January 1 is the Feast of the Circumcision - Eternal Faith & Beliefs « BellesHeures's Weblog

January 1 is the Feast of the Circumcision, the first shedding of blood by Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ – the Octave Day of Christmas. This year (2012) it is also the Sunday of the Octave of Christmas.

The Circumcision eight days after His birth is the first time Christ shed His blood for us under the old law. After forty days from His birth He was taken to the Temple and there the Presentation of Jesus Christ the Son of God was made by the blessed virgin Mary and St. Joseph and St. Simeon. These were both types of the Sacrifice that Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was going to make upon Mt. Calvary (the hill called Golgotha in Hebrew [the place of the skull]) one time for eternity for the salvation of the people who would confess Him. St. Paul teaches us in his letter to the Hebrews (written by St. Paul in Hebrew and translated into the Greek by St. Luke, St. Paul's companion), that only by the sacrifice of the Cross of Christ is Redemption accomplished, this is the Sacrifice of the New and Eternal Testament of Christ – and that one time for all eternity for all the redeemed.

Hebrews Chapter 9

The sacrifices of the law were far inferior to that of Christ.

9:1 The former indeed had also justifications of divine service and a sanctuary.
9:2 For there was a tabernacle made the first, wherein were the candlesticks and the table and the setting forth of loaves, which is called the Holy.
9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies:
9:4 Having a golden censer and the ark of the testament covered about on every part with gold, in which was a golden pot that had manna and the rod of Aaron that had blossomed and the tables of the testament.
9:5 And over it were the cherubims of glory overshadowing the propitiatory: of which it is not needful to speak now particularly.
9:6 Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle, the priests indeed always entered, accomplishing the offices of sacrifices.
9:7 But into the second, the high priest alone, once a year: not without blood, which he offereth for his own and the people's ignorance:
9:8 The Holy Ghost signifying this: That the way into the Holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the former tabernacle was yet standing.
9:9 Which is a parable of the time present: according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, as to the conscience, make him perfect that serveth, only in meats and in drinks,
9:10 And divers washings and justices of the flesh laid on them until the time of correction.

Of correction. . .Viz., when Christ should correct and settle all things.

9:11 But Christ, being come an high Priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hand, that is, not of this creation:
9:12 Neither by the blood of goats or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption.

Eternal redemption. . . By that one sacrifice of his blood, once offered on the cross, Christ our Lord paid and exhibited, once for all, the general price and ransom of all mankind: which no other priest could do.

9:13 For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer, being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh:
9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?
9:15 And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
9:16 For where there is a testament the death of the testator must of necessity come in.
9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst the testator liveth.
9:18 Whereupon neither was the first indeed dedicated without blood.
9:19 For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people.
9:20 Saying: This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
9:21 The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the ministry, in like manner, he sprinkled with blood.
9:22 And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood: and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
9:23 It is necessary therefore that the patterns of heavenly things should be cleansed with these: but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
9:24 For Jesus is not entered into the Holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into Heaven itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us.
9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the Holies every year with the blood of others:

Offer himself often. . . Christ shall never more offer himself in sacrifice, in that violent, painful, and bloody manner, nor can there be any occasion for it: since by that one sacrifice upon His Cross, he has furnished the full ransom, redemption, and remedy for all the sins of the world. But this hinders not that He, by the Holy Spirit, makes Himself daily present in the sacred Eucharist in the bread and cup given us by God and His power alone and not by any pretended power of men, that sacred Presence whom we receive in faith with all thanksgiving.

9:26 For then he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the world. But now once, at the end of ages, he hath appeared for the destruction of sin by the sacrifice of himself.
9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment:
9:28 So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many. The second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation.

Muslims are encouraged to come to Christ, who they already confess as the Messiah, as Islam in the Holy Qur'an teaches, just as the Holy Bible teaches, and receive baptism in Christ and come to the Lord's table and receive the Eucharist. (See: The Final Trial)

To exhaust. . .That is, to empty, or draw out to the very bottom, by a plentiful and perfect redemption.

Second time. . .The Parousia, Nuzul i Isa in Arabic, the Second Coming of Christ from heaven with all the elect angels of God.

Jesus Christ said:

John 6:55
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.

Matthew 26:28
For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.

