What the Word Christ means?

WARNING: This page is a draft!! (last modified 2004-09-09)

Indeed I decided to publish it even before I finished it, because this is a very important information. Bear in mind that this is a draft, and do not misunderstand. Please send feedback to porton@ex-code.com.

So, somebody from outside came to the Earth 2000 years ago under the name Jesus. And we need to answer the question what the word Christ means?

Well, there are many texts around here, in Internet, which try to answer the question, who was Christ... But have you noticed that I aroused some subtly different question, What the word Christ means?. Not many ask this way, but we need to answer.

We will start with the question, what has happened that time, 2000 years ago?

Firstly, I will enumerate some of the wide-spread opinions:

In this short article I will not try to prove my opinion, but will just formulate it:

That what happened was not like other historic events, and this was not just contact with aliens, this was something exceedingly much greater, it was contact with God.

Contact with God

Now we have the first of several senses of the word Christ. The word Christ means contact, however not just a contact but contact with God.

When they (apostles) speak in Gospel Christ came, you can translate to the modern language contact (with God) came (not to confuse with the name of this ministry). Christ is contact with God. The main message of Gospel was the contact (with God) has come!

So 2000 years ago we got a contact!

If just an alien would come, this would be a common contact. (Really, many such contact has happened, read in Old Testament about Baals and Asheras, or not read it, that was not the main topic of Old Testament.) Who has come then 2000 years ago? Gospel says The contact has came. Again, who has come, from which constellation he was? He was not from a constellation. He has said I'm not from the Universe. One who came was not from the Universe, that is he was not from a constellation, galaxy, an or N-th dimension etc.

Who has said that, an alien? No, we spoke not with an alien but with contact itself, the global contact which connects everyone in the Universe.

Sometimes, we get a phone speaker and hear a voice, but that is not the voice of a man at that side, but the voice of the phone commutator itself! One who spoke with us was the communicator of the entire Universe Himself.

Bible says that Christ brings all creation together, that He brings these who was far away near making peace.

But now, stop, one more important point: Christ is even not just the contact of the Universe, He is the contact of the Universe with God! (God is not in the Universe.) I again repeat, the contact with God has come!

Christ has said that He is the light of the Universe and He has said that He has come into the Universe, and He is not from the Universe. Even the physicists will confirm that the light has come into the Universe like as from outside! He was one through whom everything have begun to exists, and nothing have begun to exist not through Him. say about the light of Universe both Gospel and modern physics. Our radio connection is not limited by so to say the border of the Universe, the signal of contact we accept has come into Universe as from outside.

Yep, the reader, you may before not know Christ, but now I have told you about Him: He is the contact of the Universe with God, which connects all the Universe. You can think about Him as about the commutator through which we may call God, or as the communicator which communicates everyone, or as about the contact, the global contact of all Universe, the contact of all contacts just like a central phone commutator which connects all commutators in a country...

Contact with whom? Hey, the writer, you spoke about the contact so much, but with whom was the contact? Not with somebody concrete, not with somebody who may be pointed. But with whom? With the one with whom is the contact. For example, if you speak with Catty your contact is with Catty, when you speak with Mike your contact is with Mike. But when you do not speak with Catty, not speak with Mike, your contact is not with Catty, nor with Mike... But we are in the contact with one who is not Catty, not Mike, not an alien from Little Bear, not from the Andromeda, not... Our contact is not with anyone in the Universe, but indeed we are in contact, we are in contact with somebody. Do you believe?

Now the author went mad, you may think, we'd asked him with whom was the contact and he answered With one with whom is the contact... what an answer! Indeed, it is the answer. Our contact is with God, and God is one with who we are in the contact.

Now I will tell you also what the word the God means. The God is one with whom we are in that contact, which is not a contact with somebody in the Universe.

Well, then, God is a hard topic, let's return to studying Christ! Now we can just conclude together, there was a contact but not with anyone we can point in any other way than to say He is one with whom was the contact. Enough for now, let think about the contact itself, even if we cannot comprehend with whom was the contact. Anyway, studying Christ we will gain the knowledge about God.

The Light of the Universe

I've already have said that Jesus Christ has said that He is the light of the Universe. That means that Christ is a living person which consists of light. He consists of all light of the Universe. He is the light of the Universe. Teaching His disciples so to say electromagnetism (not electromagnetism but really a higher order theory), He has said: I'm the light of the Universe, I have come into the World. And the apostle John adds: anything what have begun to exist was has begun to exists through Him, and not anything what have begun to exist has begun to exists without Him.

