… as they understand it … but there is more to know …

According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions, churches, denominations, religious bodies, faith groups, tribes, cultures, movements, among others.

What I notice is that as different as they all are, they say the same thing, “There is only one God, mine.”

I can’t help but remember the old Kennel Ration dog food commercial from when I was growing up as a kid. It went like this:

“My dog’s better than your dog.

“My dog’s better than yours,

“My dog’s better ‘coz he eats Kennel Ration,

“My dog’s better than yours.”

Remember? It came out in the 1950’s and 60’s.

We humans tend to do the same thing with God. We say there is only one God. Most people agree. Then they say, “Yes, my God.”

There are wars over this very point worldwide. When you really understand human history, what actually happened instead of the childish versions of any religion, you will see the dawning of history, science, and religions finally arriving at the truth of humanity, and what actually took place.

Is humanity’s pride and ego so big that humanity cannot learn anything other than what it was originally indoctrinated into believing?

I hope not.

I believe now is the time, with various churches closing and other churches honestly seeking truth of human origins beyond the fairy tales you have all been told, which are just allegories about the truth of the matter, that it is time to advance, much like our medicine culture has advanced beyond using remedies from the dark ages.

When I allowed myself to keep learning past the indoctrination I received as a child and young adult into my older years by zealous adults speaking with certainty, I stopped getting drawn into thinking and joining a wide variety of religious and/or spiritual groups, as if that is what I “should” do.

I believe what I “should” do is to keep learning. Unless I studied all religions, and especially what had been kept from me for unholy purposes, I finally realized I was still in the infant stage of religious and spiritual development regardless of chronical age.

My heart goes out to all of you because, if you are anything like me, I remained at this very state until I finally allowed myself to learn what had been kept away from my religious education until I was in my 60’s. I am shocked it took me that long.

It wasn’t that I wasn’t trying to get to the bottom of all my questions. I was very much motivated by the guilt; guilt that I could not leave my church (in many different states life took me to) which I had been baptized in for most of my life.

I had received weekly spiritual direction from my local priest for year, and even after when he became a bishop. How could I possibly leave my faith which I believed in with all my heart?

But how could I continue to have deep-seated questions that simply would not go away?

When I retired, I finally had the time to research for myself. I dug deep into everything I could find, including those books I had previously been told not to read because they were “apocryphal.”

Keep in mind, the word apocryphal only means hidden knowledge, not anti-Christ, nor anti-Jesus, nor anti-God.

I discovered when I allow myself to read and know what had been kept away from me, a more complete picture of accurate history unfolded. How could I not see this before?

What did I learn that had to be kept under wraps to such a degree that wars are being fought over which “God/god” is the “right “God/god?”

Sadly, this all has to do with semantics and human pride.

When you unravel the pages of human history, you finally come to the point where there really were giants walking among us, creating those huge megalith temples, pyramids found all over the globe. Mere human beings did not create these structures.

These huge beings, regardless of what you call them, giants, 200 fallen gods of the bible, Nephilim, were all over the Earth. They fought over territories and the people in them, and mating with the women, as Genesis 6 says.

They all fought to be the One True God, while each of these beings settled on particular areas of Earth, claiming the people as their own.

There is a reason why there are many religions all over the world. They all have their particular founding leader. All of these leaders, while they claimed to be the One True God, were for the people they watched over, but not all were the One True God for all of them.

This is why Jesus came to correct misinformation. He said, “My Father is not your father, but my father has become a father to you.” from The Second Revelation of James, page 336 in the Nag Hammadi Scriptures, the Revised and Updated Translation of Sacred Gnostic Texts, edited by Marvin Meyer.

Jesus taught that his Father was not your father. He taught this in both the Nag Hammadi Scriptures as well as in today’s bibles. You can find his words in John 8:37-38; John 8:42-47; and John 8:19 in today’s bibles, which are also included in my latest book, WISDOM, subtitled, FOR A HURTING WORLD.

John 8: 37-38 says, “I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you. I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”

John 8:42-47, Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me. “Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. “But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me. “Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? “He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

John 8:19, Then they asked him, “Where is your father?” “You do not know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

Notice the upper case “F” and the lower case “f” in the words Father and father. This is not a typo. The first thing the Church Fathers indoctrinated the masses with was the notion and promotion that there is one God in the Nicaean Creed, from the First Ecumenical Council in 325 A.D. This council was called by Emperor Constantine to define the basic tenants of Christianity. The Nicaean Creed was also later expanded at the Second Ecumenical Council at Constantinople in 381 A.D. Since that time, the Nicaean Creed has greatly been changed as time went by and new challenges and theological questions arose from both inside and outside of Church thinking.

It is good to question how this pillar of belief could be pontificated when much of what Jesus said and taught was purposefully hidden. Who would not want you to know what other important information Jesus, the Savior, came to tell you?