The unrepentant and perfidious Jews made their acclamation of their own sin of Deicide and Perfidy when they said:

Matthew 27:25
And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and our children.

His blood. . . in this case they are calling down upon themselves and their children a curse unto damnation that will never be lifted. Individual Jews can and are encouraged to come to Christ and repent of this and confess their sins to Him and be forgiven, cleansed and healed and set upon the road of salvation. The nation, as a nation, of the Jews will never be offered salvation again. The Satanic fake in the Holy Land right now calling itself "Israel" is only and can be nothing other than the false Diabolic short lived kingdom of the Antichrist, which Jesus Christ will utterly destroy at His Second Coming. Concerning the two witnesses who will return to earth, St. Enoch and St. Elijah, holy prophets of God who never died and will be the final witnesses of God and His Christ to the world, we are assured of both their death in Jerusalem and their victory over God's enemies in their resurrection and ascension to heaven just immediately prior to the Second Coming of Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.(Especially see the Apocalypse, the Book of the Revelation, Chapter 11.)

Through Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Who Lives and Reigns with Thee in the Unity and Power of the Holy Spirit unto the endless ages. Amen.

The Lord be with you.
And with thy spirit.
Let us bless the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

The feast of Corpus Christi, Thursday after Trinity Sunday, from the Office of the Hours:
A priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedech, Christ the Lord offered bread and wine.

YOU CAN NOT SPEAK OF THE CRUCIFIXION OF OUR LORD WITHOUT SPEAKING OF HIS RESURRECTION. HE ALWAYS DID THAT. HE IS OUR MODEL. SO WE MUST ALWAYS BEAR THAT LINK BETWEEN THE TWO. IN THE FUTURE HE WILL RETURN AND RAISE ALL MEN IN THE FLESH TO JUDGEMENT! THE EUCHARIST IS OUR PLEDGE OF FIDELITY TO HIM IN OUR RECEPTION OF HIS BODY AND BLOOD. NOT A PLEDGE OF FIDELITY TO EVEN A RIGHTEOUS POPE, LIKE PIUS X. AND CERTAINLY NOT TO ANTIPOPES LIKE JOHN PAUL II AND BENEDICT XVI
Of course the chief priests and Pharisees can’t stand that.

Mt. 21

44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone (Christ) shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
45 And when the ecumenists and legalists had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
46 And they sought to lay hands on him (while gnashing their teeth), but feared the multitudes, because they held him as a prophet.

Confession of Faith in the True God

GOD is the Truth. The Most Holy Trinity is God and none other is God. The Most Holy Trinity is Three Persons Who are One God. These Three Persons are The Father and the Son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The Father is the fountainhead of the Trinity, the Son proceeds from His engendering in the Father’s bosom, the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father in the unity of the engendering of the Son from the Father. This procession of the Son and the Holy Spirit from the Father is immortal from before all time and creation and unto eternity never-ending. This Triune God alone has Aseity, that He is immortal without beginning and without end, self sustained in His existence which preceded all time and creation and, His existence, continues forever; God’s existence is infinite. This God is above all that He has created and transcendent in all that He has created. There is nothing apart from nor outside of God that He has not created. He created all that has been created ex nihilo, that is from nothing by His infinite power. Nothing that is created has aseity. Time is only an aspect of that which has been created by God. Time is therefore part of God’s creation. God is not limited by His creation, this includes that God is not limited by time. God is Omnipotent and Omniscient and Ubiquitos and with eternal complete foresight: Almighty and All seeing and knowing and equally present everywhere and knowing all things before their creation and all events before they come to pass unto eternity. There is no way to God but through the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity Who is the Lord Jesus Christ, in Whom alone there is salvation by His Most Holy Cross and Resurrection. Creation had a beginning but will continue unto the eternal ages to come. At the return of Jesus Christ from God the Father’s right hand in the third heaven and the just judgement of Christ of His creatures, creation will be cleansed by fire (the damned, both angels and men consigned to hell forever) and renewed with paradise restored, with the presence around God of all His elect angels and saints, and continue in this way forever.

Salvation by Christ is by His Kenosis (the elect angels do not stand in need of salvation for they never sinned and are God’s servants forever).

