About this listen

“Jesus said, ‘Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All.’” This, spoken by the Master, was banned by the budding Christian Church 2,000 years ago, and is still deemed a heretical teaching to this day. It is not unlike the canonical New Testament gospels, but is of a deeper nature, one which the Church could not and does not understand. In this phrase told by Jesus and recorded in the heretical Gospel of Thomas a truer nature of reality is glimpsed. Eternal life is not a simple story for the good, it is complex and demanding, requiring effort, struggle, and contemplation.

This is the message of The Verbal Truth of Christianity, a short book effecting to bring you to the crux of the central message of all religions - the revealing of a truer nature of reality, the defining of God and the cosmos in believable and constructive terms and understanding the eternal soul when we come to see our greater natures.

It is so simple a message it is overlooked by the educated, yet so complex a message it takes lifetimes to see and comprehend. Eternal life not a pipe dream, it is a reality that each of us will one day obtain. Whether fear of the beyond is overcome in this life or in future times, our greater hurdle will be our ability to still the mind, create a world, live in that world, and find meaning in so doing. This is our challenge.

In Chapter 1 this book offers a greater explanation of what “life” is and sets a foundation for a more developed, elevated, meaningful, concept of “God”.

Chapter 2 opens with a short exploration of the time and place setting of the story of Jesus, making effort for determining who he was, what he said, why he said it, and further to sift out what he said that the Christian Church embraced, and what he said that the Church rejected. And more importantly, we will begin to see what the Church teaches that Jesus never said or taught.

In Chapter 3 we will briefly look at credible gospels of Jesus that the Church rejected then and still rejects now, primarily the “Gnostic” Gospel of Thomas lost to the ages until uncovered by chance in 1945.

Chapter 4 reconciles the canonical (New Testament) gospels of the Christian Church with legitimate rejected gospels that the Church deemed heretical (wrong teachings). From this, and with our more elevated understanding of life and who God is, a clear Jesus message emerges of which logic and understanding replaces the childlike message of “faith”.

In Chapter 5 we look at the sameness between the true Jesus message and other religions, philosophies, and sciences.

Chapter 6 puts it all together into a single unified message answering our purpose for being here in this world now and ahead.

Truth Or Consequences

The reader is difficult to understand and follow his meter for a US communicator in english.. There were no new revelations for anyone who is familiar with the writings about Jesus that Christian leaders decide not to include in The Holy Bible. I rate it tedious.
