Religion Studies. What Christianity Used To Be. The First Century Church.
In the first to third centuries, Christianity was centered upon a liturgy (procession of the word, communion, agape love feast) where all the early fathers of the Christian Faith believed communion was the literal body and blood of Jesus Christ, a sacrifice offered to God the Father.

This belief only changed since after Lutheranism. People say Lutheranism changed beliefs, that is not correct, it is only in post-Lutheranism that Christians believed the Eucharist became symbolic. The St. Thomas Christians, are the only Christian Community, that still celebrates the Agape.

Modern Catholics and Orthodox celebrate the Eucharist or Divine Liturgy as the True Sacrifice, but the Agape is no longer a component of the liturgy and it is not the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ but a blessed meal to be shared among Christians in thanksgiving.

I have no idea how I got into a religion discussion. Used to be Roman Catholic. But it was said in Ps. 110:4, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, "Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek".

The Pope is the Bishop of Rome, a colleague among his fellow bishops, the successors of the original Apostles. No man can jump out of the woodwork and suddenly declare himself an Apostle of God, it is done by the laying of hands, by the power of the Holy Spirit, as shown in the sacred scriptures.

Most the Gnostic texts date to the 4th century or beyond. The key thing is that faith was centered upon action and practice and not esoteric philosophy.

The early Church, universally believed that the Eucharist is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ.

If one should eat of his flesh and drink of his blood, they shall have life until he comes again.

Once he comes in glory, the faithful shall be raised up in new glorified, immortal, and imperishable bodies.

Not true, Gnostics existed as a sect in Rome alongside the earliest Catholics.

The main difference was that Gnostics despised the idea that a church or priest was needed to be the intermediary between man and god. That is obviously a huge difference in beliefs as to what Christianity should be so when the catholics gained more power, due to their more structured and ordered practices, they determined that the Gnostics should be eliminated as heretics. The original Gnostics would be much closer to protestants, if they had existed, than they were to catholics with their hierarchical and ceremonial systems.

Looking forward to translations straight to English from the Aramaic for the purportedly hidden 54 books of the Bible relinquished from the Vatican tunnels in the past few years:

"The Geneva tunnel system joins the Vatican tunnel system and has over 60 miles of library / underground library hidden from society. Which contains 54 hidden books that were originally part of the Great Aramaic Peshitta Bible." - Judy Byington

She also inferred that Jesus Christ's teachings were more metaphysical than represented in the King James Version.

The Aramaic to English (without the Greek and Latin muddling up meanings in between) of The Lord's Prayer is very different and beautiful. Why not the entire King James version? We have much to look forward to.

Not to hate ourselves, but to improve ourselves by choosing to make better choices that align with love and not the ego.

The ego mind, that is also called the survival mind or the mind of lack, serves a purpose but it also pulls us into envy, greed, selfishness, hoarding, and hierarchy.

A mind that is under the strong influence of the ego and without much wisdom and benevolent maturity yet could make anyone do very evil deeds, blinded by malicious selfish ambitions.

The caring and compassionate God created the universe and all universes in pure love, and so indeed all good things are from God.

Contrary to popular beliefs God doesn't anger easily or at all, or be vengeful, or will judge and torture those who displeases God.

Being purposely here in low wisdom it is us with our ego minds that do all those unkind things, including harming and killing each other.

So yes, all good things come from God. And all evil things came from us from not knowing any better yet while we learn to grow up spiritually to love.

Not a criticism of humanity, but to highlight it is the process we have to go through as we grow up to greater wisdom and benevolent maturity.

All the best!

and it was wrong. that is not what Jesus taught and its been kept that way to this very day.

His ONE SACRAMENT he left.. was the bread was memory that he is the BREAD OF LIFE in this one out 700,000 Universes that he IS as its CREATOR SON..

the wine is in memory of his LIFE HERE.. You do not become Jesus by eating the bread... or drinking is hlood and that is SATANISM to the core no matter when it started.

So is rolling in his Blood and pouring it on youself... that is Satanism to the core.

He bestowed his SPIRIT OF TRUTH and that is what you also not be rolling in.. but growing your spirit in. Stop your satanic rituals. HE left NONE.

He created no church or religion.. you ones are held under Vatican and Rome doing evil and destroying what he taught you to be.

He did not teach you have to join one religion or go to hell. He taught religion is your personal experience with your Father INSIDE OF YOU.

you are NOT ever saved by Jesus.. but he did in a way save this prison WARD of the Luciferians from being blown up. OK.

Earth could have become another asteroid belt.

You save yourselves when you find Something of God and choose the life eternal. There is no other way in the entire Creation of 5.6 TRILLION planets bearing life with human mind... all save themselves.. nobody but nobody can do your SPIRITUAL GROWTH but you..


In believing you only are saved by Jesus.. is destructive against the entire human races of this world.. you are being USED by antichrist SHITS to destroy this world.

to believe you just join a rotten church as you are saved and all the billions and billions and billions of others on this world burn in there meat suits in hell from trillions of years is beyond STUPID... Now grow the fuck up.

There will be ONE public teaching religion on this world before it goes into the holy status of Light and Life.. It may still be called Christianity.. but it will be fully remodeled into Truth and made HOLY.. it is NOT HOLY and Divine at this time.

My soul isn't guilty, this is no different that white males are told they are guilty.

Religions teach self loathing for cash. Everything good that happens to you, god did it, everything bad that happens to you, you did it. If thats not teaching every person on earth to hate themselves, I dont know what is.

Yes, very self destructive thinking which causes a guilty feeling that requires more cash payments to soothe.

"Cash payments" seems to be a central theme to most of these religions.