Holy Holy Holy Lord God of hosts who will return in glory and in flaming fire taking vengeance upon those who know not God and who obey not the Lord Jesus Christ

Heb:5:
1 ¶ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
3 And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
4 Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.
5 So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee.
6 As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.
7 Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence.
8 And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
9 And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation:
10 ¶ Called by God a high priest, according to the order of Melchisedech.
11 Of whom we have much to say and hard to be intelligibly uttered: because you are become weak to hear.
12 For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that is a partaker of milk is unskilful in the word of justice: for he is a little child.
14 But strong meat is for the perfect: for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.
(DRV)

St. Paul explains this same thing with different wording in Philippians.

Phil:2:
5 For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.
8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.
9 For which cause, God also hath exalted him and hath given him a name which is above all names:
10 That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:
11 And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
(DRV)

This is crucial to our understanding of Christ’s mission to save us. In the above “emptied” is kenosis in the Greek. Christ’s kenosis (He Who is the Immortal Son of God and has always existed from before He created anything, His emptying out of Himself for us and to us) consists of “taking the form of a servant” at His incarnation of the Blessed Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit, “being made in the likeness of men” extremely important — His incarnation in the flesh, “in habit found as a man” this part explains phrases like “learned obedience”. Jesus never had to learn anything for Himself since He is God and Omniscient – All Knowing. But He willed to be born and grow up and be taught by Joseph and Mary. Think about it, it was the Blessed Virgin who taught Him the Psalms that He was the Mediator for David to receive by inspiration of the Holy Spirit and record for us. In simple terms He taught David the Psalms and willed that Mary would teach Him on earth the same psalms, though, of course He knew them already. So all references to His learning and growing and being perfected are only those things that He willed to go through for two basic reasons for our sakes. Number two first: to show us what our attitude and efforts should be on His behalf as His ambassadors to the rest of mankind. He “learned” but is actually teaching us. Number one in importance: “being made in the likeness of men” extremely important — His incarnation in the flesh. St. Athanasius Contra Mundum (against the world [opposing heresy]) addresses this when he explains that had Christ the Immortal Son of the Father in the Unity and Power of the Holy Spirit simply have erased Adam’s sin then the natural debt we all inherited to die from that sin would have meant that all men would die forever and be lost since God doesn’t lie and He pronounced that the separation of man from God due to sin would by the natural property of human nature make anything else impossible. In other words if God simply erased the sin He would have erased men as well thereby. Worst yet, St. Athanasius tells us, the devil would thereby have won that round. But what God did, the Son, Who because of His Divine substance/essence – nature cannot die, is to take upon himself the real human nature of all men subsumed from Mary — and therefore of Adam (see the genealogies in St. Matthew’s, Chapter 1, and St. Luke’s, Chapter 3, Gospels; in St. Luke’s Gospel all the way back to Adam). Since of Adam, then, of all men. Since He had and has that nature in total union with His divine nature, when he suffered and died (it is in this sense that St. Paul says “learned obedience”) in our place as the ransom from death then we become sons and daughters by adoption unto real eternal life at the future Return of Christ and the General Resurrection of the flesh, each of us, our bodies reunited with our same soul and same spirit. Therefore death, which insured that God’s law would be obeyed, was originally God’s way to insure that man would not become a diabolic creature totally in bondage to the devil, incapable of being in union with the Holy God, Himself. Christ took death, merited by all men, upon Himself preserving what God had said to Adam and Eve “upon that day (of disobedience) you will die”. Therefore, Christ’s death, then becomes the ransom to bring us out of thralldom to the devil and into union with God in Christ. Christ’s Resurrection then becomes the guarantor of our resurrection — which will absolutely happen. This is a brief description of Christ’s kenosis. Christ’s kenosis is the weightiest subject in the whole Bible. Christ’s obedience loosed the debt of Adam’s disobedience as Mary’s obedience undid the knot of Eve’s disobedience (that last is from St. Irenaeus). A note of warning: those who retie the knot of Eve’s disobedience and who bind themselves again in the debt of Adam’s disobedience by becoming part of pagan religions, who profess atheism or agnosticism, who follow after the Antichrist or who walk not in God’s commandments though they pretend to be Christ’s, will certainly be resurrected, but to eternal undying destruction in the lake of fire with the devil and all the fallen angels and all of the demons. Only the saints will inherit paradise with the elect angels in this universe recreated by God at the second coming of Jesus Christ at the end of this age of grace.

