Mercy not sacrifice

„But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice. For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Mat 9:13

Why is Jesus saying thus? Mercy and not sacrifice! I mean Abraham was ready to offer his very child to God while being halted by God in doing so and Jephthah even sacrificed his daughter, because he vowed so. Jdg 11:30-40. So why does Jesus say that Jahweh don't need sacrifice? All the Torah was about sacrifice! That's what the Sodokite and Pharisee life was all about. There was a saying among the Pharisees, what enlightens it:

„When a servant of the Word learns the word and sees a field full of grain and says: „Oh What magnificence – what great riches!” Then this say is rendered unto him, that he has no prominence nor hold in the Word of God and his Discipleship has concluded!”

He can't even call an obvious beautiful thing as beautiful – as though he is married to the Word of God and that bride would get so very jealous of him. Because he made a commitment to uphold and learn the spiritual side of life and not the common side of life. And sometimes it gave many hardships to those who there left back.

It is very easy to be a Christian then you are alone in this world and nobody depends on you – but if you are the only son of your family and God calls on you and that means that the lifestyle of your father and his forefathers will end with that. For instance, if Elisha was called by Eliyah, he sacrificed all his fathers oxen to god and followed the prophet. Immediately his father lost both his cattle and his son. From a Jewish point of view he was as dead as Job after receiving the perils of God because the devil slandered his ways and somewhat God listened to that. How can the father be happy about the son following God like that. He lost everything he stood and worked for that instance. It is so easy to be Christian if God is not calling you to do anything out of the ordinary, because your normal life can resolve as usual – but if you become a prophet or even a follower of the word a priest – normal life is ended. It was that bad in Israel at times of Jesus, that if a son had an argument with his father and tempers flared and the son called all his possessions Korban – when he was bound by law and honor not to give anything to his mother or father of his stuff while still being able to use it for himself until he has presented it to the Temple and thus God. That presented great calamity and social scrutiny what was unjust and unfair and not according to the meaning of that law. And because the law became so very abusive like a sack full of gold on a donkeys back what is too big to be hauled and makes the poor animal faint. People there literally smothered by the aspects of law unable to get close to God. It was like a painting of Ilja Repin there the orthodox had a procession with the relics while not letting the crippled close. The poor could carry the relics while true religion was status-ship of the rich; clerics; lordship and not of the poor and simple. I mean those relics what there said to heal the sick – and the sick are not let close enough to be healed! For that came Jesus to this world that those who couldn't by themselves acquire the law, because either they there born the wrong way or living the wrong way or eating the wrong way or being the wrong nativity – not all nations had equal prominence in God – some there ritually accursed for actions in history. For instance the Gibeons tricked Israel and Joshua into having a covenant with them then they there put to death by Jahweh to escape genocide and for thus they there cursed with eternal servitude in the temple entrance. They could serve the temple but never enter it! Jos 9: 1 – 27 What can you do in the face of the Lord Jahweh when you are born a Gibeonite to eternal servitude with having never the right to get the benefits of true faith. They still had to be circumcised for working in the service of God, but no mercy for them! So when Jesus said that this Jahweh wants only Mercy and not Sacrifice – it didn't go unheard. It spelled trouble for the Pharisees and Sodokite for their regency and dominance was in check. Whats the need of a church if you can just read the holy words and be redeemed by that? This was the very reason why Jesus was accused by the clerics of Israel of wanting to destroy the faith. He was about to let the people go from the unjust leadership of the clerics. They would have lost everything! And nobody likes to loose they place in this world – then it is such a prominent one. It presented its danger that simple Israelites could have started dishing the offerings of the Temple. I mean, the building of the temple depleted the land and peasantry of resources. So they had more than enough reasons to ditch church-tax. That's why the leaders of Israel feared and despised Jesus. They status quo was in danger. Mercy not Sacrifice!

