I was baptized a Roman Catholic without being asked. That was the first unchristian act in my life.
As I grew older, I studied church history, the Bible, and Christianization or missionary work.
While studying theology, I found out that the Catholic official church, controlled by the Vatican, is nothing but a power and financial organization like the mafia.
This church is built on lies about Jesus, Mary Magdalene and the apostles. It is also built on the falsification of the canonical Gospels, the so-called regular Bible and the exclusion of the Apocryphal Gospels.
Moreover, it is built and reinforced by murder and manslaughter of dissenters as well as the killing of "pagans" worldwide during Christianization. These different believers had to die if they did not want to accept the "only true faith". Drastic examples are among others the Cathars, Saxons, Germanic peoples and the indigenous peoples of Central and South America *.
It should also be remembered that the Bible was commissioned by a pagan, 'Constantine I (the "Great")', in order to stabilize the Roman Empire internally. The most different Christian groups fought for supremacy. In addition, the discord between Christians and those of other faiths threatened to massively destabilize the Roman Empire.
The First Council of Nicaea was convened by Constantine I in 325 AD in Nicaea. The central point of contention was the Christological question of the nature of Jesus and his position in relation to God the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Only the four Gospels that portrayed Jesus as the exclusively bodily Son of God, that is, only divine, were included in the Bible.
The much more important Gospels (Apocrypha), which were older and therefore more authentic, were excluded. There Jesus was presented not only as elite divine, but also as a man, human with divine ambitions, inspirations and visions. His divine healing work, however, remains untouched.
Proven fact is that Jesus never wanted institutional churches as they exist now.
He followed the common practice of that time to call communities of faith into being, in the tradition of the Essenes, for example.
Jesus speaks
(Gospel of Thomas)
'The kingdom of God is within you and all around you (But the kingdom is within you, and it is outside you); Not in buildings of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and I am there, Turn a stone and you will find me.'
No, the divine reality exists
Within you and all around you.
Only when you have recognized your true self will you be fully recognized - and finally realize that you are
a child of the living.
However, if you never learn who you really are, you are an impoverished being,
and it is your "self" that is impoverished.'

TRANSLATION ERRORS and
MANIPULATION!
The Bible, the Apocrypha and other texts about Jesus and his ministry.
Predominantly, these texts and books were written in Aramaic, the language of Jesus. These texts were translated several times and in series, first into Greek, then into Latin and then into other languages such as German.
From a linguistic point of view, these multiple translations contain many errors. Literal translation does not mean translation according to the meaning. In different cultural circles, terms are often interpreted differently and thus receive a different meaning.
This has been proven by language experts.
In addition, the meanings of words change over time, even within a cultural group. From Old High German to Middle High German to today's German. Even in a period of one generation the meaning can change, as I experience in our language.
It is also assumed that manipulations in interpretation and translation were and are not uncommon.
BESIDES, FOR ME THE OLD TESTAMENT IS THE BOOK OF THE DARK APOSTATE "GOD"
THE NEW TESTAMENT IS THE TEACHING OF THE LOVING GOD
But this is a very long and sad story, which I will be happy to clarify if you are interested.
That is why I left the Roman Catholic Church and became a gostic Christian (or Christian Gnostic), that is, an Original Christian.
However, I am very tolerant and ecumenical on this point. Whether Judaism, Islam, Orthodox, Buddhism, Hinduism or Daoism (or Taoism).
For me all these religions are very interesting and agree in many points.
Whereas Daoism is not a real religion, but a Chinese philosophy of Laotsi. This is clearly expressed in the Yin Yang and I Ching and is also called the Chinese Gnosis.
Jesus, Mary Magdalene and Judas: the truth about the most colorful figures of the Bible;
Equality and peace: this is what Jesus really wanted!
He is the epitome of the rotten traitor and she is the most enigmatic woman in Christianity: countless rumors and conjectures have grown up around Judas and Mary Magdalene, and they have fascinated people for two millennia. After years of research, Franz Alt shows in this groundbreaking book that Judas was a friend of Jesus and Mary Magdalene as a trusted companion of Jesus no longer deserves the dirty image and token woman existence. A riveting foray through the Bible and church history with spectacular twists and turns. An answer to the question of how church can be "systemically relevant" again.
The Easter season is a good occasion to think anew about the three most important personalities in the "New Testament": about Jesus, his companion Mary Magdalene and about the alleged traitor Judas.
Right away: Jesus and Mary Magdalene, the alleged w***e, were a dream couple and Judas was not the "traitor" of Jesus, but his best friend. The traitor was Peter.
Jesus is the most effective person in our history. That is why three Jesus books are published every day in the world, that is, a thousand Jesus books a year about a man who lived 2000 years ago - this is a unique phenomenon.
His basic program is called: trust, hope, love. About no one else have so many books been published, so many buildings erected, so many songs composed and so many poems written as about this wonderful young man from Nazareth.
But unfortunately, all the Gospels are translated from Greek. Yet Jesus spoke Aramaic. The Aramaic expert and theologian Günther Schwarz, after 50 years of studying Jesus' native language, came to the conclusion that every second word of Jesus in the official Bible is mistranslated. And that also many statements about Judas and Mary Magdalene cannot be correct.
The insight of this renowned Aramaic expert: "What the Christians believe, Jesus did not teach! And what Jesus taught - Christians don't know."
In 2016, Pope Francis referred to Mary Magdalene as the "apostle to the apostles," that is, the first female pope. What all could today's Church learn from this insight, if it were indeed capable of learning in the spirit of Jesus? Jesus was a great lover of women. The women of his time were virtually crazy about this first new man.
A catastrophic falsification that led to the Holocaust. A next council would have to Judas and Mary Magdalene.