Christmas Lesson One

The blessed light of Saints above,
Sweet hope of mortals here below,
Art thou, O Jesu, who the love
Of human home and hearth didst know.

O Mary, thou art full of grace,
Who careth for Jesus with tender love,
And kissed his blessed, smiling face
Whilst in thine arms he took his rest.

O Joseph, thou of all our race
Elected wast to guard the fame
Of Mary, Virgin full of grace,
And give her Son a father's name.

O Mary! Joseph! holy twain
From Jesse's root and David's seed,
Who ushered in salvation's reign,
Help all who at Christ's altars plead.

The sun declineth towards the west,
And dusk of night is drawing near,
O take to God the heart's behest
Of each and all who linger here.

Sweet home of Nazareth, in thee
All grace and virtue can we see;
Lord, grant each Christian home to be,
Like thine, a holy family.

Praise God, who served, whilst here on earth,
Joseph, and her who gave him birth;
Whom with the Father, we adore,
And Holy Spirit, for evermore. Amen.



The Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ


Christmas!

The fast prior to the feast of our Lord Jesus Christ’s Nativity in the ancient Church was six weeks in the East and six weeks in St. Ambrose’s liturgical tradition in the West as well. The importance of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ cannot be overstated. As is apparent below absolutely linked to that is the Church’s confession of literal creation. God literally did just what He said and in that is alone the true revelation of God and His Christ and the only salvation which is in the true Christ Jesus and not some evolutionary cosmic Gnostic pseudo-Christ which is actually the Antichrist and damnation.

In the East the time is reckoned thusly.

The 532-year cycle is calculated from the creation of Adam, which, as we know, took place on Friday, March 1, 5508 B.C. - the base date on which the entire calendar system of the Orthodox Church is based.


And from the traditional liturgy going back centuries in the West, on the feast of the Nativity.

"In the 5,199th year of the creation of the world, from the time when God in the beginning made out of nothing the heavens and the earth; the 2,957th year after the flood; the 2,015th year from the birth of Abraham; the 1,510th year from Moses and the going-out of the people of Israel from Egypt; the 1,032nd year from the anointing of David king; in the 65th week according to the prophecy of Daniel; in the 194th olympiad; the 752nd year from the foundation of the city of Rome; the 42nd year of the rule of Octavian Augustus, all the earth being at peace, in the sixth age of the world: Jesus Christ, the eternal God and Son of the eternal Father, willing to consecrate the world by His most merciful coming, being conceived by the Holy Spirit and nine months having passed since His conception, was born in Bethlehem of Juda of the Virgin Mary, being made man.


Mt:2:
1 ¶ When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem,
2 Saying: Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to adore him.
3 And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.
5 But they said to him: In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the prophet:
6 And thou Bethlehem the land of Juda art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come forth the captain that shall rule my people Israel.
7 Then Herod, privately calling the wise men learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them;
8 And sending them into Bethlehem, said: Go and diligently inquire after the child, and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I also may come and adore him.
9 ¶ Who having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the East, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.
10 And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, andfalling down they adored him: and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country.
13 ¶ And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him.
14 Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod:
15 That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 ¶ Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry: and sending killed all the menchildren that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying:
18 A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 ¶ But when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph in Egypt,
20 Saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel. For they are dead that sought the life of the child.
21 Who arose, and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 But hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the room of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither: and being warned in sleep retired into the quarters of Galilee.
23 And coming he dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was said by the prophets: That he shall be called a Nazarene.


St. Ignatius (Apostolic Father) to the Ephesians

Now the virginity of Mary was hidden from the prince of this world, as was also her offspring, and the death of the Lord; three mysteries of renown,(5) which were wrought in silence by(6) God. How, then, was He manifested to the world?(7) A star shone forth in heaven above all the other stars, the light of Which was inexpressible, while its novelty struck men with astonishment. And all the rest of the stars, with the sun and moon, formed a chorus to this star, and its light was exceedingly great above them all. And there was agitation felt as to whence this new spectacle came, so unlike to everything else [in the heavens]. Hence every kind of magic was destroyed, and every bond of wickedness disappeared; ignorance was removed, and the old kingdom abolished, God Himself being manifested in human form for the renewal of eternal life. And now that took a beginning which had been prepared by God. Henceforth all things were in a state of tumult, because He mediated the abolition of death.


