“I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins” (John 8:24).
“Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things” (John 8:28).
That’s exactly right.
The Establishment Jesus is the fake Jesus. It’s axiomatic.
The Jesus that the Establishment teaches is the one the billions follow because they’ve got all the words and explanations down pat.
That’s why the fruit is what it is and why nobody can see or hear anything coming from outside the system.
The Gospel accounts are alive as the narrative of today.
