Do-it-yourself Crucifixion

I took this photo in Wrocław, but I have no idea what means.

Maybe one of my more theologically astute readers can explain.

    Fascinating art-work… Googling a bit for it I found this:

    And an interesting comment elsewhere:

    Another work is attached to the shady northern wall facing the church, the Do It Yourself Crucifix. Funny, philosophical, or downright blasphemic? Decide for yourselves.

    The Xtian preachers who preach their ‘Good News: I am saved through the blood of Jesus’, they compare to prostitutes selling their wares while standing on street corners.

    Jeremiah 42:5–6, a prime example of contextual abuse by Xtian fraud theologist. The very next verses show that the people were lying to Jeremiah. They never intended to obey remember and keep the oaths sworn by the Avot—they simply wanted Jeremiah to bless their plan to flee to Egypt. Jer. 42:20 exposes the duplicity of this assimilated and intermarried ערב רב. This passage condemns their hypocrisy, both then and Xtians attempting to sell their wares today. It does not affirm blind obedience, as Xtain prostitute propaganda rhetoric proclaims ethical guidance in Jewish tradition. The mussar of Jeremiah 42 instructs this unique mussar instruction, and not ‘Good News’ Xtian propaganda rhetoric. Prophetic mussar applies equally to all generations of the chosen Cohen people, not just limited to a single historic people a long long time past – as Greek static deductive logic declares. Therefore the T’NaCH specifically instructs prophetic mussar, NOT history of events converted into a fossilized dead religion.

    Religious manipulation, as expressed through the Xtian super-sessionist use of Torah, fundamentally denies the Divine T’shuva made by HaShem on Yom Kippur, wherein HaShem rejects replacement theologies of avoda zarah. The Golden Calf simply not limited to a mere golden physical idol; nor to translating the Divine Presence Spirit Name first revealed during the first commandment Sinai revelation! No. The sin of the Golden Calf exposes the Av tuma Yatzir Ha’Rah spirit to replace Moshe Rabbeinu with some other God – in short this Av tuma “sin” defines replacement theology, which the t’shuva every Yom Kippur Jews remember. HaShem annulled his vow to establish the seed of Moshe as the chosen Cohen oath brit people! Both the framers of the new testament and koran worship the sin of the Golden Calf through their Av tuma avoda zarah replacement theologies, despite not actually bowing down to a physical Golden Calf as did the טיפש ערב רב.

    Just like the Judeans pretended to seek God’s will, while concealing their evil intend to go back to Egypt, so too and how much more so Xtian evangelicals who call all others to obey their distorted message of submission to the Greek idea of divine Logos or “crucified salvation.” Their ‘good news’ propaganda aims to convert Jews to worship their Golden Calf, Son of God theology.

    Jeremiah 42:5–6 as a case study of Xtian theological fraud, puts the spotlight right where it belongs: on hypocritical performative piety masquerading as covenantal obedience. Jeremiah 42:5–6 serves as a textbook example of contextual abuse by Xtian theologians; comparable to drunk drivers killing innocent folk on the highways. They extract these verses—“Whether it be good or evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God…”—to promote blind obedience to their rebranded deity, Jesus son of God. Evangelists wield this verse as rhetorical ammunition from the pulpits, demanding unthinking submission to a metaphysical abstraction they call “the Lord,” now fused with Hellenistic Logos theology.

    Thus, far from demonstrating their proclaimed “from the roof tops” covenantal obedience, such preaching unmasks religious manipulation. The very same kind employed by Xtian super-sessionists and Shoah revisionist historians, who claim to speak for “the God of Israel” or physical science, while violently uprooting the Torah oath-brit, together with its demands for national t’shuva and righteous judicial courtroom governance of damages inflicted by Jews upon one another. Shalom stands upon trust. Hence judicial justice which dedicates to restore fair compensation of damages inflicted strives to build shalom among the chosen Cohen people who live within the borders of the Torah Constitutional Republic of 12 Tribes.

