" But why are there so many thieves, as shown in His life? Only as a

contrast were they allowed to get out. Why was this compromise not

possible with Christ? Do we also have the same with us today - that

we compromise ourselves with thieves, who are negative people and we

do not mind Christ being crucified? "

Mark 9:43-48 = Matt 18:8-9

 

43 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for

you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell, to the

unquenchable fire. 44 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it

off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be

thrown into hell. 46 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it

out; it is better for you to enter the Kingdom of God with one eye

than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, 48 where their worm does

not die, and the fire is not quenched.

Mark 9:43-48

 

8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and

throw it away; it is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than

with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire. 9 And

if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is

better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be

thrown into the hell of fire.

Matt 18:8-9

 

Jesus teaches that a person must remove all impediments in order to

to enter the Kingdom of God (eiselthein eis tên basileian tou theou)

(Mark 9:47), which is synonymous with to enter into life (eiselthein

eis tên zoên) (Mark 9:43, 45), since it is better to do without any

so-called advantage than to miss entering the Kingdom of God or into

life. (The term " Kingdom of God " is synonymous with " life. " ) This is

expressed hyperbolically as being willing to cut off one's hands and

one's feet and being willing to remove one's eye, if necessary. One's

bodily parts represent what is closest and most valuable to a person,

which must be given up if it impedes entrance into the Kingdom of God

or life. The consequence of not being willing to sacrifice anything

to enter the Kingdom of God or life is punishment in Gehenna (or

eternal fire). The entrance of which Jesus speaks is a future

entrance, coincidental with final judgment; in fact, one must pass

through final judgment in order to enter the Kingdom of God as future

or life. (Matthew omits Mark 9:45, probably because he considered his

Markan source to be redundant; in addition, Matthew's substitution

of " life " for Mark's " Kingdom of God " in the saying about being

willing to remove one's eye.)

" Paraclete, Comforter (L. Consolator; Greek parakletos), an

appellation of the Holy Ghost. The Greek word which, as a designation

of the Holy Ghost at least, occurs only in St. John (14:16, 26;

15:26; 16:7), has been variously translated " advocate " , " intercessor " ,

" teacher, " helper " , " comforter " . This last rendering, though at

variance with the passive form of the Greek, is justified by the

Hellenistic usage, a number of ancient versions, patristic and

liturgical authority, and the evident needs of the Johannine context.

According to St. John the mission of the Paraclete is to abide with

the disciples after Jesus has withdrawn His visible presence from

them; to inwardly bring home to them the teaching externally given by

Christ and thus to stand as a witness to the doctrine and work of the

Saviour. There is no reason for limiting to the Apostles themselves

the comforting influence of the Paraclete as promised in the Gospel

(Matthew 10:19; Mark 13:11; Luke 12:11, 21:14) and described in Acts

2... Says St. Bernard (Parvi Sermones): " De Spiritu Sancto testatur

Scriptura quia procedit, spirat, inhabitat, replet, glorificat.

Procedendo praedestinat; spirando vocat quos praedestinavit;

inhabitando justificat quos vocavit; replendo accumulat meritis quos

justificavit; glorificando ditat proemiis quos accumulavit meritis " .

Every salutary condition, power, and action, in fact the whole range

of our salvation, comes within the Comforter's mission. Its

extraordinary effects are styled gifts, fruits, beatitudes. Its

ordinary working is sanctification with all it entails, habitual

grace, infused virtues, adoption, and the right to the celestial

inheritance. " The charity of God " , says St. Paul (Romans 5:5), " is

poured forth in our hearts by the Holy Ghost who is give to us. " In

that passage the Paraclete is both the giver and the gift: the giver

of grace (donum creatum) and the gift of the Father and the Son

(donum increatum). St. Paul teaches repeatedly that the Holy Ghost

dwells in us (Romans 8:9, 11; 1 Corinthians 3:16). " [1]

 

" Paraclete comes from the Koine Greek word (Parakletos) meaning " one

who consoles - a comforter " or " one who intercedes on our behalf - an

advocate " . It may reflect Hebrew: mnahhem " comforter " ....

 

'Paraclete' appears in the New Testament in the Gospel of John

(14:16, 14:26, 15:26, 16:7, 20:22) where it may be translated in

English as " Counselor " , " Helper " , or " Comforter " . The Early Church

identified the Paraclete as the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5,1:8,2:4,2:38)

and Christians continue to use Paraclete as a title for God's Spirit.

 

In 1 John 2:1 " paraclete " is used to describe the intercessory role

of Jesus Christ. And in John 14:16 Jesus says " another paraclete "

will come to help his disciples, implying Jesus is the first

paraclete.

 

In Matt 3:10-12 and Luke 3:9-17 John the Baptist says a powerful one

coming after him: " will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with

fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his

threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the

chaff with unquenchable fire. " (NIV)

 

Verses like these are often used by Christians in Trinitarian

theology to describe how God is revealed to the world and God's role

in salvation. According to trinitarian doctrine, the Paraclete or

Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity who among other things

provides guidance, consolation and support to people. Other titles

for the Holy Spirit include 'Spirit of Truth', Lightfull Spirit of

God Almighty, Holy Breath, Almighty Breath, Giver of Life, Lord of

Grace, Helper, 'Comforter', 'Counsellor' and 'Supporter'. " [2]

 

As i said, there is no question that the Paraclete and Lord Jesus

will triumph. But at this very early stage we should not even look

around to see that manifesting because it is only since 1-1-2000 that

this Good News of the Gospel was first publicly and openly announced

i.e., with all the evidence and Sure Signs of the promised Last

Judgment proclaimed by the Paraclete:

 

" Though you can understand that Mother's Love makes it very easy for

you to get to your Realization and that the whole story of Last

Judgment —which looks such a horrifying experience— has been made

very beautiful, and very tender, and delicate, and does not disturb

you. " (Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi)

 

The advent and message of the Paraclete is a complex, eschatological

manifestation that requires vast amounts of knowledge and evidence.

This process will take a few more years to complete and i ask for

courage, patience and forbearance. Above all i ask for complete and

absolute dedication to the Paraclete who also resides in you! The

advent and message of the Paraclete must be openly and publicly given

in full. But under no circumstance whatsoever must you allow anyone -

WCASY, leaders, Sir CP, SYs- to persuade you otherwise. Lord Jesus

literally meant that one should remove an adulterous eye or sinning

hand and be saved:

 

" If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.

It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your

whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you

to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose

one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. " [3]

 

So WCASY, leaders, Sir CP and SYs, what should be done to your tongues

that continue to lie and deceive humanity about the advent of the

Paraclete and Her message of the Last Judgment?

 

better you leave the organization than acquire a lying tongue and

deceiving mind,

 

jagbir
