You're gonna like how this starts, but I'll probably lose you shortly after.

I believe that Jesus Christ died to free you, me, and all of us from the sins of our fathers and the innumerable sins we may incur by simply, naturally, existing.

He has my undying appreciation for it.

However, I don't mean that as you'd like to think.

Jesus called out the corruption of the so-called leaders.
He demonstrated their hypocrisy.
He gave his life for everyone to see the evil that had surrounded and infected them.

Once everyone saw it, they were freed.
And, yet...

That act was then turned on its head.
It was used to put people right back into the same situation they'd just so narrowly escaped from.
If you've read The Bible, then you know full well that Jesus would not tolerate how The Church has behaved in His Name and twisted His message.

You want to be saved FROM THAT?
You want to be freed FROM THAT?
You want a new life where THAT is no longer bearing on your soul, causing you to live in a hell you can't escape from on your own?

All you gotta do is believe that THAT no longer enslaves you nor shackles your mind.

You might could call it Christ Consciousness.

But it's why I'd rather be Christ-like than Christian.
It's why Paul, the Roman Pharisee, and the people who've pushed him over the millennia piss me off so much.

They undid everything Jesus was going for and trapped everyone again.

And the blind run around talking about what great sight they have... yet they can't even see the cage they've been thrown into.

Those in power never want to lose it, especially when they should have never had it.

How many times throughout history have the "elites" never left?

It's always the same people pushing the same schtick with a different wrapper.

The Church claiming Christ's blessing is the same group of conartists He exposed in the first place.

There is a God and they have been abusing His children this entire time for their own benefit.

It's not just the Pharisees. The fertile crescent had many groups that deserved someone like Christ calling them out.

It's not just The Christ, either.
The Buddha called out the same crap in India.
Yet the same thing happened... whether you look at the Dalai Lama or Shaolin.

As the Father of Lies would do merely as a hook, Paul would speak truthfully and expose what he was up to... they just can't help themselves.

Remember when he said that the only reason we sin is because sin exists, as provided by The Law?

He who has the gold makes the rules.

How many corrupt monarchies were established using the same logic?

"It's God's will that I rule. My Divine Right grants me authority over you, and my Laws are righteous in the eyes of God. Maybe I grant mercy, but don't you ever disobey me as you would be disobeying THE LORD!"

Now apply everything I just said to The Church and remember that The Pope has all the "authorities" the Kings and Queens claimed, but that The Pope is a representative of God on Earth, through whom His further/current Will is made known.

Really? God chose the warmongering pedos?

I mean, if Islam could be used as an example since they did the same thing, based on the same narrative... apparently God does choose that kind of person.

Paul and Mohammad are effectually the same to me.
Why would anyone believe them, let alone do as they say?

How many King/Lineage and Nation Building claims and legends have you dismissed at this point?
The House of Judah was different?

How many Gods birthed or blessed Patriarchs, and that's why you have obey them? Obey or die... it's a numbers game & they don't need you, personally.

Myths & Legends. England still has a Queen, and Japan still has an Emperor, both with fantastical origin-of-authority narratives.

Hell! Best Korea still has a God King, as his father was, and his father before him. North Korea would have never gotten this way without that story.

If Jesus is what you need to undo being told you couldn't connect directly with God... that's fine.
It's kinda what he was aiming for, anyway.

One of the greatest plagues released upon Humanity was convincing us that we were cut off from God, let alone we're never good enough.

Beyond the Meta... do I believe the claims made by Man about Jesus? No more than the claims of Man regarding others.

Jesus could personally and directly put an end to my "confusion" if they wanted to... Remember Doubting Thomas?

But... what if I'm not "confused"?
Consider that.