    The very next verse of prophetic mussar expose the true context: a false vow. Hence rabbi Yishmael advices to learn T’NaCH through a כלל פרט sh’itta of disciplined learning. The ערב רב, had already decided to flee to Egypt and simply wanted Jeremiah’s rubber stamp. Jeremiah 42:20 explicitly reveals their duplicity.

    The mussar of Jeremiah 42, not about blind faith or passive submission—it instructs a mussar of k’vanna integrity within the Yatzir Ha’Tov of the heart before HaShem. The Navi calls Jews to remember the oaths which the Avot swore to cut a brit alliance concerning the chosen Cohen people and their eternal inheritance to the Promised land.

    If we the living generations commit to maintain from generation to generation (Meaning we commit to educate our children as the key condition of marriage.), and remember the oaths sworn by the Avot, that we in our own turn swear these same oaths from generation to generation. Hence the k’vanna of tefillah דאורייתא/from the Torah – kre’a shma. Both the Avot and the ensuing generations had to put their pants on one leg at a time and sit to take a crap on the toilet. Prophetic mussar does not differentiate the merits of one generation over other generations. All generations of the chosen Cohen people must struggle with the tuma Yatzir Ha’Rah within our hearts.

    Xtian gospel rhetoric, by contrast, perverts this prophetic mussar for introspective teshuva, unto the theatrics of Greek and Roman performative faith. Their theologies misappropriates Torah passages to serve the Av tuma static Greek deductive logic which they employ to promote their ‘good news’ myth of “universal salvation through crucifixion.”

    The cheit ha’egel—the sin of the Golden Calf—not just idolatry in the physical sense. Rather this prophetic mussar warns against spiritual substitution, a betrayal of the Divine Name revealed at Sinai. The ערב רב didn’t say, we do not reject outright the revelation of the Divine Presence Spirit Name; but rather, “this is your אלהים, O Israel, who brought you up from Egypt.” The ערב רב tried to repackage the Divine Presence Spirit Name by inserting some word translation as an intermediary in Moshe’s absence.

    Herein defines the exact model of replacement theology: rebranding the brit with some new god, whether a crucified Christ, or a final prophet Muhammad who preaches strict Monotheism in the name of Allah. The Yatzir Ha’Rah behind the Golden Calf, breathes the same spiritual Av tuma avoda zarah spirit within the hearts of the ערב רב\assimilated and inter-married Jews (who lack fear of heaven). This tuma Yatzir seeks to incite, manipulate or seduce others to worship these new Gods. This central motivation inspires the New Testament and the Koran—both of which claim to replace Moshe, the Oral Torah, and the oath brit — with metaphysical substitutes and narrative fabrications.

    Just as the Judeans in Jeremiah’s time pretended to seek HaShem’s will while plotting to return to Egypt—the symbolic archetype of slavery, judicial injustice, and spiritual corruption—so too the Xtian & Muslim evangelicals, who call others to obey their distorted message of the Greek Logos, the crucified “savior,” and metaphysical obedience over national justice.

    They do not call Israel to make t’shuva, much less so remember prophetic mussar instructions. They call Israel to abandon Sinai. They do not call for brit renewal. They call for the replacement of the brit by a universalized guilt doctrine rooted in Greek fatalism. They do not call for judicial righteousness in the Land—they promote through their ‘good news’ preaching that Jews abandon living in the Promised land and return and become once again slaves in Egypt.

    The Torah concept of “sin” does not institutionalize the Fall and expulsion of Adam from the Garden of Eden.  Rather the Torah concept of “sin” exposes the Av tuma Yatzir Ha’Rah spirit, which seeks – throughout the generations – to replace Moshe Rabbeinu with some replacement new god.  In short, the prototype of both New Testament and Koran replacement theologies. Both the framers of the New Testament and the Koran worship the sin of the Golden Calf through their Av tuma avoda zarah replacement theologies. 

