Why Callest Thou Me Good?
Matthew 19:17
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God:
but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Mark 10:18
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
Luke 18:19
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
The Synoptic Jesus is not good!
Should we trust whoever wrote these verses that say that
Jesus says this in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke
which are known as the Synoptic Gospels.
In the Gospel of John
Jesus does not say that he is not good!
So why does the Synoptic Jesus say that he is not good?
I suspect and believe the reason is to taint the character
of the real Jesus of Nazareth written about in the Gospel of John!
However, the Synoptic gospels say that God was well pleased with him
so he must have been good,
unless he said he was not good before he found out
that God was well pleased with him.
In any case, it seems that there is a possibility that Jesus was misquoted about being good or not good:
Matthew 3:17
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Matthew 12:18
18Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
Matthew 17:5
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Mark 1:10-11
10And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Luke 3:21-22
21Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
So is the bible infallible?
If men wrote it and transcribed it
it is bound to be fallible.
in·fal·li·ble
absolutely trustworthy or sure: an infallible rule.
Roman Catholic Church . immune from fallacy or liability to error in expounding matters of faith or morals by virtue of the promise made by Christ to the Church.
So what was that promise?
Well of course it doesn’t say so we have to guess, which isn’t a good option!
I do not recall anywhere in the bible Jesus saying that the bible was infallible.
Had it been written yet? No.
However, Peter said in 2Peter 3:15-17 in defense of Paul’s epistles that we should not wrest with the things that are hard to understand because the people that do wrest with the bible are unstable and stupid, or words to that effect.
2 Peter 3:15-17
15And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
(Of course it is hard not to wrest with scripture when Peter misquotes scripture as he does in the Book of Acts.)
17Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
Jesus of Nazareth told Peter at the Sea of Galilee:
John 21
18Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
19This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God.
And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him,
Follow me.
Sounds to me as if Peter was a free man until he met “the another”! And I think that “the another” was Paul!
Why would Jesus say follow me if it was okay to be girded by the another? Obviously it was a warning to Peter!
Jesus also said earlier that the prince of this world had nothing in him.
John 14:30
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
Galatians 1:16
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Who wrote Galatians? It appears to be Paul:
An Overview Of The Book Of Galatians
It’s pretty clear that ”the prince of this world” was not good!
The Synoptic Jesus must be “the prince of this world”
and “the another”,
because he says he is not good!
Romans 2:16
16In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to
my gospel.
Did Jesus say that we would be judged by our secret thoughts according to Paul’s gospel?
No, he did not say that, so what the heck is Paul saying?
Who wrote Romans?
Paul wrote Romans!
What gospels are Pauls?
I suspect Paul’s gospels (plural)
are the Synoptic Gospels that collide with the Gospel of John!
“The Another” and the “prince of this world” must be Paul.
1 Corinthians 3:22
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your’s;
————
Why follow Jesus if he is not good? Makes no sense at all!
Sometimes actions speak louder than words.
How did they behave in comparison to each other?
The biggest difference between the true Jesus and the false Jesus is who he glorified!
It was neither Peter, Paul nor Mary!
Jesus in the Gospel of John came in his Fathers name:
John 5:43
I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not:
if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

Exodus 3:6-15
6Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
7And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
9Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
10Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
13And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
15And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you:
this is my name for ever,
and this is my memorial unto all generations.
He did not say his name would change when Jealous came
(Exodus 34:14)
or Jesus
or Peter, Paul, and Mary would come!
Besides what could God the creator be jealous of?
Man? Angels? I don’t think so!
He did not say he would add to his name or subtract from his name!
It is obvious that even the O.T. has been altered!
I guess we have Josephus/Cephas to blame for that,
please read:
Abomination of Desolation Pt 2
Josephus Flavius admits taking the geneology records and holybooks from the temple in his own writings…..
should we ignore this admission?
