THE WORLD LIKE CRETIANS, ARE LIARS, AND INHUMAN, PROFITING FROM IT.

Titus 1:12, King James Version states: "One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies." CRETE, is one of the largest island of the Mediterranean, bounding the Aegean Sea on the South. Mount Ida in Crete was famous in Greek legend as the birthplace of Zeus. CRETE currently is called CANDIA. ONE OF THEMSELVES, EVEN A PROPHET OF THEIR OWN, their own philosopher for the Greeks esteemed men of learnt characters; not prophet of God.  This PROPHET was Epimenides, who was born around 600 BC.,at Gnossus, in Crete, and was reckoned by many the seventh wise man of Greece, instead of Periander, to whom that honour was by them denied. Many fabulous things are related of this poet, which are not proper to be noticed here. He died about 538 BC. When St. Paul calls him a PROPHET OF THEIR OWN, he only intimates that he was, by the Cretans, reputed a PROPHET. And, according to Plutarch, (in Solone), the Cretans paid him divine honors after his death. Diogenes Laertius mentions some of his prophecies: beholding the fort of Munichia, which guarded the port of Athens, he cried out: "O ignorant men! if they but knew what slaughters this fort shall occasion, they would pull it down with their teeth!" This prophecy was fulfilled several years after, when the king, Antipater, put a garrison in this very fort, to keep the Athenians in subjection. See Diog. Laert., lib. i. p. 73. Plato, De Legibus, lib. ii., says that, on the Athenians expressing great fear of the Persians, Epimenides encouraged them by saying "that they should not come before ten years, and that they should return after having suffered great disasters." This prediction was supposed to have been fulfilled in the defeat of the Persians in the battles of Salamis and Marathon. He predicted to the Lacedemonians and Cretans the captivity to which they should one day be reduced by the Arcadians. This took place under Euricrates, king of Crete, and Archidamus, king of Lacedemon; vide Diog. Laert., lib. i. p. 74, edit. Meibom. It was in consequence of these prophecies, whether true or false, fable, that his countrymen esteemed him a prophet more than philosopher; that he was termed Greek ανηρ αθειος, ANER ATHEIOS, a divine man, by Plato; and that Cicero, De Divin., lib. i., says he was FUTURA PRAESCIENS, ET VATICINANS PER FUROREM: "He knew future events, and prophesied under a divine influence." These things are sufficient to justify the epithet of prophet, given him here by St. Paul. It may also be remarked that VATES and POETA, prophet and poet, were synonymous terms among the Romans. THE CRETIANS ARE ALWAYS LIARS - The words quoted here by the apostle Paul are,  from a work of Epimenides, now no longer extant, entitled in Greek Περι χρησμων, PERI CHRESMON· Concerning Oracles. The words form a hexameter verse: - Κρητες αει ψευσται, κακα θηρια, γαστερες αργαι, KRETES AEI PSEUSTAI, KAKA THERIA GASTERES ARGAI. The Cretans are always liars; destructive wild beasts; sluggish gluttons. That the CRETIANS were reputed to be egregious liars, several of the ancients declare; insomuch that Greek Κρητιζειν, KRETIZEIN, to act like a CRETIANS, signifies to lie; and χρησθαι Κρητισμῳ, CHRESTHAI KRETISMO to deceive. The other Greeks reputed them liars, because they said that among them was the sepulchre of Jupiter, who was the highest object of the Greek and Roman worship. By telling this truth, which all others would have to pass for a lie, the Cretans showed that the object of their highest admiration was only a dead man. EVIL BEASTS - Ferocious and destructive in their manners. Rude, savage, cunning and greedy. SLOW BELLIES - Addicted to voluptuousness, idleness, and gluttony; sluggish or hoggish men. Indolent through pampering their stomach. This is exactly what is happening in this world which is technically CRETE. We have politicians. They deceive in order to get votes. Once they get into office, they deceive they are the choices of God. They only satisfy their selfish interests. We have leaders of denominations, religions, who deceive they are servants of God. Once they have converts, they milk them dry, having posh homes, private jets, record labels, book copyrights, and many much accumulated wealth. These denominational pastors are enemies of Jesus Christ destined to hell, Romans 16:17-18; Philippians 3:17-19. Children are brought up in lies. Education is deceptions. Media is deceptions. People had cook and crook ways of survival. People are enlarging their stomachs, bellies, like pregnant women by becoming parasites on the less fortunate, the poor. They don't want to work and live by honest means. They are reproach after reproach, have scandals after scandals. They are crafty and cruel. They have no human sympathy, and lying, falsehood is the way they invade humanity. God as the Supreme Ruler of both heaven and earth, has put a knife on the throat of these idle gluttonous people, Proverbs 23:2, which John the Baptist, Matthew 3:10; and Jesus Christ, Luke 13:6-9, explained as axe laid on unfruitful trees to cut them down. Most people in the world are sick, spending their fortune in medicine because they are CRETIANS.

