Who Put This in the Bible? Matt 10:34 "Think Not that I Am come to Send Peace on Earth... But a Sword"?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Some scholars believe that verses 31 to 38 in Matthew’s Gospel were ‘embedded’ into the text long after it was written around A.D. 85. Why? Because those verses do not fit into Matthew’s overall “community of believers” theme:

So what’s an ‘embedded meme’?

If you still believe in Ideologies like “The Aliens Did it”, Apartheid, Marxism, Buddhism, Capitalism, Cannibalism or War Profiteering, you believe in memes that were embedded in your head before you were born.

Try “We-ism”. It’s the theme Matthew preached (and every other Prophet and Messenger that ever opened his mouth preached) it’s the only one that doesn’t kill you:Do unto Other as You Would Have them Do Unto You”.

“We-ism” is an alternative ‘reality’ in which you and I are the central characters and we call all the shots.

“We-ism” is also an ideology but it insists that neither you nor I get hurt playing other people’s games.

 If we’re both We-ists and what one of us thinks up isn’t fun, then we don’t have to play.

So what do we play today? I’m Batman and you are Tomorrow’s Child… let’s explore, let’s fly to the Pleiades, let’s, um… Get Off the Grid?

Unfortunately we believe some seriously flawed adult fantasies (ideologies) because they’ve become…

“JUST THE WAY IT IS”

Why? Because only your Grandparents remember the way it was… what do you really know about the Great Depression?

  Did you know it was the sixth in a series beginning with the collapse of the South Sea Bubble in 1720 and that we are in the seventh Depression in three hundred years of usurious foreclosure, fraud, market maipulation and money laundering orchestrated by the same people as in 1720 and before?

Today’s thievery caps them all – This is the latest and most ridiculous ‘game’ (outside of war) that we believe in today: the banks don’t pay interest on your savings any more, but make you pay to lend them your money, like with a ‘deposit charge’ and then they charge  you every time you check it, count it, spend it or use it in any way at all, so that out of every hundred bucks you make you ‘get to spend’ only about $80 or $90 of it… and that’s “after taxes”, another adult fantasy in which one half of the population supports the half freeloading in the government fantasy so much so that fifty million Americans are supported by government food stamps today.

Russia had an ideology that ‘pretended’ to feed everyone – “We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us.” So everyone could buy food, and did.

We-ism would have it like this:

You keep ALL your money plus interest, and the fewer people in the gove

rnment game the less you have to shell out for it…
I think that used to be the way it was.

THE LONG HAUL
  Now let’s pretend that you have to forfeit twenty or twenty-five of the best, most productive years of your life paying for the privilege of staying in one place near your work.

Work BTW, is the source of all wealth” – 17th Century We-ism economist Adam Smith.

We-ism would have it that your employer gives you a home as an incentive to do work that creates wealth for him – someone has to pick the cotton for any more wealth to be created with it.

If you want to move, then another employer will have accommodation for you. We-ist work creates all physical (commodity) wealth by digging it out of the ground, growing and harvesting it or assembling it, so you get rich along with your employers because they share in their ability to organize the wealth created by your work… or you just don’t pick the cotton.

   But with Automation and mechanized farming and ‘suicide seeds’, that choice has passed us by – diggers and growers and assemblers aren’t really needed so a lot of cotton-pickers are unemployed out there on top of being in terminal debt.

Lovely word, share… almost the entire Universe shares existence in harmony… the excption? A disease called greed.

THE SHORT, DEADLY HAUL
Now, here’s an easy one that’s been made seriously difficult, so go slow here:
Let’s pretend there is Only One God – ‘Monotheism’.
Easy. All the rest are gone…
  But current fantasies – ideologies – are so strong they can turn brother against sister, father against daughter and more, just by adding a lie here and there very early on in the game and making people forget that there is only One.
The Gospel of Matthew for instance, is thought to have been written around 85 AD.

His Gospel stresses God and His relationship to the community of believers rather than  emphasizing the idea of solitary worship. In other words, for Matthew it’s “we and Jesus” not “me and Jesus”, a kind of early We-ism.

So Chapter 10, particularly verses 31 – 38, which contradict the essential commuity message, could have been inserted later – some scholars think most probably around 324 AD at the Council of Nicea – more on that further on…

 

0:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

(The Lord’s Prayer begins with “OUR Father”, the One that ‘we’ all share…)

10:34 Think not that I am 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

10:36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.

10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

Another illogical and contradictory idea that seems to have been ‘made up’ long after Christ’s death is the concept of ‘Original Sin’. The idea that it was allegedly invented by either St. Paul or St. Augustine is popular among theologians but who also agree that “no amount of hype or theological double-talk changes the fact that this whole concept is immoral and unjust. At the same time, how often are those verses of Matthew hauled out infront of us? 

The concept of Original Sin is also not found in any Jewish scriptures, instead the opposite is brought down to us in the fifth Book of the Pentateuch, Deuteronomy 24:16, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin,” while Matthew 10 truly sets brother against brother and punishing millions of people for the acts of one just does not compute.

Why?

The modern theologian does not believe that Original Sin exists; rather that Man, as an animal among God’s creatures is born innocent.

