Jesus

"The Sermon on the Mount is the great turning point in the history of mankind. It is the turning point of humanity from animalism to GOD. But you will stumble over my first sentence: Blessed are the poor in spirit. How could JESUS have said this? The poor in spirit is the opposite of the poor in flesh. The poor in spirit is the foolish, the stupid, the raging, the envious, the fornicator, the miser, the stingy, the cruel, in short, the animal man. JESUS could not set these before us as models. Obviously a pen error. Either Matthew's pen error or the pen error of the one who translated the Gospel from Hebrew into Greek. The original text is known to have been lost. If it is Matthew's mistake, let us wonder how people of that time, especially fishermen like Matthew, could write. After all, they could not always understand JESUS, let alone write down his words accurately from memory. Not even Our Father is accurately described. Let's look at that speech in Luke. Here the introduction reads: Blessed are you who are poor! This seems more correct. The other sayings of JESUS confirm the correctness of Luke's record rather than Matthew's. But how could that spiritual word have got there? Did it just slip out of the pen? Impossible. The word must have appeared in his mind when he was writing, and he did not put it into the sentence correctly. A stone misplaced: it sticks out of the pavement. It must be avoided so as not to trip over it! The pen error could have been made in this way: JESUS must have often repeated his statements, his individual sayings, and Matthew remembered some spiritual word. It is probable that JESUS was speaking of the spiritual man as happy, the spiritual man without possessions, who has no other care on earth than spiritual perfection. So JESUS did not say that the poor in spirit are happy, but this: Blessed are the spririts, the poor. That is, the spiritual people who do not care about money or riches. Besides, the letters of the Bible are not unchanged. The serpent in paradise speaks of gods in the Károli Bible, but only of God in the Luther Bible. The French English Protestant Bibles all mention gods with the lips of the serpent. The Vulgate too. But already the Roman Catholic schools change gods to God. And there is as much difference in meaning as there is between a poor spiritual man and a poor in spirit man."
