Who was Mary Magdalene in the Bible? Who was Zacheaus? Who did Jesus even come to the earth for? Ehhhhh assistance Jesus?
Idiots everywhere

The popular Mary Magdalene represents the repentant sinner, lifted from the depths of whoredom by her romantic love for Jesus—proof that even the lowliest can be saved through repentance and devotion.


Yet this is a very different picture from the one the Gospels give us. How did this happen? And when? And why?

In all four Gospels the Magdalene participates in Jesus’ Galilean ministry, she follows him to Jerusalem, she mourns at his crucifixion and on, the first Easter, she goes to his tomb and finds it empty. Except in the Gospel of Luke, she is said to have been sent with a commission to proclaim to the disciples that Jesus had been raised from the dead. According to the three accounts in Matthew 28:1–10, John 20:14–18, and Mark 16:9 (the Marcan additiona), she is the first to whom the risen Jesus appears. In short, Mary Magdalene is the primary witness to the fundamental data of early Christian faith.

The earliest reference to the Magdalene in Jesus’ life comes during his Galilean ministry. In Luke, in a passage without parallels in the other Gospels, we learn that while traveling with his disciples, Jesus healed some women of evil spirits and infirmities. One of them—the first named—is the Magdalene, from whom Jesus exorcised seven demons:

“[H]e went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him, as well as some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their resources” (Luke 8:1–3).

Mary is called Magdalene because she is from the town of Magdala, generally identified with the site of Migdal on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. She, along with other women, travels with Jesus and the 12 disciples.

But, as we shall see, as early as the period when the Gospels were written (late first to second centuries C.E) the Magdalene’s role is gradually diminished and distorted. In the Pauline corpus, she is not mentioned at all, not even in the passage in 1 Corinthians 15:3–8 that lists those to whom Jesus made post-resurrection appearances.

In the passage from Luke we just looked at, she and the other women are cast in a subordinate role of service and support to the males in the movement. In Luke (and in Acts, which was probably written by the same author) the 12 disciples—all men—are the major witnesses and leaders.

But does this reflect the actual experience of Jesus’ original followers? In the passage from Luke, the women “provided for them out of their resources.” The Greek verb translated here as “provided for” is diakonein, which means to serve, wait on, minister to as a deacon. Although some ancient manuscript authorities have the women ministering to “him” (that is, to Jesus alone), instead of “them,” the canonical text of Luke 8:3 has “them.” In Mark 15:41 and Matthew 27:55, however, the women, including the Magdalene, who watched Jesus’ crucifixion from afar, are identified as women who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him. That Luke has the women ministering to the disciples is consistent with his general tendency to subordinate the role of women.




Why did Jesus take particular interest on Zacchaeus?

God/Jesus is all about timing and using supernatural knowledge gained through His relationship with The Holy Spirit. Jesus lived in a fleshly body while on earth so He got information the same way that Christians do today—through the same Holy Spirit. In Jesus ministry verse he aludes to this fact,

“the spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me” (Luke 4:18).

Jesus promises to send “the Spirit of Truth” after He departs from the earth, which he does on the Day of Pentecost. See, John 14:15–21 regarding His promise.

So Jesus was getting input and power from The Holy Spirit as he walked and ministered to people.
[b]
Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector but he is a jew. The jews have Great 10 commandments which was given by Jehovah to the abhramic covenant people.
Zacchaeus was on the bottom rung as far as people around him were concerned because he became wealthy at the hands of his fellow Jews as he was working under roman empire collecting much more ransome compared to the assigned tax money from the people.

At the time of jesus ministry, zaccheaus heard about jesus. if you keenly read the bible verse, it shows that he to somewhat believed the coming of Messiah.

Zacchaeus was literally up a tree in more than one way. Zacchaeus wished to see this man, Jesus, that everyone talked about. Because he was short, there was little chance that would happen.

A nearby sycamore-fig tree was the perfect spot for him. The branches were wide and the trunk squatty providing a prestigious viewing angle to see this famous minister and preacher. Jesus is quick to see the opportunity to pick Zacchaeus out in the crowd and accept this questionable character. Onlookers murmur with discontent as Jesus received this man with open arms.

Jesus also knew through The Holy Spirit that Zacchaeus was ready for a miracle and change. Zacchaeus desired to see a glimpse of Jesus, but in the process he became a new person.

"And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:9–10).

Instantly Zacchaeus has a generous heart promising to give 50% of his money to the poor. That's a radical, on-the-spot change made possible by the anointing of The Holy Spirit on Jesus!

Your friend in Christ, not in one pope like that.


Did you see all those examples wanted to change and believed in Christ, the gays and lesbians your pope engage in, what is the Exact similarities between them and these examples.

Now, I will give you historical examples why your catholic is the house of the devil and popes and all those your religious sentiments hookwires of the devil.


