I think now if I die on the 8th that I now have an understanding that God is all encompassing. Only the church tried to discourage it in order to gain power and wealth. Jesus fought it, in fact he asked his disciples their view of him and only Judas and Thomas, in different situations, had a clue as to who he was. Neither was included in the Bible. Thomas wrote down what Jesus said, the church cut it out. Of course was the gospel of Judas. Did not fit in with what the Church wanted to preach.
I was taught in Aramaic that Judas was the closest to Jesus and only Judas knew who Jesus was. But we all need villains so Judas got the role. Hitler picked the Jews as villains and they got the role. It does not matter who you are, it matters who picks your role.
Jesus said love your enemy as your self, do not repay evil with evil and that the love of money is the root of most evil. Reverse all this and you have current Christianity. Evangelicals favor torture more than any other group, Atheists know the Bible better than Evangelicals and Catholics....
Yet every single Christian that reads this will have no clue and will continue believing in what they believe because of their love of money. They simply, as Christians, do not believe that Jesus wants them to give any money to support the poor, to help the suffering, to house the homeless. They simply believe that Jesus is wrong!
Hard to believe.
