The Folly Of Bishop Fulton Sheen

The vast majority of Atheists reject god because they are too intelligent to believe in the god portrayed in the literal text of the Old Testament. In the words of the esteemed Church Father Origen: “What man of sense will agree with the statement that the first, second and third days in which the evening is named and the morning, were without sun, moon and stars, and the first day without a heaven. What man is found such an idiot as to suppose that God planted trees in paradise in Eden, like a husbandman, and planted therein the tree of life, perceptible to the eyes and senses, which gave life to the eater thereof; and another tree which gave to the eater thereof a knowledge of good and evil? I believe that every man must hold these things for images, under which the hidden sense lies concealed” (Origen - Huet., Prigeniana, 167 Franck, p. 142). Origen portrays those who see and believe only the written text of the scriptures as "idiots", because the scriptures were written in such a way that the more intelligent reader will immediately reject the folly of the written word, and seek out the Inner Spiritual meaning. Therefore, from the perspective of the authors of the scriptures who used the myths of the nomadic and heathen tribe of animal-sacrificing Jews to weave an allegorical portrayal of essential universal truths that were concealed beneath the literal text, only an "idiot" would surrender their gift of reason and common sense, and believe in the god (allegorically) presented in the literal text of the Old Testament who has been insightfully portrayed as resembling the Wizard of OZ -- i.e., a magical nut case behind the curtain who liked physical circumcision, genocide of non-Jews including killing every woman & child -- a god who made man, then repented he even made man, and killed everyone on earth but Noah and his immediate family -- a god who kills a man for trying to steady the ARK, a voodoo god who loves animal sacrifice and blood sprinkling. 

 

Great Insight and Wisdom is found in the words of Moses Maimonedes, one of the most respected of Jewish theologians, historian, and Talmudist, where he writes about the nature of scripture: “Every time that you find in our books a tale the reality of which seems impossible, a story which is repugnant to both reason and common sense, then be sure that the tale contains a profound allegory veiling a deeply mysterious truth; and the greater the absurdity of the letter, the deeper the wisdom of the spirit”.

In the words of historian and priest John Dominic Crossan: “My point, once again, is not that those ancient people told literal stories and we are now smart enough to take them symbolically, but that they told them symbolically and we are now dumb enough to take them literally.” And therein lies the problem as seen in the fact that because the Church has embraced the error of the Jews who look for their savior to come outwardly (see Christianity - The Modern Spawn Of the Devil http://devilspawn.ebionite.com/#ChristianSpawnOfTheDevil ), and they have thrown away the sacred knowledge of turning the scriptures within their own mind and using them as the Key of Knowledge (see Application Of The Key Of Knowledge http://brotherofyeshua.com/covenant.htm#ApplicationOfTheKeyOfKnowledge ), we dwell in a culture of abject self-ignorance and spiritual disconnection.

 

The foolishness of the literal text of the Old Testament is why a very large number of the the non-Jewish followers of Jesus rejected the god of the Jews as a Demiurge. What is a Deimurge? In Goggling the term Demiurge, the reply reads: "The Demiurge was actually the God of the Jews, while the true God was the Heavenly Father of Jesus and the Christians." What this means is that the authors of the Old Testament created writings that the rational mind would reject, and they would then ask questions pertaining to the deeper spiritual meaning from an enlightened group of people who could explain how the scriptures were designed to be turned within their own mind and used as the Key of Knowledge. But then the fourth century Church of Constantine re-attached the Gospel teachings to the Demiurge of the Jews, so Constantine could indiscriminately kill sincere seekers who refused to embrace the religion of the Emperor -- which has rendered the modern Church spiritually castrated with virtually nothing in common with the teachings of Jesus. Thus, Edward Gibbon writes in the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: ”Constantine easily believed that the heretics, who presumed to dispute his opinions or to oppose his commands, were guilty of the most absurd and criminal obstinacy... Not a moment was lost in excluding the ministers and teachers of the separated congregations from any share of the rewards and immunities which the emperor had so liberally bestowed on the orthodox clergy. But as the sectaries might still exist under the cloud of royal disgrace, the conquest of the East was immediately followed by an edict which announced their total destruction”. And after corrupting the Gospels -- including even the very words that God spoke to mankind (see https://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-corruption-of-words-god-spoke-to.html ) -- the Pagan Emperor Constantine hunted down those followers of the Gospel who understood how to use the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge, and destroyed their uncorrupted copies of the Gospels.

Fortunately, because of modern Social Media and Self-Publication, I have been able to tell both the Atheist and the faith-based believer the Facts which both the Church and Academia has suppressed and kept from the people. The Original Gospels taught the foundational doctrine of the pre-existent Soul that evolves to Wholeness and Perfection over the course of many lives -- see The Pre-Nicene Position Of The Church On Reincarnation https://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-pre-nicene-position-of-church-on.html . In fact, Science has proven reincarnation (see https://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-facts-that-atheists-and-christians_1.html ). And as a witness to the actual historical events, I have restored the crucial Gospel teachings and how each person can be taught directly by God -- which the Church of Constantine suppressed and corrupted -- see The Restoration Of The Gospel Teachings http://lawofthegospels.ebionite.com/#GospelRestoration .
