JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR EXTRAORDINAIRE
I noticed a real
miserable episode recently. Someone posted
a few short pleasant thoughts relating
to the Bible and the boo-
birds came to life. "Take it somewhere
else," "stop wasting our
band-width," was their common refrain.
If this band-width
they're so concerned about conserving were
needed for their more important thoughts,
I might understand but they
don't contribute very much other than
carping themselves and their
discourteous comments chased that correspondent
away. Anyone who
enjoyed a short break from unpleasant
topics now has to looking for
them elsewhere. It's just their contribution
to making everyone's life
as miserable as their own.
These arm-chair
quarterbacks object to anyone saying "I believe
this" or " I have done that". Having offered
nothing themselves, they
think it's boasting. Nevertheless, I'm
going to take some band-width
to pay homage to Jesus and if the boo-birds
don't like, let them go
carp elsewhere.
I'd always suspected
that Christ was not some poor dude rising up
against the "yoke of oppression." Lots
of slaves have done that.
against the "mort-gage" "death-gamble".
For his sacrifice to be as
spectacular as his disciples found it
to be, I always figured he had
to have been a rich guy who chose to go
with the debt slaves rather
than the debt masters. Usury, Yoke of
Oppression, Genocide by poverty.
There were some
clues as to his wealth. He never seemed to need
for money. He had a one-piece robe, so
valuable that they gambled for
it rather than cut it up. But that's small
potatoes.
Imagine you're
born on a night when a super nova becomes visible
right over your place. Three kings happen
to be in your neighbourhood
and think that makes you special. They
compete with each other to load
you down with gold and valuable gifts.
Dad invests it for you at the
prevailing 30+ % interest rate making
your trust fund double every
couple of years. How rich do you think
you will be when you come of
age? If you get the trust fund when you
turn 30, it will have doubled
at least 12 times and been magnified 4,000
times! The "miracle" of
compound interest.
In 1992, books
on the Dead Sea Scrolls started coming out and I
read "Jesus and the riddle of the Dead
Sea Scrolls by Barbara
Thiering. She mentions that not only was
Mary from the line of David
but so was Joseph, a pretender to the
throne from the line of David.
But Jesus was technically disqualified
from being the Crown Prince
because Joseph and Mary were living common-law
at the time and
inheritance rules were pretty tough in
those days. So even though he
no father listed on his birth certificate,
he had some claim to the
throne. Quite a story.
It would explain
why Herod, who wasn't Jewish, was so unhappy to
find out about a birth from the line of
David and his slaughter of the
young lads from Bethlehem trying to get
rid of a real pretender to his
throne. It would also explain his affluence
and his understanding of
how usury works from the point of view
of the rich.
How he came to
hang around with poor people and preach against
the debt yoke that was oppressing them,
I can't say but I do give him
credit for accurately stating usury's
differential equations and
knowing what he was talking about when
he kept condemning interest
rates. Interest rates are mentioned four
times in the New Testament:
"To those who have abundance will more
be given and to those who have
no abundance, even what they have will
be taken away."
Interest gives
more to those who have spare and takes away from
those who don't have enough. The rich
get richer, the poor get poorer.
Reverse Robin Hood. Hardly something you'd
expect him to be in favor
of. There's good argument he was against
taking from the poor to give
to the rich: "You're abundance should
at the present time be a supply
for their want so that their abundance
may later be a supply for your
want. In that way, he who gathers much
doesn't have too much and he
who gathers little doesn't have too little.
That there may be
equality."
It's interesting
that it does not talk of equality of wealth but
equality of opportunity with charitable
use of the abundance boiling
down to "Lend expecting nothing in return."
So here's the
Crown prince stirring up the debt slaves with talk
of "forgiving our debts as we forgive
our debtors" (the real words in
the Our Father prayer, not "trespasses,"
a major distortion). It must
have really upset the Money Masters of
that time. They tried to buy
him off with the Crown but he refused
and led a protest against the
money-lenders. This was not Jesus with
a whip busting up a few tables
as often depicted. In those days, when
usurers foreclosed on the
house, they foreclosed on the owners and
their families and had
bouncers to handle their slaves and private
prisons. Either Christ
really beat all those bouncers with a
whip by himself or he led a
general uprising of the debt slaves and
quite a riot took place.
Within days,
the premier warrior for abolition of the mortgage
death-gamble was sold out, tried and crucified.
The Crown prince was
put to death for assault on the usurers
which shows where the hidden
power really was and still remains.
He was not a
revolutionary in an ordinary war. He died in the war
to end all wars, ARMAGEDDON, the primordial
conflict between the
Keepers and the Abolitionists of the mortgage
death-gamble. He had the
choice of being king of the Moneylenders
and instead chose to give up
his life as a message of opposition to
the yoke of mort-gage
oppression making his sacrifice one of
the most selfless humanitarian
gestures in the history of social reform.

it reached as close to Godliness as is
humanly attainable.
BIBLE ECONOMICS
by John C. Turmel, B. Eng.
(558 verses)
CLERGYMAN SAYS
A clergyman, he spoke right up and told
me I was right,
His Good Book was repetitive that interest
was blight.
One night he dreamt a dialogue with Jesus
Christ and said:
"You promised us you'd come. You're late.
The planet's nearly dead."
He answered "I did not say that I'd come
to save the day,
I meant that if the planet lives, my way
would be the way.
The parables I spoke make sense to only
those who see,
To find the answer to my riddles, you
must find the key."
Get out your Bibles to detect the key
which breaks his code,
It has been buried deep within another
episode:
THIS WORLD'S LAW OF ABUNDANCE
In Matthew chapter 13:10, it tells where
he was asked,
Why did he speak in parables so meanings
they were masked?
"The reason for disguise of message,"
note the words he said:
"It all comes down to interest, the theme
affects the head.
To those who have abundance will be given
even more,
From those without abundance will be taken
from their store."
This mathematical equation states the
function best,
This Biblical description of the function
interest.
This rule of more abundance was repeated
down the line,
In Matthew 13:12 and 25 verse 29,
In Luke 19 verse 26, with 8:18 as well,
Four times this message was relayed, the
key to living Hell.
To those with spare, the positives, they'll
get some extra perks,
And those with none, they'll have to pay,
that's how the system works.
The rich get richer, poor get poorer.
It's not brotherhood.
It's obvious that interest is Reverse-Robin-Hood.
In Matthew chapter 6 verse 9, Christ taught
us how to pray:
"When you are praying to the Father, here
is what you say:
Our Father, who in Heaven art, hallowed
be thy name,
Thy Kingdom come, thy Will be done on
Earth as Heaven, the same.
Give us now our daily bread, forgive us
all our debts,
As we forgive our debtors all their debts
with no regrets.
And to temptation, lead us not, don't
put us to the test,
Deliver us from evil one and wicked interest."
OLD TESTAMENT
So keying on the interest, I searched
the Bible through,
And found it loaded with advice on what
we have to do.
The Bible's filled with tales of woe,
rich over the oppressed,
It's there in plain old black and white,
"Abolish interest."
In Deuteronomy 23, verse 19 if you would:
"Do not charge brothers interest on money
or on food."
In Exodus, 22:25; the rule is manifest,
"Don't be like moneylenders, charge him
not an interest."
In Psalm 15, we see to dwell in God's
home heavenly:
"On holy hill lives he who lends without
the usury."
Leviticus, in 25, verse 35's no jest:
"You must not lend him any money at an
interest."
Isaiah Chapter 55, in it he specifies,
The way to answer when you hear the sound
of needy cries:
"All you who have no money and are very
hungry still,
May come and buy the food we have so you
may eat your fill.
And you who have no money and clad insufficiently,
Do come to buy some clothing so that warmly
dressed you'll be."
EZEKIEL
Ezekiel in 22, verse 25's the test:
"If you lend money to the needy, charge
no interest."
Ezekiel 3:18 adds responsibility,
God states his laws for life with his
expected certainty:
"And when I tell the wicked man that "You
will surely die,"
You will be held accountable if you don't
warn the guy?
But if you speak up and he doesn't change
his wicked way,
You will have saved yourself and he will
be the one to pay.
Suppose a righteous man does not take
too much interest,
He takes no usury. He'll live! His actions
I have blessed.
Suppose he has a son who takes excessive
interest,
And lends at usury. He'll die! His actions
I detest.
But if this son too has a son who doesn't
do the same,
He does not take the pledge for loans,
his greed he overcame.
He takes no usury nor interest that is
too high,
He will not die for his father's sin,
the soul that sins will die.
But if a wicked man turns from the sins
he did commit,
He gives back what he took in pledge.
His sins I will acquit.
Forgotten will be his offences when I
come to judge,
Because of good things he does now, I
will not hold a grudge.
But if a righteous man turns from my law
to evil way,
None of his righteous deeds will count.
He'll die! I do inveigh.
So cleanse yourselves of all your sins
and cease to be such fools,
I take no pleasure in the death of men
who break my rules."
Ezekiel declared that usury and interest,
Could have a different effect, there was
a simple test.
If interest demanded is of something that
can breed,
Such interest is payable and not sin I
concede.
So if you lend a hundred head and ask
to get two more,
That might not be excessive action that
he would abhor.
But if you gain all of the calves and
he still owes you some,
That would be judged excessive. That is
more than maximum.
And if the interest is on some silver
or some gold,
It's usury because there are no babies
to behold!
It's interest if principal can breed to
multiply,
It's usury if principal cannot so classify.
PUNISHMENTS
In Deuteronomy 28, verse 20 it does say,
"That if you take the usury, the Lord
will make you pay.
He'll send on you confusion till you come
to sudden ruin,
You'll lack success in all you do, a melancholy
tune.
And though you build a house, you won't
reside behind its drapes,
And though you plant a vineyard, you won't
