The ‘Holy’ Ghost
In his last talk to the disciples Jesus misinformed them that after his exit his father would send them the holy ghost. He also tells them rebelliously that the holy ghost will be their timely “helper” and that he will recall to their mind everything that Jesus himself had taught them (John 14:26).Before, at Mark 13:11, Jesus spoke thus to the same disciples: “But when they are leading you along to deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand about what to speak;but whatever is given you in that hour, speak this, for you are not the ones speaking, but the holy ghost is.”
Stephen is the first disciple to put these assurances into practise. He was tried by the sanhedrin after he preached, at variance with the Jewish scriptures, that Jesus was the christ. He makes a long speech at the trial. He says in the end: “Stiff-necked race, your heart and ears still uncircumcised, you are for ever resisting the holy ghost, just as your fathers did” (The Acts 7:51).“At hearing this, they were cut to the heart, and began to gnash their teeth at him.
But he, full of the holy ghost, fastened his eyes on heaven, and saw there the glory of god,and Jesus standing at god’s right hand; I see heaven opening, he said, and the son of man standing at the right hand of god. Then they cried aloud, and put their fingers into their ears; with one accord they fell upon him, thrust him out of the city, and stoned him. He,meanwhile, was praying; lord Jesus, he said, receive my spirit. And with that, he fell asleep in the lord” (The Acts 7:54-59).The evil spirit or the so-called holy spirit, first prompted Stephen to infuriate the jury by mouthing insults against their paternity and ancestry. Stephen looked up at the sky rebelliously considering it as heaven and abode of Jesus. The same spirit now prevailed upon him to say, I see heaven opened and Jesus standing at god’s right hand. At this they stoned Stephen to death—as his account went against a prior statement to the same jury.For the pitiable end of this man and of all similar others, Jesus is responsible with his promise of the slayer rebelliously renamed as helper.Stephen was questioned by the same sanhedrin where Jesus was produced earlier.Jesus was then asked point-blank by the same jury: “Are you the christ?” Reply: “I am; and you will see the son of man sitting at the right hand of god’s power and coming with the clouds of heaven” (Mark 14:62).Jesus lied twice in the course of that one sentence. As father of lies and constitutional liar, Satan, ditto Jesus, he is the only being that can accomplish that kind of lie.Stephan sees him standing. Jesus says he will be sitting. His immediate and succeeding disciples have waited from the beginning to this day. They still wait to see him standing prior to landing!
THE SIMPLE LESSON TO BE LEARNT BY THEM ALL IS THAT JESUS WAS LYING OUT AND FOOLING OUT EVERYONE OF THEM, AS ONLY HE CAN DO, HIMSELF BEING SATAN THE DEVIL SUPREME.
As regards the holy ghost as such, Jesus told the disciples at John 16:7 that the holy ghost cannot come as long as he himself is alive physically: “I tell you the truth (!).It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.”The first thing that happened after Jesus’ so-called ascent is ingress of the holy ghost (The Acts 2:1-4).The holy ghost cannot come on the scene when Jesus is present hereabouts. On the other hand, Jesus’ return is preset for the end of the era: “And then the sign of the son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” (Matthew 24:30).In short, Jesus cannot show up on the earth until the end of the world. The Acts 3:21: “But Jesus must stay in heaven until god makes all things new, just as his Holy Prophets promised long ago.”But Jesus does come up before—more than once.The Acts 9:3-5: “Now as he (Paul) was travelling he approached Damascus, when suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him, and he fell to the ground and heard a voice … ‘Who are you,’ he asked. And he said, ‘I am Jesus.’” The Acts 23:11 again says: “On the next night, the lord came to Paul and told him,‘Thou hast done with bearing me witness in Jerusalem and now you must carry the same witness to Rome.’”The above go to show that Jesus’ account of his ascending to heaven and seating himself at his father’s right is a rebellious lie. In a string of inverted expressions, Jesus said too at John 3:13: “No one has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the son of man.”Straightened out, the pompous saying would read: “No one has made it to the ground from hell but he that dropped there, the son of Satan.”Jesus has not ascended to heaven. It is not possible for an ex-archangel like him who has dropped to the nether world by the propulsion of unrighteous deed, to find reentry there. This over-rules the possibility of a holy ghost existing at all. The so-called holy ghost is nothing but an alter-counterpart of Jesus.Proof is John 14:17: The live Jesus admits here that the holy ghost is presently indwelling in his hearers (the disciples): “You know it, because it dwells in you and is in you.”
