What could be the possible reasons why Jesus never wrote anything down?

What’s up with the small type, Patrick?

I bet a massive dig all around the area that Pliny referenced would turn up all sorts of interesting things.

Pliny could have been mistaken, of course, about who lived there, getting information second-hand.

You’re correct that Pliny’s information is second-hand because he has some errors in his information.

To the west [of the Dead Sea] the Essenes have put the necessary distance between themselves and the insalubrious shore. They are a people unique of its kind and admirable beyond all others in the whole world, without women and renouncing love entirely, without money, and having for company only palm trees. Owing to the throng of newcomers, this people is daily reborn in equal number; indeed, those whom, wearied by the fluctuations of fortune, life leads to adopt their customs, stream in in great numbers. Thus, unbelirvable though this may seem, for thousands of centuries a people has existed which is eternal yet into which no one is born: so fruitful for them is the repentance which others feel for their past lives! Below the Essenes was the town of Engada [Ein Gedi], which yielded only to Jerusalem in fertility and palm-groves but is today become another ash-heap. From there, one comes to the fortress of Masada, situated on a rock, and itself near the Lake of Asphalt [Dead Sea].

• Natural History 5.73

The confused information here is: (1) Pliny, writing in AD 77, mentions Jerusalem and Ein Gedi as lying in ruins. Which is true, but he seems to describe the settlement of the Essenes in the present tense as if it still existed. Qumran was destroyed in AD 68, so it too would have been in ruins by 77; (2) Pliny confused Jerusalem with Jericho when he described Ein Gedi as second only to ‘Jerusalem’ in the fertility of the land and its palm groves.

Pliny mentioned the Essenes’ settlement as being “below” Ein Gedi, so some people have assumed that it should be sought in the hills above and to the west of Ein Gedi (instead of at Qumran, which is up north). There was a site in the hills overlooking the Ein Gedi oasis which had been identified as the place Pliny was referring to, but the problem with the identification is, it’s not so much a settlement but an agricultural installation consisting of storage cells and irrigation pools.

Qumran basically fits Pliny’s description better because his description of the Dead Sea progresses from north to south, beginning with the Jordan River to the Essenes’ settlement to Ein Gedi and then to Masada, which would mean that Ein Gedi lay downstream from or south of the settlement. Qumran is really the only place in that area which would fit the description. Despite the second-hand nature of the information, I think Pliny’s testimony cannot be discounted.

The only time I can recall in scripture that Jesus ever writes anything down is in the parable of the adulterous women John 8:6

So what could be the possible reasons why Jesus never wrote anything down?

He did not want to mix things. He knew he was going to give his Revelation to Saint John and was going to order him to write it down. And this is must important for all of us, He knew, The Book of Apocalypse or Revelation of Jesus Christ.

May be, why not…
In the love of Christ,
Gloria

My research and spiritual connection shows that there never was a Jesus Christ. It was invented by Constantine when he established the Catholic Church in 325 AD and he is listed in Revelation 13:13-18 as having done so and of being 666. He also took control of finance and trade.

My reincarnation and passage from life to life proves there is no heaven or hell and that the religions have manufactured these as weapons to rope people in and keep them there. Daniel 12:13 states that everyone will be back in their bodies at the end of days and will be judged according to their spirituality. That means the Children of God who are not taken in by the lies, false gods, idols, icons and preaching that opposes the Spirit, will be the only ones to continue on.

This is happening now and explains why there is massive overpopulation.

There is only one God, the Spirit of the Universe (Isaiah 45:4-8). The New Testament was compiled by Jerome at the end of the 4th CAD to support the religion of Constantine which was based on the Islamic religion of Babylon. he was commissioned by the Bishop of Rome, Damasus, to produce the book and organise the church, He took the costumes, instruments, festivals, order of mass and the laws of the church from the Imperial Roman religion and noted this in his diaries and letters.

Matthew contains those laws which were unknown beforehand and possible was written by him. It repeats the story of Chrishna (Krishna) the Christ of the Vedic Trinity. Jerome notes that he compiled the book from the writings around the Empire and that includes the mythologies and works by Greek philosophers.

Constantine was of the Amors (Assyrians), who built Babylon, and also occupied Mari, their next capital. This is the name of the sun-star of Islam and it means 'mother’s powerful eye. In English it is Mary and he instated the personification of the sun as the Mother of God.

Revelation 17:5 calls her the New Babylon and declares that she is the city on which the woman sits. It has 7 hills from the seven colors of the rainbow seen in the sun-star. Roma reversed is Amor and the Amors built this city after Mari was destroyed by earthquake.

People who are of the Spirit speak in tongues and communicate with God and when the prison of their entrapment is removed they will be free to receive their inheritance that was stolen from them by the 2 beasts of Revelation. It was these creatures who built the dark mountains that have brought confusion, wars, pain, suffering and everything else of evil into the world while hiding the truth.

Now they will be done away with because the identity of 666 is known and well publicised on the mountain of God, the Mount Zion, promised in Micah Chapter 4 and delivered by the daughter of Zion, Micah 4:10-13.

Jesus Christ never wrote anything because he never existed. God speaks to its own through tongues and the inner voice that the children of Israel (not the Jews) possess. Unless you have that then you will never hear God speak to you.

The conspiracy of the Romans through the religion of Constantine is declared in Ezekiel 22:25,26 while Ezekiel 39:29 states that the Spirit of God is pouring over the Children of Israel who are God’s chosen. Everyone else will go forever as the world faces horrendous punishment for the evil against them and the Spirit. That includes the lies that have been told in the name of God and supported by those who are too weak to see the truth.

We are at the end of days and those who can see the truth will see it and get their inheritance.That is the restored earth! All the evil will be stripped from it and that includes religion. That is the promise of the Old Testament prophecies given by the real God for its children.

. . . You don’t have to believe these words because you will soon see it for yourself.

They don’t make much sense to me. But, I agree that all will be known. The “soon” concerns me that not all may be well with you. Hoping for good things.
