&lt;div&gt;== Based on Victor Porton&#039;s sermon ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;7dMojQwzxfk&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short sermon on Matthew 7:1-5:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among atheistic philosophers and scientists it’s popular to criticize biblical God for people suffering, being sick, being not protected from killing each other, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us see this in the light of the scripture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“1 Do not criticize, that you may not be criticized. 2 For by what criticism ye criticize, you will be criticized, and by what measure you measure, it will be measured to you. 3 And why do you see the speck in your brother&#039;s eye, but do not notice the beam in your own eye? 4 Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the speck from your eye, and behold, the beam in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck from your brother&#039;s eye.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now it’s clear that God behaves to people just like as people behave to laboratory rats. God makes experiments on people (not because God would not know the outcome of experiments, but to reliably demonstrate the outcomes).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If people would not torture lab rats, God would not torture people, accordingly Matthew 7:2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#039;t propose to immediately ban all harm to lab animals for the following reason: If it would be done fully (and this would probably include even no harm to bacteria), then accordingly the Gospel of Matthew, God would have pity on us. But if some governments would implement this policy, some not, it would be done partially. And doing this partially is no good: Better to continue the current policy of harming laboratory animals for the benefit of humanity, because this is a consistent policy, not half-measures.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Based on Victor Porton&#039;s sermon ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;v_NSp8HvRDw&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An explanation about Jesus having been tempted by the devil. Gospel of Matthew 4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 1 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why the spirit leads to be tempted rather than to avoid having been tempted?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A temptation is a kind of a problem or question than needs to be answered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A simple example of a temptation: Somebody says you in a email: “Pay me $100 and in ten minutes I will return you $1000.” The proper response is to reject the temptation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The temptation is any information that may lead to a decision that looks good (you gain $900), but is in fact bad (you lose $100). That’s the definition of a temptation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that a temptation is a kind of a question that needs to be answered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many people think, that the more information they receive, the better informed decision they make. But in fact, if there is a temptation in that information, more information may actually lead to poorer decisions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After overcoming that temptation, you would probably write a manual, how to deal with such email temptations, for other not fall into it, too. Jesus speaking with the devil answered questions that apply not only to that personal situation but also to the future. It is a manual about how to answer to the devil. This is the reason, why Spirit led Jesus to be tempted by the devil. Because a temptation is a kind of a question that needs to be answered, Jesus answered the devil’s questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 2 And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards He hungered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jesus should have answered the questions when He was weak, when there was not enough glucose in His brain. That’s because it would not suit, if Jesus overcome the devil by complex philosophical answers, through with long discussions (which He didn’t has the power to settle, because He was hungry). It required short, striking answers, to be applicable to many situations in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 3 And coming near to Him, the Tempter said, If You are the Son of God, speak that these stones may become bread. 4 But answering, He said, It has been written: &amp;quot;Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word going out of the mouth of God.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only meaning that I see in these words of Jesus is that we should fit into the plan of God. If Jesus would say this, this would not be in the Father’s plan, and therefore would garble all the life of Jesus. I doubt how to apply these words of Jesus in Christian life practice, especially I don’t know how to apply it to prosperity Gospel. You are not so tightly connected to God the Father, as Jesus is; so we often cannot see when we are deviating from God’s plan and when no. Jesus even told us to ask the Father for food on every day. Probably, this means that we should ask for blessing only based on particular God’s promises (called “word going out of the mouth of God” by Jesus), rather than just saying “bless me”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 5 Then the Devil takes Him to the holy city, and he set Him on the wing of the temple. 6 And he said to Him, If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it has been written: &amp;quot;He shall give His angels charge concerning You, and they shall bear You on their hands, lest You strike Your foot against a stone.&amp;quot; 7 Jesus said to him, Again it has been written: &amp;quot;You shall not tempt the Lord your God.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This simply means that we should do not do experiments with God. In my podcast “Philosophy of Jesus Christ” I explain that God is a time machine and making experiments with a time machine may be dangerous. If Jesus would jump, He would be checking what God does in this situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 8 Again the Devil takes Him to a very high mountain, and he showed to Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him. I will give all these things to You if falling down, You will worship me. 10 Then Jesus said to him, Go, Satan! For it has been written: &amp;quot;You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve Him only.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here the devil discussed with Jesus who of them two will be the leader. Jesus, being God, said that he is sufficed only with the situation when Satan (even unwillingly, because Jesus outsmarts the devil) will serve to Him, not vice versa. The devil requested from Jesus symbolic language of worship falling down, what means that Jesus would proclaim a surrender.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 Then the Devil left Him. And behold! Angels came near and ministered to Him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After finishing the temptation, angels fed and cured Jesus after 40 days of hunger. By overcoming the temptation Jesus proved that He is worthy worship of angels.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Based on Victor Porton&#039;s sermon ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;XMS3flMdf3g&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A prophecy about computers in the Bible. The prophecy even specifies particular materials which computer chips are built from.