I will but offer one or two specimens of the more serious and fundamental contradictions in the _olla podrida_ of teaching assigned to Jesus. The teaching of the alleged founder of Christianity in the Gospel according to Matthew (ch. xix. 12), is that of the Saboi, the self-mutilators, who are still extant as the Russian Skoptsi[27] and who emasculate themselves to save their spermatic souls, as Origen is reputed to have done. Jesus is made to say, “_There are Eunuchs which made themselves Eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake_. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.” And then in the opening verses of the very next chapter, the same teacher says, “_Suffer little children and forbid them not, to come unto me; for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven_.” But those who became Eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake could not be suffering the little children to come unto him or to them. They would be forbidding them to come at all. If the Kingdom of Heaven be _such_ as the children of Eunuchs it must be non-extant. As Hood’s deaf shopman said of the crackers going off, there were so many reports he did not know _which_ to believe. ----- Footnote 27: Of whom there are large colonies along the Black Sea and the coast of Imeretia and Poti. ----- And where is the sense of talking so much nonsense about the “Golden Rule” or the Divine humanity on behalf of one who carried on the blindest warfare against human nature itself? Who declared that “_If any man come to me and hate not his father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple_” (Luke xiv. 26). And who promised that every follower of his who “_left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the Kingdom of God’s sake should receive manifold more in the present and in the world to come life everlasting_.” Well may the grateful Musselman cry in his adorations, “_Thank God_ OUR _Father has no Son!_” But, I do not charge these contradictory sayings and teachings to any personal character. The collectors are but making use of the _Kurios_, the Lord of the pre-Christian Mythos, the mystical Christ of the Gnostics, as a puppet to represent them and their divers doctrines. They make the human image of a God of Love to be the preacher of everlasting punishment, and the bearer of a fan with which he fans the fires of hell; a false foreteller of that which never came to pass, and the forerunner of a fulfilment which did not follow. In short, they make this Marionette Messiah dance to any particular tune they play. Jesus is posed as the original revealer of a father in Heaven, whereas the doctrine of the Divine Fatherhood was taught in three different Egyptian Cults during some four thousand years previously.
