werid that God will be a Spirit.
Christians and the bible are wrong in terms of understanding what it means that Jesus is the son of god.
When Jesus speaks of being a son of god, all he ever does is quote Psalms 82. In which that verse says - all are children of the most high/god.
In fact, he quotes that verse(John 10) and then queries those around him as to why they even question such a thing or think it abnormal.
However, there are actually 2 births. There is the birth of the flesh, and there is the birth of the spirit. The flesh of Jesus is born of Mary
and Joesph. However, the true virgin from which Jesus is born is of the father, and that is the birth of the spirit.
Christians think of Mary as the virgin, but this is just done to deceive people so they don't realize the truth. Jesus says that all must be born
of the spirit, just as he was. All must be born of the father and to realize that they are really nothing more than spirit.
In fact, Jesus even denies Mary is his mother, thus invalidating the entire Christian idea on that. And tells all people to call no man on earth
father, because the only true father is god.
Being born of spirit is described in John 14. On the day it happens to you, then you will know the father is within and also what the true nature of
spirit and the father/son relationship is(john 14:20). This experience is followed by a teaching and a period of gaining understanding, and it can
happen to anyone regardless of their religion(John 14:24-26). When Jesus says he is the "only way to the father" in John 14:6, Christians don't
seem to realize that he is saying that he is the "way, the light, and the life", and so it is by those things that one comes by the father. The
way Christianity presents it is merely a way of gaining followers to their religion, not in regard to actually having that experience and finding the
father.
So there are 2 births. Your flesh is born of your parents, has the characteristics of your parents and so forth. It comes "from the dust of the
earth". But your spirit is born of the father. Technically you've already been born of the spirit since you exist, it's just a matter of
experiencing it and knowing it. It happened, but the experience itself is not known to you. Being born of the spirit is something ALL must
experience. No man can give it to you, no religion can provide it to you either.
Also, spirit is not another form of physical. Spirit is completely nonphysical in nature. It is the void. Spirit is where consciousness,
reason, understanding, being, and to be an observer come from. These things are all things which is impossible for the universe to have. I will
demonstrate this so you can maybe see.
How do you define yourself? If you look at the most materialistic of people, you will often see them defining themselves as their careers, their
house, their property. To a lesser extent, people define themselves based on the country they live in, maybe their families and children. And in
the least extent, we get to where people define themselves as their body/flesh.
But have you noticed what all these things have in common? They are all possessions. It's "your body", "Your arm", "Your brain". Yet, we
have not in the least started to define what it is that is possessing them have we? And you can't either, because in terms of the physical it is a
void. It just is.
Thus without the father within you, and without that spirit, then you would never be able to understand, you would not be an observer, you would not
have any feeling of "being". "You" do not exist without the father within. Without it, then you would be no different than a robot/AI. Of
which is nothing more than action and reaction following a pre-determined pattern(although very complex). No soul. No consciousness or any of
that.
Even the soul - that is a possession. "your" soul.
And so what is "you" in the end? The father. The father is that which possesses all things. And that is what Jesus was talking about and
tried to show people. People ask for other to "prove" it to them. But as it is all "within", it can't be proven externally, anymore than you
can prove what a pizza smells like to someone by any other means than for them to experience the smell themselves. Jesus is someone who knew,
understood and acted solely from the understanding of spirit, and knowing that in the end that is what he was. And as such did not value or do
things to save the flesh as others do.
Because to get people to believe they are nothing but flesh is the best method to get them to commit all forms of evil in order to save that flesh.
And so those who try to save themselves will end up losing themselves.
I'm not a Christian btw, I think Christianity is the anti-Christ religion Jesus warns of. But I am a big fan of the father and I have no doubt
that Jesus knew the father.
