The Church

Now, we have briefly discussed Jesus and his manner of teaching by parable.  Jesus, like other masters before him, attract a following who pass on their master's teaching once the master is removed from the scene.  Now, it is absolute ignorance to believe that the teaching delivered
by any master remains untainted and non manipulated through the many centuries that pass by.  Each century is dominated by various religious and political powers of authority, and as history relates and verifies, only a very few of these powers of authority, let us say, were of any reasonable state of trust worthiness.  Only a fool would endeavour to debate the righteous standing of these miscreant authorities.

Unfortunately the church, as history relates, cannot be exempted from this unrighteousness, these acts of evil, these acts of treason and betrayal against the very master  that brought about their existence.  One can rest assured, rather then enter into useless blind debate of defence and justification, that religious doctrine has been tampered with and changed.  And I do not have the time, presently, to state lists of examples.  If you have a need for such examples then conduct your own investigation.  If your search for truth is sincere then you will find.

As centuries continuously unfold, with this unfoldment come periods of righteousness, periods of unrighteousness, kingdoms are created and kingdoms are dissolved, there are periods of heroes and periods of villains - and religious doctrine falls subject under the various powers of these changes.

We cannot assume that the Master himself established the Church to what it had become centuries later.  Indeed, in the 1st century, Christian meetings and fellowship was confined to individual houses, and these houses were not necessarily advertised to the general public.  Christianity, at that time was known as "The Way," and priests, bishops, deacons came along much later on.  So were the particular rituals.  In this way, Christianity has always been an evolving religion.

In the same way, where Christianity is concerned, there is no real physical evidence that a person called Jesus ever existed.  The same applies with the character known as Moses.  But I am not implying that these characters have no standing in history, only that we must find and identify them by some notable personage fitting the description of Moses and Jesus who lived during their assigned periods.  In fact, Jesus, is not the assigned name to this Master, but Joshua.  The name Jesus was assigned to him so as not to confuse him with the Joshua during the time of Moses.  And further more, there are other schools of thought that credit him with other names.

There is also very little evidence confirming the authenticity of the Christian writings before the year 250 or 300 A.D.  To my knowledge, the earliest writings are simply copies of copies,  whereas, the source, or "Quelle", from which they were copied is no longer in existence.  Because of this now non existing source to cross reference, Christianity is mainly a religion of faith.  In this faith we need to trust and rely on the utmost truth and accuracy of all past translators of the Christian scholars or scribes.
