Re: Jesus was among the wealthiest 5 percent!

Dear Pastor Ezekiel,

Please re read, nowhere did I claim God was a Brit. He is an Englishman, which is well known amongst all civilised people, another Nationality entirely.

Regards & & respect & forgiveness too, as you are perhaps unaware of the defining nations of Great Britain

Dear Master Bathfire,

You err on several counts.

Cromwell had warts, sure marks of the Devil

What is a Faucet? It is not known to me, do you perhaps mean a Tap ? Middle English, from Old French fausset, cask stopper, from fausser, to break in,

Why use the language of Nobility, as in Lord in a Republic ?

Mayflower: When going West it went to our Colonies beyond the Sea therefore not the Land of the Free.

The dialects of the Americas are varied in origin, if you take away the corrupt language of the Italians, Germans, Swedes & ye God the French, you will find the root is that of the West Country of England in particular Cornwall (a former Kingdom) & Devon.

There is no language called British

God, sirrah, is an Englishman. It was Englishmen who sailed the Mayflower.

What wrath did King George suffer. I think you may refer to an American Revolution, piffle sirrah, 'twas merely another of our Civil Wars, with a few foreigners thrown in, notably the heinous French

Bush will soon retire to be a Tax Burden for the rest of his days. McCain is very suspect, surely Mc is a heathen indication of his forebears from the Wild Irish , who are beyond the pale & Cain Gen. 4:

1. [15] And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
2. [16] And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden

1John.3

1. [12] Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Jude.1

[1] Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

A Son Of CAIN Beware Brothers & Sisters, Beware

Christ was well schooled & spoke Latin:

Luke.20

1. [22] Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
2. [24] Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
3. [25] And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

When looking at a Coin

1Tim.6

1. [13] I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

They would have conversed in Latin, Pilate could not speak the Native Language of Christ

He is taking an Interest, the Floods in IWOA, The Fires In California.

America is being visited by plagues.

Repent afore it is too late, there is still time, I will assist with my prayers for your blighted land

Re: Jesus was among the wealthiest 5 percent!

See, Brothers & Sisters, this is where I am confused.

Living in the Mother Country, we have our Monarch who descends from those anointed by God. Herself also so anointed The only Christian, albeit the wrong sort, Monarch extant. That is until the Divine Right of Kings was taken away by those beastly Republicans, Cromwell & the rest of his traitorous crew, who severed the head of our late Majesty Charles 1st.

Cromwell was a fine character and did good work in papist Ireland. Cromwell realized that Charles was attempting to usurp God’s place on Earth and this left Cromwell, as a Godly man, with no choice.

Even our late King James 1st., whose Bible we hold so dearly, had the Divine Right.

The salient point is “albeit the wrong sort” (see above) Thus all can be dismissed. The question of King James is that he was appointed by God to do a job, and he did it well. Look upon it as hiring a plumber to fix your faucet – the man does a good job but do you trust him with the hip-replacement operation or your pension? No.

Such must have been the thought of The Lord of Hosts, for it was during the reign of James VI & I that the Mayflower set sail. Thus God had seen that His Inerrant Word was published and that the Pligrim Fathers could take this great treasure and resource to distant lands.

And who were those upon the Mayflower but Dissenters, those whose departure would leave Great Britain as a godless, empty hulk as the True Spirit of Christianity made its way West to the Land of the Free.

In doing so, they also took with them the language that we now know as American. The language of England is now merely British and I suspect that it irritates God mildly to hear it spoken.

Given Jesus', Praise His Name, lineage & common appellation of "King of Kings" Does it really mean, that America is only God's chosen Colony & not Country as previously thought.

As the Mayflower, despite vicissitudes, reached her goal, under the guidance and protection of the Almighty, we can see that He clearly wanted the venture to succeed. He chose this outcome to distance the Faithful from the Unsaved Trash and thus we can confidently say that America is God’s Chosen Country, first in the geographical sense and later, after God’s Wrath was felt by King George, politically.

I do understand that there may be those amongst the Brethren & Sisterhood, who may be unaware of other countries, as so few need to travel.

Was it not some Englishman who said, “Abroad is beastly”? (Sounds like a homer but he probably had it right.)

However as the Mother Land is closer to the Holy Land

but so distant from Heaven

& that the Christ's Kingdom is obviously a Monarchy, that is everlasting & a myself & the Tyke Brother, Temperance do live in a Monarchy which is also everlasting, where we don't have to think about bothering to vote for a President.

The point here is that the British monarchy will merely, out of greed and self-interest, continue its apostate rule, whereas by the Power and Blessing of Christ, we the people, may eventually attain (and we are soooo close with Mr Bush) a True Christian State, after which there will be no need for elections, as Paradise will have been attained.

The notion of voting for a President is an anathema to us

…and you are mislead by false prophetess and get the government you deserve.

& more readily associated with the Revolting French who also beheaded their last representative of the Divine Right.

A frog with a divine right – even God would laugh!

I look at a coin in my pocket & see her image

was she blinkig at the unaccustomed daylight? ( our blessed Monarch, with the letters D.G. REG D.F [satanic words deleted] after her name, which means 'By the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith'[/quote]…and we all know that it is the wrong faith. It is rather like defending the east when the attack is from the west.

A language that our Lord ( another Monarchist term/Title) would understand & spoke as an educated man in his earthly guise

It is the language of the antichrist the vicar of Rome and a tongue of demons. I would ask for any biblical reference to Christ speaking Latin.

