The Blood Redemption (cont.)

This message is from Luke:

“…I am interested in what you received from Luther tonight; as I am supposed to have written the Gospel of Luke, I desire to say a few things in reference to the incorrectness of many things contained in my gospel. As you infer, I am Saint Luke, the writer of the third gospel and a follower of Jesus.

“My gospel was not founded on anything I had personal knowledge of, but upon the writings of others, and traditions which were common knowledge of many Christians at that time. I knew several of the apostles and obtained some of my information from them, as well as from the Christians who were members of the congregations where these apostles preached and expounded the sayings of Jesus.

“In my gospel, as now contained in the Bible, many things have been interpolated. This gospel, as it now exists, is not based on what I wrote, but upon pretended copies of my writings. The persons who made these copies did not follow my writings literally, but added to my texts and gave their own interpretations to what I had written in such a way as to destroy the true meaning of what was intended to be conveyed in my writings.

“There are many truths contained in my gospel, and they are truths of God, but there are also many errors which contradict these truths. For instance, I never wrote that Jesus commanded his disciples to believe that the wine was his blood or the bread his body, and so to eat and drink these things in remembrance of him. How this interpolation could have been made, I do not know; but I will observe that the same things are said in all the four gospels, and so these sayings must have been derived from a common source – and that the minds of those who pretended to copy the gospels.

“I tell you now that this saying – that the blood of Jesus saves from sin – is not true. And if humans depend upon this blood for their salvation, they will never be saved, but will enter the spirit world in all their sins, and will be surprised to learn that Jesus is not waiting to receive them into his arms and carry them to the mansions prepared for the truly redeemed children of God.” Amen
