10 " " "

11 " " "

12 " " " - 4 oz. lemon juice.

1 - 4 oz. olive oil - 4 oz. lemon juice.

Drink it right down if you can. I usually eat a

craker right after.

Can repeat process in 1 month, or 3 months or

whenever desired or needed.

..............

Third method.

Many people have spoken to have gall stones, (JW

Also possible kidney stones.) on top of their other

problems. Here is what a top American nutrtionist told

me to do about this, simple and easily without surgery.

My whole family have done this successfully.

Drink a quart of apple juce daily for five days, This

will soften up the stones to such an extent that you

can squash them in your fingers.

On the sixth day, skip dinner and at 6 p.m take a

tablespoon full of epsom salts with water. Repeat at

8 p.m. At 10 p.m. make a cocktail of four ounces of

olive oil and four ounces of fresh squeezed lemon

juice. shake vigorously and drink right down. In the

morning yhou will pass green stones varing from the

size of grains of sand to some as large as your

thumbnail. You won't feel a thing, but will be amazed

at the results. Thousands have done this instead major

of major surgery.

In closing I would like to say that my heart goes out

to you . I don't know you but I know what you are going

through. Thousands are going through the same

experience.

I'll probably offend some of my friend in reposting

this information. I know Coke contains 6 of more

teaspoonfulls of sugar and will raise your sugar level

but this is from a friend who I trust. It may still

be a hoax but I've never tested it personally.

Hello John,

The fastest way to get rid of kidney stones

is to drink a 6 pack of Coke Classic in 20

minutes - or as much as you can to fill your

bladder.

Kidney stones are uric acid based. Coke

is very acidic - and acid dissolves acid. I

helped a buddy in extreme pain - could

barely u-inate for 3 days. It quickly

knocked the painful shards off and the stones

passed within a few hours. He was ur-nating

in about a half hour. My friend did not know

exactly when they passed because they

dissolved so completely he did not feel them

pass. I learned this about 10 years ago from

a chiropractor and naturopath - 2 different

persons. Coke is one of the many causes of

kidney stones, but in an emergency, serves in a

medicinal capacity.

This talks about the linage of Joseph and Mary.

.....................................................

.....................................................

Upon her return, Mary went to visit her parents,

Joachim and Hannah. Her two brothers and two sisters,

as well as her parents, were always very skeptical

about the d-vine mission of Je--s, though, of course,

at this time they knew nothing of the Gabriel

visitation. But Mary did confide to her sister Salome

that she thought her son was destined to become a great

teacher.

Gabriel's announcement to Mary was made the day

following the conception of Jes-- and was the only

event of supernatural occurrence connected with her

entire experience of carrying and bearing the child of

promise.

"4. JOSEPH'S DREAM"

Joseph did not become reconciled to the idea that

Mary was to become the mother of an extraordinary child

until after he had experienced a very impressive dream.

In this dream a brilliant c-lestial messenger appeared

to him and, among other things, said: "Joseph, I appear

by command of Him who now reigns on high, and I am

directed to instruct you concerning the son whom Mary

shall bear, and who shall become a great light in the

world. In him will be life, and his life shall become

the light of mankind.

He shall first come to his own people, but they will

hardly receive him; but to as many as shall receive him

to them will he reveal that they are the children of

G-d." After this experience Joseph never again wholly

doubted Mary's story of Gabriel's visit and of the

promise that the unborn child was to become a di-ine

messenger to the world.

In all these visitations nothing was said about the

house of David. Nothing was ever intimated about --sus'

becoming a "deliverer of the J-ws," not even that he

was to be the long-expected M-ssiah.

J--us was not such a Me-siah as the Je-s had

anticipated, but he was the `world's deliverer.' His

mission was to all r-ces and peoples, not to any one

group.

Joseph was not of the line of King David. Mary had

more of the Davidic ancestry than Joseph. True, Joseph

did go to the City of David, Bethlehem, to be

registered for the Roman census, but that was because,

six generations previously, Joseph's paternal ancestor

of that generation, being an orphan, was adopted by one

Zadoc, who was a direct descendant of David; hence was

Joseph also accounted as of the "house of David."

Most of the so-called Messianic prophecies of the Old

Testament were made to apply to J--us long after his

life had been lived on earth.

For centuries the H-brew prophets had proclaimed the

coming of a deliverer, and these promises had been

construed by successive generations as referring to a

new J-wish ruler who would sit upon the throne of David

and, by the reputed miraculous methods

Page 1348

of Moses, proceed to establish the -ews in Palestine as

a powerful nation, free from all foreign domination.

Again, many figurative passages found throughout the

Heb-ew scriptures were subsequently misapplied to the

life mission of Je--s.