Lk:2:
1 ¶ And it came to pass that in those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled.
2 This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria.
3 And all went to be enrolled, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of the house and family of David.
5 To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
6 And it came to pass that when they were there, her days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her first born son and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger: because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 ¶ And there were in the same country shepherds watching and keeping the night watches over their flock.
9 And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them and the brightness of God shone round about them: and they feared with a great fear.
10 And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy that shall be to all the people:
11 For, this day is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God and saying:
14 Glory to God in the highest: and on earth peace to men of good will.
15 And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us.
16 And they came with haste: and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
17 And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.
18 And all that heard wondered: and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 ¶ And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 And after the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord:
23 As it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord:
24 And to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the lawof the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons:
25 ¶ And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon: and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel.And the Holy Ghost was in him.
26 And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
28 He also took him into his arms and blessed God and said
29 Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace:
30 Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:
32 A light to the revelation of the Gentiles and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 And his father and mother were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him.
34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall and for the resurrection of many in Israel and for a sign which shall be contradicted.
35 And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts thoughts may be revealed.
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser. She was far advanced in years and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity.
37 And she was a widow until fourscore and four years: who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day.
38 Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord: and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel.
39 And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their city Nazareth.
40 And the child grew and waxed strong, full of wisdom: and the grace of God was in him.
41 ¶ And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,
43 And having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And his parents knew it not.
44 And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day's journey and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance.
45 And not finding him,they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them and askingthem questions.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers.
48 And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? Behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be about my father's business?
50 And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them.
51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and grace with God and men.

But do Thou O Lord have mercy upon us,

Thanks be to God.

Our Help is in the Name of the Lord,

Who made the heavens and the earth.

Liars, murderers and thieves condemned by Our Lord Jesus Christ

Liars, murderers and thieves condemned by Our Lord Jesus Christ

In that regard we must heed what Our Lord Jesus Christ tells us.

1 John Chapter 1

He declares what he has seen and heard of Christ who is the life eternal, to the end that we may have fellowship with God and all good through him. Yet so if we confess our sins.

1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and our hands have handled, of the word of life.
1:2 For the life was manifested: and we have seen and do bear witness and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father and hath appeared to us.
1:3 That which we have seen and have heard, we declare unto you: that you also may have fellowship with us and our fellowship may be with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

3 John Chapter 1

1:1 The Ancient, to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
1:2 Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously and fare well, as thy soul doth prosperously.
1:3 I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

John Chapter 8

8:12 Again therefore, Jesus spoke to: them, saying: I am the light of the world. He that followeth me walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

8:18 I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.

8:19 They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.

8:23 And he said to them: You are from beneath: I am from above. You are of this world: I am not of this world.

8:24 Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin.
8:25 They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you.

8:43 Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
8:44 You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he peaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
8:45 But if I say the truth, you believe me not.
8:46 Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me:
8:47 He that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.

8:58 Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, that before Awraham [Abraham] existed to you I say truly truly Yeshua and Yeshua {Yahweh and The Word Jesus Christ, God and His Son Jesus Christ – the I AM, The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit together God pre-existent before they created everything else. This is the Declaration by Jesus Christ Himself that He is God – nothing can supercede this, nothing can change this, anyone who denies it will be crushed to powder see: Christ Jesus is the Stone Matthew 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this Stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.}

John Chapter 10

Christ is the door and the good shepherd. He and his Father are one.

10:1 Amen, amen, I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber.
10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3 To him the porter openeth: and the sheep hear his voice. And he calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out.
10:4 And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5 But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
10:6 This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke.
10:7 Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
10:8 All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not.
10:9 I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in and go out, and shall find pastures.
10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they may have life and may have it more abundantly.
10:11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.
10:12 But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf casteth and scattereth the sheep,
10:13 And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.
10:14 I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me.
10:15 As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.
10:16 And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd.
10:17 Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
10:18 No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself. And I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

John Chapter 14

Christ's discourse after his last supper.

