Who Is Jesus?
According to "Hebrews 1:3- He (Jesus) is the radiance of God's glory, the exact expression of God's nature, and he sustains all things by his powerful word. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high"
Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the world, he who became a sin for us so that we might be the righteousness of God through him.
He died for our sins and made himself an atonement for our sins because of the love he had for us.
This is the same Jesus, who saved me from my terrible past. I was a smoker (junky), a drunk, a drug addict, a scammer(yahoo boy), was fetish and I was into all manner of sexual immorality(masturbation, fornication, pornography addict....) I am saved from all these by his grace and the love he has for me and for the whole world.
He saved my life, my soul, and my future from destruction and he gave me hope..
If Jesus christ could save me from my sins, he's prepared to save you and forgive you all your sins too.
Why don't you give your life to christ today
Jesus christ is knocking on the door of your heart, why don't you open the door of your heart for him

Jesus is now
He loves you
He's ready to save you
1 John 1:9 if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness..

The mythical jesus
Christianity was the ultimate product of religious syncretism in the ancient world. Its emergence owed nothing to a holy carpenter. There were many Jesuses but the fable was a cultural construct.

The nativity yarn is a concatenation of nonsense. The genealogies of Jesus, both Matthew's version and Luke's, are pious fiction. Nazareth did not exist in the 1st century AD – the area was a burial ground of rock-cut tombs.

With multiple authors behind the original gospel story it is no surprise that the figure of "Jesus" is a mess of contradictions. Yet the story is so thinly drawn that being a "good Christian" might mean almost anything.

The 12 disciples are as fictitious as their master, invented to legitimise the claims of the early churches. The original Mary was not a virgin, that idea was borrowed from pagan goddesses. The pagan world knew all about virgins getting pregnant by randy gods: The Mythical "Virgin Mother".

Scholars have known all this for more than 200 years but priestcraft is a highly profitable business and finances an industry of deceit to keep the show on the road.

"Jesus better documented than any other ancient figure"? Don't believe a word of it. Unlike the mythical Jesus, a real historical figure like Julius Caesar has a mass of mutually supporting evidence.

Is the story of King David and Bathsheba (Uriah's wife) real to you?
Does David's action makes God's laws invalid?
Does David's action nullifies the righteousness of pure worship?

This is what pure worship is expected to produce globally:

In the final part of the days, The mountain of the house of Jehovah Will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, And it will be raised up above the hills, And to it all the nations will stream. 3 And many peoples will go and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob. He will instruct us about his ways, And we will walk in his paths.” For law will go out of Zion, And the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem. He will render judgment among the nations And set matters straight respecting many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, Nor will they learn war anymore! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

Note what God's word said about pure worship during the final part of the days:

©People will come from all races to form pure worship.
©They will base their teachings on what they found in the scriptures.
©The Spirit of God will help them settle all their racial disparities among themselves.
©They will divert their resources into production of food and information materials.
©They will stop producing, buying, selling and usage of weapons.
©They will no longer enroll in military services.

Do this organization fulfil all these requirements?
Well if they do then what few individuals among them did is immaterial because the same happened during the time God declared the Israelites His people {Exodus 19:5} and don't forget the case of King David whom God said is a person after God's heart.
When God punished the Israelites it was due to what the majority turned out to be not what two individuals are doing among thousands doing God's will!
So pure worship is not to be measured by what an individual did but collectively as a group!

That's not the truth because i'm a member of this organization today and it's been read in all congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses that victims are free to make reports to the police.
But the problem is that most of this so called police are members of other religions who wants to blackmail God's organization so they can fabricate anything just to malign the organization. Make sure of all things not just reading online news targeted at gullible readers to create traffic online!

Jesus is God in human form. God or Heavenly Father comes to this world in every human generation to preach and uplift us known as Human incarnation of God. One shall meet Him and shall learn divine knowledge from Him. God alone knows about Him, hence He comes down in human form to preach about Himself. Whoever see such alive human form of God or Human incarnation of God has seen God directly. This is the only way by which we can meet God in this world. No other way than this way.

Jesus Christ never said He loves everyone though, so where does the claim in bold come from if He never said this. What He said instead is that His love is retained only for those who obey His teachings and commandments, meaning that those who reject Jesus Christ, along with those who claim to believe in Him yet refuse to obey His teachings and commandments do not experience His love - John 15 vs 7 - 11 & John 3 vs 16 - 21 & John 3 vs 36.