CORPORATE SIN! THE UNJUST MANAGER, CEO, MD.,WHO EXCELS IN HIS PERFORMANCE CONTRACT, WINNING TRUST OF THE COMPANY OWNER, BUT TURNED HELL MATERIAL.

TAKE SERIOUS TIME TO READ TO THE END. The message I bring here is not mine, neither my personal intellect/imaginations, but simply just explaining what Jesus Christ exactly taught his disciples. I completely beg to disagree with hypocrites deceiving themselves and the world, plus their charlatans who had twisted this Christ's teaching to support the idea that money obtained by fraud can be used to advance God's kingdom on earth. The text is Luke 16:1-13, King James Version Bible. Verse 1. "And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods." AND HE, Jesus Christ himself, not me as Israel Laban, his mere servant. SAID... UNTO HIS DISCIPLES, taught his believers who include us. THERE WAS A CERTAIN RICH MAN, a business tycoon, owner of group of companies, WHICH HAD A STEWARD, Greek Οικονομος, OIKONOMOS, from οικος, OIKOS, a house, or οικια, OIKIA, a family, and νεμω, MENO, I administer; a Chief Executive Officer, CEO, Managing Director, MD, who superintends all concerns of the companies, and report to the owner, having the products of the field, equipments, business transactions, decisions, manufacturing generally, and so on, put into his hands for this very purpose. THE SAME WAS ACCUSED OF HIM. Information was brought to the company owner who was his boss. This information was not gossip, allegations, for this Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director offered no defence against it. WASTED HIS GOODS. Had been profuse and profligate; and had embezzled, squandered his master's substance. This was criminal conduct, not neglect, neither ignorance of management. This man was committing fraud for selfish enrichment. Verse 2. "And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward." AND HE CALLED HIM, the company owner called the Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director face to face over the wicked conduct, issue. GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF THY STEWARDSHIP, produce thy books of receipts and disbursements, that I may see whether the accusation against thee be true or false. The original may be translated, GIVE UP THE MANAGEMENT, Greek τον λογον, TON LOGON, OF THE STEWARDSHIP. Verse 3. "Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed." THE STEWARD, that is the CEO, the MD. WHAT SHALL I DO? This man loved boardroom decisions, lucrative lifestyle, and lucrative salary given him by the company owner. FOR THE LORD TAKETH AWAY. The lord, Greek KURIOS, is the company owner, his employer, and not Jesus Christ. Taking the management job from THE STEWARD was depriving, taking life out of him. I CANNOT DIG - The CEO, MD, could not submit to become a common day-labourer, which was both a severe and base employment: TO BEG I AM ASHAMED. And as these were the only honest ways left him to procure a morsel of bread, survival and he would not submit to either, he found he must continue the system of KNAVERY, in order to provide for his idleness and luxury, or else starve. WOE TO THE MAN WHO GETS HIS BREAD IN THIS WAY! The curse of God must be on his head, and on his heart; in his basket, and in his store, fat bank accounts. He will forever remain client, as patient to hospitals, spending much on his treatment without success. Verse 4. "I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses." Realizing that him being fired is inevitable, the CEO, MD, had a plan to find support for his lucrative lifestyle. He focused on the way to make his former, company clients willing to offer him hospitality. THEY MAY RECEIVE ME - That is, the debtors and tenants, who paid their debts and rents, not in money, but in kind; such as wheat, oil, and other produce of their lands. Verse 5. "So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?" HE CALLED the company clients. There are four explanations regarding the conduct of this CEO, MD: (a) He dropped the price enough to ingratiate himself with the clients; (b) He removed the interests charged; (c) He removed commission on the transaction, and; (d) He reduced the debts. Verse 6. "And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty." A HUNDRED MEASURES OF OIL -Greek 'Ἑκατον βατους, HEKATON BATOUS, A hundred BATHS. The Hebrew בת BATH was the largest measure of capacity among Israelites, except the HOMER, of which it was the tenth part: see Ezekiel 45:11, 14. It is equal to the EPHAH, i.e. to SEVEN GALLONS AND A HALF of our measure. TAKE THY BILL - THY ACCOMPT, account - Greek το γραμμα, TO GRAMMA. The writing in which the debt was specified, together with the obligation to pay so much, at such and such times. This appears to have been in the hand-writing of the