The other day I was met by a born-again Christian handing out pamphlets on the woodland nature walk at Westville Dam. She was an older lady walking her cute little dog. Let’s just say I did not handle this constant barrage of her incessant indoctrination intrusion well on my peaceful walk.
I challenge anyone who thinks they were more indoctrinated in Christianity than I have been for the first 50 years of my life.
This is the reason I was so bothered by this person who thought it was her job to save my soul, as if I only took her pamphlet, continued communicating with her, went to her church, had an altar call, and professed my life of Jesus with hands raised in an auditorium with people getting slain in the spirit all over the floor, then and only then would I be saved.
Because that’s what Jesus said to do, right?
Wrong.
In my spiritual journey, it seems I did all of the wrong things first. I literally already did all of those things. Please know that there is more to know.
I still had more questions after 50 years of religious study of many religions because every Christian denomination ONLY talks about 3 YEARS of the life of Jesus, as if that is all you need to know. Jesus said many more words that conflict with most religions today.
Hiding important information is where the indoctrination starts. Most of the time, the indoctrination is not in anything they say. The indoctrination is the knowledge that they keep away from you. Current religious leaders may not know that they even they are indoctrinated because of the threats to their (and your) immortal souls creates such fear that they don’t want anyone to go to hell.
Trust me this fear is alive and well in the year 2026. The woman who was badgering me beyond belief was so filled with fear that she was yelling so as to “save my soul.”
What she did not know, is that her, your, and my souls never die. Every person in humanity is alive by their soul because it is fueled by Eternal Universal Life Force Energy which never dies. The Laws of Thermodynamics prove this when they say that energy cannot be started or ended. It can only be changed.
There are more words that Jesus Christ spoke because he was alive for more than 3 years from his ages 30 to 33. Have you read them, especially if you dare to call yourself a Christian?
I did find where Jesus lives, but it is not in stone cold buildings. Jesus actually told the Pharisees when they asked when the “Kingdom of God” would come. He said you will not find it here or there, but that this Kingdom of God, this the living eternal spirit of “God,” that animates every living, breathing person, regardless of belief system, is within you, as Jesus said in Luke 17:20-21.
I know, your bible might say that the Kingdom of God is “among” you. That is what the translators of the bible were made to make it say, according to Mauro Biglino who is an Italian scholar, translator and best-selling author for Mondadari, one of the major publishing houses in Italy.
During Biglino’s career, he directed and supervised the translation and publication of 17 books of the Old Testament for Ediziori San Paulo, Italy’s main Catholic publisher, whose Vatican-approved texts are used in theological, ancient Hebrew, and biblical studies schools and universities.
Biglino said that often the words they were translating were changed to go along with what they were told to make it say, not what the words actually meant, such as the word “among,” in Luke 17:20-21.
This was such an egregious error that today’s bibles, including the New King James Bible, is putting the original word, “within,” in place of “among,” so this scripture says what Jesus meant it to say, which is, “The Kingdom of God is within you.”
This “Kingdom of God,” is your soul. It is the fuel of your spirit, without which you would be dead. You are made with a spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy, for those science-minded individuals among us. Energy can never die or be stopped, as the Laws of Thermodynamics teach. Energy, as in your soul, can only be changed, or go back to its Source, what religious people call God.
Jesus called it poverty for humanity to not know this. Jesus said so many more things to help a spiritually crippled human race know how to survive indoctrination of all kinds.
I suggest you read all the words of Jesus, many of which can be found in the Nag Hammadi Scriptures, including: The Secord Revelation of James, The Gospel of Truth, The Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Thomas, The Secret Book of James, The Origin of the World, The Dialogue of the Savior, The Apocalypse of Adam, for starters.
Only after you have read what else Jesus the Christ had so say, then you can call yourself a Christian.
This is what I will share with the old woman with the cute little dog on the Westville Dam paths should I met with her again. Everyone needs to know this if they claim to want to talk about Jesus.
