   “Hereby perceive we the loveof God, because he laid down his life for us:   
   and we ought to lay downour lives for the brethren.” (1Jn 3:16)   
      
   “Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might   
   take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have   
   power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment   
   have I received of my Father.” (Joh 10:17-18)   
      
   While Jesus laid down his life for the sins of mankind, he did not use the   
   option given him by his Father to pick it back up, rather he waited until his   
   Father was satisfied that he had paid for every last sinner and then some,   
   and His Father resurrected him.   
      
   We've been over this countless times, and you have yet to allow the truth of   
   God as written in the above scriptures to permeate your being.   
      
   What you do by erring so badly, is to totally negate the salvation of man   
   through Jesus the Messiah, by claiming he did not die, therefore since only   
   God can forgive us of our sins, you state his death was that of worthless man   
   you thereby render his Gospel message null and void, that the kingdom of God   
   as described by Jesus is fraudulent and therefore Judaism is the only correct   
   religion to follow as it was established by God.   
      
   Therefore your entire cult from its inception has been false and is just   
   another wannabe cult. So you may as well formulate your brand of JJ's   
   kool-aid and all have one last celebration as there is no future for any of   
   you, including your brand of the 144K   
      
   You want reasoning? You just got it.