Lord Jesus was the Human Incarnation of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 10:40). The human body of Holy Jesus is like a metallic wire, which is pervaded all over by the Holy Spirit, which is like electric current. The Veda says “Antarbahishcha” which means that the Holy Spirit pervades all over the body of the Human Incarnation. Wherever you touch the wire, you receive an electric shock. Similarly, the entire human body of Holy Jesus is holy. Holiness is the nature of the Holy Spirit just like the shock is the property of electricity. As the electricity cannot be separated from the wire, the Holy Spirit cannot be separated from Holy Jesus. So here, the Holy Spirit is Holy Jesus. Holy Jesus refers to this Holy Spirit as His Father. He says that He was sent by His Father as a messenger. Although He and His Father are one and the same, He speaks like this for a practical reason; every human being repels another human being. A man cannot accept another man as God due to jealousy and ego. The Bhagavad Gita says, “Men insult Me when I come here in human form (Avajananti mam…). For this purpose, Holy Jesus wants Himself to be called only as a messenger of the Holy Spirit by His disciples, whenever He is introduced to the public. If He tells the truth to the egotistic public, they will not even listen to what He preaches and will simply reject Him. Therefore, He is telling His disciples to introduce Him only as a messenger. Of course, it is the disciples who are really the messengers of Holy Jesus.

The Holy Spirit has taken over the human body of Holy Jesus and pervaded all over the body to preach divine knowledge to this world. The same Holy Spirit is sending the disciples for the propagation of the divine knowledge. Both the body of Holy Jesus and the disciples are instruments of the Holy Spirit chosen for different purposes. The Holy Spirit is preaching through the body of Holy Jesus and is propagating the divine knowledge through the disciples. Therefore, if you respect the disciple you are respecting the Holy Spirit indirectly. Even though both the instruments exist like this, the Holy Spirit is present in Jesus and is not present in the disciples. Due to this difference, the disciple is an indirect instrument while the direct instrument is Holy Jesus alone. The disciple propagates the divine knowledge only after hearing it from Holy Jesus. Therefore, when such a disciple is respected, Holy Jesus is respected first and then the Holy Spirit. But among the disciples, there may be some person who cannot repeat exactly what Holy Jesus preached. In such a case the Holy Spirit will take over the body of that disciple and preach (Mathew 10: 20). Such a disciple differs from Holy Jesus because the Holy Spirit resides in that disciple only for some time whereas the Holy Spirit resides in Jesus all the time.

Holy Jesus says that He is the messenger of the Holy Spirit and He also says that the disciple is His messenger. He is giving the same status to Himself and the disciple by saying so. The reason is that some disciple may become jealous in the future if Holy Jesus says that He Himself is the Holy Spirit whereas the disciple is only His messenger. The difference in status may bring in jealousy. Therefore, He maintains equal status so that no devotee becomes jealous of Jesus in the future. Due to jealousy, the disciple might slip away from Holy Jesus.

When Holy Jesus says that He is only a messenger, it shows His humility and submissiveness. He wants His disciples to be humble and submissive to the Holy Spirit throughout their lives. For this purpose, He sets Himself as an ideal. The Holy Spirit present in the human body of Holy Jesus is the essence of true and infinite knowledge as the Veda says “Satyam jnanam anantam Brahma….” Humbleness and submissiveness are the fruits of the divine knowledge. Therefore, the humbleness and submissiveness are the qualities of the Holy Spirit itself. This means, that whatever Holy Jesus speaks is the statement of the Holy Spirit Itself.

The Only Love

Lord Jesus has said, “If any one comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can not be my disciple (Luke 14:26 to 27; Mathew 11:34 to 38)’’. Knowledge is compared to a sword. The Bhagavad Gita says “Jnanasinatmanah chhitva”. This means that ignorance should be cut by the knowledge, which is like a sword. The bonds with your wife or husband and children are due to ignorance. Such bonds should break when the Lord in human form competes with them to conduct His test.

The Lord comes in human form in every human generation to preach and give His direct presence. If the Lord comes only in one human generation, God becomes partial to that human generation because other human generations are not blessed with such an opportunity. To give the opportunity to see, touch, talk and live with the Human Incarnation, He comes down in response to the prayers of devotees. The Lord comes to preach and so He will not enter statues, animals or birds. The Veda says “Na tasya pratima asti’’, which means that God will not enter inert statues. The Gita says “Manusheem tanumashritam” which means that God enters the human body only because the main purpose is to preach to human beings. The Gita strongly says that he who worships inert statues will be born as an inert stone (“Bhootani yanti”). Christians should be commended on this point since they worship Holy Jesus alone, who is the most powerful Human Incarnation of God.