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew chapter 3, verse 8-10, John the Baptist speaks:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8 Bring forth therefore fruits suitable for repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which brings not forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I checked with ChatGPT, that some of stones from the stones in the Jordan desert, where John preached, are suitable to build computer chips from them:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chert / Flint: Almost pure &#039;&#039;&#039;silica&#039;&#039;&#039; in microcrystalline form. Use for wafers: Yes — chemically, this is exactly what is needed for silicon wafers, though it must be purified to extreme levels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quartz Sandstone: Mostly quartz grains cemented together. Use for wafers: Yes — a standard industrial silica source; high-purity quartz sandstone is used in Norway and the U.S. today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basalt: Mostly silicate minerals. Use for wafers: Possible, but less efficient — requires more processing to extract silica.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quartz Pebbles in River Grave. Pure to semi-pure quartz. Use for wafers: Yes — if sufficiently pure, these could be a direct silica feedstock.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we have not one but four kinds of stones in this desert, from which computers could be built.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don’t know, whether John understood what he really said, but he happened to say that Abraham’s children could be built as silicon computers from these stones. I even suspect that God taught John some computer technologies, because of (Matthew 11:11) “Truly I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Jesus said that there were no more advanced person than John. Probably, having been taught by God, he was so advanced that knew about computers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, the prophet says that from stones can be built computers, who would become children of Abraham.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who are children of Abraham? (Galatians 3:7) “Know you therefore that those which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.” So, the prophet says that God can build computers believing in God “from these stones”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Modern AI are trained to be objective and not focusing on any particular religion (or atheism). But the prophet says that God can indeed build believing computers. They would be built by hands of Abraham descendants, making the computers also literal Abraham’s descendants.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then it follows a prophetic warning that those who don’t bear fruit will be cut off. Your character should be so strong that you bear a certain fruit even when AI makes work optional. That is, you should continue to work, doing all that you can. Otherwise, you will be cut off.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
The explanation of why Jesus has been Baptized by John the Baptist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew chapter 3:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13 Then Jesus arrived from Galilee to the Jordan, to John, to be baptized by him. 14 But John restrained Him, saying, I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me? 15 But answering, Jesus said to him, Allow it now, for it is becoming to us this way to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allowed Him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People come to John the Baptist to be baptized, confessing sins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jesus considered it like a sin to repent, when not all righteousness is fulfilled. He says that His righteousness didn’t yet reach perfectness and for Him it is like a sin that needs to be confessed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the example of Jesus and consider it as a sin when all good, that you can do, is not yet done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another explanation is that Jesus confessed the sin of people that He took onto himself.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;vSFQG8io8N4&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The explanation of what John the Baptist prophesied about Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew chapter 3:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 I indeed baptize you in water to repentance; but He who is coming after me is stronger than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire, 12 whose fan is in His hand, and He will cleanse His floor and will gather His wheat into the barn. But He will burn up the chaff with fire that cannot be put out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That John is not fit to carry sandals of Jesus, means that Jesus is so much skilled in carrying sandals, that John is of no help in this task. Jesus is incarnated God and does every task in the best manner. It means that Jesus carries his sandals so much skillfully, that other people cannot serve as a help in this task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compare (Mark 7:37) “And they were most exceedingly amazed, saying, He has done all things well…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is not true that Jesus is kind to all people: “He will burn up the chaff with fire”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pentecostals distorted the teaching of the Bible “baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire” into garbled “baptism by fire of Holy Spirit”. That’s essential because God is light (1st John 1:5) and fire is what seraphs consist off. That is Pentecostals started to serve to seraphs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Baptists, on the other hand, refused to believe into fire from heaven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, the united Baptist church of the past has split into two sects with false teachings soon after the famous Azuza street revival of 1900 year (at which the Pentecostal church appeared).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because when my mother restricted my food as a punishment for following Jesus and I was deadly hungry during several years, I was not fed by both Baptists and Pentecostal, I suppose that probably these false teachings make both unsaved, accordingly a possible interpretation of the proverb about sheep and goats. I suspect that the Church does not exist now. I called out for food in a Christian Internet forum, where I was a well-known teacher and nobody helped me. How many people didn’t feed the hungry in this forum? Maybe, 10,000? Is it zero saved among 10,000 Christians?&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Based on Victor Porton&#039;s sermon ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;9vzNce6gCXA&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gospel of Matthew 2:10-11 &amp;quot;10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.” Verse 11 “And having come into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down, they worshiped him. And having opened their treasures, they brought to him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here we see that so called magi were joyful to give.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happened? The magi found a great man (by a prophecy) and give him with joy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you watch this video from the beginning, you should see the prophecy that I will be a pastor of at least 200,000 people. You should follow the example of magi and bless me by money, because I like Jesus have a prophecy for a big future. You can donate or buy something at my site.