The irony is that many of the most destructive aspects of this system are considered benign, even as the negative growth financial system is considered as benign by those who profit from the looting of the nations. It should be noted at this point that all these system are representative of other types of such systems that are much more deeply hidden and are often benign in appearance, thus a precise structure of scientific approach is needed to deal with these hidden features of destructive erroneous concepts for scientific Christian healing.
Christ Jesus's alert reactions to negative growth systems.
Christ Jesus' most famous reaction may be seen as his dramatic overthrowing of the tables of the money changers on the temple grounds. In scientific terms, this was actually the most insignificant of his many alerts against negative growth systems. These alerts are significant to understand, in order to understand the platform for scientific Christian healing.
One of his earliest documented reaction was specifically directed to alert himself. We are told about three temptations that he encountered during and immediately after his forty day retreat into the dessert that preceded the beginning of his public career. The first temptation was centered on an 'enlightenment' oriented system. The tempting 'voice' informed him that he had power to turn the stones of the dessert into bread to still his hunger. As it was, he reacted with the realization that "man shall not live by bread alone."*(Matthew 4:1-11) Had he fallen for the logic of the imposing mentality, his career would have ended before it even began. Instead, it became the greatest career of demonstrating the power of the human intellect to develop the resources for sustaining human existence in total independence of the supposedly necessary material support systems. His healing demonstrations lifted the image of man above its supposed dependence on 'the dust of the ground.' He pioneered a demonstration that has to some respect come true today, for mankind has grown in population density through technological development, to a level that is five thousand times greater than the population density that the earth by its own primitive resources could support in a zero technology environment.
The second negative growth system that he challenged in the dessert was the elitist ideology system, of which personal fame is a subsystem. He was instructed by the tempting 'voice' to cast himself from the pinnacle of the temple and make a big show of it by which to gain recognition. This too, would have destroyed his career which was totally centered on the universality of the truth and the universal capability of man to discover fundamental principles and apply them for the maintenance of life and the advance of civilization. Had he set himself up as a guru spectacle he would have closed the door to the essential aspect of his work of demonstrating the scientific capability of man, and so decapitated the future of mankind. Instead, he worked in the opposite direction. At one point he sent out seventy people into the surrounding area to perform the same healing work that he had demonstrated himself, illustrating thereby the universality of the power of the human intellect.
The third negative growth system that he challenged at the very outset of his career was the system of oligarchic ideology, which the oligarchy lives for, which the lives of whole nations are sacrificed for. He was offered by the tempting 'voice' all the kingdoms of the world in exchange of satanic worship, the same worship of wealth that has grown by leaps and bounds in modern times. Had he accepted, this too, would have closed the door on his healing mission and on his grandest achievement that interlocked life on this planet with infinity, and set up the authority for human development, morally, scientifically, technologically, economically, and socially, without which civilization disintegrates into meaningless primitivism, barbarism, and poverty bound slavery. His healing work was in support of human life in the context of individual cases where disease had challenged the existence of individuals, but through these examples he also set up the stage for the healing of the nations by drawing into focus the effects of defective systems which are dangerous and destructive to life and the structures that support life in an advancing civilization.