The Veda says “Na tat samah” which means that nobody and nothing should be equal to the Lord in human form. One should leave everything and everybody for the sake of the Lord in human form. The bond with all human beings can be broken only by forming a new bond with another human being. This new human being must be very powerful [to cause all the bonds with other human beings to break] and can only be God in human form. A new bond formed with the formless God or statues cannot break the bonds that we have with human beings. Only the bond with another living being can cut the bond with living beings. The bond with formless God is impossible. The bond with an inert statue has no use. The above statements of Holy Jesus indicate that one should cut the bonds with his family and with wealth.

In the Hindu religion too it is said that God (Datta) cuts all the bonds of family and wealth (Dattam chhinnam). Even the bond with the body should be cut for the sake of God. The Gita says the same thing as “Mat gata pranah”. Holy Jesus says that one has to carry his own cross (death) for the sake of the Lord. This means that one has to even invite his own death with his own hands for the sake of God. Holy Jesus did this as an ideal example for others. This means that you have to cut your bonds not only with your family and wealth but also with your life if necessary. Hanuman, a top devotee, tore his heart with his own nails for the sake of the Lord and was blessed by the Lord to be immortal. So when the devotee sacrifices his life, his life gets protected forever. The essence of this gospel is that love is proved only by practical sacrifice. The Veda says “Dhanena tyagenaike…” which means that the sacrifice of money alone proves real love. Money is the fruit of your work. So money is another form of work. If it is inconvenient to sacrifice money, at least you should sacrifice the other form of money, which is work for the sake of God [give up self-benefitting work and work (serve) for the sake of God]. All your family members are attached to you only due to the dependence on money. If there is no money, your entire family will leave you. You are also giving your money only to your family. Therefore, if the bond with money is cut and if the money is sacrificed to God, the family bonds are considered as vanished, even though the family may exist externally.

The work of God in human form is the propagation of His divine gospel. For doing such divine work, the family also stands as an obstacle because most of your energy is diverted to the family alone. Therefore, you do not have any energy to work for the sake of the Lord. Hence, Holy Jesus wanted His disciples to leave their families for the sake of God. The propagation work needs both money and work. Generally, everybody works to maintain his family. In the name of maintenance, several luxuries are introduced, which look like essential needs and thus there is no end for your work to earn money for the sake of your body and your family. Your blindness increases and you will put more and more efforts to work and earn money for the sake of the family bonds. In such a case you can never even see the human form of God. You should at least remove your blindness by the divine knowledge even if you cannot cut the actual bonds. Only people of very high devotion can cut the actual bonds. You are giving money to your family but you are giving mere words to God by your prayers and you are giving your mind to God through meditation. You are giving love to your family through your work and money, and are calling the sacrifice of words and the sacrifice of mind as love for God. You are fooling God! Your real love is only for your family and not for God. Holy Jesus tests your real love for God by these statements. The Christian Pope and priests and the Hindu Acharyas and saints left their families and concentrated completely on the work of God. Only such pious souls can be the representatives of God in this world.

Sacrifice of Wealth is the Way

Lord Jesus has said “Do not lay up for yourselves, treasures on earth”. “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:19 to 22; Luke 12: 33 to 34). He has also said “Not everyone who say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but He who does the will of My Father in Heaven” (Matthew 7:21).

Hindus particularly, are sacrificing words through prayers and feelings through the expression of love for the sake of God. When the question of wealth or money comes, they only sacrifice it for the sake of their families. This is the reason why India suffers with poverty. Swami Vivekananda wept loudly facing the sky asking, “Why India with such high spiritual knowledge is suffering with poverty?” Foreigners are not so good in prayers and expression of love or meditation as compared to Indians, but they sacrifice their money for the sake of God with full vigor. Therefore, God blesses those foreign countries with wealth and prosperity. Indians only sacrifice words and mind to God. Therefore, Indians are blessed with very good pronunciation of language and excellent knowledge, which are connected to words and the mind. The Gita says “Ye yatha mam prapadyante” which means that God gives you the result in the same way in which you worship Him. If you only worship Him with words (prayers) He will also appreciate you with sweet words [in return]. If you love Him with your mind and concentrate on Him through meditation, He will also love you in return with high concentration of mind. If you sacrifice practically, He will also do everything for you practically. Indians must learn this practical sacrifice from foreigners as they have learnt science and technology from the West.