debtor, and signed by the steward, the CEO, MD: and this precluded imposition on each part. To prevent all appearance of forgery in this case, he is desired to write it over again, and to cancel the old engagement. In carrying on a running account with a tradesman, it is common among the Hindus for the buyer to receive from the hands of the seller a daily account of the things received; and according to this account, written on a slip of paper, and which remains in the hands of the buyer, the person is paid. This is exactly what is currently called INVOICE. Verse 7. "Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore." A hundred measures of wheat -Greek Ἑκατον κορους, HEKATON KOROUS, A HUNDRED CORS. Greek Κορος, KOROS, from the Hebrew כר COR, was the largest measure of capacity among the Hebrews, whether for solids or liquids. As the BATH was equal to the EPHAH, so the COR was equal to the HOMER. It contained about seventy-five gallons and five pints English. Verse 8. "And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." THE LORD COMMENDED - Viz. the master, company owner of this unjust steward, CEO, MD. He spoke highly of the address and cunning of his iniquitous servant. He had, on his own principles, made a very prudent provision for his support; but his master no more approved of his conduct in this, than he did in his wasting his substance before. This CEO, MD excels in his performance contract by fraud, and his boss without the knowledge of this, had his confidence won. THE CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD - Such as mind worldly things only, without regarding God or their souls. A phrase which is used to designate the children of Lucifer, Satan, John 8:44. CHILDREN OF LIGHT - Such as are illuminated by the Holy Spirit of God, believers in Jesus Christ, and regard worldly things only as far as they may subserve the great purposes of their salvation, and become the instruments of good to others. But ordinarily the former evidence more carefulness and prudence, in providing for the support and comfort of this life, than the latter do in providing for another world. CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD ARE IN THEIR GENERATION WISER THAT THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT is a way of expressing, saying that the children of the devil, in their pursuit of wealth, money are smartly cunning, fraudsters, like Satan their father than believers in Jesus Christ. Verse 9. "And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations." I SAY UNTO YOU. This is Jesus Christ speaking. MAKE TO YOURSELVES FRIEND. To make a friend is to have the same spirit, compassionate, companion relation, indicating affection whether natural or unnatural according to the Greeks. THE MAMMON OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS - Greek Μαμωνα της αδικιας, MAMONA TES ADIKIAS- literally, the MAMMON, or RICHES, OF INJUSTICE. Riches PROMISE MUCH, and PERFORM NOTHING: they excite HOPE and CONFIDENCE, and DECEIVE both: in making a man DEPEND on them for HAPPINESS, they rob him of the salvation of God and of eternal glory. For these reasons, they are represented as UNJUST and DECEITFUL. To insinuate that, if a man have acquired riches by unjust means, he is to sanctify them, and provide himself a passport to the kingdom of God, by giving them to the poor, or donating it as tithes or offerings to denominations, is a most horrid and blasphemous perversion of our Lord's words. God's kingdom cannot be advance by fraud, lies or deceptions. Ill gotten gain must be restored to the proper owners: if they are dead, then to their successors. WHEN YE FAIL - That is, when ye DIE. The Greek Text, Septuagint, LXX, use the word εκλειπειν, EKLEIPEIN, in this very sense, Jer 42:17, 22. So does Josephus, the Jewish historian (in his book Complete Works of Josephus) War, chap. iv. 1, 9. THEY MAY RECEIVE YOU. The people having the same spirit of fraud like yourself, your friends. INTO EVERLASTING INHABITATIONS, the place meant for you, your own place like Judas Iscariot, Acts 1:25. This place is hell, not heaven, where fellow fraudsters, crafty CEOs, MDs will welcome you to join them in the wailing and gnashing of teeth. The expression seems to be a Hebraism: - THEY MAY RECEIVE YOU, YE SHALL BE RECEIVED; i.e. hell shall admit you. He who abuses what belongs to his Maker has no reason to hope for eternal felicity. Verses 10,11. "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?" HE THAT IS FAITHFUL IN THAT WHICH IS LEAST,... - He who has the genuine principles of fidelity in him will make a point of conscience of carefully attending to even the smallest things; and it is by habituating himself to act uprightly in little things that he acquires the gracious habit of acting with propriety fidelity, honor, and conscience, in matters of the greatest concern. On the contrary, he who does not act uprightly in small matters will seldom feel himself bound to pay much attention to the dictates of honor and conscience, in cases of high importance. Can we reasonably expect that a man who is continually falling by little things has power to resist temptations to great evils? Verse 12. "And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?" THAT WHICH IS ANOTHER MAN'S - Or rather ANOTHER'S, Greek τῳ αλλοτριω, TO ALLOTRIO. That is, worldly riches, called another's: 1. Because they belong to God, and he has not designed that they should be any man's portion. 