Jesus Only

He said to them;' honestly I tell you that some of those standing here shall not see death before you see the coming of the government of God in power.' Six days later Jesus took Peter James and John and brought them to a high mountain so that they were alone. He was transformed before them, his clothes shone brighter than snow more than bleach could make them. Elijah appared to them with Moses andthey were talking with Jesus. Commenting Peter said to Jesus; 'Rabbi it is good for us to be here so lets make three shelters, one for you one for Elijah and one for Moses,' because he didn't know what to say, they were really afraid. A cloud overshadowed them and a voice came from the cloud 'This is my descendant who I love hear him' And suddenly looking around there was Jesus Only. (Christian Tawhid-Ed) As they were coming down the mountain he told them seriously not to tell anyone what they had seen until ' The Descendant of Man rises from the dead.' they were impressed by that. Wondering what 'rising from the dead' could mean. Then they asked him; The Bible writers (Shouldn't that be editors-Ed) say that Elijah needs to come first. He answered the saying to them, yes Elijah does come first and begins the revival of things but isn't it written that the Descendant of Man among other things will suffer and seem like a nobody'. 'But having said that Elijah has already come but they treated him just as they wanted to- just as it was written.' Coming back to the other followers he saw a great crowd gathered around them and the editors (Journalists-Ed) discussing with them. Straight away the crowd saw him and were amazed. Running to him greeted him. He asked the media (You win-Ed) 'What is the current news' A spokesman replied; 'Teacher I brought my son to you because the spirit stops him speaking. And when he has a seizure it throws him to the ground and he foams at the mouth and he grinds his teeth. He is wearing out. I spoke to your followers to get rid of it but they lack the power'. He answered them. 'Unbelieving people that you are how long must I put up with you. Bring him to me'. And they brought him to him. Seeing immediately the spirit threw the boy to the ground into a fit falling down to the ground and foaming. He asked his father;' How long has this being going on ?' He said'from childhood and often it throws him into the fire or into water in order to destroy him. But if there is really anything you can do- Help us. Having pity' Jesus said to him 'If you were able to believe everything is possible to him who believes'. Right away the father burst into tears, 'I believe help me to believe' Jesus seeing the crowd gathering told the unclean spirit off saying to it.' Deaf and dumb spirit come out I order you and do not re-enter'. Crying out the spirit came out with a major fit leaving him looking dead. Most there said 'He is dead' but Jesus took him by the hand, raise him up and so he came up. Entering a house his followers took him apart and asked him, 'Why couldn't we cast it out ?' He said, 'This type nothing can move expect prayer'. And so they left there and went through Galilee with Jesus ensuring that no one knew where as he was instructing his followers. He said to them 'The Descendant of Man will be handed over into the hands of men and killed. But being killed, on the third day would rise.'They didn't understand and were afraid to ask. Coming to Capernaum in a house he asked them 'When on the road what were you talking about ?' They stayed silent because with each other they were on the road discussing who was the greatest. Sitting down with the 12 he said to them 'If anyone wants to be the foremost he should be the last and servant of all' And he took a child put her in the middle and taking her in his arms said 'Anyone who welcomes a little child like this because of me is really receiving me. And the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me'. John answered him saying 'Teacher we saw someone casting out demons in your name but they weren't one of us. We stopped him because he doesn't join with us'. Jesus said 'Don't stop him because there is no one who works in the power of my name who can speak evil against me, those who aren't not against me are for you. In fact I tell you that Whoever gives you just a cup of water in my name because you are anointed I honestly tell you that they will not miss out on a reward. And if anyone upsets a little one who believes in me it is better for him to wear concrete boots and to go swimming. And if your hand upsets your belief cut it off because it is better to be crippled in life and enter than have two hands into hell; where there is unquenchable fire. If a foot upsets you cut if off. It is good to enter life lamb rather than have two feet and be cast into hell where the fire is unsatisfied., The worm never dies, fire unsatisfied. And if your eye upsets you pull it out for it is better to be one eyed entering the government of God than with two eyes being cast into hell, fire worn never dies, fire unsatisfied. Because everyone with fire shall be salt (tested?) Every offering will be sprinkled with salt but what good is salt if it has lost it's ability to preserve things ? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with each other.