14:1 Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God: believe also in me.
14:6 Jesus saith …: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.
14:13 Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14 If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do.
14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
14:16 And I will ask the Father: and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever:

Paraclete. . .That is, the comforter: or the advocate; inasmuch as by inspiring prayer, he prays, as it were, in us, and pleads for us.

14:17 The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him. But you shall know him; because he shall abide with you and shall be in you.
14:20 In that day you shall know that I am in my Father: and you in me, and I in you.
14:21 He that hath my commandments and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.
14:23 Jesus answered and said to him: If any one love me, he will keep my word. And my Father will love him and we will come to him and will make our abode with him.
14:26 But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.

Matthew Chapter 14

Herod puts John to death. Christ feeds five thousand in the desert. He walks upon the sea, and heals all the diseased with the touch of his garment.

14:1 At that time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.

Tetrarch. . .This word, derived from the Greek, signifies one that rules over the fourth part of a kingdom: as Herod then ruled over Galilee, which was but the fourth part of the kingdom of his father.

14:2 And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.
14:3 For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother's wife.
14:4 For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her.
14:5 And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet.
14:6 But on Herod's birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod.
14:7 Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him.
14:8 But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist.
14:9 And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given.
14:10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
14:11 And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.
14:12 And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus.
14:13 Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by a boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities.
14:14 And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
14:15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now passed: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy hemselves victuals.
14:16 But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give you them to eat.
14:17 They answered him: We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes.
14:18 Who said to them: Bring them hither to me.
14:19 And when he had commanded the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves o his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments.
14:21 And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.
14:22 And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people.
14:23 And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone.
14:24 But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary.
14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea.
14:26 And they seeing him walking upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear.
14:27 And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not.
14:28 And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters.
14:29 And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat walked upon the water to come to Jesus.
14:30 But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid: and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me.
14:31 And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
14:32 And when they were come up into the boat, the wind ceased.
14:33 And they that were in the boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God.
14:34 And having passed the water, they came into the country of Genesar.
14:35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent into all that country, and brought to him all that were diseased.
14:36 And they besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment. And as many as touched, were made whole.

See: Christmas 2010

“Why are the Jews intractably bent on evil?” The answer has to be their adherence to the Talmud and even more so their complete formal opposition to Jesus Christ who is Goodness and Truth in Person. If you look at the core of Talmudic Zionism, it is none other than Lurianic Cabalism which worships Satan on purpose. It is no accident that Jesus Christ said to the Jews: John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.” It will not change, except for individual Jews who renounce Judaism. Therefore, whatever means are necessary must be used to stop them from their terrorist activities.

By the way, one of the things that is adduced as a secondary proof of Biblical truth is that God did not allow the sins of even His chosen vessels to be ignored in the Holy Bible i.e. Adam, Abraham, David, to mention a few. Our Lord Jesus Christ is of course sinless. That kind of honesty is not found in any other religious writing except the Holy Qur’an. There are also, Masoretic lies incorporated into the Old Testament. These are not part of the original autographs of the Old Testament, but are Jewish lies. That belongs to the first group I mentioned – God’s honesty about even His chosen vessels’ sins. Now, speaking to you and I as Christians the Church Fathers point out that the faithful of the Old Testament had much less in terms of the gifts of God to them than we who are delivered to do right by the Holy blood of Jesus Christ. We have the much greater responsibility to do much more better. And of course if you compare Abraham or even David to Benji Netanyahu, there is utterly no comparison.

Jesus Christ said, and He is the Just Judge:

Luke 12:48
But he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more.

This first is the Judgment of people of God – that is those who are admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven (that salvation is by the various covenants of God and is offered to all people ever born).

Matthew 25:30
And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

In the concordance of scriptures arraigned by the full consensus of the Church Fathers, this [the unprofitable servant] is Judas Iscariot and then all perfidious Jews.

This second, Matthew 25:30, is the Judgment of perfidious Jews – damnation, period. If they don’t renounce Judaism and come to God for forgiveness and do right, they are damned.

So very true all that you say. But this also, Our Lord Jesus Christ said:

Matthew 22:44 The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?

Matthew 22:44 The Lord said to my Lord, .... See John 8:58 [v.47 Aramaic/Hebrew] that before Awraham existed to you I say truly truly Yeshua and Yeshua - The Lord, God the Father, said to my Lord, God the Son Jesus Christ. See John 8:58 above.