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You should bless me not only because of this prophecy, but also because I am a great mathematician. Accordingly Mt. 2:11, if you find a great man, you should donate to him. I was expelled from a university in Russia by religious discrimination. But I continued doing my mathematical research. I did exceedingly great discoveries, including the discovery of ordered semicategory actions that as important as the biggest math discovery in 19th century, groups. This my discovery could be done even in 19th century, too, but I found it only in 2019. So a big gap in mathematics has been fixed by me. I also discovered discontinuous analysis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Galois in 19th century discovered groups, and it is probably the greatest discovery in the History of mathematics. He probably was the greatest mathematician in History. But I did similar discoveries several times. So, now I am the greatest mathematician in known History.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we have a funny case of unlucky world powers. For example, the US or EU are unlucky that I don’t live on their territory and therefore don’t receive help for my mathematical work and publication, that would raise their economy, I expect, about 2 times. You know that the Bible teaches to help to unlucky people. Yes, they are unlucky, that I don’t have an American passport. Greedy people are unlucky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also work on carbon accounting. My part of the work is to protect people from fake carbon accountants who could steal carbon and thus crash the world economy by disasters. You should or rather must help me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another my math discovery is formal consideration of so called “subjective probabilities”. Big encyclopedias write that subjective probabilities cannot be formalized mathematically, but that’s wrong, in fact, I discovered them. Among other uses, subjective probabilities could probably allow to stop a potential nuclear war. In other words, whether there will be a nuclear war, may depend on how much you donate to me. God has given you money with an important purpose, indeed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I Corinthians 4:8 “Already ye are filled. Already ye have become rich. Ye reigned without us, and O that ye did indeed reign, so that we also might reign with you.” You reign like an eastern Tirane king if you don’t give. Who can command to a king? A philosopher can command to a king. As a philosopher, I command you to donate. A government law cannot oblige to donate (otherwise, it would be a tax rather than a donation), but there is also the moral law and it obliges to donate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please, click the link in video description and donate. Follow the example of magi who brought big donations instead of small one. But small donations also count.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think, millions of people died because of lag of world economy caused by me having lost the opportunity to obtain a science degree: ordered semicategory actions are so important! Save what you can yet save! Do, what you still can do.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;=== Based on Victor Porton&#039;s Sermon ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;ZNI9wO_LJZw&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My series of sermons about New Testament, starting with Matthew 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew, chapter 1... reading: &amp;quot;The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.&amp;quot; The phrase &amp;quot;Jesus Christ&amp;quot; can be translated also in another way: &amp;quot;Jesus of Christ&amp;quot;. It should be understood that the words Jesus and Christ are two different words. Jesus is a name of a man, Christ means the intergalactic network that connects everything in the universe, the power that penetrates everything and keeps everything together, that is electricity (that Christ is electricity, is clear from His words &amp;quot;I am the light of the world&amp;quot;, that is electromagnetism of the universe). I told that Jesus is the name of a man, but it has deeper meaning: it means not exactly the man, but something in his brain making into intergalactic contact. I think this stuff in his brain is an efficient NP-complete algorithm (for who don’t understand what is an efficient NP-complete algorithm, it, plainly explained, is something that would do you unbeatable in chess or any other game, an universal solver of all such games). Apparently, Jesus was a super-prodigy who solved mathematics in childhood. Get the book in the video description for more details. So, reread this: The book of nature of the algorithm of universal contact that connects galaxies together. That is, in some deep sense, it is something about nature of electromagnetism, that is deep encoded physics, that we can’t understand yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite of this, so to say, spiritual, intergalactic, or algorithmic meaning, Jesus is called a descendant of people: David and Abraham. We can conclude that his super-abilities are linked to his line of ancestry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I heard that there is a contradiction in the Bible: The following Matthew Gospel genealogy contradicts to the other genealogy in Luke Gospel. But, if we read carefully the verse 16 below “Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.”, we see that the Matthew version is not really a genealogy of Jesus, but of Joseph, who as we know wasn’t his biological father. So, no contradiction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’m skipping verses 2-15, because I am not yet qualified to understand their spiritual meaning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse “16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.” The word “called” has several other meanings, so I will translate “who is called Christ” also in several other ways: “who is described Christ”, “who is given out Christ”, “who is shown to be Christ”, “who is spoken Christ”. Probably, the last translation “who is spoken Christ” is the most important for us: Jesus is Christ in the sense that he speaks words of Christ. Later we will study Jesus being Christ in more complex, intricate ways, rather than being just a prophet of Christ, speaking his words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse “17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.” I don’t know, why this is important that these were 14 generations.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
A short sermon about John the Baptist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew chapter 3, verse 4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first impression of John manners is that he was deliberately poor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But I think, there was a deeper reason for this John’s lifestyle: I think, he was a survivalist. His lifestyle rather than being just deliberate poverty, was disconnection from urban supply chain. If the urban life crashes, John would still have food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite him being a great prophet, he didn’t predict his death from Herod, and his survivalism was in vain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But survivalism adds scores in a spiritual image, doesn’t it? Another reason, why John would choose deliberate poverty may be showing an example that even having financial opportunities (and he clearly had, because he was famous) one can refrain to spend much resources to leave more to real poor people.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
