Jesus declared in the book of John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth and
the life.”
The question then is whether there is truth in the proclaimer
himself. If there is
truth in Jesus, his claim that he is the way and the life might
also be sustainable. If not,
then by that very fact the utterance as a whole will go
centrically disproved.
Let us consider some passages in the new testament that go to
show that there is
absolutely no truth in Jesus.
It states in the book of Matthew
17:10-13: “Then the disciples asked Jesus, “Why do
the teachers
of the law say that Elijah has to come first?” “Elijah is indeed coming
first,” answered Jesus,
“and he will get everything ready. But I tell you that Elijah
has already come and people
did not recognise him, but treated him just as they pleased. In
the same way they will also
ill-treat the Son of Man.” “Then the disciples understood that
he was talking to them
about John the Baptist.”
That Jesus was in fact referring to baptist John when he spoke
to the disciples is
evident from his words to the crowd in the book of Matthew 11:12-15:
“From the time John
preached his message until this very day the kingdom of heaven has
suffered violent attacks, and
violent men try to seize it. Until the time of John all the
prophets and the law of Moses
spoke about the kingdom; and if you are willing to believe their
message,
that he was
not Elijah. Thus Jesus’ assertion that baptist John is Elijah is a palpable lie.
Baptist John does not stand to gain anything by lying whereas Jesus does
gain from lying.
He says self-justifyingly that Elijah has already come to
restore all things and people did
not recognise him but did with him the things they wanted. When
Jesus so identified the
baptist with Elijah to the disciples, the baptist John had been
killed already. This served as a
favourable opportunity for Jesus to lie about the baptist John’s
identity.
Here are some more texts from the so-called gospels that would again
prove that Mary-Jesus
was the greatest liar ever seen.
When Jesus was arrested he said to the Jewish leaders “I was
with you every day
in the temple. You did not try to catch me then. But this
is your time now, the time of the
power of darkness.”
The truth is that people tried to arrest Jesus many times and
they did so while he
was preaching in their synagogue. But every time they try to
stop him he slipped away.
In fact it happened on the very first day of his preaching,
which is mentioned in the book of Luke
4:28-30 “When all the people in the synagogue heard these
things, they became very
angry. They got up, forced Jesus out of town, and took him to
the edge of the cliff on
which the town was built. They planned to throw him off the
edge, but Jesus walked
through the crowd and went on his way.”
Here is another incident where Jesus the so-called savior of the
world hiding
himself in fear of execution: “At this, they picked up stones to
stone him, but Jesus hid
himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.” (
The book of John
8:59)
Again the text in the book of John 10:39 “Again they tried to seize Jesus,
but he escaped their
grasp.”
So every time they tried to arrest Jesus he escaped their grasp,
but finally when he
was arrested he said “I was with you every day in the temple.
You did not try to catch me
then”. This is a bold face lie.
It is impossible to reconcile the detection of untruth with a
person who simply
claims to be truthful. But in the case of Jesus, he says he is
truth embodied. Any untruth
detected in him would necessarily make him falsehood embodied
and consequently the
Devil, “the father of lies.”
As for his two other claims of way and life, they merely signify
when coming
from him the necessary idioms for trap and doom.
It is clear therefore that Jesus is neither the way nor the
truth nor the life.
On his part baptist John is the first one to assert that Jesus
is son of god. The
claim is untenable and groundless. The baptist’s own words too
belie it.
In the book of John 1:29 baptist John says in respect of Jesus: “Here is the
lamb of god who takes
away the sin of the world.” In the book of John 1:32 34
baptist John added: “I saw
the spirit come
down like a dove from heaven and stay on him. I have seen it and I tell you that
he is the son of
god.” the book of Matthew 11:2-3, however, says: “When John heard in prison
what christ was
doing, he sent his disciples to ask him, “Are you the one who
was to come, or should we
expect someone else?”
This shows that the spectacle reported by John did never occur.
Had John seen
such an extraordinary sight, he would not send his allies to
enquire of the same Jesus
whether they should “expect someone else.” Besides, how can John
know for so certain
that this spirit came from heaven?
Consider the book of Matthew 24:36 on Jesus’ proprietary theme of end
of the world: “No
one knows the day or hour. The angels in the heaven don’t know,
and
Only the
Father knows.” Jesus here admits that he does not know when the
world is going to end up. But his words in the book of Matthew 24:44
are to the contrary: “The son
of man will come at an hour when you are not expecting him.” If he
does not know the
when of it, he cannot in truth say at the same time that it will
only occur at an unexpected
hour. Since the two statements cannot be true at the same time,
Jesus is lying in both
instances.
Moreover, Jesus says in the book of John 10:30 that he and his father
are the same. If so, he
should know everything that the father knows. How then can he
say that the date and
time of day when the world will come to a stop is known to his
father but not to him?
What Jesus says in the book of Matthew 24:36 contradicts with what he
says in the book of John
10:30. Self contradiction is the hallmark of falsehood.
Since there is no truth in Jesus the words of Jesus in the book
of John
8:44 in respect of the
devil supreme “He is a liar and the father of the lie” become
meaningful in Jesus and
alone in Jesus.
