10 + REASONS WHY PEOPLE QUESTION THE BIBLE Pt. 6
Who are these people around Jesus Christ? Why would the people he trusted the most be the one’s he must watch the most. Was this the plan of God, to surround his son with those who would betray him? To build a church he did not want or need to teach the people he chose? We will continue to look at this as we look deeper into Peter.
One of the twelve disciples call Judas Iscariot went to the chief priest and told he would deliver Jesus the Christ to them. After traveling with Jesus Judas knew of his going reputation as a rebel and that there was a bounty on his head Jesus knew this in advance that Judas would betray him and let us all as readers see it in Matthew chapter 26 verse 23 of the King James Bible where he said for the first time at his last supper where he revealed “he that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me”.
How did Jesus know this? Let’s look at verse 24 of Matthew chapter 26 of the Wholly Bible that reads written in red to represent the spoken words of Christ, “The Son of man goeth as it is written of him but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if he had never been born”. It was at this point that Judas Iscariot answered saying in black ink. “Master is it I”. Jesus’s reply in red was “Thou hast said”.
We can see here that Jesus knew what Judas was planning and when it would take place and Judas knew that Jesus Christ knew what no one else could know. Matthew chapter 11 verse 25–27 give some insight as we read Jesus say “I thank thee O Father, Lord of heaven and earth because thou hast hid these thing from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them to babes.
Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight, all thing is delivered unto me of my father and no man knowth the son but the Father neither knowth any man the father, save the son and to whomsoever the son will reveal him”. These verses let it be known that God the Father is all knowing and that Jesus Christ has all of this knowledge through God the Father.
This verse has another fact and that his God reveal this truth to babies. Could this be where the old saying “out of the mouth of babies? Does this mean babies come into the world with the knowledge of truth? Buy this is a topic for another writing. More over to this point at the last supper where it is known by Christians to be where Jesus Christ called Peters faith and loyalty into question.
Knowing what was to come and how his disciple would response by saying “I tell thee Peter, the cock shall not crow this day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knows me” Simon is the name Peter was known by before he became Peter which was to show his transformation to a faith not yet called Christian. Jesus goes on to say tell of how he prayed for Simon Peter that thy faith fails not and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Once again too many questions unanswered. Did Peter ever get converted? Did Christ use Pray instead of Power? Did Peter Strengthen the brethren? Did Satan finally get to Peter? This is what the church has to say about Peter the rock it is to be built on. This is the position of the church from information gathered.
The Bible does not tell us how the apostle died but it is a commonly accepted tradition of the Church that he was crucified in Rome, upside down! It is the belief and tradition of the Christian Church take Peter requested to be crucified on the inverted cross because he denied The Lord and did not consider himself worthy to be put to death in the same manner as Jesus the Christ.
Although the Bible tells of the works of Peter and his letters to the churches it does not deny or confirm this belief or tradition of this story. Here we are again with a load of question and possibilities. If Satan did get ahold of Peter after the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ, whose words were used in his letters to the Christian Church? If one is prone to and have knowledge of symbols what does one think or feel when they are confronted with the symbol of an inverted cross?
What does the INVERTED CROSS REPRESENT? Who has been characterize as using the symbol of the inverted cross? Is there something the Christian Church is not telling its congregation? Who is responsible for translating the words of the bible to work with the belief and traditions not mentioned in the King James Version of the Christian Bible? Are there other manuscripts of scriptures or books to reference not revealed to the everyday person? There is one thing, one fact that seems safe and true in the Bible as it is written in the book of Matthew, written in red print.
This verse is for times like this when things don’t seem to make sense and you are not sure which way to go or want to think or believe we may need to pray for understanding. It is written and taught in the Bible how to pray, find in Matthew chapter 6 Jesus teaches how we should pray. In verse 5 of the wholly Bible it says written in red print” And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men.
We will take this time to let thing sink into the mind. To try to unconfused the confused. To make good use of the new found news that has be in plain sight from the beginning yet still unknown. We would like to thank you once again for following these writings and as always, Stay Safe and Be Blessed.
