| THE QUESTION: Lamah's sister had a question that may be a bit repetitive, but out of respect to Lamah and what I perceived to be the sincerity of his sister: “When and are you ever returning?” |
|
THE ANSWER: I understand from my access to Lamah's consciousness the very nature of his sister’s keen sense of humor in asking such a question. I don't take offense to its repetitiveness considering the source. As those words of a more recent expression go, “There's more than one way to skin a cat!” Once again, I am no god and certainly do not possess any form of immortality except that I was survived by one beautiful son and hopefully a succession of heirs, and as such, I don't believe it should be expected by even those most faithful Christians that I will ever return as this man once called Jesus; I lived my one and only life and I then died almost two thousand years ago. I feel for those who wait so patiently and certainly in vain at the beckoning of some false and savage message. It is sort of like telling the child to behave in that fearful sense of obedience to a code of conduct, as the parent will soon return only to discover the upshot of any misbehavior. This promise of my eventual return was just another of those contrived means of achieving obedience. Its whole idea reeks of the same witchery necessary for the raising of the dead. I died, and even this interview is not to be taken as some testament to that divine immortality once assigned to my memory, particularly by those who had no other purpose than to deceive slaves with the false promise of god-like immortality. Of course, those very same slaves were successfully enticed with that rewarding promise and often waited vigilantly for their new master to return with a promise of added glory to their life of dreadful oppression. Keep in mind that this Christian religion was not my design and was more likely specifically designed to maintain control of a population that was made up of about ninety percent slaves. Its whole conception was politically based and never had any noble intentions of anything else except maintaining a civil peace in the Roman Empire. I can understand, perhaps even a bit flattered, that some of my ideas were incorporated into such an ominous and devious religion. After all, my own simple ministry was specifically addressed to the poor and the oppressed Hebrews specifically and worldwide generally. In some strange fashion it is interesting to note that one of the principal oppressors in both cases was this Roman Empire. I guess Constantine felt that in some manner this soon to become adopted religion modified with certain imperative changes had once been “field-tested” with others that were equally experiencing slavery under Roman rule. In any case, I'm not about to return even though I were to be strangely vested with immortality, and even so, I certainly wouldn’t be returning for the benefit of those who have so repeatedly abused my name and memory. It is only those who possess the truth that fully understand that I am not to return, not ever! |
