Humans without the Spirit are not able to see the things revealed by Creator’s Spirit. These things sound foolish and are beyond their understanding, for they must be interpreted in a spiritual manner.
“This very night all of you will stumble on the path and turn away because of what will happen to me. The Sacred Teachings have made it clear, ‘Attack the shepherd and the sheep will scatter.’
He is a tree pole that many will trip over, a wooden pole that will make them stumble.” They stumble because they do not do what Creator’s message requires them to do. This is what was decided ahead of time for all who do not trust his message.
My sacred family members, if I still teach that the cutting of the flesh ceremony is needed, then why am I under attack? If that is what I truly teach, then the story of the cross of the Chosen One would make no one stumble.
So Creator Hears (Simeon) spoke blessing words over them also. He then turned to Bitter Tears (Mary) and spoke softly in her ear. “This child has been chosen for the fall and rising of many in the tribes of Wrestles with Creator (Israel). He will be a sign that will be spoken against,
but because they have no roots, their faith is shallow and does not last. As soon as the message brings them trouble or opposition, they stumble and fall away.
Is he not the wood carver, son of Bitter Tears (Mary) and brother to He Leads the Way (James), He Gives More (Joseph), Strong of Heart (Jude), and He Hears (Simon)? Look, his sisters are also here with us!” And so they were offended and turned their faces away from him.