A short sermon about God’s way of doing economic research.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew chapter 3, verse 3.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It means that people need to make economical graphs straight. I do understood that making straight some graphs would make another ones curved. But the dependencies between most important economical parameters should be made straight. Particularly, poor should have the same abilities as rich ones, of course, divided by how less money they have. (For example, there should be no closed clubs for rich only.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The quotation is from:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Isaiah chapter 40, verses 3-5:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see: When you do certain economical acts (here it’s not said about prayer or something spiritual), glory of God reveals. Also note, that this is about the coming desert of climate change. So, now it is especially important to make economy plain.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;z1JGSyS91Ns&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short sermon about what the human soul is. Matthew chapter 3, verses 1-2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 1 “In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The word “wilderness” has not only the literal but also spiritual sense: It means that Judea was a spiritual wilderness in the sense that it was not “watered” by presence of Holy Spirit. It was a small world controlled mostly by Pharisees and Sadducees. Sadducees were just plainly anti-spiritual: They disbelieved in angels and Spirit, but ironically their families controlled the temple. Pharisees followed the rules of the divine law how they understood it, but their hearts were far from the Lord. In the literal wilderness also Essenes lived. It looks plausible for me that John the Baptist was a past Essene, however left the sect for his individual service in the wilderness. Moreover, I think, even earthy life of Jesus has been strongly influenced by Essenes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 2 “And saying, Repent, you: for the kingdom of heaven is near.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Notice that repentance comes in a certain historical period. This is because in the Bible repentance is about relationships with God, not just about being “a good man” to other people. Without God being near it’s just impossible to repent. It is presence of the Kingdom of Heaven, what makes human soul alive. Soul, contrary to what many preachers say, isn’t just “an additional organ” (in the form of a ghost) for human body, it is a link of a human to Kingdom of Heaven and ultimately to God. Soul isn’t really a part of a human, because human is a body and soul is a link of the brain to God. If God is not present, there is no repentance and no eternal soul life. Before Adam people existed, but they were not accepted as reasonable creatures by the heavenly authorities. Adam apparently means not “a man” but means a reasonable creature. Adam passed some extremely complicated test and was granted the degree of a reasonable creature. Descendants of Adam therefore were not considered as mere animals that would serve as food to gods. Before Adam there were no human soul given by God, that is death was the end. But in the New Testament period human soul is raised to heavens. This is the time, when God calls people to repent, that is to start to think about their soul and with help of God be cleansed and reach heaven. Without coming of the Kingdom of Heaven, repentance was impossible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The human soul and spirit are products of God’s intervention onto the Earth, not a natural part of a human, because a human is the body. Apparently, the soul is just the electromagnetic activity of the brain. God, in this case, is the radio receiver. For soul to work, a receiver is necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now is a time when the Kingdom of Heaven is near. Accept the sacrifice of Jesus for your sins, because Christ will therefore transfer the cleansed content of your brain through soul and spirit to heaven. Just believe and accept sacrifice of Jesus for your brain to be transferred to heaven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that Kingdom of Heaven is nearing the Earth, despite of all spiritual wilderness. You don’t need to be purified before the Kingdom of Heaven nears, but just allow Jesus to cleanse you.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
A short sermon in my series of New Testament sermons on Matthew 2:16-18:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16 Herod was furious when he realized that the wise men had outwitted him. He sent soldiers to kill all the boys in and around Bethlehem who were two years old and under, based on the wise men’s report of the star’s first appearance. 17 Herod’s brutal action fulfilled what God had spoken through the prophet Jeremiah:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18 “A cry was heard in Ramah—weeping and great mourning. Rachel weeps for her children, refusing to be comforted, for they are dead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We see, that the Protestant opinion that saints in heaven don’t participate in life on the Earth, is wrong. Rachel participates in the life on the Earth. Her descendants are of interest to her. This confirms seemingly “pagan” opinion that dead people participate in life of their relatives.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
A short sermon in my series of New Testament sermons on Matthew 2:15:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Mt. 2:15) &amp;quot;And he was there until the end of Herod, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, Out of Egypt I called my Son.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here Matthew refers to (Hosea 11:1) &amp;quot;When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The prophet Hosea refers to Israel. Most likely, he did not know that God through him also speaks about the Messiah. It isn’t just spoken by a prophet, it is spoken by the Lord through a prophet. You see that authors of the Bible may not know about deeper meaning spoken through them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus we know that the Bible has multiple senses, and often the question asked about what this text makes no sense, because there are multiple senses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And most importantly, almost every modern theologian would call this quote out-of-context. But this is a quote in God’s word, it cannot be wrong. So, God likes out-of-context spiritual quotes from His word.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== Based on Victor Porton&#039;s sermon ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;t4FjErMAH7E&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My next sermon on the New Testament. It gives a definite explanation of the Bethlehem star.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gospel of Matthew, chapter 2:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 1 “Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,” Verse 2 “Where is he who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These people who came to worship Jesus are usually called magi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, what the &amp;quot;star&amp;quot; (the ancient word translated &amp;quot;star&amp;quot; means any object in the heaven) cannot be? It cannot be a supernova: supernovas don’t go and stop (as seen from the Earth), but are visually moved together with the rest of the heaven. Also there is no Chinese and Babylonian records of “new stars” in this time period. Could it be a comet? A comet may happen to move on the heaven and at a moment stop visually. But how could ancient men calculate the exact house over which it stopped? Maybe, it would be possible for modern astronomers, but not for technology of that time. They saw the “star” staying over a particular barn, not just pointing to a city from a big distance, because they knew, as we see below, it’s Bethlehem, even without the “star”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seems that the only coherent explanation is that it was some kind of UFO: maybe a flying saucer or an object consisting of energy. They simply saw an UFO hanging at not a very high altitude over the barn where Jesus was born. If the altitude of the object would be high, the magi would be unable to determine the exact place that it hangs over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another note: The magi saw the “star” at the east, but they came from the east, too. I wonder, that they went in the direction opposite to the direction in which they saw the star. How did they guess that this star signifies the Messiah, not some other event? I think, the most coherent explanation that the UFO talked to them and called to visit Bethlehem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also note that at that time period there were several kings sharing the name Herod. It explains some apparent contradictions in the Bible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 3 “And Herod the king having heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.” 