Mark 12:36
For David himself saith by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool.

Acts Of Apostles 2:34
For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,

Our Holy Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will return and avenge His little ones. He said:

Luke 18:7,8
And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard? I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?

That lack of faith includes Zionism, Communism, Secularism, Evolutionary theories that deny scriptural truth and lies spread abroad to defame those who humbly believe the truth of God. In particular it includes secular evolutionary theories spewed by the devil’s spawn of ZioCommunist Neo-Nazis who try to set God’s people at one another, especially Christians and Muslims while pretending to unite them. But unite them in what? In a denial of their own faith and prattling about tired old Communist clichés of evolutionary pantheistic syncretist religiosity and SO CALLED historico-critical-analyses made to serve a godless totalitarian state – a sure recipe for being enslaved by the Dajjal, the Antichrist.

Holy Bible

Proverbs 12:8
A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.

2 Timothy 3:7
Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.

Holy Qur'an

006:021And who does more evil than he who invents a lie against Allah or rejects His Sign? But truly the evildoers shall never prosper.

007.054 Your Guardian-Lord is God, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then He established Himself on the Throne (of authority): He draweth the night as a veil o'er the day, each seeking the other in rapid succession: He created the sun, the moon, and the stars, (all) governed by laws under His command. Is it not His to create and to govern? Blessed be God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!
This proclaims the pre-existence of the Word of God

004.171 O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was an Apostle of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in God and His Messengers. Say not "three [gods]" : desist: it will be better for you: for God is One God: Glory be to Him: above having a son [truly the Glory seen in His Son Jesus Christ but not in the pagan sense of earthly begetting of false gods such as Zeus and Leto]. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is God as a Disposer of affairs.

See these Biblical verses in agreement with the above Surah 4 - Ayat 171.

Hebrews 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus:

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

2 Cor. 3:17 Now the Lord is a Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all beholding the Glory of the Lord [Jesus Christ] with open face, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Apostle is the One who comes forth from God, in this case Jesus Christ the Messiah Himself, born of the Holy Spirit and the blessed virgin Mary, as both Christian truth and Islam teach.

He is the pre-existent Word of God through whom all things were created.
And through the Messiah Jesus Christ alone is the gift of the Holy Spirit of God to all who believe in Him.

This verse from the Gospel (Injil of John) of says the truth - John 3:13 And no man hath ascended [in the flesh and remains until He comes back from again] into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.

He came forth, therefore the Apostle of God, the Word descended from heaven and became Incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the blessed virgin Mary, hence He is the Son of man - Incarnate from the flesh of Mary by the Holy Spirit, while remaining the Son of God (that is the pre-existent Word of God) now Incarnate, the son of Mary.
Therefore the heavenly host sang at His birth -

Luke 2:11 For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying: 14 Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will.

Notice the blessing that is upon the Christ Child and in Him and through Him on all of good will - peace. Therefore the blessing of Muslims upon Christ and His mother and the prophet of PBUH. Peace be upon him/her.

056.077 That this is indeed a Qur'an Most Honourable,

056.078 In Book well-guarded,

056.079 Which none shall touch but those who are clean:

056.080 A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

085.021 Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an,

085.022 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved

'Isa al-Maseeh, Jesus Christ, the word by whom all has been created by God, is by the teaching of God in the Injil (the Gospel) and the Qur'an, the all holy (always sinless - pure [Mary is also sinless by both the Injil and Qur'an]) servant of God to whom God reveals all things and who is the prophet of God which Moses foretold would come (Dt:18:15:15 ¶ The Lord thy God will raise up to thee a PROPHET of thy nation and of thy brethren like unto me: him thou shalt hear.)

019.030 He said: "I am indeed a servant of God: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;

019.031 "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;

019.032 "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;

019.033 "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!

019.034 Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.

019.035 It is not befitting to (the majesty of) God that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.

014.022 And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was God Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with God. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty."

Much disinformation has been spread by all sorts of people, none of it will change the truth, various Sayanim and Tel Aviv Cyber “bots” – French Jews and Falangists and Hippie Secular Communists and so many others. But it is true that, “de menteur n'a Jamais prospèrent ! ”
