Lord Of The Platforms


The Gospel According to St. John Chapters 6-13

After many miracles like turning water into wine and things like that, Jesus continues his quest, I guess the quest of the people finding love for God.He may have done miracles, but he also created enemies. The Jews, they were furious with him. Claiming he was the son of God, and that he himself was the Holly Word.

No matter how many miracles Jesus would make, the Jew would think it was a scam. He was even being persecuted by the Jews. "After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him." (7:1)I think that by that time many people would think it is weird. Is like a guy walking around saying he is the son of God and King of the Jews. In this time, everyone would see it as a joke, or as a loon who is trying find and answer. It is like an episode in Dr. House were a fifteen year old kid claimed he was God's messenger. He was an orator and was trying to purify himself by only drinking water. He also came singing creepy sounds through the hallway while he had seizures. He also cured a woman with cancer, or at least the tumor had gotten smaller. Anyways, the boy turned out to be lying. He was actually purifying himself since he had herpes.

In this case, Jesus could be that guy, instead, he did make real miracles like walking over water, resurect Lazarus and curing a blind guy. "When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing". (9:6-7)After these great miracles, the Jews should notice that Jesus is not crazy or a scam. I also saw a program of Magic's Secrets Finally Revealed, were the magician would walk over water. It turned out to be that the trick was based on some transparent platforms in which he walked and some swimmers would swim beneath it. Cheater. Even so, in this case, I guess Jesus didn't have any assistant's, or transparent platforms.