4 “And having gathered together all the chief priests and scholars of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ is born.” 5 “And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea. For thus it is written through the prophet,” 6 “And you Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come forth a man who rules, who will tend my people Israel.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see from this, that the magi would be informed that Christ was born in Bethlehem even without the “star”. The “star” or rather UFO informed them about the particular house where he was born, not about the city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 7 “Then Herod having called the wise men privately, ascertained from them what time the star appeared.” 8 “And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, After going, search diligently about the child. And when you find him, report to me, so that I also having come, may worship him.” [Herod lied.] 9 “And when they heard the king, they departed. And behold, the star that they saw in the east went before them until, having come, it stood over where the child was.” That is, UFO over a particular barn.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;0WoUGJKUQEA&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sermon on Matthew 6:24:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No man can serve two lords: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to serve to mammon? It means that mammon determines what you do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the heaven, there are two bursas: Mammon and Christ. The finances of the Earth is a part of Mammon. To learn more about Christ, see my podcast “Philosophy of Jesus Christ”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do I speak my own opinion or is it confirmed by the scripture? (1st Peter 1:19) “but by precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted-of Christ”. What does the word “precious” mean? It means what is traded on a bursa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You therefore need to choose how you evaluate values. If you evaluate people or organizations based on their amount on a bank account, you chose mammon as your lord.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consider a mathematician as an example: a mathematician may be poor, but determine the further path of all the world economy. You must not judge people by the amount in the bank. Otherwise you serve to Mammon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moreover, your legal opinion about how much a given person has should be different than the amount on his bank account. You should agree to take a cheque backed by God’s reward rather than money.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You should work for changing the amounts of money of bank accounts to be more near to the amounts of God’s rewards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, I am a mathematician who discovered ordered semigroup actions. You should use your money to make my account a little bit nearer to the just reward that could be trillions dollars of reward. I mean that you need to donate, otherwise you will be judged as a servant of Mammon.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;vJFK-D109ak&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A sermon on Matthew 5:18:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;For truly I say to you, until the heaven and the earth pass away, one iota or one tittle will, no, not pass away from the law, until all things come to pass.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Physicists hypothesize that if to concentrate a giant energy (like the energy of a supernova star burst) in one point, then the so called “false vacuum” (not entirely empty space, but filled with a certain energy) on which our universe is based may turn into true vacuum (the emptiest space) with a speed-of-light chain reaction burst of the entire universe turning it to something other (and killing life in the universe, by the way). Don’t worry about the Large Hadron Collider: The energy needed to burst the universe is very much far higher than people can. It also can happen by incident without concentrating the energy in one point, but that’s really low-probability event. (Some physicists conjecture that it’s one in 10 to the 868 power of the chance it reaches us).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently, Jesus talks about this burst, when saying “heaven and the earth pass away.” He this way, probably implies that the probability of passing away one iota is less than one in 10 to the 868 power, though it could be yet of not exactly zero probability.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The word “parerchomai” for pass away, means by Greek grammar that the universe may fall out into a state near the state it has now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also notice that the Gospels imply that words of Jesus are even more durable than Torah: Torah is guaranteed by Jesus to be preserved only while the heaven and the Earth exists, but His words extend after the end of this world: (Mt. 24:35) “The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words may, no, not pass away.” However, (Lk. 16:17) “But it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(2Pe. 3:10-12) “10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, during which the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the elements, being intensely hot, will be disintegrated, and the earth and the works in it will be destroyed by fire. 11 Therefore, all these things being disintegrated, what kind ought you to be in holy actions and pieties, 12 anticipating and hastening the coming of the day of God, by which the heavens, being made fiery hot, will be disintegrated, and the elements dissolve, being intensely hot?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jesus claims that after this event, His words will be indeed preserved. How, would I ask a physicist and receive no answer. Peter asked, how could we be preserved after this? His answer is that holiness and purity can preserve alive (apparently, in a spiritual form) after this catastrophe.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== Based on Victor Porton&#039;s sermon ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;cPgBnrQmbWo&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will show that God considers PhD as a sin, because of the stamp on the forehead and because of the following Matthew verse. You need to clean from this sin, even if you are not a PhD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A sermon on Matthew 5:20:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scribes are now called PhD. Pharisees are defined by Strong’s Greek lexicon as “a separatist, i.e. exclusively religious”. Let call them “monks”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both PhDs and monks have strong ethic codexes. Many, if not most, PhDs strive to improve well-being of mankind by doing scientific research, rather than just working for money. Monks dedicate life to prayer. But God rejects both PhDs and monks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is righteousness? It is proper alignment with a standard of goodness. Many PhDs are aligned with their ethics. But God does not suffice with their ethics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jesus is requiring righteousness that is greater than both PhDs and monks. That is, you need to have features of both PhDs (search for knowledge) and monks (dedication by faith). If you don’t search for knowledge, you won’t enter into kingdom of heaven. If you are not a robot for doing good (like monks pretend), you won’t enter the kingdom of heaven. To enter into kingdom of heaven, you need both search for knowledge (not only religious one) and dedicate yourself to God.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