It is so easy to be Christian – if you are rich and you can offer from your riches, but it becomes so very personal if you offer yourself – just as the difference of Cain and Abel and their offerings. One was offering his excess the other was offering blood and despair. Every time you offer something so personal you are in contempt with God – because killing is against Him! So you need Mercy already there then you want to be nice to God with your offerings! Not a calming thought. How can you serve this God according to the Law then breaking the law is not allowed! The second commandment already states that you cannot read nor write nor have anything in the civilisation what so ever, for this is against the law. For Israel of that time couldn't read nor write and was a peasant tribe in the desert. Only the priests could do that! So what to do today in the cilisation. Reading this very essay is against the second commandment! For seeing things up in the heavens or down on the earth or underground. For imagination was illegal. You couldn't imagine things because this could be used for cons the most dreadful power of the east. The one thing that Israel and all the eastern region fear the most is being lied and betrayed, for your word was like money today and not being able to trust your words was like dealing with false money. So you couldn't have anything what could have given you the ability to falsify the words of God. But doing so denied also the people of Israel proper understanding of the Word of God! For they didn't know how to understand it – by having no imagination of God! And Jesus was there to end that calamity by giving imaginations of words to the people of Israel and who ever was able to listen. All of a sudden the people did not need the pharisees to explain the Law – they had the simple teachings of Jesus what there like fairy tales. You don't need a PhD to understand a fairy tale! You don't have to go fasting and praying and renouncing this world to understand a fairy tale. All you need to do is shut up and listen!! That wasn't to the liking of the temple for they did all that – fasted; prayed and secluded from this world while accepting the offerings of the people offering cryptic teachings back what there purposely made cryptic so there was a necessity of clerics in Israel. The clerics became like bricks in a wall what shadowed the entrance to God – before you could see God you would have to find a way through; around; over or under that brick wall. Most of the people gave up on that or became Pharisees or Sodokite themselves if possible. The fight in the pagans side of the temple what was turned into a market place was the very point in that. Jews didn't suffer the infidels that right to pray in silence for the path to the temple mount was so looong and sooo arduous. Why would the poor follower of Jahweh had to suffer that, then he could have come without offerings and buy them from the temple in the kosher way? It only cost the infidels they place of prayer – surely they would understand that the needs of majority trump the needs of minority. If they want to pray to Jahweh, they still can pray in the cackling of the chickens and the sound of the turtle-doves or the oxen or shouts of silver and marketists and clients shouting and barthening. Whats the big deal? Why would the faithful have to suffer with they offerings this long way uphill, when it can be so much easier! And Jesus didn't like that and whipped them out of the temple! Mercy not Sacrifice! The reason of sacrifice was never like God was hungry and needed a beef steik from Israel – it was to make understandable that life is a responsibility. Faithful life became by the cost of the offerings death. The very story of the beginning of the world and the outcasting of Man from Eden introduces the idea of scapegoating. The world is not sinful and under death because it committed sin, but because the world and every living creature inside of it is scapegoating for man for his sin that he didn't suffer the words of God the rightful way. So in a spiritual sense – if a rabbit dies, he dies of human sin! That's why a Christian needs to be humble and merciful – for he literally lives on borrowed time and space. Everything in this world is scapegoating so the man could get enlightened enough to end death and deceit itself. So when you offer this kind of scapegoat its not hurray – its despair that he had to be the sucker to die for your assholeness. Not many Christians understand that why they need to rejoice and why this rejoice must also include the perception of the nobody. Because we didn't deserve our place in this world under Gods mercy – God could have chosen a Chimpanzee or Elephant or Mantis to have a better servant than man is. But he chose thus, out of mercy. And how do normally faithful people respond to it? Oh wow! I have my divine right to raise taxes and alter the law to my liking so I could have more money and fame and power! Because when in power without humility you soon forget, that this right is not yours. It was handed to you and one day you will resign it again for its not yours. But Christians act like they own the church of God! Just like Israel before, Christian do the very same mistake: “This is Christendom; this is Christendom; this is Christendom!” thinking that bearing the name and clothing and cross of Christian makes em so very Christian. If that's the truth than if I shit in the jar and take some candy paper and press my shit into the right shape while giving it the right incentive to smell like chocolate – than it becomes that brand what is inscribed on the candy paper what I am selling. It's all about the name and not the inside! Shit can be chocolate like that too! But for God Christians ARE like shit and NOT chocolate!! For what good for God to have servants who bear his name and brand but don't do what he asks. God says to worship Him and be kind; the followers start arguing about who is better and who is the leader and who at all can have mercy from them as means of pension, for who knows maybe you are of wrong inheritance and don't apply to that mercy! The disciples solve that issue and ministers are introduced but those get too lazy and government has to take over the care taking of pension. It used to be a Christian thing now its not anymore. Because why can't somebody else do it. I don't want that mercy at my side, for it's too EXPENCIVE!! And then come all the offerings what are meant to keep some people out of Church for they are unable to follow these:

I had a dream in the night. I was walking on the beach and it was snowing for it was February. The ice had just melted and it was rather nice. I saw a man strolling along my way in a drunken manner and he fell into shallow water. I rushed to his aid to not let him drown in that shallow water to find out that he was gay, for he wore a rainbow belt. Nevertheless I dragged him out of the water into my hut and relieved him from the wet clothes and lighted a fire but that was not enough to warm him up and I feared that he might die on hypothermia. So I didn't know what to do. This is what I did. I stripped myself nude and lied down next to him while shouting and talking to that gay-boy, for if he fell asleep it could be that he never wake up again. So I lied next to him onto him to warm him up giving him a hand-job to make his blood boil so he would not die. And he survived and was later thankful for that and left. But I am Christian who cannot lie nude next to a man! What should this Christian think of that dream now? I saved his life but compromised my integrity – for this is what mercy means – you forsake justice! You become as vulnerable as Jesus becoming a mere mortal and getting crucified for the rightful claim of being the son of God! But if it were to happen in the real world and not in a dream. Could I still call myself a Christian the regular way? That is here the question. Mercy or Justice!