Huh, reader? That is the one who came to the Earth to speak with people 2000 years ago! That is one who He was! Noted that He is more powerful than anything in the Universe?

So then, returning to the topic of the contact. As Gospel proclaims, the true radio wave has come! (Was the true light) That a good news, we have received a true message. This is the word of God, Gospel says that Christ is the word of God. Now it is simple to understand as we can imagine Christ like a radio wave and He is the message of God.

Again, Christ is the message of God. Imagine all the sounds you've produced during your life, it is your word; and Christ is God's word, all what God says. Christ is living word of God, a living wave of radio and light.

Oh, now one more reason to stop and think: As Christ is all the light if the entire Universe, so every radio translation is some word of God, isn't it? The good answer here isn't simple. But the simple answer is Yes, but we need to know how to decode the signal to understand and not mis-understand, what God means. If we don't know how to understand, we will misunderstand. Read about this below. Anyway, what is some word you hear, a word of a man, or of God depends on how you hear or rather how you understand; if you don't understand (or misunderstand) God, for you it is just a word of man, but if you would understand any saying completely, to the end, then for you it would be a word of God. Anyway, astronomers hearing stars, hear nothing except of some noise, and a signal which we can't understand is like a noise for us.

Well, now enough about radio waves of the Universe which people anyway cannot understand with their own knowledge. Let's now explain who is Christ in simple words which are easy to understand, the message we have received from heaven:

Our Peace

Gospel say, He is our peace. For people is not very hard to imagine this: a global inter-galaxy peace union, the peace union of the entire Universe. Indeed it is amazing. Stop and weep here! Our feelings tend to come to weep when we come to the understanding of that highest authority...

Christ is the peace union of the entire Universe. Moreover, He is the peace with God.

The above does not imply that Christ was established by somebody in the Universe, nor that He would be controlled by anybody in Universe. Just reversely, He existed from the beginning and through Him all have begun to be and is controlled.

What is peace? It is just missing war. If we somehow met with God and do not make war with Him, it is peace with God. Just a meeting with God without a war is Christ. May seems strange: just missing something is so great! People are used to think that only something present may be great, but something missing would not be great. Indeed, Christ is just missing war but it is very great when war is missing, He is great!

Oh, again, how just missing war may be so great? Isn't being at a big distance, a wall between, or even the desire to not contact with each other also a peace? But it is just being missing and not something great... It is not Christ! That things are not the real true peace, but the desire to not speak is a hidden hate, after meeting with aliens from a big distance people would have a war, every wall will some day fall and between the sides would arise a conflict...

The issue here is of stable peace which lives without a separating wall between:

Gospel say about Christ He broke the wall between, making peace.

Christ is our real, true (guarantied) eternal unbreakable peace.

So now you may understand that the real true peace is always great. The war cannot be missing by simple mundane means! TV news say about wars and this they call great news but really a great news would be missing conflict! Now you see, missing war is very great!

BTW, if somebody would say me I'm not in Christ for me what it would mean? By the sense of the word itself, it means for me formally the same as he would say me, I'm at a war with you! Oh, what a man may say me when meets me! And people often wonder why them not in contact with aliens. At every meeting they say, we are at a war with you! Imagine, you'd could come to an African tribe and tried to explain them about peace and war in international relations, and that they understanding not would begin to say, We want just to be in relations with you, but we at a war with you and we will continue the war and never stop!, you'd to say them No! but they'd replied, No, we insist to not agree with the rules of peace! Could you able to be in contact with that tribe? It is exactly what we hear from people which often say, We will not accept Christ, but we want to have good relations with you, be you friends. God, let you keep me free from any friends who make war against me, even if that is a hidden war masked for a peace!

So again, Christ is the peace union of all us. What then He is? Firstly, He is the highest authority. He is my Lord, I follow His commands.

Then, He is our purpose, we strive to reach to raise in Him. (See also below.)

In to say USSR, there was the highest government, the man in charge of the entire Empire. But in Christ there are no highest level, he is infinite. Christ is the only one solution of the dilemma: a state needs the highest authority to not fall into the anarchy (for anarchists: I speak not only about state authorities but also about authority of high reason, esteem, deals) but the highest authority itself always falls into a sin as has no authority over it. But Christ is the authority over every authority, not having a dead end at the highest!

So, Christ is like a state, like a peace organization, but without any deficiency. He is like a tree and has branches, every of us, Christians, is His branch, we are parts of the whole system.

