Thomaserian Christianity: My Faith

I was raised in a strict Roman Catholic Setting right up to my Confirmation into the Roman Catholic Church. I was an altar boy who heard the bible read to me every Sunday for the first 16 years of my life until I had a dog that died of parvovirus and I cursed God for letting that happen and at my Confirmation, my parish priest said the Bishop will ask you if you have any questions and to just stay silent but I disobeyed and unloaded on the Bishop and put my hand up and asked “Isn’t it true that there were no letters “J” and “U” in the language Jesus spoke at that time in history? Why do we dishonour his memory by calling him a name that didn’t exist? The Bishop started to get red in the face and I let another bomb drop where I asked “Didn’t you have to be married to teach in the temple as a Rabbi at that time in history”? Now the Bishop was pissed because he knew that I knew the answer and was under attack. I persisted and said “I think going to church every Sunday to celebrate our faith with songs and hymns in the presence of our saviour being tortured on the cross is worshiping a graven image of God if he is in fact the son of God. Don’t you agree? If I want to be Pope one day don’t I have to accept the vows of obedience, chastity and poverty? He replied in a better mood “Yes, those are the sacred vows every Pope must obey”. I then dropped my last bomb and said “Then why does he wear gold, live a life of luxury and not fight the injustice of world starvation and single homeless mothers without health care as his duty and vow of obedience to combat the worlds inhumane treatment and help solve the Palestinian and Hebrew question? Well needless to say I was not going to be my family’s first Roman Catholic Priest and slowly stopped going to church and became black-listed from my family. I’m a grown man now at 46 and have a deep spiritual faith in a higher power than mankind and would like to start my faith in its first and only church St. Thomas Parish which follows the gospel of Thomas and the message of the word of God in the flesh to “Love one another as you yourself would want to be loved and your enemies even more”. That’s it that’s all. A simple promise to implement love and compassion for all mankind where criminals are dealt with rehabilitation instead of incarceration, Law Enforcement becomes the highest paying job with the most education needed to qualify for the position like degrees in Psychology, Behavioral Science, Society Challenge and Change Courses, Mixed Martial Arts classes focused on self-defence and Greko Roman Wrestling in order to restrain powerful, violent offenders without causing physical long term injuries. Then all of these tactics reviewed every month in a four to 6-hour class taught by an expert military soldier trained in the home to home raids in war-torn countries where everything is dealt with using compassion, healthy communication and the development of trust between Law Enforcement and the person of interest. Until people learn the Gospel of Thomas is the actual words spoken by Yeshua son of Joseph and his message to put nothing between you and God so why the need to pray to Jesus on your death bed as the saviour and Messiah or the Pope who has the church passing around a basket of money when Yeshua say’s “Give to Ceasar what is Caesar's and give to God what is God’s and throws away money which we are told is the root of all evil. I believe the Bible has lies mixed with the truth to have a man as the head of the church when Yeshua specifically asked Mary Magdalene to take over his church after his death. There are so many secrets hidden from the masses to keep in power the Roman Empire switched the Sabbath to Sunday to unknowingly pay homage to Roman religious beliefs of praying to the God of the Sun Apollo and end every prayer with Amen to secretly pay homage to the Roman God Amun-Ra. I hope my faith one day ends the world inhumanity and people focus on the message in religion instead of the names of the prophets and how to teach the Muslim, Hebrew and Christian to live in Isreal in harmony with the deepest respect for each other's faith and how they choose to honour it. The Ottoman Empire has been the closest we ever had to all three becoming one as it reads in scripture. Do your own research and please read or listen to the Gospel of Thomas which starts by saying “These are the living teachings of Yeshua and whoever understands the meaning of these messages shall never taste death. K.E.Y.= Knowledge Empowers You. Investigate and share.
