Jesus Destroys All of His Writings
  • Summary

    People have a propensity to venerate objects. Jesus’ teachings are meant to be lived. Jesus did not want his writings, his picture, or even himself to be worshiped. Instead, he poured out his Spirit of Truth after his death in the flesh to be always present spiritually.

    Advised by Immanuel and Gabriel before his bestowal, Jesus knew he could not leave any physical artifacts or writings behind to prevent idolatry and the rise of a material-focused religion. He deliberately destroyed all his writings that were in his childhood home in February of 26 CE, including inscribed commandments, to emphasize spiritual faith over material objects, a decision that puzzled his family and his first six apostles but aimed to safeguard against idolatry following his departure.

  • Pre-Bestowal Guidance

    Before Jesus incarnated on earth, he was advised by his two spiritual brothers, Immanuel and Gabriel, to avoid leaving behind writings, drawings, his image, or any personal objects that could become potentially idolatrous. These could become the focus of an untrue belief or a nonprogressive religion based on a physical object. Searching for a holy grail, the cup Jesus used at the Last Supper, or other object of worship and worthy of fighting over is entertaining fiction but would not foster a progressive spiritual faith.

  • Jesus Leaves No Writing Behind

    Jesus spent forty days in the wilderness following his baptism to decide how he should live his life on earth to benefit humanity and his universe, making pivotal decisions for his future actions. The first thing Jesus did was to go over in his mind the instructions of Immanuel, which also included Gabriel’s input. One of the things he recalled was the advice instructing him not to leave any lasting written records on the planet.

    On his next visit to Nazareth, in February, 26 CE, Jesus destroyed anything he wrote upon throughout the house and carpenter shop. His brother Joseph was sad to see the boards with writing taken down from the walls, such as the Ten Commandments in Greek, and other mottos and sayings. His first six chosen apostles witnessed Jesus destroying every vestige remaining in his boyhood home, and little understood why their new-found teacher would be concerned about such remnants. Destroying his early writings and never again writing on anything but dust or sand made a deep impression on the apostles’ minds. However, They simply could not comprehend the reason behind his actions.