Even in olden days, Indians were always doing exercises in the theoretical knowledge of God and in composing a lot of poems on God. Therefore, the same attitude entered even their education of science. They have become theorists even in science. The foreigners were less theoretical and more practical in spiritual things and therefore, that attitude entered their scientific education also and the foreigners have become the real practical scientists. Let Indians not be proud that they are masters in spirituality even if they are not [masters] in science. Though I am born in India, I deny this. Indians should follow the foreigners not only in science but also in spirituality by learning the practical aspect of both materialistic knowledge as well as divine knowledge.

Today in the world, everybody agrees that the real power is money alone. Money is the fruit of your work and the Bhagavad Gita calls the sacrifice of money as ‘karma phala tyaga’. In the Bhagavad Gita, it is said “Dhyanat karma phala tyagah” which means that devotion is greater than knowledge and the sacrifice of the fruit of work (money) is greater than devotion. Knowledge consists of intelligence and words. Devotion consists of mind and words. Sacrifice consists of heart and love. The proof of love is practical service, which is the practical sacrifice of work or money.

Money is needed to publish the gospel in the form of books for the propagation of divine knowledge and devotion. When you sacrifice your money for this divine work, your treasure in heaven is built up. This means that God will help you after your death and you will enter the kingdom of God. [Presently,] you are giving your earnings only to your family and so your real love is only for your family. There is no need of any further argument on this point because it is very clear proof. This is the real fire-test for your love. You are sacrificing valueless words and valueless mind in your leisure time, which is valueless time. This cannot be the proof of the real value of God in your heart. You must give real value to God. You finish your morning prayers and meditation on God as soon as the time to go to your job draws near. Similarly, when some work for the family comes up, you immediately leave the presence of God. Therefore, you are not giving any value to God for all practical purposes. But you are telling lies in your prayers that God is everything for you. Money is the final test and it can be the only test since your entire family is associated with you for the sake of money alone. Even in your oldage, your family serves you only for your money. The true colors of your love can be seen, when you are required to sacrifice your money for the sake of God. Sage Vasishtha told Lord Rama to first bring money as Guru dakshina (pious offering to the preacher) before preaching divine knowledge to Him (Dhana marjaya…). The preacher tested Rama’s love for God in terms Rama’s willingness to sacrifice money.

In the Vishnu Purana, Lord Vishnu says “Tasya vittam haramyaham” which means that he who sacrifices money for the sake of God, is really blessed. This looks quite odd for us that God would want our money! No, God does not want money because this entire world is His wealth alone as per the Veda (Kasyasvit dhanam…). You have taken money from His treasure for your needs and God permits this. But you have also taken extra money and you are storing it, which is not permitted by God. You have to return back that extra wealth to the Lord when He comes in human form for His divine work. Remember that you are returning His own money, which was stolen by you since He did not permit you to take extra money. Suppose you went to a friend’s house and he gave you a cup of milk. He permitted you to only take the milk but not the cup. You have stolen the cup also [extra earnings], which was not expected by your friend. You have to return that stolen cup to your friend secretly. Holy Jesus says that when you donate money to God by one hand, even the other hand should not come know about that donation. Since it is stolen money it should be returned secretly.

A father purchased some sweets and gave them to his child. The father is asking for one sweet from the child just to test the attitude and love of the child for him. Even if you do not give back God’s money to God, you will have to leave that money here itself and quit this world with empty hands. That extra money is left in this world itself, which is the bank of God. The devotee who donates the extra money to God for His divine work also quits this world empty-handed. But the former goes to hell as a thief while the latter goes to the Kingdom of God because he returned the stolen money of God. When you return this extra money, you must be very careful to see that this money reaches God alone and not others. God dwells in two places:

In the body of Human Incarnation of God (Son of God; God-man)

In the heart of a real devotee.

When money is donated to the Human Incarnation of God or the real devotee, that money is properly used to uplift humanity. In such social service the God-man or the real devotee will use a lot of discrimination due to their divine knowledge and the money donated by you will be properly spent. Instead of doing practical sacrifice of money or at least work [voluntary service], if you merely say prayers, express love and do meditation they are like serving God with only the side pickles in the plate of meals, without any central bread or rice. When God eats only the pickles which are served by you, His stomach burns due to high acidity and God becomes furious. Due to His anger the extra money stored by you goes waste through diseases etc. [If you pass on that money to your children,] your children might also lose that money and they will not blessed in any way in their lives. This gospel of Holy Jesus should open the eye of knowledge of all Hindus and make them learn practical sacrifice from foreigners. Holy Jesus referred to such people who do not give up their extra money for God’s work saying that they can never reach God even if a camel manages to pass through the eye of a needle. His Gospel refers to such selfish rich people, who are caught up in the net of their limited families.
