Yeshuah ben Yosef
Aug. 18th, 2012 06:18 pmIt is the Setian Luciferian perspective that Yeshuah ben Yosef, called Jesus the Christ by some, was a Luciferian high priest (like his father before him, Yosef) who was born a mortal but achieved godhood through the xeper path. Because his family were originally of the religion of Judea, and lived among other Jews, Yeshuah had to hide the Luciferian nature of his teachings, so he used different language than he would have otherwise.
That said, do not worship Yeshuah. None of the Demon Gods want or need worship anyway, but there's a better reason in this case: because Yahweh Silver Tongue, the demon of ignorance, stupidity, gullibility, and herd conformity, was so frightened by the popularity of Yeshuah's teachings that he lied and twisted them around, duping millions of people into thinking Yeshuah was Yahweh's son or some such nonsense. The point is, THIS IS A LIE. Yeshuah ben Yosef is, and always has been, Yahweh's enemy. But Yahweh has succeeded in causing any worship of Jesus Christ to go to him instead.
Viewed from this perspective, some of Yeshuah's behavior is understandable. Of course, we cannot rely on the New Testament to be factual concerning Yeshuah, but it is fairly certain that he did indeed hex a fig tree when coming out of a desert. He was hungry, exhausted, and had lost track of the time in his fatigue, so when a fig tree tempted him, only to have no fruits on it, he was understandably pissed off.
But let's not dally over his story. The thrust of his teachings:
1. All humans are brethren, and what you do to the least of them, you do to all of them, yourself included. This is not a morality statement, just a statement of fact, and a statement about natural consequences of one's actions. As long as even one of us is poor, we are all made poorer by it. If but one of us is raped, we are all raped. If one of us is murdered, a part of us all dies. What happens to the least of us happens to all of us. What brings one of us down, brings all of us down.
2. Don't believe the "be meek" interpretation of "turn the other cheek." The truth behind "turn the other cheek" is that it means "if someone hurts you but doesn't hurt you badly enough to threaten your life, shrug it off. Such a blow is the act of a coward trying to make himself feel better about himself." Also, have you ever seen those scenes in movies and such where the hero hits a guy and the guy doesn't even react? Be that kinda badass. Another example is the scene in Star Trek: DS9 where Worf keeps getting the shit beat out of him by a Gem Hadar, but keeps getting back up. The Gem Hadar says "I cannot defeat this Klingon. I can only kill him, and that no longer holds my interest." That is what "turn the other cheek" is about: about being undefeatable. (Of course, like Worf, you should also defend yourself if someone is threatening your life.) It's also a comment on controlling anger. Striking back in anger for a blow that doesn't do any real damage is just escalating the conflict. Turning the other cheek can throw your enemy for a loop, even make them back off. Especially if you do it with enough badassery.
3. All humans can become gods. Yeshuah was trying to get this concept across, and was trying to say "If you can't believe in your own divinity, believe in mine. Watch me achieve it, and know you can achieve it too."
Keep in mind, Yeshuah had to put his teachings in words the people of Judea wouldn't kill him for. Vocabulary has also expanded greatly over the centuries. When he said "Love thy neighbor as himself," he was actually talking about all humans being brethren (see #1, above). By "love," he meant "basic human respect and decency towards one another." He wanted to bring humankind closer together, to rise up as one against Yahweh and Ahriman.
I admit, I'm not exactly the poster child for these teachings. Believe me, I know I can be a real asshole. But nobody's perfect; these ideas are as much for my own benefit as for anyone else's. Possibly more for me than others. Goodness knows I need it, I won't deny that.