2. Because they are continually changing their possessors, being in the way of commerce, and in providence going from one to another. This property of worldly goods is often referred to by both sacred and profane writers. See a fine passage in Horace, Sat. l. ii. s. 2. v. 129. NAM PROPRIAE TELLURIS herumHERUM NATURA NEQUE ILLUM, NEC ME, NEC QUEMQUAM STATUIT. Nature will no perpetual heir assign, Nor make the farm his property, or mine. Francis And the following in one of our own poets: - "Who steals my purse steals TRASH; 'tis SOMETHING, NOTHING; 'Twas MINE, 'tis HIS, and has been slave to THOUSANDS." THAT WHICH IS YOUR OWN? - Grace and glory, which God has particularly designed for you; which are the only proper satisfying portion for the soul, and which no man can enjoy in their plenitude, unless he be faithful to the first small motions and influences of the Divine Spirit. Verse 13. "No servant can serve two masters: 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." NO SERVANT CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS - The heart will be either wholly taken up with God, or wholly engrossed with the world. The master of our heart may be fitly termed the love that reigns in it. We serve that only which we love supremely. A man cannot be in perfect indifference betwixt two objects which are incompatible: he is inclined to despise and hate whatever he does not love supremely, when the necessity of a choice presents itself. Our blessed Lord shows here the utter impossibility of loving the world and loving God at the same time; or, in other words, that a man of the world cannot be a truly a believer in character. He who gives his heart to the world robs God of it, and, in snatching at the shadow of earthly good, loses substantial and eternal blessedness. How dangerous is it to set our hearts upon riches, seeing it is so easy to make them our God! You can't serve the interest of money, and preach the Gospel at the same time. You will compromise the Gospel to get much money for yourself, survival, and that's the reason why denominations dine with politicians. Jewish rabbi Kimchi on teaching from Isaiah, Isa 40:21 said: "The whole world is considered as a house builded up: heaven is its roof; the stars its lamps; and the fruits of the earth, the table spread. The owner and builder of this house is the holy blessed God; and man is the steward, into whose hands all the business of the house is committed. If he considers in his heart that the masterars its lamps; and the fruits of the earth, the table spread. The owner and builder of this house is the holy blessed God; and man is the steward, into whose hands all the business of the house is committed. If he considers in his heart that the master of the house is always over him, and keeps his eye upon his work; and if, in consequence, he act wisely, he shall find favour in the eyes of the master of the house: but if the master find wickedness in him, he will remove him, Hebrew מן יפקדתו MIN PAKIDATO, from his Stewardship. The foolish steward doth not think of this: for as his eyes do not see the master of the house, he saith in his heart, 'I will eat and drink what I find in this house, and will take my pleasure in it; nor shall I be careful whether there be a Lord over this house or not.' When the Lord of the house marks this, he will come and expel him from the house, speedily and with great anger. Therefore it is written, He bringeth the princes to nothing." In this current world, if you own a house, then a spider can sneak into this house and live there. If you find it placing cobweb, you will remove it. If it continues to place cobwebs everywhere, then you will remove them and kill the spider. What about God the owner of all creation? He will remove the network of a rich man who oppress the poor, survive on fraud. If you continue with your networks, then God will kill you, and remove all those networks.

CHIEF OF SINNERS, PRESIDENT, MANAGING DIRECTOR, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHAIRMAN CAN BECOME CHIEF OF ALL SAINTS BY WAY OF SALVATION FROM JESUS CHRIST.

