Christianity, its Major Problem
by jude Saturday, Dec 31 2016, 9:14pm
international / prose / post

Most informed research theologians agree that Jesus Christ was a radical Jewish reformer, who set himself up as the Jewish Messiah, NOT THE LEADER OF A NEW RELIGION. Jesus was Jewish through and through as were most of his followers and secret brethren that together conspired to reform Judaism and wrest control from the corrupt priest class of the time. Which they failed to accomplish.

However, Peter was instructed by Jesus to be the rock upon which a new reformed Judaism would be established. Then came Roman citizen Paul, who established himself as the leading proselytiser of a NEW religion, while adhering to the constrictive Levitical traditions bar one important exception, the acceptance of uncircumcised gentiles, which constituted most of Paul’s converts/following in his new religion, food and other prohibitions were also to be ignored. We should also remember that Paul’s ‘authority’ was self-declared by a seizure he had on the road to Damascus, nevertheless, this highly educated and charismatic figure was able to influence the Jewish diaspora in the region where he lived and worked -- his clashes with Jesus’ brother James, who led the sect after Jesus’ murder are well documented in the NT.

So it seems that the not so bright Peter and a cunning self-proclaimed messenger of Jesus, Paul, created a new religion though that appears not to have been Jesus’ intent. The fact that both men expected Jesus to return to claim his ‘Kingdom’ on earth in their life times constitutes is a huge piece of evidence that neither man understood the teaching of their master.

A reading of the much edited (Nicean Council) New Testament nevertheless contains enough material to infer that the REAL Jesus CHRIST, the anointed one or Messiah, never left humanity and that ‘he’ is always with us, so what need is there to return in temporal form when as God, Jesus is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent? However, that obvious fact seems to have eluded Peter and Paul whose failure actually subverted their new religion, one which James was vehemently opposed to. There is also evidence from the Apostle Thomas who established a sect on the west coast of India that followed Jesus’ teachings, in that it was a thoroughly Jewish sect, which observed Jewish traditions.

The Roman Catholic Vasco da Gama when he landed on the west coast of India was shocked to discover this Jewish sect established by Apostle Thomas and so put most of its texts to the torch and imposed a Roman Catholic set of rituals in place of the thoroughly Jewish observations of this sect as it clearly challenged, by the authority of Thomas, a view contrary to Roman Catholicism. However, various texts attributed to Thomas have recently been unearthed in the Middle East and North Africa which gives today’s scholars an insight into the original form of Jesus’ new Judaism.


Readings of the NT as is it today also contain heavy influences of Hellenistic mystical traditions, most notably that the REAL God/Divinity is within every human being as is stated quite plainly on a number of occasions throughout the original Greek gospels. Clearly the new religion Christianity, is an amalgam of esoteric ‘western’ traditions thinly veiled by an exoteric Jewish appearance/narrative.

The failure of Peter and Paul to clearly understand the message of the Jewish reformer Jesus delivers the fatal blow to Christianity, whose followers today are the world’s most shameless hypocrites and religious failures. Of course it stands to reason that a failed belief system would produce failed followers. However, the New Testament and other non-canonical 'Christian’ works constitutes a body of valuable information for those that have the eyes to see and the divine heart to read and understand. As for the established Christian churches of today they are nothing but parasitical political organisations -- all of them.

Happy winter solstice.
