An Interview With Jesus in 2007

What do you think of the war in Iraq?

Jesus: I don't like it when any person dies and especially innocent civilians. The place is a mess, and the whole occupation is a mess. Iraq is simply a portrait of how this world is at the moment in morality. Men always have hidden motives and agendas and with your modern technology and the Internet and book publishing truth has an ability to get out. I taught to love your enemies and turn the other cheek.

Is the church a major let down for you?

Jesus: The church has a lot more power then what they use. In each generation since Adam there has been people that are sold out to God. The state of the church has moved a long way away from my commands and the way I taught in the Sermon on the Mount. Few Christians live lives that are set apart and holy unto me. Yet in every generation I have a remnant that is loyal to me. Today some of the largest voices in the church have TV ministries and teach a lot of error and idolatry.

Few people understand love, my sort of love and if they did understand that sort of love the world wouldn't be starving and there would be no homeless on the streets of your cities as good Christian folk would have taken them in.

What is a false prophet?

Jesus: A man whose ministry does not bring his audience closer to me but whose teachings may teach his audience to try and serve the world and God at the same time. Many big names are among these, many highly respected Christian leaders in the West. Many of them have expensive suits. In these days people do not want to serve Me they want me as an optional extra and false prophets promote this sort of lifestyle as do false teachers. They like to tickle itching ears.

Do you weep for what modern Christianity has become?

Jesus: I weep for the lost in my churches. I weep for the people that do not know me. I weep for the people who do not get to walk and talk to me. I weep for the people who have other "loves" in their lives besides me. I weep for those who once had their hand on the plough have turned back when things got to tough. I weep for my true prophets who weep as they are not heard in the city streets. I weep for those that continue to sin and which I will have to say depart from me I never knew you.

I weep for a world that I died for and the organized religion that the Christian faith has become and that the faith in the West is full of spiritual babies that only want to prosper financially and care little about saving the lost. I weep that the church has lost its zeal and that only in the third world is my church growing among the poor who have nothing else but Me.

What would you suggest the reader do?

Jesus: Read the Word of God with half an hour of prayer beforehand and let the Holy Spirit be your Teacher. Get out of the books and into the Bible. Obey the commands in the Bible. Do what the Bible says to do and don't do what it says for you not to do.

And forgive. So many Christians risk their blessings and prayers being answered because of unforgiveness.

Are you coming soon?

Jesus: A farmer knows how to read the sky and tell what the weather is going to do so too you should be able to read the signs of the times.
