so many many books from our 'bible' have been either altered, misinterpreted or outright left out thanks to Nicaean councils that we can't even be certain that we're getting the entire story.
still, just my opinion, Satan does rule this world and cheats those of us who enter his domain with death. Jesus was here to show us how to conquer death and be peaceful, loving beings in the process.
I honestly told my daughter as young child to 'read only the red words' in a Bible I gave her that quotes Christ. She's gone further now but understands why, as a malleable child, I gave that advice.
Christ IS the way but too many are deluded with the miasma that surrounds his words.
Personally, I hope that when all is revealed we can finally learn the Truth Truth about Jesus time on Earth and the full story of his life. I think it will help redefine Christianity as we know it and lead to many ascending to the 5D Heaven where our essence already exists anyway.

It is true that the bible has been altered, which is why I always reference back to "The Great Bible of 1539" or also known as "The Kings Bible" which is the first English Bible translated from the original Hebrew and Greek Scrolls. Henry VIII mandated it, as at this time out of Germany came the "Tyndale Bible" that was filled with flaws. Henry wanted a Bible that was not only closer to the true teachings but one that the common people could read and understand. The Great Bible of 1539 predates the King James by 72 years. The King James Bible was the first Bible to be altered ( by removing 7 books from the original Bible) that was widely accepted.

Tis true ... God has always only had one people. Those faithful few who trust *and* obey him.

When the leadership of *national* Israel finally rejected Him .. even going so far as to have him crucified they lost their covenanted 'most favored nation' status.

As Jesus said to the Pharisee, leaving the temple for the last time. "YOUR house is left to you desolate"

Whereas prior to that moment Jesus had referred to the temple as MY FATHER's house.

It was then that the *nation state* of Israel ceased spiritual legitimacy in God's eyes. His covenant w/ them broken *by them*.

There would no longer be 'Jew, Greek, rich, poor, bond, or free' but ONLY those who gathered under the saving protection of the sacrificial wings of JESUS' love and forgiveness.