The Vatican is a place of grandeur and opulence, with its own God-anointed bank to help oversee its administration. In fact, Popes Benedict and John Paul II both had their bedrooms just two floors above it!

In the Bible, it states that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven.

Yet for years, the Vatican has been funnelling billions of euros between various foreign banks, accumulating as much as possible to invest in lucrative property deals






There was a time in which news of a scandal in the Vatican shocked the world. However, as story after story is unveiled, and the global number of Catholics diminishes, the mere mention of priests, the Vatican, and even the pope himself conjures up images of corruption, decadence, and depravity. It epitomises the rotting nature of the religious institutions that have been a pillar of class society for so long.

The Vatican is a place of grandeur and opulence, with its own God-anointed bank to help oversee its administration. In fact, Popes Benedict and John Paul II both had their bedrooms just two floors above it!


The latest scandal

In October 2019, the offices of the Vatican’s Secretariat of State were raided. The purpose of the Secretariat of State is to be custodian of charitable donations made to the Church by Catholics around the world. Law enforcement officers seized a number of items that held evidence of the most recent scandal to hit the Church.

In the raid, it was found that high officials were using church money to invest in real estate in London and elsewhere. In particular, luxury apartments in Chelsea, south west London, saw $200m worth of investment. The Church preaches the virtue of helping those less fortunate, while profiting off the heavily inflated London housing market that is making life miserable for so many.

It was also revealed that the secretariat had been considering investing in oil fields in Angola. God created the earth, according to the Bible, but the Vatican will cheerfully invest in oil fields that will pollute and kill it.

Not only is the Church is gambling on the property market, but speculative investments were found to have been funded by borrowing from discredited institutions and applying for grants on misleading information. Just like the most unscrupulous hedge fund managers, the Vatican is playing around with speculation and bets to try and make as much money as it can. What was uncovered were heaps of cases of money laundering, embezzlement and fraud.



A history of dodgy financial dealings
Back in 2010, the Bank of Italy launched an investigation into the finances of the Vatican and found it to be transferring billions of euros between different commercial banks yearly. Since then, the Church is increasingly being forced to open itself up to external investigation, which have brought to light all sorts of dodgy dealings.

In 2013, one of its biggest cases of corruption took place. Nunzio Szigarno was the auditor of the property administration of the Apostolic See. He went by the nickname Monzignor Nunzio Szigarno because he was known to carry on his person $500 bills. Eventually, his decadent lifestyle raised too many eyebrows. Both he and a former secret service agent were arrested for fraud in 2013 on suspicion of smuggling 20 million euros via private plane to Switzerland. The case is still going through appeals.

All of this corruption can be done smoothly, thanks to the existence of the Vatican bank. The set up of the economy of the Vatican state is very useful for those who wish to exploit it. With little-to-no oversight whatsoever of the Vatican’s finances, billion-euro property deals and other transactions can be carried out with a minimum of fuss or accountability. As well as the billions it receives from Catholics all over the world via donations, the Vatican has a unique set of rules with Rome, and the EU, to ensure its continued revenue. Mostly, this involves a series of tax loopholes, with no tariffs on any imports or exports to the state.

In a capitalist world, where greedy and corrupt bankers can get away with murder, as we saw in 2008 when the economy crashed and the banks were bailed out while the rest of us have been made to pay, the Vatican is the most degenerate den of financial misdoings on the planet.

The failing power of the Church
The last few decades have seen a relative weakening of the influence of the Catholic Church, with various political crises unfolding over whether to move in a more ‘liberal’ direction or strictly adhere to its religious dogma. This political turmoil came to the fore when, in 2013, Pope Benedict XVI abdicated from the role, the first pope to do so since 1415.

The seemingly endless scandals of paedophilia and abuse that have been unearthed, especially in recent years, have delivered crushing blows to the Vatican’s authority. And as the Church’s moral authority has eroded over the years, so too has its seemingly unimpeachable financial standing. Scandal after scandal have chipped away at the markets’ confidence in the Vatican’s finances, and has given confidence to its competitors.

For a long time, Catholic churches were exempt from paying tax on any properties that had a chapel. Their size didn’t matter. This allowed the Vatican to avoid paying at least four billion euros’ worth of tax on hundreds of properties in Rome.

But now, the European Court of Justice has ruled that this practice was illegal and ordered the Vatican to pay back €4bn in post-dated tax. The Court ruling is illustrative of the fall from grace that the Church has suffered. Where it once had powerful friends in every country, now it finds the smiles have turned to snarls


[color=#000000]
While the specifics of the Church’s influence are dependent on each country and its history, its fundamental role in upholding class society remains unchanged wherever it is found. It’s therefore no surprise that, in particular, the Church has always been a bulwark against communism and the spread of revolutionary ideas. In 1949, under Pope Pius XII the Vatican issued the Decree against Communism, demanding that any Catholic professing communist ideas be excommunicated. Even the ‘progressive’ Pope Francis banned books on Marxism in his past.