Many Old Testament sayings were so distorted as to

appear to fit some episode of the Master's earth life.

Jes--s himself onetime publicly denied any connection

with the royal house of David. Even the passage, "a

maiden shall bear a son," was made to read, "a virgin

shall bear a son." This was also true of the many

genealogies of both Joseph and Mary which were

constructed subsequent to Michael's career on earth.

Many of these lineages contain much of the Master's

ancestry, but on the whole they are not genuine and may

not be depended upon as factual. The early followers of

Jes-- all too often succumbed to the temptation to make

all the olden prophetic utterances appear to find

fulfillment in the life of their Lord and Master.

"5. JESUS' EARTH PARENTS"

Joseph was a mild-mannered man, extremely

conscientious, and in every way faithful to the

re-igious conventions and practices of his people. He

talked little but thought much.

The sorry plight of the J-wish people caused Joseph

much sadness. As a youth, among his eight brothers and

sisters, he had been more cheerful, but in the earlier

years of married life (during Je--s' childhood) he was

subject to periods of mild sp-ritual discouragement.

These temperamental manifestations were greatly

improved just before his untimely d-ath and after the

economic condition of his family had been enhanced by

his advancement from the rank of carpenter to the role

of a prosperous contractor.

Mary's temperament was quite opposite to that of her

husband. She was usually cheerful, was very rarely

downcast, and possessed an ever-sunny disposition. Mary

indulged in free and frequent expression of her

emotional feelings and was never observed to be

sorrowful until after the sudden death of Joseph. And

she had hardly recovered from this shock when she had

thrust upon her the anxieties and questionings aroused

by the extraordinary career of her eldest son, which

was so rapidly unfolding before her astonished gaze.

But throughout all this unusual experience Mary was

composed, courageous, and fairly wise in her

relationship with her strange and little-understood

first-born son and his surviving brothers and sisters.

--sus derived much of his unusual gentleness and

marvelous sympathetic understanding of human nature

from his father; he inherited his gift as a great

teacher and his tremendous capacity for righteous

indignation from his mother. In emotional reactions to

his adult-life environment, J--us was at one time like

his father, meditative and worshipful, sometimes

characterized by apparent sadness; but more often he

drove forward in the manner of his mother's optimistic

and determined disposition. All in all, Mary's

temperament tended to dominate the career of the

div-ne Son as he grew up and swung into the momentous

strides of his adult life. In some particulars Je--s

was a blending of his parents' traits; in other

respects he exhibited the traits of one in contrast

with those of the other.

From Joseph J--us secured his strict training in the

usages of the Je-ish ceremonials and his unusual

acquaintance with the He-rew scriptures; from Mary he

derived a broader viewpoint of rel-gious life and a

more liberal concept of personal spiri-ual freedom.

Page 1349

The families of both Joseph and Mary were well

educated for their time. Joseph and Mary were educated

far above the average for their day and station in

life. He was a thinker; she was a planner, expert in

adaptation and practical in immediate execution. Joseph

was a black-eyed brunet. Mary, a brown-eyed well-nigh

blond type.

Had Joseph lived, he undoubtedly would have become a

firm believer in the divi-e mission of his eldest son.

Mary alternated between believing and doubting, being

greatly influenced by the position taken by her other

children and by her friends and relatives, but always

was she steadied in her final attitude by the memory of

Gabriel's appearance to her immediately after the child

was conceived.

Mary was an expert weaver and more than averagely

skilled in most of the household arts of that day; she

was a good housekeeper and a superior homemaker. Both

Joseph and Mary were good teachers, and they saw to it

that their children were well versed in the learning of

that day.

When Joseph was a young man, he was employed by

Mary's father in the work of building an addition to

his house, and it was when Mary brought Joseph a cup of

water, during a noontime meal, that the courtship of

the pair who were destined to become the parents of

J--sus really began.

Joseph and Mary were married, in accordance with

Je-ish custom, at Mary's home in the environs of

Nazareth when Joseph was twenty-one years old. This

marriage concluded a normal courtship of almost two

years' duration. Shortly thereafter they moved into

their new home in Nazareth, which had been built by

Joseph with the assistance of two of his brothers. The

house was located near the foot of the near-by elevated

land which so charmingly overlooked the surrounding

countryside. In this home, especially prepared, these

young and expectant parents had thought to welcome the

child of promise, little realizing that this momentous

event of a universe was to transpire while they would

be absent from home in Bethlehem of Judea.

The larger part of Joseph's family became believers

in the teachings of Jes--, but very few of Mary's

people ever believed in him until after he departed

from this world. Joseph leaned more toward the

spi-itual concept of the expected Mess-ah, but Mary and

her family, especially her father, held to the idea of

the Messi-h as a temporal deliverer and p-litical

ruler. Mary's ancestors had been prominently identified

with the Maccabean activities of the then but recent

times.