If not, then why not punish your new-born for the ‘Sin of Adam’ as early as you can?

  In today’s context It’s not hard to imagine riots in the streets, pamphlet wars and vicious rhetoric spawned by sequestration, but the same thing was happening in A.D. 325, when Rome’s first Christian Emperor, Constantine was forced to take action to quell the controversy over whether Jesus was Man or God by convening 318 Bishops in Nicea, Greece, A.D. 324!

Supporters on both sides scrawled graffiti on town walls in defiance while bishops from across the empire entered into a war of words as the controversy simmered to a head.

In a savvy move that would put today’s ‘shrewd’ politicians to shame, the compromise proffered by Constantine was vague, but blandly pleasing: Jesus and God were of the same “substance,” he suggested, without delving too much into the nature of the relationship. A majority of the bishops agreed on the compromise and voted to pass the language into doctrine.”

While the Council of Nicea had important consequences, its significance has been exaggerated into legend by a few conspiracy theorists, documentaries and books such as Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code,” historians say.

Contrary to popular belief, the council had nothing to do with selecting which verses and gospels would be included in the Bible, nor whether Christianity agreed or disagreed with the concept of reincarnation. Bishops did not burn books they deemed heretical there either, historians say.

But the non-logic of Original Sin seems to be twisted for the purpose of conquest or the theft of a nation’s mineral resources, so the people of “An Evil Empire” can be put to death by war because of the actions of a few Agents Provocateurs or ‘suicide bombers’ creating the War Ideology - equally unjust and immoral as well as illogical: punish ALL Muslims for the actions of a few…

   (The Christian symbol of the Buddhist Tao)

This of course also makes today’s War Game a lot easier to accept because those ‘Rag Heads’ over there who also take the Only One God belief from the Old Testament are Bad Guys while on our side we’re told they don’t really, really believe There is Only One God (but of course they really, truly do) – whew!

It’s sooo easy to start a fight – we’re told that we have to ‘get’ them before they ‘get’ us, because that’s the way it is… because I say so and it’s my game you’re playing… and my game includes the 9/11 move that lets me tell you to punish an entire civilization for the actions of a few fanatics who in reality were actually created by western intelligence agencies as a ‘false flag’ as the court of popular opinion is finally beginning to see..

ARE THE ‘RAG-HEADS’ BEING BEING TOLD LIES ABOUT US?

We are told that Muslims treat their women badly by making them cover themselves from head to toe and beat them.

Seen in another context, the west’s tradition of stripping their women of their family heritage and history by forcing them to renounce their surnames and take on the husband’s could be seen as equally degrading. One is a matter of dress, the other… an atavistic residue of western womens’ former status of chattel?

And how many ‘domestic violence’ cases do our police record a year?

What we are not told is that ‘they’ are also living one of the three Abrahamic religious ideologies (Judaism, Islam and Christianity, all based on the Old Testament), just like us Good Guys:

We believe in the Judeo-Christian Ethic while Islam believes the Judeo-Islamic Ethic – both Christianity and Islam SHARE most of the Old Testament values, one exception perhaps being the core of this ‘clash of civilizations’: Islam still holds up the Old Testament laws against Usury, the ideology that puts everyone in debt and keeps them there, while Chrisianity’s new Pope is re-investigating the biggest money laundry in the world, the Vatican Bank.

According to USA Today, “Italian police arrested a senior Vatican bank Official and two other men in June on suspicion of financial fraud connected with the Vatican’s Institute of Religious Works.

And I’m pretty sure that’s one of the reasons Manning and Snowden and Asange and the whole “leak” structure has grown out of this mess: It’s based on secrecy and lies, divide and conquer… and greed.

We-ism takes the view that tomorrow we switch roles and I get to dress up like a Rag Head with ‘Only One God’ and call for a peace pipe while you dress up like Chief Sitting Bull or JFK with YOUR Only One God belief and smoke it with me like a Real Man, not a coward.

We-ism says “if someone else is calling shots and I don’t like those shots putting me, you or our children in harm’s way, we pull out.

Thou Shalt Not Kill” is a hard belief to train people out of because ‘Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Unto You” and “I do not wish to be murdered” always apply – and breaking those truths wounds the conscience to the point of insanity and suicide.

More Viet Nam veterans committed suicide that were killed in that ‘police action’.

Why?

They” say there’s always a better game in town, but only if you can find one where the tables aren’t rigged…

      “Think Not that I Am come to Send Peace on Earth… But a Sword”?

      Clarification: Jesus brings the Truth to mankind. The Truth hurts. Naturally, some people will reject the Truth and some people will embrace it. This will create division between those who love Him and those who reject Him. Hence, by giving us the Truth, Jesus is sending a sword among men. Ultimately, the Truth will bring unity, but for right now, it causes division and strife between those who accept and those who reject.

      In other words, Jesus did not come to make us all get along no matter what. He came to give us the TRUTH of HIMSELF and His Catholic Church so that all men can reach Heaven. Some people have a problem with that and this results in a “sword” dividing men. Jesus came to give us the Truth. Deal with it.
