Thought I would post this nice article that explains the truth the churches "sugarcoated".....
[Stargods] CHRIST IN US
Okay let's take a look at the story of Humpty Dumpty. Take the story literally and you have a lot of logical problems to deal with. When you realize it is a allegory for higher knowledge, then you realize that the story is much deeper and less shallow. You then will realize that the story is about the Roman Empire that fell and could never be put back together again. Christian fundamentalist literalists would insist that the story is about a literal egg-man that fell and broke. Doing this they miss out on the deep knowledge and teaching.
If one views Jesus as an allegory and not a literal historical god-man, then one rises to greater and deeper levels of knowledge. But if one insists that he was a literal God-man on earth, then your relationship with God runs shallow and you will continue to spin your wheels in church. You will be stuck with a shallow faith based on doctrines of men and ritual rather than Christ. You will then be allowing corrupt flesh to lead and control you. The truth is that Jesus was never a God-man on earth. He was always in us and had no part in corrupted flesh and matter.
The reality is that Christ is spirit and is in you. Christ in us leads us back to the Father from which we are separated from by fallen and corrupted flesh. Our spirit selves long to be free of this prison of flesh and to be with the Father in spirit.
Believers look to the outside world of fallen matter for direction. They look to old and altered writings of men and dead churches seeking the answers of life. They are unaware that it is what is in us that leads us to all truth. That is Christ in us which has nothing to do with the physical world of fallen flesh. It is Christ that leads us to all truth and a deeper walk with our Father.
Christ was not a physical man that suddenly had a beginning and a violent end. The real Christ has been with us since the beginning of time and has guided his children to the Father from the womb.
Some believe that only the blood of Jesus can save us from our sins. Only in a human sacrifice to God could our sins be forgiven. Only through the brutal beating, torture, and crucifixion of Christ could our sins be forgiven. This is so wrong and so deceptive.
The gospels are meant to teach us higher truths and are not meant for those asleep in the churches. The gospels are hidden mysteries revealed though a revelation of Gnostic knowledge from Christ in us. "And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given." Matt 13:10-11
Jesus did not literally die for our sins. He died symbolically to the flesh in order to resurrect us to new knowledge in the spirit. As believers we must wakeup from this "physical" illusion and be resurrected in the knowledge of who we really are, and that is spirit men and women trapped in corrupted flesh. Spirits trapped in a material world seeking to be with the Father once again. After this awaken one then stops living for the flesh and begins to live for the spirit and preparing for that day of great release from our prison of flesh.
To believe in a literal torture and crucifixion of Jesus for our sins is folly. God does not need to splatter his son's blood on a cross for forgiveness of sins. Frankly speaking this is the act of a blood thirsty god who appeases his hunger through a human sacrifice. What about all those that died before the crushing of Jesus? Are they lost forever? Or do we believe that the Law actually saved them? Do you want the higher truth? Well here we go.
The higher truth is that if God is truly our Father, then if we ask him out of a sincere heart for forgiveness, he will then gladly forgive us freely. The fact is that for all his children who are of the light, we are forgiven out of God's love alone. Note that there is no forgiveness for the dark spirits who have taken flesh and are among us only to kill, steal, and destroy. They live for the flesh and do not have Christ within.
Asking to receive Christ into your life is rather silly when you understand that all the children of God have Christ within them already from birth. Right from the womb we are being lead back to the Father by the spirit of Christ in us! It is not about doctrines, rules, churches, preachers, religion, or anything else outside of us.
Clinging to a dead Jesus and a bloody human sacrifice to appease God brings death. Clinging to Christ within is a resurrection to a new life in the spirit. The only truth is Christ in us setting us free and leading us back to the Father! Christ in us, the hope and glory.