So Christ the King must be a Monarchist

Christ is the King of Kings, I think this puts Him a little higher than the run of the mill monarch – He is God.

& Must be Wealthy

I think that he was probably “financially comfortable” in an "old money" way, but not ostentatiously rich as the “eye of the needle” parable will evidence.

& possibly just using the Colonies for his Divine Will oh and this Bush chap

He certainly takes the greatest interest in America, it is, as I hope I have explained above, His favourite country.

I crave enlightenment

Now you are enlightened, are you ready to accept Jesus?

Re: Jesus was among the wealthiest 5 percent!

Here you can see the blessings Jesus has showered upon John McCain, as seen from His point of view in the heavens:

Jesus will bestow an additional blessing on John McCain come this November as he will be the next occupant of our nation's White House.

Glory!

Re: Jesus was among the wealthiest 5 percent!

What an excellent post, Brother! In fact, when I took the matter into my prayer closet, Jesus guided me to a passage of Scripture showing that during His earthly ministry, He had preferred a Robb Report level of living for Himself over basic sustanance for those who had made the lifestyle choice to be poor:

John 12:3-8: Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], which should betray him, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

Oh, and note carefully who took the bleeding-heart liberal Democratic position. That's right — it was Judas Iscariot! Just like the welfare pimps in the modern-day Democratic Party, he only feigned interest in the poor in order to incite class warfare for his own ends.

[H. Montague Worthington]

Re: Jesus was among the wealthiest 5 percent!

Conclusion:

Jesus was among the wealthiest 5 percent of society, his dad was an archetect and he owned a big vineyard with lots of lazy slaves who had to be beaten a lot. In, short, JESUS IS A REPUBLICAN!

I certainly am glad that the scholarly research about Jesus' socioeconomic background has finally been established with certainty, once and for all. I am sick of hearing from hippies, pinkos, communists and liberals that Jesus worked for the poor. Please excuse the rough language, but to that I say, BALDERDASH!

How do I know? Because I feel the spirit of Jesus in my heart. When I beat the Asian slave laborers in my factories, I feel the spirit of Jesus. When I evict the Cathylick family for being late on their rent two days or making noise after 10 p.m., I feel the spirit of Jesus deep in my heart. When I hear the screams of the heathens being punished in my basement, the very essence of the spirit of Jesus fills my soul and makes my heart race. When I hear the jibberish cries of the Filipino mothers as I give the signal for the bulldozer to bury their children's charred and mutilated bodies in a mass grave out behind the factory, it's the spirit of Jesus that I feel deep in my soul.

And I'm glad that there is finally undisputed, rock-solid evidence that Jesus was a take-no-prisoners capitalist. If you think about it, it all makes perfect sense-- for how else are the poor supposed to LEARN that they're just a bunch of worthless fetid meat, made for the exploitation of their betters?

[Jeb Stuart Thurmond]

Next time some whining welfare bum aka democrat gives you some commie class-war nonsense about Jesus being some sweat-stinking blue-collar type, give them this:

There are a few hints as to the socioeconomic status of Jesus’ family. The common wisdom is that they were poor. Evidence for this comes from his birth in a stable/cave, the meager sacrificial offering, and Joseph's occupation as a carpenter. But a careful look reveals a different picture –

The nature of his birth (no room at the Inn) suggests that they were of limited means. Yet their means were not so limited that they didn’t apply to the Inn for a room, whereas most peasant travellers would either stay at the side of the road or stay with relatives. Hence, the election of staying at an Inn demonstrates at least a middle class background. Nor were they so impoverished that they didn’t make the journeys to Jerusalem for the holy days. And, apparently, Joseph made enough money that he had to go to Jerusalem to pay taxes. As indicated in another section, Joseph, was a master builder not a carpenter, and the opportunities for a master builder in the bustling area of central Galilee were many...

The wedding at Cana, and the participation of Jesus’ mother, suggest that they were squarely in the middle class. Moreover, Jesus had many friends and associates from the wealthy class (e.g., Lazarus, Joseph of Arimathea) and many of his stories indicate his familiarity with the issues confronting the landed gentry.

Finally, Jesus's education indicates that he was not a peasant. In those days, literacy was reserved for the top 3 to 5% of the population. No poor peasant's son would know how to read and write, speak Greek, and have an expert command of the scriptures.

Even if it were true that prior to Jesus' birth the family was poor, surely after he was born, with the gift of gold from the Magi, Jesus' family had sufficient funds.

"The manger did not symbolize poverty but a peculiarity of location caused by circumstances." (Spong, 1992, p. 144)

"There is notoriously little accurate information about Jesus's circumstances. But what there is clearly indicates that his family was well-to-do, and that his upbringing was of a kind available only to those with status and financial resources...Jesus is obviously literate and well educated...when education was essentially an adjunct of class." (Baigent, Lee & Lincoln, 1986, 30-31).

"In the Gospels, Jesus is called a tekton, a Greek word that meant not merely a carpenter skilled in making cabinets or furniture but a designer, construction engineer, or architect. A tekton could build a house, construct a bridge, or design a temple." (Starbird, 2003, p. 53)

The most common themes in Jesus' parables (vineyards, slaves, ownership disputes) would dictate that Jesus had been the owner of a large vineyard with serious production problems revolving around lazy slaves.

Conclusion:

Jesus was among the wealthiest 5 percent of society, his dad was an archetect and he owned a big vineyard with lots of lazy slaves who had to be beaten a lot. In, short, JESUS IS A REPUBLICAN!
