JESUS NOT GOD!
Jesus did not claim to be that Mind, God, who governs the one, real and only universe, the spiritual! Nor did the Master promulgate the devilish delusion and insanity, making His Mother, Mary, the Mother of God!
That's where the devil 'horned in'——as per the old formula: "If you can't lick 'em, join 'em"!, and, if possible, take over'!
And so. in Roman Catholicism we have the fruits of the devil's success in evolving religious politicians before the New Testament was even written!
Inferior types of Hebrews and gentiles inflicted pagan BELIEFS on the word of mouth, Christianity, of Jesus and His Disciples! And so, ceremonies were substituted for knowledge of the truth, which Jesus said would make free, and the obedience he demanded with these fruits——"My works and greater shall ye do."
"Ye shall heal the sick"! by the word of God, NOT via so-called 'medicine', nor Christ VOID prayers and mental manipulations!
"Cleanse the lepers!
"Raise the dead"! (from the neck up, or down! F. D. R., for example. Never mind the graveyards and undertakers!)
"Cast out devils"! The Democrats have had-and still have—PLENTY! (smiles) They still have too much vested interests in the devil's efforts to take over Protestant, Christian Scientist Messiah, America!!!