As the crisis of capitalism deepens, this impacts its ideological defenders. All the pillars that currently hold up the capitalist system are being shaken to their foundations. At one time, the Church could be used to stabilise situations of unrest. Now it seems less likely that it will be able to play that role.

One scandal after another has rocked the Catholic Church, shaking its moral authority to its foundations

The number of people attending church in Europe is rapidly decreasing, especially young people, and donations coming in from Catholics are drying up. This is linked to the hatred many people feel toward the institution, its abuses, corruption, and privileges.

The recent referenda in Ireland on gay marriage and abortion are an indication of how the Church is losing its grip. In some cases, evangelicals are spending time in African countries to try to ‘win the debate’ elsewhere. But none of this will reverse the trend, which is born of the crisis of capitalism itself.

As the class struggle develops all over the world, the Church will be increasingly forced to expose itself as a counter-revolutionary force. The fight for international socialism will sweep it into the dustbin of history along with the capitalist system as a whole.

The scandals we are witnessing in the Church at the moment are just small cracks, which will be forced open by the approaching class struggle to bring the vaunted Vatican and Catholic Church crashing down to earth.

GEJ was a gentle man that was educated, he is not vindictive like the stark illiterates and career criminal certificate forgers we had after.

Sanusi was never going to be prosecuted for anything, he stepped on toes yes, but he paid his dues.

He may become a president in the future.

Daejumong:
General overseers need to treat local church pastors the way Jesus treated his disciples !

The average salary of a pastor in Nigeria is 30,000 to 40,000 Naira ( 30-40USD) a month! How can a pastor with a family survive on this? With the prevailing conditions in the country, GOs need to up their pay. These pastors are crying and unhappy ! Many of them work full time and don’t have any other source of income!

These pastors have to also ensure that a large percentage of income generated in church through tithes and offerings are sent to the headquarters on a weekly basis! I have had some of these devoted pastors tell me how they feel sad that the headquarters takes almost everything and they have little or nothing to run their local churches!

I find this preposterous, someone slaves away to build a local ministry and sends almost everything to the headquarters for the big boy at the top to live large with his family! GOs are not more important, special or better than any child of God.

Gal 3: 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

The General overseers in the headquarters fly private jets, drive bulletproof luxury cars and live a life of luxury while the foot soldiers( pastors in local churches) wallow in poverty!
Jesus was difficult to separate from his disciples because they had the same quality of life hence the need to have a Judas betray him when the time arose.

I am looking forward to a time when it will be difficult to separate pastors of local branches from the GOs. A time when they will all wear same quality of suits, drive same quality of cars, have access to fly the private jets and also have same quality of life! That is when I will be convinced the GOs really want to be like Jesus!

All in all, General overseers need to be more considerate and put less financial pressure on their pastor foot soldiers. They should also pay them decent salaries(minimum of 100k/mth and ensure the financial gap between them and their pastors is significantly narrowed!
Mark 10:43-45
43 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Kindly share so this will get to the GOs!

Who asked them not to have other sources of income?

If you ain't okay with what you are getting, get another hustle and quit the damn stupidity and slavery.

And Jesus didn't pay anyone. You must be a fool to include Jesus in tHis Nonsense you wrote. Jesus even told all His disciples to make sure they have a handiwork, which of his disciples didn't have a vocation?

Nonsense people called christians who don't know shishi about Christ. You can say your bullshit But never include Christ in it, that is where I flare in.

did i tell u that i am a muslim? i just asked a question

Muslims do lie often and deny their faith when I say these things to them, so I am not surprised.

Mandate1:
putting Catholic among ur writeup shows you know nothing about Christianity.

The foundation of whatever you have as Christianity you now boast of started from the Catholic Church.

You can preach Christianity without insulting yourself and others. I see nothing but desperate tomfoolery.

Which catholic is the base rock of christianity?

Show me one thing the Catholics are doing that peter,paul,timothy or any of the early christians indulged in.
Christianity originated in Israel, the Romans persecuted and Nero even burned them alive and used them as torches for the street of Rome, so How come where christians were killed and persecuted you people made it your headquarters.

When Jesus was ascending,he didn't give catholic the sole mandate of christianity, he said he will send the counselor, the holy spirit to everyone including you and I to reveal the truth to you and I, not one white Italian deceiving you in Rome, if you can't understand what Christ meant by being heir with Him in the kingdom of God, you are playing yourself dirty.

The pope, oyedepo, kumiyi, adebayo,etc and who so ever I have same privilege with them in the eyes of God.

If you like don't emancipate yourself.

If God was still with your pope, how come the morön is indulging gays and lesbians. God has a standard, it is either you are there or you are not a human being can never Bend or Twerk it.