God is against the closed system of the academia. Why? I discovered in mathematics some things such as ordered semigroup actions and discontinuous analysis. But the world is divided (PhDs vs non-PhDs) so that there is no celebration of my discoveries. Introducing ordered semigroup actions into the educational system would probably grow world economy additional 2x in 30 years (or faster due to AI). That nobody helps me is a big crime (at least, morally), like stealing $50 trillion. God holds PhDs responsible for the crime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like other Christians, I tried to guess what the “stamp on the forehead” from Rev. 13:16 may mean. Once I however was struck by what seems the most proper understanding: “forehead” here means what is the stamp is for: the mind located in forehead, that is the stamp is a certification of the mind, the higher education degree. And the other stamp in the same verse is on a hand, that is the stamp of hand-working skills that a human has.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This also explains some of the hidden sense after (Rev. 13:17) “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” This simply means that people having no either higher education or registered working skills (mark on the hand) will have no legal capacity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The stamp on the forehead is called the stamp of the beast, a symbol of stupidity. Moreover, (Rev. 14:10) “… The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation…” Wine signifies stupidity, because a human who drank wine becomes stupid. This is especially true for wine poured out without mixture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This means that the “brain” of this world, the academy is considered stupid by God. One example of such stupidity is missingness of ordered semigroup actions in scientific databases, due to degree separation process and everybody being greedy (you not paying for my work despite it is important).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(1Jn. 2:2) “And he is the propitiation… for the sins of the whole world”. A possible translation is whole world, rather than entire world. For people for whom the world is divided into castes (not whole), such as PhDs and non-PhDs, there is no propitiation for the sins, that is they go to the hell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, consider: Even you yourself aren’t a PhD, you may have PhD friends, you may trade (even unknowingly) with PhD, etc. So, you are contaminated by the theft of $50T. (1Cor. 6:10) “… thieves… shall [not] inherit the kingdom of God.” So, the only way to be clean from theft is to return the money to the society. I work on a project that will distribute money to scientists using blockchain. So, to return money to the society, you need to donate to me. (The first donations will be used to move finances to a charity instead of my personal money.) If you are a PhD, just send like half of your salary. See the link in the video description, how to donate. If you didn’t donate, you are still in theft sin and the heaven are closed for you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may be against me earning this way money through religion. But in this case, if you don’t donate me, because of that your reasoning, you go to the hell because you consider me not ethical. What is more important: not to send me money because of your religious ethics, or you not to go to the hell? It is more important that you should be cleaned from participation in the theft of $50T by donating back to the society. Suppose, if I had the same ethics as you. Then I would weep: I can’t earn a little money for returning $50T to its place, and billions of people would suffer from my ethics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are told that you are evil, you can change, and you don’t, you are going to the hell: (He. 10:26-27) “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may ask: But how then salvation by faith? Aren’t you preaching salvation by deeds? It is resolved using a simple but important principle: If you both want and can, then you do. If you request from God salvation, then you want to do good deeds (because salvation is not “I don’t want to go to the hell”, but it is instead “I want to become good, that is to do good deeds.”) When you request from God grace, you request to get the desire to do good. You request God to make you a robot doing good. Therefore, if you repent, then you want to return stolen money. If you both want and can return money, then you return money. If you don’t want to return money, then you didn’t receive grace against theft, because you didn’t pray that you wouldn’t a thief anymore and are not willing to become non-thief. So, you don’t pay, only if you are not saved by faith. In other words, when you convert to Christ, you request God to make you a robot doing good. If you are not doing good, then you never requested it from God. Think about (1Pe 1:17) “And if you call on a Father, him who judges impartially according to each man&#039;s work, live the time of your journey in fear.”, (Jam. 2:24) “You see therefore that from works a man is made righteous, and not from faith only.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you never requested God to make you do good, then you never converted to Christ. To ask not to take you to hell is not enough. If you don’t want to be non-thief, you cannot ask God to make you non-thief. If you want to be non-thief and can pay, you will pay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When bombing Germany, everybody there were assumed to be a Nazi, unless he/she were belonging to resistance movement. Who is not with me to overcome the PhD system, is against me. (Matthew 12:30) “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Based on Victor Porton&#039;s sermon ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;7dMojQwzxfk&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A short sermon on Matthew 7:1-5:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among atheistic philosophers and scientists it’s popular to criticize biblical God for people suffering, being sick, being not protected from killing each other, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us see this in the light of the scripture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“1 Do not criticize, that you may not be criticized. 2 For by what criticism ye criticize, you will be criticized, and by what measure you measure, it will be measured to you. 3 And why do you see the speck in your brother&#039;s eye, but do not notice the beam in your own eye? 4 Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the speck from your eye, and behold, the beam in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck from your brother&#039;s eye.