Joseph held vigorously to the Eastern, or Babylonian,

views of the J-wish relig-on; Mary leaned strongly

toward the more liberal and broader Western, or

Hellenistic, interpretation of the law and the

prophets.

Here they mention the birth of the nice person.

.......................................................

"6. THE HOME AT NAZARETH"

The home of Je--s was not far from the high hill in

the northerly part of Nazareth, some distance from the

village spring, which was in the eastern section of the

town. Jes--' family dwelt in the outskirts of the city,

and this made it all the easier for him subsequently to

enjoy frequent strolls in the country and to make trips

up to the top of this near-by highland, the highest of

all the hills of southern Galilee save the Mount Tabor

range to the east and the hill of Nain,

Page 1350

which was about the same height. Their home was located

a little to the south and east of the southern

promontory of this hill and about midway between the

base of this elevation and the road leading out of

Nazareth toward Cana. Aside from climbing the hill,

--sus' favorite stroll was to follow a narrow trail

winding about the base of the hill in a northeasterly

direction to a point where it joined the road to

Sepphoris.

The home of Joseph and Mary was a one-room stone

structure with a flat roof and an adjoining building

for housing the animals. The furniture consisted of a

low stone table, earthenware and stone dishes and pots,

a loom, a lampstand, several small stools, and mats for

sleeping on the stone floor. In the back yard, near the

animal annex, was the shelter which covered the oven

and the mill for grinding grain. It required two

persons to operate this type of mill, one to grind and

another to feed the grain. As a small boy J--us often

fed grain to this mill while his mother turned the

grinder.

In later years, as the family grew in size, they

would all squat about the enlarged stone table to enjoy

their meals, helping themselves from a common dish, or

pot, of food. During the winter, at the evening meal

the table would be lighted by a small, flat clay lamp,

which was filled with olive oil. After the birth of

Martha, Joseph built an addition to this house, a large

room, which was used as a carpenter shop during the day

and as a sleeping room at night.

"7. THE TRIP TO BETHLEHEM"

In the month of March, 8 B.C. (the month Joseph and

Mary were married), Caesar Augustus decreed that all

inhabitants of the Roman Empire should be numbered,

that a census should be made which could be used for

effecting better taxation. The J-ws had always been

greatly pr-judiced against any attempt to "number the

people," and this, in connection with the serious

domestic difficulties of Herod, King of Judea, had

conspired to cause the postponement of the taking of

this census in the -ewish kingdom for one year.

Throughout all the Roman Empire this census was

registered in the year 8 B.C., except in the

Palestinian kingdom of Herod, where it was taken in

7 B.C., one year later.

It was not necessary that Mary should go to Bethlehem

for enrollment Joseph was authorized to register for

his family but Mary, being an adventurous and

aggressive person, insisted on accompanying him.

She feared being left alone lest the child be born

while Joseph was away, and again, Bethlehem being not

far from the City of Judah, Mary foresaw a possible

pleasurable visit with her kinswoman Elizabeth.

Joseph virtually forbade Mary to accompany him, but

it was of no avail; when the food was packed for the

trip of three or four days, she prepared double rations

and made ready for the journey. But before they

actually set forth, Joseph was reconciled to Mary's

going along, and they cheerfully departed from Nazareth

at the break of day.

Joseph and Mary were poor, and since they had only

one beast of burden, Mary, being large with child, rode

on the animal with the provisions while Joseph walked,

leading the beast. The building and furnishing of a

home had been a great drain on Joseph since he had also

to contribute to the support of his parents, as his

father had been recently disabled. And so this Je-ish

couple went forth from their humble home early on

the morning of August 18, 7 B.C., on their journey to

Bethlehem.

Page 1351

Their first day of travel carried them around the

foothills of Mount Gilboa, where they camped for the

night by the river Jordan and engaged in many

speculations as to what sort of a son would be born to

them, Joseph adhering to the concept of a s-iritual

teacher and Mary holding to the idea of a Je-ish

M-ssiah, a deliverer of the Hebrew nation.

Bright and early the morning of August 19, Joseph and

Mary were again on their way. They partook of their

noontide meal at the foot of Mount Sartaba, overlooking

the Jordan valley, and journeyed on, making Jericho for

the night, where they stopped at an inn on the highway

in the outskirts of the city. Following the evening

meal and after much discussion concerning the

oppressiveness of Roman rule, Herod, the census

enrollment, and the comparative influence of Jerusalem

and Alexandria as centers of J-wish learning and

culture, the Nazareth travelers retired for the night's

rest. Early in the morning of August 20 they resumed

their journey, reaching Jerusalem before noon, visiting

the temple, and going on to their destination, arriving

at Bethlehem in midafternoon.