get to taste its grapes.
Your oxen killed before your eyes and
you won't eat your share,
Your sheep and donkey taken leaving you
in great despair.
Your sons and daughters to enslavement
for your payments due,
And worrying and waiting is the punishment
for you.
Some foreigners will eat the fruit of
labor on your land,
You'll be condemned to poverty eternal
to withstand.
He'll lend to you but you won't lend to
him. He will prevail,
So he will be the head and you will always
be the tail."
INFLATION AND INVOLUNTARY UNEMPLOYMENT
In Haggai 1:5 he insists "Your way has
something wrong,
You've planted much but you don't eat
enough to keep you strong.
You drink but never have your fill, your
shoes have broken soles,
You put your wages in a wallet that has
many holes."
In Haggai 1:11, unemployment God commands:
As punishment he called for "drought on
labor of your hands."
In Haggai 2:16, he notes inflation once
again,
"When one came to a heap of twenty, there
were only ten,
When anyone went to draw wine, not fifty,
but twenty.
I struck the labor of your hands. You
did not turn to me."
Isaiah 28:19 says "it will traumatize,
And cause sheer terror when your plight
you finally realize.
The bed is too short to stretch out, your
blanket is not wide,
Enough to wrap around you. Thus in need
you will abide."
Isaiah 44:2 asks "Why is your money spent,
On what you cannot eat? Why labor on what
won't content?"
Isaiah 44:19 says "They've not understood,
That half of it I've used for fuel, shall
I bow down to wood?"
In Proverbs 22, verse 7, it is clear for
sure:
"The borrower serves lender." It's the
rich over the poor.
Job 20:5 says that the "Heaven will expose
his guilt,
The wicked does oppress and seizes homes
he never built."
In Psalm 64, we hear complaint: "Oh god,
protect my life,
From the conspiracy of wicked men who
deal in strife,
The crowd of evil-doers who in secret
make their plot,
And whisper silently that it's a perfect
plan they've got."
HABAKKUK'S COMPLAINT
In Habakkuk 1, he cries out to God in
all his pain,
For the oppression of the poor he asked
God to explain:
"How long, O Lord, must I cry "help" but
find you do not hear,
Or cry out "I see violence," but you don't
interfere.
Why do you make me witness sin? Why tolerate
such wrong?
The law is paralyzed with justice only
for the strong.
The wicked foe hooks righteous men into
his evil net,
And so rejoices in their subjugation by
their debt.
He therefore sacrifices and burns incense
to his net,
For by his net he lives in all the riches
he can get.
Is he to keep his net destroying nations
willfully?
Is he to swallow up more righteous men
than he can be?"
The Lord replied: "It certainly will come,
it won't delay,
When he's brought down, he'll feel the
ridicule in what they say:
"Will not your debtors suddenly arise
and shake your throne?
Will they not wake up, make you tremble,
force you to atone?
Then you'll become their victim for you
plundered nations great,
Because you plundered them, their plundering
will be your fate,
For you've destroyed the lands and towns
of them who you disdain,
And woe to him who builds his realm on
such illicit gain." "
NEHEMIAH ABOLISHES INTEREST
In Nehemiah 5 we hear complaints by needy
men,
Of the conditions that existed in the
nation then.
Some said "We've had to mortgage all our
vineyards and our fields,
To get grain during famine though they've
had abundant yields."
Some others said "We've had to borrow
money for the King,
Whose taxes on our fields and vineyards
leave us not a thing."
Still others said "Their flesh and blood
is of our family tree,
Yet our children suffer under yoke of
slavery."
When Nehemiah heard them, anger great
he could not mask,
The nobles and the rulers were the ones
he took to task.
He called a great assembly where he chose
to lay the blame,
On bankers, judges, politicians who had
run the game:
"You are exacting usury of your own countrymen,
Unlike my men who freely lend to needy
brethren.
What you are doing is not right, you must
do as we do.
So "Stop exacting interest!" It is the
Big Taboo.
Return their fields and vineyards and
their houses and their grain,
And also all the usury, the whole illicit
gain."
The nobles and the rulers said: "They
will not have to pay.
We'll give them back all their possessions.
We'll do what you say."
Prosperity resulted from his ban on interest,
"Remember me, O God, with favor" was his
last request.
HOW INTEREST ARISES
One tale to show how interest occurs quite
easily,
Especially when humans find themselves
in scarcity:
A father leaving his estate, his sons
he has but four,
To each of them he gives a sac of seed
to grow some more.
The first son had misfortune due to natural
event,
The loss of crop to a tornado, the predicament.
The second son, he suffered too, with
locusts in his field,
His children soon would starve after an
insufficient yield.
The third son had a tiny crop, but it
was touch-and-go,
He had eight kids who ate most everything
that he could grow.
The fourth son's crop was bountiful, his
granaries were full,
His brothers asked if some spare seeds
might be available,
In his right ear he heard advice that
he knew to be true,
"Do help them out and should you fail,
they'll be there helping you."
But in his wrong ear he heard words so
greedy in their tone,
"Don't risk security for your success
was all your own.