1 Timothy 1:15, King James Version "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief." CHRIST JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE SINNERS - This is one of the most glorious truths in the book of God; the most important that ever reached the human ear, or can be entertained by the heart of man. All men are sinners be personal, political or denominational; and as such condemned, justly condemned, to eternal death. Christ Jesus as God became incarnate, suffered, and died to redeem the believed; and, by his grace and Spirit, saves them from their sins. This saying or doctrine is rendered, first, A FAITHFUL or true SAYING; Greek πιστος ὁ λογος, PISTOS HO LOGOS, it is a doctrine that may be credited, without the slightest doubt or hesitation; God himself has spoken it; and the death of Christ and the mission of the Holy Ghost, sealing pardon on the souls of all who believe, have confirmed and established the truth. Secondly, it is WORTHY OF ALL ACCEPTATION; as all need it, it is worthy, precisely valueful, of being received by all. It is designed for the whole human race, for all that are sinners is applicable to all, because all are sinners; and may be received by all, being put within every man's reach, and brought to every man's ear and bosom, either by the letter of the word, or, where that revelation is not yet come, by the power of the Divine Spirit, the true light from Christ that lightens every man that cometh into the world. From this also it is evident that the death of Christ, and all its eternally saving effects, were designed for every man. The Gospel of Jesus Christ does not discriminate any person in regards to race, wealth prestige and fame, recognition. Everyone is going to hell out of his own volition. OF WHOM I AM CHIEF- Greek Ὡν πρωτος ειμι εγω, WHU PROTOS EIMI EGO. Confounding Paul the apostle, in the fullness of his faith and love, with Saul of Tarsus, in his ignorance, unbelief, and persecuting rage, we are in the habit of saying: "This is a hyperbolical expression, arguing the height of the apostle's modesty and humility. It is strictly and literally true: take the whole of the apostle's conduct, previously to his conversion, into consideration, and was there a greater sinner converted to God from the incarnation to his own time? Not one; he was the chief; and, keeping his blasphemy, persecution, and contumely in view, he asserts: Of all that the Lord JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE, and of all that he had saved to that time, I am CHIEF, PRESIDENT, MANAGING DIRECTOR, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHAIRMAN of all sinners. And who, however humble now, and however flagitious before, could have contested the points with him? He was what he has said, and as he has said it. And it is very exact that the apostle Paul refers to those in whom the grace and mercy of God were, at the first promulgation of the Gospel, manifested: and comparing himself with all these he could with propriety say, Greek ὡν πρωτος ειμι, ON PROTOS EIMI, of whom I am the first; the first who, from a blasphemer, persecutor (and might we not add murderer? see the part he took in the martyrdom of Stephen), became a preacher of that Gospel which I had persecuted. And hence, keeping this idea strictly in view, he immediately adds: HOWBEIT, FOR THIS CAUSE I OBTAINED MERCY; THAT IN ME FIRST, Greek πρωτῳ, PROTO, JESUS CHRIST MIGHT SHEW FORTH ALL LONGSUFFERING, FOR A PATTERN TO THEM WHICH SHOULD HEREAFTER, Greek των μελλοντων, TON MELLONTON, BELIEVE ON HIM TO LIFE EVERLASTING, verse 16. And this great display of the pardoning mercy of God, granted in so singular a manner, at the very first promulgation of the Gospel, was most proper to be produced as a pattern for the encouragement of all penitent sinners to the end of time. If Jesus Christ, with whom there can be no respect of persons, saved Saul of Tarsus, no sinner need despair. Jesus Christ can save you from denominations or religions. Jesus Christ can save you from the hands of all false prophets, charlatans. Jesus Christ can save you from politics. Jesus Christ can save you from your own selfishness. Elsewhere, Paul the apostle, not the old Saul of Tarsus, calls himself the least of all saints, Ephesians 3:8. Here he calls himself the CHIEF OF SINNERS, PRESIDENT, MANAGING DIRECTOR, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHAIRMAN. Observe these truths from this: 1. Christ Jesus has come into the world; the prophecies concerning his first coming are now fulfilled. 2. He came to save sinners; He came to save those who could not save and help themselves. Salvation is by faith alone, but many people in the world think salvation is by denominations, trusting in your pastors, political leaders and your money, wealth. The truth is that you cannot save yourself by yourself, and you will know this when you get to hell. 3. Blasphemers and persecutors are the chief of sinners, so Paul reckoned them. 4. The chief of sinners become the chief of saints by salvation for his lost soul in Jesus Christ; so this apostle Paul was, for he was not a bit behind the very chief apostles, 2 Corinthians 11:5, for Jesus Christ came to save the chief of sinners, and use them as chief of servants in his Gospel work. 5. This is a very great truth; it is a faithful saying. These are true and faithful words which must be depended on. 6. It deserves to be received, to be believed by us all, for our comfort and encouragement.