    Replacement theologies always attempt to repackage the Divine Presence Spirit Name by inserting a word translation as an intermediary in Moshe’s absence. Herein defines the precise and exact Av tuma methodology of replacement theologies: rebranding the brit with a new god—whether crucified Christ or final prophet Muhammad. The Yatzir Ha’Rah behind the Golden Calf, the exact same Av tuma spirit within the hearts of the ערב רב—assimilated and inter-married Jews who have no fear of heaven—that inspires the framers of both the New Testament and the Koran counterfeit scriptures. Both texts claim to replace Moshe, the Oral Torah, and the oath brit, with metaphysical substitutes and narrative fabrications.

    Just as the Judeans in Jeremiah’s time pretended to seek HaShem’s will while plotting a return to Egypt—the archetype of slavery, judicial injustice, and spiritual corruption—so too the Xtian and Muslim evangelicals, who urge obedience to their distorted and perverted messages which stand on the foundations of assimilated the Greek Logos … their crucified “savior,” glorified in both New Testament and Koran – their metaphysical obedience which rejects national judicial justice which sanctifies the Will of the Courts to make fair restitution of damages inflicted by Jews on other Jews with the k’vanna to build shalom among the Jewish people within the borders of the Torah Constitutional Republic.

    It’s very important to define Xtian and Muslim rhetoric which declares their love and devotion for the Promised ‘Holy Lands’, that never during any time after the Romans expelled Jews from Judea and renamed the land “Palestine”, not any Xtian nor Arab or Muslim Power ever established a Country in the Middle East called “Palestine”. Neither Jordan nor Egypt – who ruled Samaria and Gaza between 1948 to 1967 made any attempt to establish a Palestinian state. The British and French UNSC 242 which promotes European interests which seek to divide and conquer the Jewish state and calls for Palestinian national independence, clearly 242 shares no common ground with the 1917 Balfour Declaration by which the League of Nations carved up Ottoman Greater Syria and divide that empire as the spoils of war to the British and French empires.

    Maybe Europe is picking up on the US home improvement trend of DIY? Just, you know, in religion first? (Sorry, the sense of humour is a bit shot. I got home last night from hip replacement surgery. On the plus side. my use of expletives has never been more fluent! :D )

    • Congratulations on the new hip!

    • For reasons I cannot fathom, WordPress decided to make me anonymous. And it made me sign up for your blog again. So I have no idea what’s going in. Which, as you very well know for me, is simply par for the course.

      Thanks for your well-wishes. I hope it pays off in the long term, ’cause right now it’s a pain in the butt on multiple levels! :D

    Hey, I’m happy God made me stumble upon your page, and subsequently to this specific post. I have been impressed by the creativity and spiritual depth of this artists work.

    For us Christians, Jesus Christ was killed on the cross to clean all of humanity from its sins. He, as God, became our redeemer, becoming man and therefore carring with all the weight of ouor sins and our sufferings, and defeating death in His resurrection so our bond with the heavenly Father could be renewed to open the doors of heaven once again. I am not an expert on all of Christian theology, but what I can say about this work is that:

    The D-I-Y-Crucifixion firstly invites you, as an individual, to recognize your sins and also your own, individual involvement in the crucifixion of Jesus. Even if you were not physically there, you sin on a daily basis and insult God in many ways, intentionally or unintentionally, which inflicts a lot of suffering on our Lord, because he loves us infinitely and calls us to love him too. So when we reject him in our daily lives, we are symbollically “crucifying him”, because with our attitudes, selfishness and indifference to him, we are equiparable to the Jews of that time period, who had their hearts closed to the Word of God and were so involved in looks and appearances, that weren’t ready to recieve the Messiah (Jesus).

    We are finally called to be more conscious about our attitudes in life and also to be careful so we don’t become arrogant as our ancestors once were, so we can recieve Jesus and his Word in our hearts.