But if you rent your seeds to them and
gain from what they reap,
You soon won't have to work with interest
to earn your keep."
At some point in man's history, a brother
chose that way,
Enslaved with debt all of the others lasting
to this day.
WHO THE LORD MUST BE
Ezekiel 34:27 says the poor will know,
When they've been rescued from the ones
who have enslaved them so.
The one who breaks the evil bars of yoke
of slavery,
He'll be their savior, that's for sure.
No other can he be.
Like Nehemiah, Jesus knew a Lord must
set them free,
And fight the men who had imposed the
yoke of slavery.
In Luke 4 verse 18 he says "Anointed by
the Lord,
I preach the good news to the poor, a
world they can afford.
The prisoners shall be set free, oppressed
shall be released,
When comes the year of our Lord's favor,
you will surely feast."
CHRIST'S LAW OF ABUNDANCE
In Paul to the Corinthians 2, Chapter
8, 14,
We find abundance matched to need with
charity foreseen,
"Your own abundance now should be supplying
for their need,
That their abundance later will supply
you your own seed.
And in this way, who gathers much will
not have over-fill,
And he who gathers little will be taken
care of still.
And in this way there soon will be a rich
equality,
Where people help each other with great
productivity."
In Paul to the Corinthians, book 2 does
so reveal,
In chapter 8:11 "You must act to match
your zeal.
So based on what you have you should complete
what you began,
And not on what you do not have, to do
the most you can."
So judge according to your men, materials
and tools,
And not according to the lack of money
ruling fools.
In Matthew 5 verse 48, on credit he did
say,
"From one who wants to borrow from you,
do not turn away."
In Luke 6:35 he notes the law that we
must learn,
"Of your abundance, lend without expecting
its return."
In Luke 14:14 he said the rich should
help the poor.
"And though you may not be repaid, the
Lord will still ensure,
That when the resurrection of the righteous
does take place,
You'll be rewarded at that time, you'll
get an honored place."
For in Acts 20:35, he tells us to believe,
"More blessed is it to donate than it
is to receive."
In Matthew chapter 7:12, it's hard to
misconstrue:
"Do unto others what you'd like to have
them do to you."
If, while in need, you found the interest
to be unjust,
Refusing to inflict it, while in plenty,
is a must.
In Matthew 19:24 he says the lure's too
great.
A man with plenty can't resist and thereby
seals his fate:
"It's harder for a rich man to get into
Heaven high,
Than it is for a camel to pass through
a needle's eye."
ASSAULT ON MONEY-LENDERS
Abundance had two ancient laws from which
he had to choose,
Abundance increase for the rich or loans
for those who lose.
To those who have abundance will be given
even more,
From those without abundance will be taken
from their store, or
Your own abundance now should be supplying
for their need,
That their abundance later will supply
you your own seed.
In Matthew 4 verse 23, it says in Galilee,
He preached the Good News of the Kingdom
for those who would see.
He taught the difference in laws for three
years under Rome.
And then in physical attack, he drove
his message home.
In Matthew 10:34, He says "My friend,
do not suppose,
That I have come to bring Earth peace,
that's not the path I chose.
I did not come to bring you peace, I came
to bring a sword,
A revolution for the poor that's worthy
of a Lord."
Luke 12 verse 49 repeats "I've come to
bring a fire,
To see the Earth already lit is to what
I aspire.
So do you think that I have come to bring
you peace on earth?
Division is the reason I have come to
bet my worth."
In Matthew 21 verse 12's the story of
his fight,
530) With whip, he battled money-lenders.
He was not contrite!
He set upon the bankers and he caused
them all a loss,
For busting up their temple's books, they
nailed him to their cross.
And so you see, Christ did much more than
preach the godly way.
He stood against the interest and knew
his life he'd pay.
But we don't have to die like him, he
showed another way,
To fight against the usury, a plan for
use today.
It's in the Parable of Minas, Luke 19:16,
And parable of talents, Matthew 25:14.
PARABLE OF THE TALENTS
The parable of Talents in Matt. 25:14,
Depicts a reign where the effects of interest
are seen.
"The Kingdom that is Heaven is like where
a master takes,
A lengthy leave of absence and for foreign
lands he makes.
He calls together servants so his wishes
they might learn,
"You put my money to good use until I
can return."
According to ability, five talents to
the first,
Two golden talents to the next, one talent
to the worst.
The first did well in industry, it doubled
with five more,
The next did well in his own way and doubled
his to four.
The weakest of the servants knew his master
to be hard,
Afraid to lose the gold, he buried it
out in the yard.
Years later when the master came, he called
them to account,
To settle up their debts they had to meet
his due amount.
The first one said "I've doubled mine.
Here's ten with interest."
The master said "You've done quite well.
To that I will attest."
The second said "You gave me two and with
two more, that's four."
The master said "I thank you for increasing
so my store."
The third said "Master, we both know,
you reap where you don't sow,
I buried it and here's what's yours. I
