A Lil Easter Quiz

Many are celebrating Easter, the holiday that rejoices in the fact that Jesus was risen again from the dead.  Because for me personally Jesus holds such a special part in my heart and learning I offer some Easter trivia for your Easter get together:

If Jesus was the only son of god why did he come as a man and not an angel?

If Jesus was seen after he died why do we believe no one else should be after they die?

Jesus liked to speak on the mountain to the people.  If he were alive today he would be considered a public speaker.  Where would he speak and would you believe and go to see him?

Why did Jesus keep his disciples separate from the people and say he wanted to keep them from the doubters?

If Jesus was the only son of god why did John the Baptist baptise Jesus?

Who do you think is more powerful a king of men or a king of heaven?

Which king do you place your service and give your loyalty to?

If Jesus were alive today and you had the opportunity to know him how would your life be different?

Have a blessed Easter and may we all feel the love Jesus has bestowed on us this day and serve as he did here on earth without want of payment, without thought of reward.

Deborah, when I noticed your "quiz" questions I decided to answer them with the understanding I have about Jesus today. You will notice by my replies that I am deeply related to him.

Q.: If Jesus was seen after he died why do we believe no one else should be after they die?

A.: The assumption can be made that after the ordeal he was in a deep coma out of which he recovered, was nursed back to health by his friends, and lateron headed to India for his safety.

Q.: Jesus liked to speak on the mountain to the people. If he were alive today he would be considered a public speaker. Where would he speak and would you believe and go to see him?

A.: The internet. Avenues of publicity controlled by the commercial media would not be accessible to him. He would also not be given public recognition until after his departure. Only then would a religion be made of him and his life in order to dupe the people of what he really taught while alive.

Q.: Why did Jesus keep his disciples separate from the people and say he wanted to keep them from the doubters?

A.: That concept is new to me. I am not aware that Jesus tried at any time to separate his disciples from people doubting his words, or keep them from mingling with the people. He may have done it temporarily in order to have time with them for teaching them the realities of the Universe.

Q.: If Jesus was the only son of god why did John the Baptist baptise Jesus?

A.: As stated earlier, he is not the only son of (a) god. To what extent we can trust the accounts of him from the New Testament is not conclusive. It is stated John baptized him in order “to fulfill the law.”

Q.: Who do you think is more powerful a king of men or a king of heaven?

A.: With authority to kill, a king of men. With authority to teach to the people the truths of the Universe, a king of heaven.

Q.: Which king do you place your service and give your loyalty to?

A.: None of the two. We still owe it to ourselves to verify within ourselves what we see and hear from both, for loyalty must still remain to ourselves in what we accept and are comfortable with to believe in. The verification of truth must come from within. And here each messenger has his message judged by the people in whom the spirit of truth dwells within. Good question, Deborah.

Q.: If Jesus were alive today and you had the opportunity to know him how would your life be different?

A.: Jesus is alive today in a new incarnation. I have the opportunity to know him by the words he speaks today, but I cannot at this time meet with him, for he is the commander of a large star ship. Knowing who he is today has enriched my life as though one brother has found the long lost other brother. If I happen to live long enough, I will meet Jesus, my long lost brother, in this incarnation in person when I become evacuated from the surface of this planet before all hell breaks loose, so to speak. He is my brother, for we both share a common father: Master Gabriel (from past incarnations).

Have a blessed Easter and may we all feel the love Jesus has bestowed on us this day and serve as he did here on earth without want of payment, without thought of reward.

Comment to the last sentence, Debbie: “The love of Jesus” should be within us all, but it must never motivate us to worship him, for that he despises.

With compliments, Your friend -Reni

Thank you, Deborah, for helping me discover having missed the reply to your first question as I had improperly copied my answsers into the clipboard, Sorry for the confusion. Here is your first question and my reply to it:

Q.: If Jesus was the only son of god why did he come as a man and not an angel?

A.: Jesus was not the only son of (a) “god.” The “gods” have families. The male among them have “goddesses” for wives, who bear them children, including sons, and if one of these evolved entities comes down to earth, then would he not be (a) son of (a) “god”?

In like manner, could we not one day be visited by a “goddess,” and would we not then identify that person as (a) “daughter" of (a) "god”?

Judging by the purity of their hearts and level of personal evolution - yes - I would not hesitate calling them “angels.”

Unconventional logic, I realize, but I don't see it can be any other way. At its foundation lies the truth which simply states: "Ye are all gods" (or "goddesses" for that matter). Good questions - thank you for asking them. -Reni :)