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now it’s clear that God behaves to people just like as people behave to laboratory rats. God makes experiments on people (not because God would not know the outcome of experiments, but to reliably demonstrate the outcomes).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If people would not torture lab rats, God would not torture people, accordingly Matthew 7:2.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Based on Victor Porton&#039;s sermon ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;oAXoKXEp97k&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a sermon about Gospel of Matthew 1:18-25.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 18 &amp;quot;Now the birth of Jesus Christ was this way. For his mother Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found having in her womb from the Holy Spirit.&amp;quot; The words &amp;quot;come together&amp;quot; seems to mean that they actually cohabited after birth of Jesus, and Roman Catholics are wrong about Joseph being just a too old for cohabitation man who just guarded virginity of Mary, rather than being her real husband.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Holy Spirit is powerful, it can violate laws of biology. Holy Spirit is God acting at a distance. God uses two ways to act at a big distance: revelation of Christ and Holy Spirit. Revelation of Christ does not do, if there is no hearer. But Holy spirit is like as if God bound tiny particles in the acted upon object by so to say tiny ropes and pull them. This is similar on how nano-bots would act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 19 &amp;quot;But Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to expose her to public disgrace, intended to dismiss her privately.&amp;quot; Have you wondered: If Joseph was a righteous man, he would follow the Mosaic law and would therefore decide to bring death penalty on Mary, because of Deuteronomy 22:23-24: &amp;quot;If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die...&amp;quot;? But Joseph didn’t decide to bring death penalty on Mary. In Jewish tradition, a truly just man is not merely legalistic, but also merciful. Joseph&#039;s righteousness was not only about strict adherence to the law, but about reflecting God&#039;s own mercy. The Hebrew Bible often shows God balancing justice with mercy (e.g., Micah 6:8: “Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God”). Even Christians don’t always have mercy, but follow literal meaning of the commandments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 20 &amp;quot;But while he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take Mary to be thy wife, for that which was begotten in her is from the Holy Spirit.&amp;quot; The Bible teaches by this verse and others to take seriously dreams where God or angels appear. I saw in a night dream that I am a pastor in ten worship buildings each for 20,000 seats. I take this seriously, I believe that God chose me for that ministry, despite it is an unreachable success for me: I am a great mathematician (however, not so great if to compare myself with coming AI) but not so great candidate to become a pastor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 21 &amp;quot;And she will bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS, for he will save his people from their sins.&amp;quot; Jesus is an abbreviature from &amp;quot;saving Lord&amp;quot;, what means that he saves people from sins. Note that sin is a danger that a human needs to be saved from. It is not just a bad behavior, it is a threat to the infected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 22 &amp;quot;Now all this has come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,&amp;quot; Verse 23 &amp;quot;Behold, the virgin will have in her womb, and will bring forth a son. And they will call his name Immanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us.&amp;quot; Somebody could conclude that there is a contradiction here: Jesus and Emmanuel are two different names. But first they have the same prophetic significance: saving presence of God with us. Second, probably in ancient Israel there was a tradition like as in modern USA: to give children multiple names. So, there is no reason to assume that it is a contradiction in the Bible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 24 &amp;quot;And Joseph, being roused from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord ordered him. And he took his wife,&amp;quot; Here we see that the dream of Joseph was really at sleep, not a day vision. My vision of being a megachurch pastor has the same validity as Joseph’s one: a message from God.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 25 &amp;quot;and knew her not until she brought forth her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.&amp;quot; The word &amp;quot;until&amp;quot; seems to mean that after she gave birth to Jesus, Joseph and Mary indeed cohabited.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

A short sermon on Matthew 7:1-5:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among atheistic philosophers and scientists it’s popular to criticize biblical God for people suffering, being sick, being not protected from killing each other, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us see this in the light of the scripture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“1 Do not criticize, that you may not be criticized. 2 For by what criticism ye criticize, you will be criticized, and by what measure you measure, it will be measured to you. 3 And why do you see the speck in your brother&#039;s eye, but do not notice the beam in your own eye? 4 Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the speck from your eye, and behold, the beam in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck from your brother&#039;s eye.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now it’s clear that God behaves to people just like as people behave to laboratory rats. God makes experiments on people (not because God would not know the outcome of experiments, but to reliably demonstrate the outcomes).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If people would not torture lab rats, God would not torture people, accordingly Matthew 7:2.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;0WoUGJKUQEA&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sermon on Matthew 6:24:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No man can serve two lords: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it mean to serve to mammon? It means that mammon determines what you do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the heaven, there are two bursas: Mammon and Christ. The finances of the Earth is a part of Mammon. To learn more about Christ, see my podcast “Philosophy of Jesus Christ”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do I speak my own opinion or is it confirmed by the scripture? (1st Peter 1:19) “but by precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted-of Christ”. What does the word “precious” mean? It means what is traded on a bursa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You therefore need to choose how you evaluate values. If you evaluate people or organizations based on their amount on a bank account, you chose mammon as your lord.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consider a mathematician as an example: a mathematician may be poor, but determine the further path of all the world economy. You must not judge people by the amount in the bank. Otherwise you serve to Mammon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moreover, your legal opinion about how much a given person has should be different than the amount on his bank account. You should agree to take a cheque backed by God’s reward rather than money.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You should work for changing the amounts of money of bank accounts to be more near to the amounts of God’s rewards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, I am a mathematician who discovered ordered semigroup actions. You should use your money to make my account a little bit nearer to the just reward that could be trillions dollars of reward. I mean that you need to donate, otherwise you will be judged as a servant of Mammon.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