found it didn't grow."
The master said "A lazy servant, I do
you regard,
You know I reap where I don't sow, I am
a man who's hard.
You should have put my money with the
bank so that I'd get,
My interest when I returned, a failure
you'll regret.
To those who have abundance will be given
even more,
From those without abundance will be taken
from their store.
So give his talent to the others who now
have a heap,
And throw him into alley where men gnash
their teeth and weep." "
PARABLE OF THE MINAS
The parable of minas in St. Luke 19, 11,
Has servant once again rejecting interest
in heaven.
Again, the servant did remit the mina
he received,
Again, the master did invoke the law which
he believed:
"To those who have abundance will be given
even more,
From those without abundance will be taken
from their store.
The penalty the servant paid for his audacity.
The master ordered to the guards: "Slay
him in front of me." "
COURTS OF JUSTICE
With slavery or death for those who failed
in their reports,
It's obvious why Jesus told them to avoid
the courts.
Luke 12, verse 57, warns the debtor of
the trap,
"You settle with him out of court or you
will do the rap.
The magistrate will turn you over to the
jailers who,
Will keep you chained until you've paid
the last penny due."
The problem is how long it takes for one
who is in jail,
To earn the money necessary to fulfill
his bail?
Christ used this clever way make us see
how slavery,
Is caused by debts that have exploded
due to usury.
In Luke 11:46, he took the time to note,
The Lord's distaste for the judiciary
and I quote:
"Woe to you experts in the law, you load
the people down,
You are no help and burden them with loads
that make them frown.
You've hid the key to knowledge and because
you did not see,
You've been a hindrance to the ones who
have ability."
In Matthew 12 verse 38, he warns us to
"Watch out,
For teachers of the law who walk in flowing
robes about.
They have the most important places in
the synagogue,
But they devour widow's houses. That's
their epilogue."
MISINTERPRETATIONS
Because of false interpretations that
say he approves,
The taking of the usury, his words still
make the news.
That usury's okay is one interpretation
claimed,
The master must be Christ since Heaven
is the Kingdom named.
But does this sound like our reward if
faith in him we keep?
And who are in the alley where men gnash
their teeth and weep?
Are they the lazy who have met a Christ
Lord they should fear?
Has he made punishment for laziness so
crystal clear?
Some say our duty is to make our talents
multiply.
And so the lazy servant justly was condemned
to die.
But if the talents represent the traits
of human kind,
How could such talent be transferred to
other servant's mind?
Did servant with the greatest talents
who received one more,
Begin to play the other's flute, begin
to write a score?
The physical transferral of the talents
must imply,
The talents represent real money. That
we can't deny.
If you were to be asked what for you would
be heavenly?
There'd be no executions and no alleys,
certainly.
There would be lots of food and drink,
some clothing and a home,
A razor and some shaving cream, a toothbrush
and a comb.
If you had also trappings of a great technology,
All of the tools and gadgets that use
electricity.
Communications, education, entertainment,
wealth,
A staff of competent physicians watching
over health.
Most labor that is tedious is done by
robots who,
Release you to explore the universe God
made for you.
And best of all you'd want your friends
to share in your success,
That's why all of us will end up in heaven,
I profess.
In Heaven, all will have their friends
and family by their side.
Though evil ones are silenced by a guilt
they cannot hide.
Within Acts 24:15, he says it's understood,
There will be resurrection of both wicked
and the good.
But John 5:28 points out the day those
in their graves,
Will rise up for the judgment of the Lord
on who he saves,
"The good will be rewarded with a life's
eternity,
But wicked ones will stand condemned for
their iniquity."
And so our Earth, this little speck of
blue dust in the sky,
Can be a Heaven here on Earth, we do not
have to die.
SERVANTS' REVOLUTION
But why did servants bury gold when putting
it with banks,
Would pay their master's interest and
also gain his thanks?
All that the servants had to do to be
the laziest,
Was bank the money and let others pay
the interest.
And with this laziest of ways to satisfy
the debt,
We must consider what they risked their
lives to try to get.
Imagine that one servant, when he was
a little lad,
Took careful note of interest and the
effect it had.
All borrowed dinars from the man and promised
him some more,
The charge for dinars' rental was the
service they paid for.
He looked at how the chariot-makers fared
under the rules,
The Big Three were Chrysler and Ford as
well as General Mules.
To pay to make their carts, they sought
ten million dinars each,
With which to pay the workers. Now the
prices had to reach,
Twelve million dinars minimum, the price
each had to seek,
With interest at twenty percent, it wasn't
for the weak.
With thirty million dinars in the hands
of those who buy,
And prices set at thirty-six, six thirty-sixths
too high,
The village bought as many as the dinars
that they had,
Not all the chariots were bought, it was
so very sad.
