“In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with Θεός, and Θεός was the Logos.”
– John 1:1 (Belem-2025 Bible translation)
The Blame is on the Sheep
A fundamental declaration about responsibilities and choices, about walking toward or against the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Dear sister Sheep,
For a long time, we believed that responsibility is something that should be delegated rather than assumed. So we delegated part of our responsibilities to others. Parents, Pastors, Pharisee/Sadducee priests, rulers, authorities of all types, forms and colors.
Thus, we hoped that along with the outsourcing of responsibility we would outsource the blame. And yes, it is easier to blame the outside than the inside. It becomes possible to point the finger far away.
However, escaping blame does not necessarily keep us from the consequences. Even the innocent pay the price of bad outcomes. Therefore, blame should not be more feared or avoided than results, for results are what actually make us suffer the consequences of actions that in many cases are independent of whether they were taken by oneself or by others.
The Practitioners of Evil
And it is Blame that motivates the deliberate sale of Freedom for the modest price of exogenous control.
And there are some who seek exactly power, centralization, control. They take advantage of the natural fear of blame, but to truly control the world they go further: they provoke the scenarios that lead to accountability, that lead to decision, that are therefore avoided out of fear of blame, and therefore responsibilities are outsourced to those who tirelessly seek them.
The Wolves
They do not fear blame because they possess no integrity. Think about the kind of being that does not blame itself? In whom blame generates no weight whatsoever regardless of the result to be paid?
These consciousnesses are the most conscious. They assume responsibilities because they could not care less about the consequences, for they themselves will not pay for them. They receive the delegated responsibility, but delegate the results. Bingo!
They skip the blame, and return to those who gave them the blank check the letter of judgment. These are the practitioners of evil. They exploit this flaw in their character, the lack of blame, and use it for their own benefit and to the direct detriment of others.
They are the wicked, the wolves. They wear Sheep’s clothing and pretend to be sheep, but when night falls they tear the sheep apart at their dinner.
We can therefore blame the wicked for their wickedness. But there is a truth that can no longer be ignored: ultimately the blame is on the Sheep.
The Great Teaching of Jesus
Humility as the foundation of the human condition.
Humility! Humility to recognize one’s own fallibility. Humility to admit error and to understand that true arrogance resides in the pretension of perfection.
Jesus demonstrated what perfection means in its highest expression, and in doing so made evident that such a state is not accessible to us, limited creatures.
Therefore, the Sheep are not paralyzed merely by the comfort of non-decision; they surrender mainly through the unreal pursuit of a position free from flaws. The pursuit of perfection – impossible for human nature – leads to the replacement of freedom with rigid religious structures.
In this process, inner integrity is traded for external rituals: offerings, prayers, symbolic sacrifices, while nothing is transformed in the intimate space where the true temple of Theos is found.
And when they inevitably fail, hypocrisy emerges as salvation – precisely the one that Jesus denounced with intensity when addressing the Pharisees, extending this criticism to all religious leaders who, by not entering the Kingdom, also prevent others from doing so, for the Kingdom is for the Free and not for the self-enslaved.
The Core of the Biblical Narrative
Here lies the core of the biblical narrative and of the project to restore the Kingdom of Theos: the call to authenticity, to the recognition of error and to the willingness to bear the consequences that are born from it – without lies, without revolt and without revolution.
For Humanity is self-constructive and Alive and growing, and being so could never subsist through dogma and static and immutable laws, for they led humanity to falseness, to lies, to hypocrisy and to deception.
We are ashamed of erring, yet we err consciously. One must choose between one and the other.
The Universe cannot by definition of existence sustain itself on lies. Imagine an atom that pretends to do its job? Imagine the Earth stopping to take a sneaky little detour while the boss is not around!
Nothing that works does so without Rigid Rules and Laws, but only those that are essential to existence. If not, they are foolish and empty, they are false and useless for the purpose of Theos – but useful for the purpose of the destroyer.
The Brilliant Simplicity
The Simplicity of the message of Jesus is Brilliant. It is Divine because he is Θεός the Creator himself!
Live with errors, but live in the Light. If you believe something is correct, defend it in the light and do not operate in the shadows while criticizing others similar to you.
And what in the entire World can allow the construction of inequity with more freedom than Power?! This is why the beasts took it and made it operate as they operate: in the shadows, in plain sight, but exploiting the collective blindness caused by vanity, arrogance, laziness of thinking and of being.
From the arrogance that generates the fear of erring and in order not to err one does not exist – one surrenders. This is the second death!
Jesus Taught Us EVERYTHING
Each Sheep carries civil and spiritual responsibility for their choices. The responsibilities of thinking and of being!
We make choices every day but always fail:
- By following without examining.
- By accepting ready-made discourses.
- By handing our judgment to others.
- By preferring the comfort of ignorance over the discomfort of truth.
The Truth is easily detected, but it does not serve the majority – so, by non-confrontation, one swims with the tide.

Let the Omissive Know
Jesus says in the Unveiling:
oida sou ta erga hoti oute psychros ei oute zestos; ophelon psychros es e zestos. houtos, hoti chliaros ei, kai oute zestos oute psychros, mello se emesai ek tou stomatos mou.
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish you were cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to vomit you out of my mouth.”
Unveiling 3:15-16 – Codex WH1881 | rigid literal translation (PT-BR) “Belem, An.C 2025”
Morphological analysis – Subject identification:
- oida = verb with implicit subject I (the Christ speaking)
- ei (v.15) = subject YOU
- es = subject YOU
- ei (v.16) = subject YOU
- mello = subject I
