DECENTRALIZED SPIRITUALITY and the true teachings of Christ: Overcoming the censorship, threats and lies of organized religion to truly know God and the Universal Christ
Some of my previous comments about knowing Christ have been maliciously misinterpreted by nefarious FAKE Christians who actually follow satanism and are trying to separate humanity from God, so here’s a clarification of what I’m hoping to share with everyone who calls themselves a Christian. The purpose of this information is to help you get CLOSER to God, closer to Christ, and to avoid being deceived by the organized religion institutions that practice extreme censorship and that seek to insert themselves as gatekeepers between you and God, shifting your loyalty and worship to themselves and away from God.
Conventional Christian teachings have been distorted by institutions
What most people have been taught about Christ, God and the requirements to be judged worthy by God have been distorted over time, for the purpose of centralizing spiritual control in the institution of the Church. The Bible was not written by God himself, but by men, mostly scribes, and those men had their own biases shaped by the necessary politics of the nations and times in which they lived. It was dangerous during the height of the Roman Empire, for example, to write that men should be loyal to God alone and not to Rome. This is why various writings (of Paul in particular) adorned Roman government officials as ordained by God, even though Rome was a corrupt, immoral society that practiced slavery, violent conquests, animal sacrifice and other notable sins that Jesus overtly rejected.
Jesus taught that God is already within each of us
Jesus of Nazareth taught that God is within each of us (decentralized). Jesus’s brother James also strenuously taught that God is within us and that we can have a direct relationship with God, no temples or church steeples required. James was largely written out of the history of organized Christian religion, and he was murdered for his teachings. If Christianity was practiced along the lines of these teachings by James and Jesus, large institutional church organizations like the Vatican would have no power, as people would realize they don’t need a Pope to tell them how to deepen their relationship with Christ, because Christ is universal and his teachings transcend any particular nationality, religion or ethnic group.
The Gospel of Thomas
The Gospel of Thomas further underscores the decentralized nature of God’s miracles that exist within each of us, and of course today’s most prolific Christian churches don’t dare teach the truth about the Gospel of Thomas, or the works of James, because those principles empower individuals to be spiritually connected to God without worshiping organized religion as the gatekeepers. The Roman Catholic Church desperately wanted to establish is power over its flock, to reinforce the idea that only the Church itself could provide a proper pathway to salvation, yet that’s not at all what Jesus, James and many others taught.
Faith without works is dead
Jesus and James taught that every human being is a child of God, and that all people have a pathway to God’s ultimate reward (“Heaven”) based on demonstrating their faith and humility through their deeds (their works). As James stated, “Faith without works is dead.” He meant that merely professing faith in Jesus, without carrying out the deeds of a worthy person (helping the poor, practicing forgiveness, respecting the dignity of others, etc.), would not get you into Heaven. You could not, for example, be a serial killer but then claim with your mouth that Jesus is your savior, and then expect to enter Heaven with God’s endorsement. Your deeds matter. But this is not what the Roman Catholic Church taught...
The Roman Catholic Church, which distorted and altered the writings of Paul, reinforced the false idea that entering Heaven merely required accepting Jesus as your savior, even if you did not carry out deeds in accordance with Jesus’ teachings. This made the idea of salvation “cheap” and easy for the masses to achieve, since it only required saying a few words and then the church adorned you as “saved.” This is the fast food drive-through version of spirituality, and it became the recruitment drive focus for the Catholic Church in its early days.
No church can grant you entry into Heaven
To this day, mega-churches and large organized church institutions that claim to represent Christianity do not faithfully teach what Jesus, James and Thomas taught: That God is within each of us, that we each have direct access to God, and that we must actually behave in a manner that is dignified and Heaven-worthy in order to reach Heaven after life. The failure of organized religion to teach people that they can connect with God themselves, individually, is not a bug but a feature. It keeps the organized religious institutions in power, wielding the promise of salvation over the heads of their flocks as an obedience demand. Yet the fundamental bargain offered by these organized religious institutions is false: That you can only enter Heaven through a system that we control and by doing what we say.
The great spiritual con of slaughtering animals to negate your sins
In the Old Testament, the high priests in the temple in Jerusalem sold “salvation” by slaughtering animals as a form of sacrifice to God, telling gullible participants that the greater the animal they would murder, the more sins would be erased. Naturally, a larger slaughter required higher payment, and so animal sacrifice became a kind of spiritual con game where sinful but wealthy people would visit the temple to murder animals for payment, believing that their sins were absolved through violence. And the religious leaders of the era went right along with it because it paid handsomely. But the very premise of the bargain never made sense: If God is all-powerful and all-loving, why would he need animals to be cruelly murdered in his name? Why would violence appease our Creator of Love?