The next year when the master came to
settle up the debts,
Some of the makers had to lose on their
production bets.
The President of General Mules approached
and did proclaim,
"Here is your ten with two more satisfying
rules of game."
The President of Ford said "I've got my
twelve million too,
We've sold all of our chariots. It's what
we said we'd do."
The President of Chrysler Chariots didn't
look too well,
He said "We're short and we can't pay,
our chariots couldn't sell.
GM and Ford sold all their stock and though
we did our best,
We only sold six million's worth, we couldn't
sell the rest."
The master said "You know I'm hard and
reap where I don't sow,
Both principal and interest, you should
have paid, you know:
To those who have abundance will be given
even more,
From those without abundance will be taken
from their store.
Though interest creates a lack and some
must always lose,
You took the mortgage but your chariots
they did not choose."
So take their stock and sell it off, with
prices well beneath,
And throw them into alley where men weep
and gnash their teeth."
Because the servant knew that he was most
likely to lose,
He chose to guard all of the gold and
maybe make the news.
And in his actions he rebuked the master
to his face,
"You say you reap where you don't sow.
You thief, you're a disgrace.
As we all do the sowing and you end up
with the seed,
We are the ones who do the work but we
end up in need."
The master screamed "You know the law
that gets me interest,
That my abundance should increase, forgetting
all the rest.
If you had begged me hard enough, I might
have saved you yet,
But you have lost your chance for an extension
on your debt.
You'll join the guys from Chrysler in
the alley with the rest,
Where souls do weep and gnash their teeth
because of interest."
PARABLES ARE REVOLUTIONARY STRATEGY
So interest prevents a heaven here on
earth for man,
It is the cause of poverty and death since
time began.
These monetary parables transmit the strategy,
That Jesus offered us to use to fight
debt slavery:
One gives to Ceasar what is Ceasar's,
all his principal,
But no demand for interest, not even minimal.
This is the revolutionary tactic Christ
designed.
It is the tactic that one day a righteous
court might find.
In Timothy I, 6 verse 6, though some may
say it's moot,
"The love of money is of many kinds of
sin the root.
For those who covet money have been lured
right off the trail,
And pierce themselves with many griefs,
their lot in life to fail."
The only reason men love money is because
it grows,
Without the need to earn it. It's a free
ride they suppose.
2 Peter 2:15 says that "Quite off the
path they've strayed,
And they have learned to love the wage
of sin that they are paid."
In Hebrews 13:5, it says "Your lives should
not be stained,
With love of money and to be content with
what you've gained."
In Romans 6:23, he says "The wage of sin
is death,
But know the gift of God is life with
an eternal breath."
The Pharisees loved money and they sneered
when Jesus spoke,
He said "What's valued among men is, in
God's sight, a joke."
In John 5 verse 16, he notes the problem
in one breath,
Of all the sins the greatest is "the sin
that leads to death."
In Luke 9:23 he said "For worthiness of
me,
You must take up your cross and be not
like a Pharisee."
In Luke 16:13 it shows where he makes
the demand,
"You cannot serve both God and money."
You must take a stand.
Isaiah 53: verse 9 defines the penalty,
For he who acquiesces to oppression passively.
"Though he has not been violent, he still
did err for which,
He was assigned a grave beside the wicked
and the rich."
Both servants would not serve the money
that they had been lent,
Both suffered punishment as if the money
they had been spent.
They could have put it with the banks
and caused him no alarm,
But each accepted consequence of doing
him no harm.
PARABLE OF THE SOWER
In parable of sower in Luke 8:18 it's
shown,
How men react when in their minds the
Law of Christ is sown:
"A farmer went to sow his seed, he spread
it all around.
Some fell along the path and birds devoured
it when found.
Some fell in rocky places but died out
for lack of base.
Some fell among the thorns which choked
them out of living space.
Some fell on fertile soil and after having
taken hold,
Produced a mighty harvest with the yield
a hundredfold."
When asked the meaning of the parable
he did reply:
"To you has been explained the secrets
of the Kingdom High.
I spoke in parables to fight Reverse-Robin-Hood,
The wicked misinterpreting the tales,
but not the good.
Forever seeing without seeing, men will
surely be,
Forever hearing without hearing, you will
surely see.
Their hearts have grown so very cold,
while striving to survive,
This game where money's less than debt,
where all can't stay alive.
Yet you have been enlightened in the search
of best of ways,
That gives us Heaven here on earth and
many better days.
For many righteous men and prophets longed
to hear and see,
But they have never had the opportunity
as thee."
Colossians 1:26 says "Knowledge of the
Word,
Unveils the age-old mystery to all those
who have heard."
The seed's the Word of God and has nothing
to do with wood,
The "Christ Law" is the seed against Reverse-Robin-Hood:
Your own abundance now should be supplying
for their need,
That their abundance later will supply
