“And the sparrow?

A sparrow is allowed, an evil bird, a snide one.

His thoughts are like a crook’s in his head.

He doesn’t like people to feel good.

When Christ was crucified, he carried nails to the Jews.

And he shouted: “Alive, alive!”

A.P.Chekhov “A day outside the city”

This is how a great writer, a humanist, describes it, who called on everyone to “Squeeze a drop out of a slave” (But not out of HIMSELVES!!!) and demanding from everyone (But not from HIMSELF!) “beauty in thoughts, clothes, body …well, in everything-everything”, the eternally drunk shoemaker Terenty, “educating” two children, Fekla and Danilka, with his clever sermons, who listen to him as a prophet and mentor! Moreover, this is by no means Chekhov’s sarcasm, not a censure, but a teaching quite consistent with Anton Pavlovich’s opinion.

Who the kids will grow up to be after such instructions is clear: “Beat the Jews, save Russia!”

Alexey Maximovich Gorky, who, unlike Chekhov, did not suffer from paranoid Judeophobia, wrote that “Christ was crucified by the churchmen,” meaning that one cannot blame the whole people for the death of Christ.

(Crucifixion, we note, is not an execution according to Judaism at all. There’s stoning. It was not the Jews who crucified Christ, but the Romans. And not because of his sectarian teachings, the Romans did not interfere with the beliefs of the conquered peoples, but were only interested in payments from the colonies to Rome. Christ was tried for a grave state crime according to Roman law: He declared himself king of Judea, while it was a colony of Rome.

It is not for nothing that the first question that the procurator of Judea Pontius Pilate asks Christ was: Do you call yourself the king of Judea?

And it was not for nothing that a sign was nailed to the cross above Christ’s head:

IESUS NAZARENUS – REX IUDAEORUM

Jesus of Nazareth – the king of Judea.)

A few quotes:

And all the people answered and said, “His blood is on us and on our children.”
Mtf 27.25

“14. For you, brethren, have become imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus, which are in Judea, because you also suffered the same things from your fellow tribesmen as they suffered from the Jews.,
15. Who killed the Lord Jesus and his prophets, and drove us out, and do not please God, and resist all men.,
16. who prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved, and through this they always fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath draws near against them to the end.”
1 Thessalonians

By the way, it was only at the 2nd Vatican Council (1965), and even then with some difficulty, that the church doctrine of the collective guilt of Jews for the death of Christ was abolished.

The funny thing is that all these Christ-loving saints haven’t read the Gospels themselves, and if they have, they haven’t understood anything, and if they have, then vice versa.

In the chapters describing the last days of Christ’s life, two episodes are given:

The episode with “the traitor for thirty pieces of silver” Judas Iscariot and

The episode with his beloved and most devoted disciple, the apostle Peter (Galilean fisherman Shimon), about whom Christ said: “On this PETRA I will build my church.” Petra, in translation, is A ROCK, A STONE. So, according to “PETRA”, Shimon became Peter..

When Peter, a beloved and faithful disciple of Christ, learned that his Teacher was in danger of arrest and possibly death, he called on Christ to take refuge from his persecutors, to hide. Thus, save yourself and your teaching. To which Christ, despite all his hypocritical sermons about loving one’s neighbor and even on’s ENEMY, maliciously snapped: “GET AWAY FROM ME, SATAN!!!”

(If Peter became Satan only because he showed human love and devotion to the Teacher, then Christ should not persecute him, but also love him as HIS ENEMY!!!)

It’s strange, isn’t it: Is Christ going to build his church on this Petra and is calling this same Petra SATAN??? So what? Was Christ going to build something not on God’s teaching, but on Satanic???

It’s hard to believe such an absurdity. Then how can we explain such a malicious and ungrateful reaction of the kind-hearted Christ?

It remains to be assumed that, being the SON of GOD and himself a GOD-MAN, he KNEW IN ADVANCE what fate his father had prepared for him: A torturous death on the cross! And he rejected Peter’s words as some kind of vile temptation from SATAN to VIOLATE GOD’S WILL! Which was absolutely unacceptable to him, because all the time he preached about complete obedience to all the commands of GOD the FATHER! Who is nothing but the embodiment of universal good, forgiveness, kindness and mercy!

However, the night before his arrest, he cried in solitude and asked his FATHER, if possible, to spare him from this cup of suffering …

So, it is quite obvious that Peter, loving the Teacher in a purely human way and wanting to save him from death, committed a terrible sin with his advice, daring TO GO AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD the FATHER, who calmly sent his only son to Golgotha (That’s for US – humans – incomprehensible, intellectual protoplasm, – non undertandable HIS HIGHER considerations)!

That is why Christ angrily and maliciously turned away from this blasphemer, for above all for him it was to fulfill what his FATHER had chosen for his son – a painful death on the cross.

And this lousy Jew, Shimon-Peter, wanted to persuade Christ to succumb to satanic temptation and stay alive, violating with this heinous blasphemy the MOST GRACIOUS WILL OF the MOST GRACIOUS ALMIGHTY FATHER!!!

But if we accept THIS EXPLANATION of the strange, monstrously malicious and unjust act of Christ, then it means that ALL THOSE who obediently fulfilled the WILL of the LORD GOD the FATHER are not murderers, not villains, not sellers of Christ, but just the opposite, faithful to the will of GOD the FATHER, lovers of Christ, novices, saints and righteous of GOD!

This means that Judas Iscariot, unlike the God-fearing Peter, correctly understood the plan of the Almighty and carried it out exactly.

So if “the blood of Christ is on all the Jewish people,” this only proves that this people followed the will of God the Father ALONG with CHRIST, hastening the providence of God.

So why judge, curse, and accuse this God-obedient people, who did the SAME THING THAT Christ himself WANTED, and who steadfastly followed the will of God the Father!

There is no BLAME on Judas Iscariot, the “churchmen,” or the people – they all strictly followed the commands of God the Father, who sent his son to Golgotha! And Christ himself followed it just as steadily! Otherwise, he would not have barked rudely and viciously at the BLASPHEMER Peter WHO LOVES HIM!

Peter, in Christ’s opinion, was the worst enemy of God the Father and all his higher providences, because with “satanic malice and cunning” he wanted to persuade the Son of God to go against the Father’s will!!!

But let us remember: THE WAYS OF THE LORD ARE INSCRUTABLE! Christ knew and understood this, but Peter, the beloved disciple, did not understand his teacher’s teaching, for which he suffered from harsh abuse.

THE BLOOD OF Jesus CHRIST is only on his kindest and wisest GOD, the FATHER, and only on him!

That’s what the Holy Gospel proclaims, which every self-appointed saint is too lazy to read, and even more so to think about it!

If I’m wrong, let my older comrades correct me in faith (or disbelief, if necessary)!
