In the first Gospel (Evangelion), two seekers ask Jesus about “life”—but get fittingly different answers: - One asks how to gain life (earthly blessings): Jesus says obey the Law’s love command (love God & neighbor) → “Do this and live. (Luke 10:25–28) - Another asks for eternal life (heavenly existence): Jesus says sell everything, give to the poor, follow me → treasure in heaven. (Luke 18:18–24/30) Different questions → different paths. In canonical Luke, both ask about “eternal life,” creating inconsistency—eternal life via Law obedience or selling to give to the poor? The Law promises riches to the obedient (Deut 28), not selling all. Evangelion’s coherence proves it’s more original, avoiding Luke’s awkward harmonisation.
All those who came before me [Jesus] are thieves and robbers (John 10:8) ALL.
Our fight is against the evil god of this world; For our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Eph 6:12) Who is this evil god? "I form light and I create darkness; I make peace and I create evil; I am Yahweh; I do all these things." (Is 45:7) How do we know YHWH is this evil? Because he told us he has blinded humanity (Is 6:9-10), and therefore, is the ‘god of this age/world’ (2 Cor 4:4) and the ‘prince of the power of the air.’ (Eph 2:2). We need to listen to Jesus (Iēsous) when he told the Pharisees that their Father was the devil (Jn 8:44).
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Apostolicon, cf. Romans 6:23) It succinctly captures the Gospel: sin/Law leads to death, but the Father's gift through Jesus is eternal life — no works, no Law required.