you your own seed.
"The seed sown by the path is like the
man who heard my news,
About the coming Kingdom but he failed
to grasp the clues.
The seed sown in the rocky place was he
who joyously,
Accepted it but with no root, forgot it
rapidly,
Seed that was sown among the thorns was
he who understood,
But worries of this life and wealth did
choke in him the good.
The Word of God brings persecution causing
him dismay,
So rather than accept those hardships,
he soon fell away.
But what was sown on good soil was the
man who did succeed,
To spread the Word producing many times
the planted seed."
In John 8:31 he says "If you have faith
in me,
Then you will know the truth and find
the truth will set you free."
In Matthew 13:52, he says "All those who
teach,
The way to earthly heaven that they soon
have hope to reach,
Are like the owner of a house who brings
out from his hold,
All kinds of treasures valuable, the new
as well as old."
You'll find that if you teach the law
of wise abundance use,
You'll come up with your own examples
showing the abuse.
In Luke 6:39 he asks "With blind man leading
blind,
Will it not be in darkest pit they both
themselves shall find?
A student does not not rise above his
teacher but it's so,
That fully trained, he's like his teacher.
He is in the know.
No bad tree's fruit is ever good. No good
tree's fruit is bad.
Each tree can be distinguished only by
the fruit it had."
In John 15:15 he says "No longer do I
call,
You servants when your master's inner
business you know all.
So friendship is the quality to you I
attribute,
And since it is now known to you, go bear
some lasting fruit."
Though many say they preach his Word about
the world to be,
They're negligent if they don't speak
of yoke of slavery.
If they fail to accept he came to end
our poverty,
They're not what he calls "born again"
because they cannot see.
One may not rise above the Teacher but
once fully trained,
His friendship will be the reward a teacher
will have gained.
ARMAGEDDON WAR
Throughout our history we find submission
to a yoke,
Made of financial chains invisible to
common folk.
In Paul to Thessalonians 2:10 he says
"They might,
Still be redeemed but they have not keep
total truth in sight.
For this, God sends a powerful delusion
on their minds,
So they believe the lie that causes woes
of many kinds."
In 1 John chapter 4, verse 5, he says
"They are from here,
And when they speak their worldly views,
the world gives them its ear.
But we're from God and who knows God will
understand our views,
But who does not know God will never listen
to our news."
In John 15 verse 22, he notes the fact
he met,
Ezekiel's requirement that a warning they
should get:
"If I had not forewarned them, they'd
have no guilt to adduce,
But now that I've exposed the answer,
they have no excuse."
In Matthew 23:34 he says "You snakes will
pay.
You brood of vipers. How will you escape
to Hell the way?
I've sent you prophets, teachers, so your
sin they might decry,
Some you will flog in synagogues, some
you will crucify."
In Paul to the Ephesians, 6:12 he sheds
a light:
"It's not against the men of flesh and
blood that we should fight,
But it's against authorities who rule
iniquity,
The spiritual forces causing Earth's adversity."
In John 16 verse 8, of master ruling over
lands,
He says "the prince of this World is convicted
as he stands."
I doubt that Christ would waste his time
where it might do less good,
So it makes sense his parables fight Reverse-Robin-Hood.
Against the interest it was rebellion
he did do,
Against the yoke oppressing needy by the
wealthy few.
In Paul to the Galatians, in chapter 5
verse 1,
He said "Though Christ has set you free,
the battle's not yet done.
You must stand firm despite the odds and
shed the bars he broke,
And never let yourselves again be burdened
by the yoke."
The war he fought would end all wars,
it has a special name,
The war of Armageddon is the reason that
he came.
The Keepers and the Abolitionists of interest,
Two armies in the Armageddon war put to
the test.
The champion of the Abolitionists is Christ
outraged,
Against the Keepers of the interest, a
war he waged.
With violence, he pointed out the bad
guys on the scene,
The bankers and their interest is why
he turned so mean.
It's true that in his day there was no
other remedy,
Yet still he gave his life to show the
way for all to see.
No violence is necessary for revolt today,
With politics and open courts, there is
a peaceful way.
Yet if he took his cross up when he had
so little hope,
It's time for us to take his whip in hand
and start to cope.
I wrote this ballad with intent to give
you all the WORD,
The WORD of HOW the money works, I really
hope you heard.
If you are one who got the WORD, I must
reiterate,
The greatest glory goes to he who makes
it replicate.
Just read the ballad right out loud for
any friends to hear,
You'll be surprised how readily the WORD
stays in their ear.
But for the best reaction, you should
try to sing the verse,
And you will find to fit the bill so many
tunes diverse.
If you can spread the WORD about the plates
to those around,
So they can wise up others too, to Hell
they won't be bound,
For the reward in Heaven imminent for
all who teach,
Is to attain the place where all the "Friends"
of Christ should reach!
I wonder how many people could have done
as much in the same
circumstances?

