Jesus said; If you have seen me, you have seen the father.
These words tell us a lot about Jesus and his character because he was basically saying he reflected his father Jehovah PERFECTLY.
When we read the OT to determine what kind of Being Jehovah is, many Christians become surprise and shocked that this God does not fit the description of a God of Compassion and love that most Christians cite word for word.
Instead Jehovah is described in the bible as a ruthless, psychopath.
One example is when Jehovah decides to kill thousands of his most loyal, innocent worshipers. Why? Not because his worshipers have done something bad, or because they are evil.
But he decides to kill them because he gets ticked off because a King takes a Census.
But it's not just that. Jehovah reflects all the qualities of a Psychopath by FORCING King David to Choose how he will murder all these loyal worshipers of his.
A three year famine.
Imagine what that entails. It takes anywhere between 43 to 70 days for a healthy individual to die of starvation. For Jehovah to come up with that idea, he had to reflect on all the steps of all those thousands of fathers, mothers, and children, who would die of starvation.
First comes the weakness of not having enough food, then comes the illness because the body becomes compromised and disease takes over. Then the parents start seeing their children slowly starve to death. Then the husband sees his wife die and finally the husband dies, all of starvation.
Invading Armies, imagine what that implies.
David pleads with Jehovah reminding him they are innocent. But Jehovah is ruthless and forces David to choose the method of murdering all those innocent people.
So David picks the pestilence, thinking Jehovah is merciful, and instead, 70,000 mothers, fathers, and children are murdered by Jehovah in 3 days. That's about 1000, innocent humans dying every hour for three days. Not even enough time to bury your loved ones.
And this is the person whom Jesus said;
If you have seen me, you have seen the father.
The reason many are drawn to Jesus is because the account of the resurrection of Lazarus as portrayed in the bible and in Hollywood Movies is made so emotional that it tugs at people's emotions.
Most can't even cite the other two resurrections because they don't carry that same impact.
And yet, these people never want to answer the question;
If Jesus is Love and Powerful, why has it been thousands of years since he presented his life to his father as a ransom of many, and yet has not been able to step in and stop the billions of innocent humans that have gone through unspeakable pain and anguish. Mothers watching their sons being murdered, Fathers watching their daughters being raped, young children being kidnapped, raped, and dismembered.
I would say 99 percent of us here would not hesitate to stop the evil of this world, IMMEDIATELY if we had the power to do so. We would not wait even a day to stop all the human pain.
But the fact that's it been thousands of year since Jesus died and still nothing----bespeaks reality.
It's been Thousands of years----and thousands of more years will pass, until finally, people will accept reality, that He is not coming to save the world because he can't.