The inn was overcrowded, and Joseph accordingly

sought lodgings with distant relatives, but every room

in Bethlehem was filled to overflowing. On returning to

the courtyard of the inn, he was informed that the

caravan stables, hewn out of the side of the rock and

situated just below the inn, had been cleared of

animals and cleaned up for the reception of lodgers.

Leaving the donkey in the courtyard, Joseph shouldered

their bags of clothing and provisions and with Mary

descended the stone steps to their lodgings below. They

found themselves located in what had been a grain

storage room to the front of the stalls and mangers.

Tent curtains had been hung, and they counted

themselves fortunate to have such comfortable quarters.

Joseph had thought to go out at once and enroll, but

Mary was weary; she was considerably distressed and

besought him to remain by her side, which he did.

"8. THE BIRTH OF JES--"

All that night Mary was restless so that neither of

them slept much. By the break of day the pangs of

childbirth were well in evidence, and at noon, August

21, 7 B.C., with the help and kind ministrations of

women fellow travelers, Mary was delivered of a male

child.

Je--s of Nazareth was born into the world, was

wrapped in the clothes which Mary had brought along for

such a possible contingency, and laid in a near-by

manger.

In just the same manner as all babies before that day

and since have come into the world, the promised child

was born; and on the eighth day, according to the

J-wish practice, he was circumcised and formally named

Joshua (J--us).

The next day after the birth of Je--s, Joseph made

his enrollment. Meeting a man they had talked with two

nights previously at Jericho, Joseph was taken by him

to a well-to-do friend who had a room at the inn, and

who said he would gladly exchange quarters with the

Nazareth couple. That afternoon they moved up to the

inn, where they lived for almost three weeks until they

found lodgings in the home of a distant relative of

Joseph.

The second day after the birth of Jes--, Mary sent

word to Elizabeth that her child had come and received

word in return inviting Joseph up to Jerusalem to talk

over all their affairs with Zacharias.

The following week Joseph went to Jerusalem to confer

with Zacharias. Both Zacharias and Elizabeth had become

possessed with the sincere conviction that --sus was

indeed to become the Je-ish

Page 1352

deliverer, the Mes-iah, and that their son John was to

be his chief of aides, his right-hand man of destiny.

And since Mary held these same ideas, it was not

difficult to prevail upon Joseph to remain in

Bethlehem, the City of David, so that Jes-- might grow

up to become the successor of David on the throne of

all Israel. Accordingly, they remained in Bethlehem

more than a year, Joseph meantime working some at his

carpenter's trade.

At the noontide birth of Je--s the seraphim of

Urantia, assembled under their directors, did sing

anthems of glory over the Bethlehem manger, but these

utterances of praise were not heard by human ears. No

shepherds nor any other mortal creatures came to pay

homage to the babe of Bethlehem until the day of the

arrival of certain priests from Ur, who were sent down

from Jerusalem by Zacharias.

These priests from Mesopotamia had been told sometime

before by a strange r-ligious teacher of their country

that he had had a dream in which he was informed that

"the light of life" was about to appear on earth as a

babe and among the -ews. And thither went these three

teachers looking for this "light of life." After many

weeks of futile search in Jerusalem, they were about to

return to Ur when Zacharias met them and disclosed his

belief that J--us was the object of their quest and

sent them on to Bethlehem, where they found the babe

and left their gifts with Mary, his earth mother. The

babe was almost three weeks old at the time of their

visit.

These wise men saw no star to guide them to

Bethlehem. The beautiful legend of the star of

Bethlehem originated in this way: Je--s was born August

21 at noon, 7 B.C. On May 29, 7 B.C., there occurred an

extraordinary conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the

constellation of Pisces. And it is a remarkable

astronomic fact that similar conjunctions occurred on

September 29 and December 5 of the same year. Upon the

basis of these extraordinary but wholly natural events

the well-meaning zealots of the succeeding generation

constructed the appealing legend of the star of

Bethlehem and the adoring Magi led thereby to the

manger, where they beheld and worshiped the newborn

babe. Oriental and near-Oriental minds delight in fairy

stories, and they are continually spinning such

beautiful myths about the lives of their re-igious

leaders and p-litical heroes. In the absence of

printing, when most human knowledge was passed by word

of mouth from one generation to another, it was very

easy for myths to become traditions and for traditions

eventually to become accepted as facts.

(JW Please don't be surprised if you find out that

the Star of Bethlehem was not an actual star but is

and was an alien spacecraft.)
