Exoterica Esoterica

""
However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

...

But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.
""

From Paul, 1 Corinthians 2:6-8 and 15:23,24, New King James Version.

Thanks Jamie, nice post.

Thanks Jamie, nice post.

What is nice about it? The only thing that could be is Paul's admonishing the people of Corinth to be nice to each other, rather than engaging in the furious arguments about their extravagant consumption of food while others went hungry, their sexual infidelities, their loose interpretation of the Gospels, assuming they knew what they were. Corinth at the time was the sort of place where the 1% -many of whom had converted- wanted it all: their wealth and power, and the Christian faith, but where they were also reluctant to let go of their Pagan heritage.

This is where the not-so-nice Paul enters to lay down the law, most of it written by him rather than Jesus, as Paul is, in effect creating in the Roman Catholic Church a parallel religion to the beliefs expressed by Jesus in the Gospels. You can be a Christian without following Paul. One of Paul's long-lasting legacies is the denial of the right of women to minister to the faithful, strict rules on dress which equate to women being covered up as much as possible, and the need to follow the rules as laid down by, well, Paul, and subsequently a corps of Priests modeled on his Ministry. In fact large parts of Corinthians 1 have their parallel in numerous passages of the Quran where Muhammad admonishes converts through their loose attachment to the faith he was trying to establish among them, particularly the rules on women's dress and dietary rules. The irony is that Paul claims the consequence of laxity in faith blinds people to the truth -which only he knows- and that it was this ignorance that facilitated the Crucifixion. But if God ordains everything, and Jesus was the temporal, physical manifestation of God, then Jesus knew in advance he was going to be crucified, so that in his mission on earth he failed, for otherwise he would not have been crucified, and he would have delivered the 'Kingdom' to 'the father'. Or, if so many people chose not to believe him, why did they not? If God in human form can't persuade you that he is telling the truth, who else can?

Jamie and her friends believe this deliverance that Christ himself failed to achieve when he was alive, will happen again, and while it will happen with or without any effort on our part, we can be prepared for the Second Coming and thus be saved. That the fascinating anthropology of religion can be linked to a preposterous salvation ideology in the name of science tells you all you need to know about the garbage dressed up as Exoterica Esoterica which Jamie has been posting under various names in various other forums on the internet.

By that line of reasoning, then Pauline Christians would also have to contend that a man having long hair, or a woman having short hair, is "shameful" and a "dishonor" (see 1 Corinthians 11:6; 11:14). Which would mean that Paul must consider Samson's long hair to be a "dishonor" (see Judges chapters 13-16, particularly 16:16-19; see also Numbers 6:5). But on the issue of long hair on men and short hair on women, Paul ended the matter by saying "But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God" (see 1 Corinthians 11:16)--thus making it clear that Paul sometimes simply let his own personal prejudices dictate what he regarded as "shameful" in his writings.

Yet it must be remembered that Paul is merely human, and so sometimes suffered from the prejudices of his time. He was often inspired by the Holy Spirit, but he was by no means infallible like Jesus Christ. Proof that the apostles were not infallible (even after they had been given the gift of the Holy Spirit) comes from the New Testament itself. See Galatians 2:11-21, where Paul strongly rebukes Peter for Peter's error in teaching that Jews still had to obey the so-called Law of Moses--and this is after the apostles had been given the gift of the Holy Spirit (see Acts 2:1-4)! So obviously the apostles were not incapable of error, even after having been given the Holy Spirit. But Paul also said that "love is the fulfillment of the law" (see Romans 13:8-10), and "all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself'" (that "one word" being: "love")--see Galatians 5:14.

Nor did Christ fail on the cross, as it was always Jesus's intention to go to the cross. The deliverance is a technological event that requires civilizational advancement. Soon technology will become advanced enough to convert our human brains into artificial computer hardware (i.e., at the cellular level, such as by using nanobots), at which point we will be technologically immortal; and due to the vast amounts of computational resources at that time, we will also be superintelligent. The leading technologists place this epoch circa 2045, although it can come much quicker, particularly given the incredible recent advancements in machine-learning Artificial Intelligence via artificial neural networks. Said epoch is often termed the Singularity, or the Technological Singularity, and the field of interest pertaining to it is most commonly called transhumanism.

The purpose of the First Coming was in order to give mankind knowledge of God in enough degree so as to give them confidence in the human project as the Jaynesian gods of old grew ever-more silent; to impart a conception of God as omnibenevolent and rational as opposed to the ever-bickering and insane Jaynesian gods, hence encouraging the systematic study into the physical world as a world that ultimately makes sense; to imbue a necessary social ethic upon mankind in enough degree so that mankind could rise up and create societies leading to our present technological time; and to give mankind the promise of immortality and salvation, thereby again giving humans assurance in the human endeavor as the old Jaynesian gods went silent.

Indeed, the *cross* is a device of overt government terrorism. Thus the Christian symbolism of the cross represents not merely triumph over death, but also triumph over government, even in death--making the Christian cross the ultimate anarchist symbol.

Physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology is a proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) demonstrating that sapient life (in the form of, e.g., immortal superintelligent human-mind computer-uploads and artificial intelligences) is required by the known laws of physics (i.e., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics) to take control over all matter in the universe, for said life to eventually force the collapse of the universe, and for the computational resources of the universe (in terms of both processor speed and memory space) to diverge to infinity as the universe collapses into a final singularity, termed the Omega Point. Said Omega Point cosmology is also an intrinsic component of the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE) correctly describing and unifying all the forces in physics, of which TOE is itself logically forced by the aforesaid known physical laws.

Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology has been extensively peer-reviewed and published in a number of the world's leading physics and science journals, such as Reports on Progress in Physics (the leading journal of the Institute of Physics, Britain's main professional organization for physicists), Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (one of the world's leading astrophysics journals), the International Journal of Theoretical Physics (a journal that Nobel Prize in Physics winner Richard Feynman also published in), and Physics Letters, among other journals.

The Omega Point final singularity has all the unique properties (quiddities) claimed for God in the traditional religions. For much more on Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology and the details on how it uniquely conforms to, and precisely matches, the cosmology described in the New Testament, see my following article, which also addresses the societal implications of the Omega Point cosmology:
