Historical Analysis of Jesus's Teachings

Christianity today is not what Jesus actually

taught. Jesus did not create imperial

Christianity. Jesus taught the kingdom of

God, and Rome turned Christianity into

imperial order. In 30 AD, Jesus is

crucified by Rome for being a threat

to authority. From 40 to 60 AD, Paul

starts to spread Jesus's message beyond Judaism,

but Paul didn't know Jesus directly, and so

the message starts to shift from follow Jesus

to believe the correct things about Jesus.

In 64 AD, Rome starts to persecute

Christians who do not follow the Roman Empire.

These are the true Christians. In 303 to

311 AD, the Great Persecution happens.

This is where imperial edicts strip

Christians of their legal rights.

They targeted scriptures and churches, and they

persecuted Christians to comply with traditional

Roman religious practices. In 313 AD,

Constantine legalizes Christianity inside the Roman

Empire, and it goes from being a persecuted

movement to a

protected religion. But this is where things really start to shift.

In 325 AD, Constantine calls the Council of

Nicaea, and the council decides what about

Christianity is orthodox, fits with the Roman

Empire, and what is hearsay. And this is where

Jesus's actual teachings are really starting to be

left out. Then, in 380 AD, Nicaean Christianity

becomes the official religion of Rome, and Christianity goes from

being a spiritual path to a state religion.

And in 392 AD and onwards, Rome begins to

suppress other religions and other forms of Christianity.

As you can see from this historical context, Jesus's actual

teachings are not what is instilled in

traditional Christianity. Rome took Jesus's teachings

and made them into religious dogmas, and those that

spread Jesus's messages were not the ones that

actually knew him. Jesus's true teachings of being one

with God, loving your brothers and sisters as yourself,

and knowing that the kingdom of heaven is within you is

not what traditional Christianity teaches, because it is

based upon an empire that used the

religion to create an indoctrinated

system to ultimately form control.

Jesus did not come to Earth to try and

start a religion. This is what he actually came for.

Jesus's followers were called The Way, meaning

that they were following a path. And one of Jesus's

main messages was that the kingdom of heaven is

within you. He would repeatedly refer to

God and heaven is within you. And what Jesus was doing

was he was teaching the path of God, and he was

showing people how to walk with God.

But what happened was that religions were formed

after his death and distorted his teachings.

They used them to have control over people.

They taught you to worship Jesus so that you would always

feel less than. And here's the thing.

While Jesus was alive, he challenged religions that

were using fear and rules, like the Pharisees,

instead of love. So Jesus was actually against

religion, and then religions were created to try and

distort Jesus's message to have control over people.

Jesus was here to show you the path of God and to show you that God

lives within each and every single one of us.

So the more that we can move away from religious dogma

and actually get to the true message, we will start to recognize

that we are one, we are together, and God lives

within us.
