I detest your religious practices and rituals, even as He detests them. If I were to ask you, "Where did Jesus command all this?" instead of answering to me sincerely, you would begin to burn with great rage. In this is proven that you are no different from the Pharisees.Know this: when anyone faced with cognitive dissonance does not submit themselves to the truth and let it humble them, they prove that they are not of the truth.Do not think that I have authority of my own. A prophet has authority only as far as they are speaking the truth. If I say, "I am a prophet," do not listen to me. But if I speak the truth, even if I never said, "I am a prophet," know that God has spoken to you.With your lips you honor the dead prophet, but seek to silence and put the living prophet to death. Why is this? If there were to rise another like John the Baptist, would you listen? If Jesus were to walk among you and not perform miracles, would you believe? Surely, you would call Him a heretic and condemn Him to hell, just as you people do to me, for this is what you love to do.You serve the second beast, and so naturally, your desire is to please the first, that is, governments, laws, and authority. Tell me: where did He command us to litigate behavior through governments and laws? Surely, you know: the wicked litigate the wicked, and those who are of God are accountable to God alone.