Oh, may ask a reader, you've said that Christ is light, how He can be simultaneously peace? Well, then, what is a peace? Peace is a peace contract! What is a contract? A contract is a word, a message. Christ is light, the word of God, God's message. The light of the Universe which connects all us together is our peace.

Meeting of two Christians means: oh, we have a contract of peace with each other! There are no wall between us... Well, if these are real Christians...

No other peace except of Christ exists! Simple logic: If one is not in Christ, he is in a war. Two different peaces cannot co-exist: if they are different, they are in a war with each other, or otherwise they are not different but both are the parts of the higher peace, where only Christ is the true peace. World's peace unions like NATO, United Nations etc. are kind of fake.

Is 57:19

Wisdom of God

Also Gospel says that (??) He is the wisdom of God. The word of God (Remember, Christ is the Word of God?) is also wisdom of God.

This means just two simple things:

Once more a complex thing from Bible became simple: Christ is the image of God, fullness of godhead. This means just that Christ mirrors all what concerns God, while the concern of God is wisdom! Nothing more, nothing less: Christ is the full wisdom of God, while all what God is is that being wise (In other words, God is being only wise and nothing other (unwise).); that is Christ is the full that which is that being of God.

In every head of man, to say for an example, there are some peace of a wisdom. But is it a real wisdom? When a man exists from the things customary for him, his wisdom becomes a foolishness. A wisdom of a man isn't a wisdom of God! However, we can accept wisdom of God believing in it, then wisdom of God enters into us, and a part of the wisdom of God, that is a part of Christ is inside us!

Again, a part of Christ is in us, believers. Actually, it is not a part, as with Christ God gives us everything. [Write more about this: should I say about Holy Spirit?]

However the wisdom of God is everywhere (Christ is everywhere), not just in people. So, when understood in Christ all is wise and alive (In Him all are alive).

Now we can define God once more: God is the one whose wisdom is Christ. Christ is somebody's wisdom, and one whose wisdom He is is God.

And finally, how the wisdom relates with peace? Just simple: wisdom is internal peace. When neurones are in peace with each other, not at a war, our brain would be more clever than any brain! (Peace of God is above any mind). Satan confused to complete stupidity brains of people into a war inside, but Christ came to save that is to bring peace. And reversely, peace is wisdom of the above level.

About death and resurrection

It is written (??) Christ died once for all. That means that everyone has once withdrawn from the peace with God. This doesn't mean that peace of God ceased to exist or ever became less powerful, but just that everybody else has ceased from life and lost His power, nor that mean that the truth became false but just that everybody was not believing in truth.

Satan started a rebellion against God and the war has broken through the entire Universe. Satan has made a virus (sin) which was enough only to see to become mad and also to begin to also produce viruses.

It was tremendously awful: War everywhere around, no communication, no knowledge of what happens, no hope. We read messages we received by one letter because after we read the next letter it that time may mean death for us because the letter may make us mad. We read the letters and thought: we may also become mad and begin war with God, and from dreadfulness of this though we were becoming mad and beginning the senseless war. Many ceased to read or hear anything at all.

You know that Christ has resurrected. Once we received the message that Christ returned and saves everybody who believes in Him. Peace returned! Communication returned! Understanding of wisdom forgotten in madness returned! All crimes forgiven for everybody who believes! His glory after the resurrection became greater than before the death.

Christ died willingly. His dead was the only way to save everybody of us because before Christ's death everybody served God from selfish ambitions of reward being ready to rebel against Him and being righteous in appearance really did a hidden criminal waiting a chance to begin the rebellion, clearly deserving only the death punishment.

(??) After the resurrection Christ does not die anymore. No one who is now with Him wants to leave Him again.

Christ was on the Earth in appearance of a man. They killed Him. After this some of the killers realized that they have killed the peace on the Earth leaving the mankind without the hope. But at the third day he raised from the tomb. He forgives the sins and accepts into His kingdom anybody who believes in Him.

The Word Jesus

Among all people God has chosen one man of the name Jesus, which is to represent Christ for people.

For a dialog sides need a common language. How to choose the language accordingly which to interpret the radio waves from outer space when there are so many different languages? Languages are so many that one the same word may mean several different things in different languages. We need to come to one common understanding or will be not able to speak.

Many people have the ability to hear cosmic radio waves with their spirit, but without common standard it is just a nonsense.

The understanding of Jesus is chosen to become the common understanding of all. God has made that words of this man were always true, so representing Christ that is the truth.

That is the teaching of Jesus is a certain order of the wisdom of Christ.

Jesus became the standard which all other people are to follow. That is Jesus is like an arrow pointing people to Christ.

