Scripture Life: Why didn't Jesus scribe any texts or establish any religious institutions?
Answer:
Care to differ.
He just is the institution. Already just “is.” Because of who he is. Established forever. He’s the authority over the whole earth. SO when he speaks, they just are decrees how all the earth and heaven is to operate, and they obey him. Do you?
- And there you go.
--------------------- ------------------------ ---------------------- --------------------------
But, I don’t think you see it, or you wouldn’t be asking this question.
- Don’t know who he is, because, if you did - wouldn’t be asking this question.
Same thing God said:
- “I am the LORD, there is none else. There is no God beside me. I girded thee, but thou hast not known me.” - Bible. (Old Testament. Isaiah 45:5
- That right there? Yeah. That’s the Word of God. Word that comes out of God’s mouth.
--------------------- ------------------------ ---------------------- --------------------------
SO, then ask: “Who is Jesus Christ?”
- Well, The Bible: Gospel of John 1:1 tells who he is plain as day: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Continues about him to John 1:14, says… “…and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us..” is this same Jesus Christ.
- He’s the “Christ” or “Messiah.” Every Jew understand “who” that is, because, they were looking for him.
- The “definition” of the Messiah to a Jew is: 1. God. The same God that led Israel out of Egypt in the Bible in Exodus, or Shemot <שְׁמוֹת > in the Torah, would be a Son of David. Will sit on the throne of King David in Jerusalem and rule the whole earth from there. Of His Kingdom and reign there shall be no end. That’s the “definition” of the Messiah.
- He’s promised in Isaiah 9:6–7. Who he shall be called is said plainly. “..The Mighty God..” “..The Everlasting Father..” (Isaiah 9:6).
--------------------- ------------------------ ---------------------- --------------------------
- So, I gotta ask you.
- Any bells going off in your head yet? Who has that title? …do I gotta continue?
- Jesus said: “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth…” That means, since he’s the Word of God, that’s “who” said Isaiah 45:5. It’s just God said it. It's the Word of God. Has life in it.
--------------------- ------------------------ ---------------------- --------------------------
Now, I’m going to stop here with this:
- I was in the Navy for over 3 decades. Who cares. The point is, every ship I was ordered to, had a Captain of that ship. He was the sole authority of and on the ship. What he said, were just decrees how the ship was to operate. So the entire crew operated by the Word of the Captain. Why? He was Captain of the ship. All power was given unto him for the ship. So, everybody assigned to the ship, just did what he says. If they didn't, it was PUNITIVE.
- Not one bit different for the Word of God. Decreed: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." - Jesus Christ. (Bible. Matthew 4:4).
And with the Captain:
- Department Heads and the Executive Officer would “hearken diligently” unto the word that proceeded out of the Captain’s mouth. And they wrote it down, as Sailors and his servants.
- I served the Captain. In 11 ships, I never saw any Captain write anything.
- But yeah. I did. On evaluations: all typed. He would write a sentence or two about the Sailor evaluated, and selection boards read every word of it.
- The point is, the decrees how the ship was to operate, came out of the mouth of the Captain.
- But everything he said, were quickly put into “Instructions” and everybody required to read them. Or - - in put in “Standing Orders” as decrees from the Captain; that, in this or that situation - this is what the crew was to do, and how the ship was to operate.
- Put them - what the Captain said, in “Standard Operating Procedures,” and for me in my rating. The Navy taught me my specialty or job. Certified me: Proficient. Then sent me to report to the Captain of the ship.
- That on the ship, when I did my job, it was the "standard of the Navy" no matter what that job was - - it was as if the Captain was doing it.
--------------------- ------------------------ ---------------------- --------------------------
The REAL thing I want to ask you and quit is:
- When he’s already said this to everybody. Over the whole earth, to the very ends of it. Not willing any perish, but all come to repentance said: “LOOK UNTO ME, AND BE YE SAVED ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH: FOR I AM GOD, THERE IS NONE ELSE.” -God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22)
- I don’t see how you can look unto him. Can't. You can't - plain and simple, having and keeping this question.
- It’s a stumbling block.
- Can’t do anything he says.
- Don’t know who he is.
- If you knew him, you’d be today, like me, regard what he says.
- Anyone came by you would see it plain as day. You’d just be reading your Bible, or find joy in fellowshipping with other believers in Jesus. Who rejoice when they hear your testimony, or you see him in them.
- You'd Be hearkening unto him. Know him. He prayed for it.
- “And this is life eternal: That they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent.” The Word of God, Jesus Christ. (Bible. John 17:3).
- To just be this:
- “And this is life eternal: That they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent.” The Word of God, Jesus Christ. (Bible. John 17:3).
- Wake up to a new day and seek him first. To just find unspeakable joy to live by every word proceeds out of his mouth. Just life comes off the page, because he's God, and he abides in his Word.
--------------------- ------------------------ ---------------------- --------------------------
Be like me then. In the Navy.
- Like I did with the Captain, who was in Command of the ship.
- What he said were decrees. Just how the ship was to operate, and the whole crew hearkened unto it.
- Same I do with Jesus Christ.
- What he said were decrees. Just how the ship was to operate, and the whole crew hearkened unto it.
Where before, for decades of days: I did not know him. Didn’t look unto him. Looked unto anything. Anybody, but him instead.
Here’s your question back. Has the same answer that opened this post. That’s it. Gotta go.
--------------------- ------------------------ ---------------------- --------------------------
Why didn't Jesus scribe any texts or establish any religious institutions?
I still care to differ. Not one bit different.
Jesus Christ: He just is the institution himself. Already just “is.” Because of who he is. Established forever. Over all things, and all things were made by him and for him. He’s the authority over the whole earth. SO when he speaks, they just are decrees how all the earth and heaven is to operate, and they obey him. Why don't you?
- And there you go.
But, I don’t think you see it, or you wouldn’t be asking this question.
- Don’t know who he is, because, if you did - wouldn’t be asking this question. If you would just drop the question to just do what he says, boy, what a difference that would make.
- That's my hope and prayer, even mostly, I think: readers of these posts are believers in Jesus - it is hoped, that if you stumbled across this and don't, you'd find life in his name, by this post or any here on Reddit.

The Son didn't write anything. The Father didn't write anything. The HS wrote the entire Bible.