Why Jesus denounced animal sacrifice
Jesus abhorred the practice of animal sacrifice, and when he overturned the tables of the money changers in the temple, he also freed the animals that were held in cages to be slaughtered by the religious leaders. Jesus exercised real compassion toward all living creatures, while the organized religious leaders of his day were serial animal murderers who profited from blood while falsely claiming that animal murder would absolve you of your sins. This same sort of scheme continues to this day, where people are told by large, organized religious institutions that their pathway to Heaven requires very large financial contributions to the church itself. And the more you pay, the greater your chances of entering Heaven and being forgiven for your sins. The Church, it turns out, it still “selling” salvation, running the same con that was practiced two millennia ago.
Jesus would condemn most modern-day large churches as frauds
Jesus would have scorned such fraudulent spiritual bargains, knowing that deeds alone determine your worthiness in the eyes of God. He denounced those in the church who flaunted wealth, and Jesus himself would not allow disciples to follow him unless they dispossessed themselves of all worldly possessions. The bottom line? If you want to follow the actual teachings of Jesus, and you want to enter Heaven after this life, then behave as a worthy person in your deeds and actions. Help those in need. Clothe the impoverished. Feed the hungry. Practice humility and forgiveness. Treat human beings with fundamental dignity, and basically don’t be a horrible person.
Jesus taught that these are literally the only requirements, NOT attending church, not memorizing scripture (as most people in his day could not even read), and not merely uttering the name “Jesus” absent qualifying deeds and works. Your pathway to God is already built in! You are already fully saved if you decide to lead a moral life! You do not need the permission or blessing of any church, any religion, any priest or any ritual. YOU are an expression of God, and God is already within you. But organized religious will go to tremendous lengths to prevent you from learning this...
How the Church maintains power through censorship, intimidation and lies
Now you know why organized religious institutions despise this message and seek to attack anyone who teaches this powerful, fundamental cosmic truth. Organized religion will use FUD tactics to try to prevent people from learning this information. When you hear defenders of the institutions claim things like, “You aren’t a Bible scholar, so you have no idea what you’re talking about,” that’s classic GATEKEEPING behavior, playing the “religious authority” card to prevent anyone from asking questions.
The Vatican has, for centuries, buried religious texts, keeping them hidden from public view. The Vatican even hid the Dead Sea Scrolls for decades, only releasing portions after numerous lawsuits and investigative journalism efforts exposed the Vatican’s gatekeeping. To this day, at least 22 complete scriptural books remain deleted from the western Christian Bible, and there are additional writings about Giants as well as Enoch. The term “Apocrypha” refers to the set of deleted books, but when anyone interested in history mentions such items, they are attacked by Church gatekeepers who decry such works as “counterfeit” documents or false teachings. This is of course more gatekeeping behavior designed to achieve large-scale censorship of actual historical writings.
The conclusion is that today’s organized Christian institutions are heavily reliant on censorship and fear tactics to keep their own flocks in line, using a variety of manipulations and even spiritual threats to make sure their people don’t step outside the allowable lines of “proper worship” and begin to explore the nature of Christ, God and Creation for themselves. The last thing the Church wants is for people to realize they are actually children of God. Instead, the Church position itself as “God’s governor” with full spiritual authority to either save you or condemn you, based on whether you support the Church and all its earthly activities including politics, money and social engineering.
As an example of how dangerous and deadly this can be, many Christian pastors urged their flocks to get vaccinated during COVID, and many followed that advice because they believed their church pastor was a representative of God. It turns out they were actually puppets of Satan, and those who followed the advice were maimed or killed by the jabs pushed by their church.
You already have access to God, as He is within you
If you want to be close to God, you don’t technically need a church, you don’t need to sing hymns and you don’t need to tithe money to anyone. The Church hopes you never realize this, because it would free you from their control. These teachings of Jesus were considered so heretical that, of course, they nailed him to a cross and left him to die. While it is said that “He died for your sins,” the truth is that he was killed because he was trying to free humanity from the distortions of organized religion. Sadly, those distortions and manipulation traps continue to this day. But Jesus wanted you to be free from earthly institutional coercion and control, because the only true path to knowing God is through truth, not manipulation, censorship and deception (all traits of modern-day organized religion). LEARN what Jesus truly taught. LIVE his teachings. And your LOVE for God’s creation will automatically qualify you for salvation, even if you never step foot in a church for the rest of your life.