When people spoke with Jesus they spoke with Christ. It is the way which God chosen for people to speak with Christ, through Jesus. For example, in a branch of a company only one chief is chosen who will represent the opinion of the company. It is set with the authority that his opinion is the opinion of the company. If one wants to speak with the company, he needs to speak either with the chief himself or with somebody who represents his opinion.

The name of Jesus means the choice of one the best variant common for all, that is the way of Christ, the God's choice. And this word means calling of God, God's phone number so to say.

Jesus continue to live in these who believe God, who directs us to choose the right way continuing the deal of Jesus.

He Took the Form of a Man

To save people, Christ in anything has become like a man except of no mistakes. That is there was no single difference between a man and Christ (except of no mistakes). He transformed Himself to be in form almost the same as the brothers, and the only difference which makes this almost instead of exact was no mistakes.

Everybody of us is only almost a man: a man have two hands, while some of us lost one hand, we have mutations and other deficiencies which make us only almost people. But Christ became a perfect man, a man more than everybody else, having no deficiencies.

His suffering on the cross was real. You've read above that His death was real death. His suffering was real suffering of a man as He was a man. It can be understand this way: They attacking Christ was so offensive that the offense was the same as pain, the real pain.

In other words, having enough power to resist any weapon, He allowed the killers to destroy Him. If you'd play a computer game, the imaginary persons of that game can't really harm you. But if you'd compassion to suffering robots so much that your heart would become ill, you'd have real suffering for them.

Everybody of us is His killer, the provoker of the Universe war. If for example I would do my deals without any dishonesty etc., I would stop the war and turned it back (as He did by His perfect life in human body). Instead I (as everybody else except of Him) spreaded the war further. It is I who has killed Him, the killer of peace in all the Universe. Yes, without my help to Devil the war would be impossible. Devil is unable to make war without help of everybody.

Son of God

Christ goes to His Father. But He does not move. He is like a river: a river moves and does not move at the same time, in the same way Christ goes to His Father, but Christ does not move.

It is only an illusion that light moves. Really, light does not move, but we move and so for us it looks like as if light would move.

But after the eternity of eternities will pass, Christ will come to the Father and become the same as Father. When a child grows to the full age, he becomes the same as his father. Christ is the Son of God.

When we grow, we become greater, but Christ is already perfect. Every grow of life is a part of grow of Christ. Christ is life. Every life is a part of Christ. Being truly living is the same as to be a part of Christ, that is of eternal life. It is a characteristic of life to be eternal that is to grow infinitely, infinite grow is the difference of living things from dead. That which does not grow eternally but stops at some stage is not life (however it may be similar to life).

The only way to live is to have Christ inside yourself. And it is not I who live, but Christ lives in me. That is I'm only a dead cover of the life inside me that is of Christ.

Our life is life of Christ inside us. My own life (without Christ) does not matter just because I do not have life besides Christ.

Imagine that you are very old so that you are almost dead. And then you'd receive an injection of embrional cells (a life sacrificed for you). Then the embrional cells would begin to live in you and this would become your life, so that you continue to live. Accept the sacrifice of Christ for you and His life inside you the same way, His blood being the only medicine able to safe you from death.

This means that you are to deny your old life for the new life of Christ inside you to replace it.

So rejecting old forms of life and allowing Christ to replace it with new life, we live and grow infinitely. We are children of God, that is Christ is born and grows inside us.

Christ is also our purpose, that is our sense of life is to become more similar to Him, throwing away our old covers that is our old self.

Christ is the Son of God, we are children of God only in that sense that He lives in us causing our infinite grow.

I entreat you: Now welcome Christ to live inside you, accepting His sacrifice for your sins. I've told you that He died instead of you for your sin, you the killer of peace and wisdom! (Remember your concrete failures?)

Oneness in knowledge of the Son of God

The following passage...

(Eph. 4:13-15) 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth (by waves) and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error; 15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ

... suggests that at the full stature of Christ there are no waves, electromagnetic waves are only of the lower levels of Christ. At the upper levels there is speaking truth in love what is the essence of the nature of Christ. The scientific teaching about electromagnetic waves is considered as a crafty trickery of men, wiles of error (compared with exceedingly more exact and full biblical truth), as human's science is only partial knowledge not the full one.

So, we are to attain the full knowledge of the Son of God where Christ as light and Christ as truth unite in one faith about the same Christ.

When we are starting to live in Christ we are becoming radio-controlled robots as Christ is light (radio-waves). But as we grow to maturity, we instead become controlled by truth and love.