WHY DID CHRIST SPEAK IN PARABLES?
In Matthew 13:10
of the New International Version Bible, it
states:
"The disciples
came to him and asked
"Why do you speak
to the people in parables?"
He replied:
"The knowledge
of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven have
been given to you but not to them.
Whoever has abundance
will be given even more but whoever does
not have abundance, even what he has will
be taken away.
This is why I
speak to them in parables."
So, why did he
speak in parables?
In one word,
what is the meaning of "To everyone who has
abundance will more be given but from
him who has no abundance,
even what he has will be taken away?"
What is the differential
equation for "To everyone who has
abundance will more be given but from
him who has no abundance,
even what he has will be taken away?"

I can't agree
that taking away from the poor who have no
abundance is faith, hope or trust. Neither
is giving more to the
rich who already have abundance.

Close but no
cigar yet. You have found the correct general
solution to the differential equation.
I'm impressed. But
remember that this differential equation
relates to time (t) and
a rate of increase (i). With this, now
determine the differential
equation for your solution. And thanks
for the serious effort.

So does your sense of humour.
And I still haven't

So with all three
variables now exposed:
"B" is the balance, "i" is the rate of
increase and "t" is time,
Christ's differential equation for why
he spoke in parables so
they don't understand may now be determined.
Good luck.

I guess this could
seem applicable but I don't think it
fits in the other three places which quote
his differential
equation for the world's greatest problem.
It is mentioned by
Christ in four places:
Matthew 13:12
Matthew 25:29
Luke 19:26
Luke 8:18
The differential
equation for the solution is given in:
Paul Corr II
8:14
As to one word
for the name of the function defined by the
differential equation, can you think of
anyone or anything which
takes from the poor who have no abundance
to give to the rich to
have abundance? I'd bet it is in operation
much closer to home
than you would think.

Birds of a feather

nothing to contribute to the discussion
and don't mind telling
everybody about it.
It must be their
inadequacy in dealing with differential
equations that gets such a rise out of

Ignorance is
forgivable. Refusing to learn is not.

I doubt it. Christ

If insulting

mathematics.
So again, what
is the differential equation for:
"To those who

away."
Where "B" is
the original amount, "i" is the rate of
increase and "t" is time.

If they are that
easy to understand, why are there so many
different interpretations? And none dealing
with his stated
reason for why he spoke in parables?

And yes you will.
It is quite an astounding revelation to
understand what he meant when he said:
"I speak in parables
because ""To those who have abundance
will more be given but from those who
have no abundance, even
what they have will be taken away.""
Breaking this
code opens up whole new meanings is everything
he said.

And it works admirably.
Unfortunately, it also draws the attention
of some of our slower
bretheren.

This guy rarely
manages to produce more than one line. And
it's usually lacking in wit as this recent
effort. Every time
I've challenged him, he's always backed
down and this is all he
has to resort to.
To him, people
who've studied mathematics deserve being
taken away by the guys in white coats.
I never knew their coats
were white. I wonder how he did?

Not everyone
is clueless of the interesting nature of what
the answer to this puzzle will be.
I will add another
clue.
The increment
of your abundance relative to the increment of
time equals the percentage increase times
your original abundance.
I await Kendall's
next mono-sentence opinon.