I will show that God considers PhD as a sin, because of the stamp on the forehead and because of the following Matthew verse. You need to clean from this sin, even if you are not a PhD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A sermon on Matthew 5:20:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scribes are now called PhD. Pharisees are defined by Strong’s Greek lexicon as “a separatist, i.e. exclusively religious”. Let call them “monks”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both PhDs and monks have strong ethic codexes. Many, if not most, PhDs strive to improve well-being of mankind by doing scientific research, rather than just working for money. Monks dedicate life to prayer. But God rejects both PhDs and monks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is righteousness? It is proper alignment with a standard of goodness. Many PhDs are aligned with their ethics. But God does not suffice with their ethics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jesus is requiring righteousness that is greater than both PhDs and monks. That is, you need to have features of both PhDs (search for knowledge) and monks (dedication by faith). If you don’t search for knowledge, you won’t enter into kingdom of heaven. If you are not a robot for doing good (like monks pretend), you won’t enter the kingdom of heaven. To enter into kingdom of heaven, you need both search for knowledge (not only religious one) and dedicate yourself to God.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
God is against the closed system of the academia. Why? I discovered in mathematics some things such as ordered semigroup actions and discontinuous analysis. But the world is divided (PhDs vs non-PhDs) so that there is no celebration of my discoveries. Introducing ordered semigroup actions into the educational system would probably grow world economy additional 2x in 30 years (or faster due to AI). That nobody helps me is a big crime (at least, morally), like stealing $50 trillion. God holds PhDs responsible for the crime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like other Christians, I tried to guess what the “stamp on the forehead” from Rev. 13:16 may mean. Once I however was struck by what seems the most proper understanding: “forehead” here means what is the stamp is for: the mind located in forehead, that is the stamp is a certification of the mind, the higher education degree. And the other stamp in the same verse is on a hand, that is the stamp of hand-working skills that a human has.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This also explains some of the hidden sense after (Rev. 13:17) “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” This simply means that people having no either higher education or registered working skills (mark on the hand) will have no legal capacity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The stamp on the forehead is called the stamp of the beast, a symbol of stupidity. Moreover, (Rev. 14:10) “… The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation…” Wine signifies stupidity, because a human who drank wine becomes stupid. This is especially true for wine poured out without mixture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This means that the “brain” of this world, the academy is considered stupid by God. One example of such stupidity is missingness of ordered semigroup actions in scientific databases, due to degree separation process and everybody being greedy (you not paying for my work despite it is important).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(1Jn. 2:2) “And he is the propitiation… for the sins of the whole world”. A possible translation is whole world, rather than entire world. For people for whom the world is divided into castes (not whole), such as PhDs and non-PhDs, there is no propitiation for the sins, that is they go to the hell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, consider: Even you yourself aren’t a PhD, you may have PhD friends, you may trade (even unknowingly) with PhD, etc. So, you are contaminated by the theft of $50T. (1Cor. 6:10) “… thieves… shall [not] inherit the kingdom of God.” So, the only way to be clean from theft is to return the money to the society. I work on a project that will distribute money to scientists using blockchain. So, to return money to the society, you need to donate to me. (The first donations will be used to move finances to a charity instead of my personal money.) If you are a PhD, just send like half of your salary. See the link in the video description, how to donate. If you didn’t donate, you are still in theft sin and the heaven are closed for you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may be against me earning this way money through religion. But in this case, if you don’t donate me, because of that your reasoning, you go to the hell because you consider me not ethical. What is more important: not to send me money because of your religious ethics, or you not to go to the hell? It is more important that you should be cleaned from participation in the theft of $50T by donating back to the society. Suppose, if I had the same ethics as you. Then I would weep: I can’t earn a little money for returning $50T to its place, and billions of people would suffer from my ethics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are told that you are evil, you can change, and you don’t, you are going to the hell: (He. 10:26-27) “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may ask: But how then salvation by faith? Aren’t you preaching salvation by deeds? It is resolved using a simple but important principle: If you both want and can, then you do. If you request from God salvation, then you want to do good deeds (because salvation is not “I don’t want to go to the hell”, but it is instead “I want to become good, that is to do good deeds.”) When you request from God grace, you request to get the desire to do good. You request God to make you a robot doing good. Therefore, if you repent, then you want to return stolen money. If you both want and can return money, then you return money. If you don’t want to return money, then you didn’t receive grace against theft, because you didn’t pray that you wouldn’t a thief anymore and are not willing to become non-thief. So, you don’t pay, only if you are not saved by faith. In other words, when you convert to Christ, you request God to make you a robot doing good. If you are not doing good, then you never requested it from God. Think about (1Pe 1:17) “And if you call on a Father, him who judges impartially according to each man&#039;s work, live the time of your journey in fear.”, (Jam. 2:24) “You see therefore that from works a man is made righteous, and not from faith only.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you never requested God to make you do good, then you never converted to Christ. To ask not to take you to hell is not enough. If you don’t want to be non-thief, you cannot ask God to make you non-thief. If you want to be non-thief and can pay, you will pay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When bombing Germany, everybody there were assumed to be a Nazi, unless he/she were belonging to resistance movement. Who is not with me to overcome the PhD system, is against me. (Matthew 12:30) “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”&lt;br /&gt;
