
or the pope will be as good as God to you for you will be doing what they
want. That is what priests and clergy
and popes are all after. The doctrine is
responsible for the remarkable immorality that exists among Christians and can
make it worse easily for it is so fanatical unnatural and nobody wants to obey
it. How can you love a being you cannot
prove that much as much as that? If they
are not as bad as they can be that is in spite of the doctrine not because of
it. If you really love God you will have
little excuse for being in the wrong religion for if God comes first then the
job that comes first is making sure you have the truth and living that truth
afterwards. The doctrine is pro-sectarianism
and accuses those who endure sectarian harassment of asking for it. This is what Jesus and Moses and Muhammad
made the foundation of morality. They
put the world on a treadmill. They set
their followers in opposition to nature and reality and truth. They were on the side of the Devil they said
they hated. The gospels don’t say at all
how the body vanished from the tomb. They
only say it was raised up which could have happened in the presence of the thieves. Thus Jesus’ big proof failed.
If Jesus’ miracles
are so satanic then the ones at
The Christians have
no evidence that Jesus really changed lives to any unusual extent. What lives changed since his time are irrelevant for that could happen accidentally. If Satan makes a person seem like a saint who
does miracles that do noticeable harm and the real damage is carefully hidden
that person will seem like a saint to future generations. Despite Satan’s purpose, they could end up
inspiring conversions and sincerity and goodness. The apostles of Jesus are enigmas to us and
we don’t know enough about them to be able to make an exception of them. For example, the stories about them are
legends full of absurd miracles and contradictions. The Christians are just guessing and
pretending to sound smart.
Jesus in teaching
the doctrine that demons can possess people did irreparable harm. Throughout
the Middle Ages people were put to death and burnt at
the stake for they were thought to have had demons in them. The Church performed exorcisms to cast them
out but often they got no better and sometimes far worse. In such cases it was thought that it was
because the possessed person didn’t want rid of the demons for the Church
claims that though it prays over newly baptised that demons will never get them
some people want the demons so the prayers can do nothing to keep them out. Such persons were hounded as witches and
warlocks and burnt to death. This is
quite logical. A person who willingly
accepts demonic infestation will have supernatural powers and the only way to
stop them murdering or getting others possessed is to kill them. Jesus would have known of people being
murdered because they were possessed in his day and why people felt they had to
be killed. And still he promoted the
belief. He was a dangerous fanatic.
Up to not that long
ago, insane people were thought to be possessed and that beating them up in
asylums would help them. Many of them
were starved. Many exorcisms have made
insane people far worse. It made them
believe they had a demon and added to their problems. All people who are mentally unwell and who
have had a religious background fear that they may have a demon or a demon is
influencing them. This only upsets them
more and makes them worse. It damages
their belief in their treatment and so not only does it make them worse but it
makes it harder for them to get better.
Jesus or those who invented him was to blame for this evil. The Church knows all this and still refuses
to put people before dogma, put what you can touch before what you assume or
believe is true.
There are two
trained priests set aside for exorcising in every diocese of the Roman Catholic
Church. They step in when medical
treatment of the insane fails and when a possession may be the cause. But first the psychiatrists must declare the
patients’ insanity to be inexplicable. One time the apostles came up to Jesus saying they found a man
outside the group that went about with Jesus casting out demons and forbade
him. But Jesus stood up for the
man. So Jesus agreed with people
assuming that mental illness was possession in those days. He didn’t use psychiatrists for there were
none and medical science then was nearly totally flawed. The message is clear: it is a sin for the
Catholic Church to deny that mentally ill people are necessarily
possessed. It is a sin to determine if
the person is possessed or not. If they
are mentally ill they are possessed.
This is a terribly dangerous doctrine.
The Church simply refuses to explicitly teach what Jesus commanded in
this thing because it knows how much harm can be done by making a person with
mental illness think they may be possessed and has seen deaths and suicides
over such teachings. So it wants to look
after its good name by restricting exorcism.
But nevertheless, it teaches the evil doctrine by implication every time
it says that the gospel Jesus was the infallible Son of God. And besides the Church does
not deny that in any case of mental illness possession on some level – perhaps a
very weak one - cannot be ruled out.
The brain is so
complex and some people fake mental illness so the idea that a mental illness
being declared inexplicable permits the Church to perform an exorcism is
scandalous. It should be made illegal
and these exorcists should be forced by law to abandon their exorcist
roles. They should be sued by the
patients they work with. To tell a
person with brain disorders that show up that they may be possessed is bad
enough. But to tell a person with one
that doesn’t show up is far worse for at least when the cause is known
something can be done about it and it is not as scary for the patient. It is dishonest of the Church to parade
seemingly successful exorcisms as evidence that the Church is true while saying
the failed ones were just down to some unknown form of mental disorder just because
they failed. That is making the evidence
fit what you want to believe. Medical
science could never agree with an exorcism for it says that there is so much
about the brain that we don’t understand even today. The exorcisms are just sacrificing innocent
people to fanatical religious dogma.
The Church may wait until mental illness is declared inexplicable before
doing anything but inexplicable only means it can’t be explained yet not that
it is necessarily supernatural. It still
does not give the Church the right to attempt exorcism. The entire belief in exorcism and possession
is evil and whoever promotes it is either stupid or a fanatic.
Exorcism is a
feature of magic more than religion. It
is obvious that it is a form of magic spell.
The Torah or Law of Moses in the Bible condemns magic so obviously when
Jesus came along with his exorcisms and the Church they must be in violation of
what God decreed when he gave this Torah to Moses. Exorcisms are indeed an attempt to use Satan
to cast out Satan!
