God Is Not For Sale — Part 2: The Silenced Teachings of Jesus
What if the crucifixion wasn’t what we’ve been told?
Have you ever asked yourself why they would crucify a man — and then build the world’s largest religion in his name?
What if the real teachings of Jesus were in direct opposition to priests, bishops, and church fathers? If the kingdom is within, why is a priest needed?
And do you think it’s just coincidence that the earliest Christians — the ones we now call “Gnostics” — said the same thing?
The real question is this: Do you want direct access to God, or do you want a middleman?
The Early Christians Who Remembered
The people we now call “Gnostics” weren’t some fringe cult. They were early Christians — men and women in the first generations after Jesus who carried his message of direct access to God.
They taught that the spark of the Divine lives in everyone. That God is Father, Mother, and Son. That Sophia is wisdom, not heresy. That salvation is awakening, not obedience to hierarchy or redemption of sin. And that’s not all they taught that would set the church on it’s ear.
It wasn’t heresy. It was Christianity before the business took over.
The Apocryphon of John
One of the most powerful of these early Christian texts is called the Apocryphon of John — “the Secret Revelation of John.”
In it, John is grieving after Jesus’ death when a radiant being of light appears. The being says:
“I am the Father. I am the Mother. I am the Son.”
Right there, at the heart of Christianity’s earliest writings, is a vision of God as fullness — not Father-only, but Father-Mother-Son.
It’s no wonder the church suppressed it. This wasn’t just theology. It was a direct challenge to the hierarchy that made God male, priests the gatekeepers, and women silent.
And it continues.
Irenaeus: The Arsonist of Awakening
Around 180 CE, Bishop Irenaeus decided the early Christians who carried Jesus’ message of direct access to God were too dangerous to let live.
His book Against Heresies branded them enemies of the faith — and gave the church its script:
Truth flows down from authority, not up from within. Patriarchy 101.
Redemption matters more than awakening.
Women have no spiritual authority.
He didn’t just argue. He lit the match that turned awakening into heresy. Literally.
Thousands of people were burned alive for believing they could have direct access to God.
That’s insane. The church did that. And it’s not ok.
The Silencing
They didn’t just argue. They erased.
Writings destroyed.
Teachers hunted down.
Communities scattered.
The survivors buried their texts in the desert of Egypt — hiding away the teachings of a Jesus who awakened, not controlled.
Those voices lay underground for almost 2,000 years. Until Nag Hammadi, 1945. Until now.
And if you think this sounds like fringe conspiracy? It isn’t. Bart Ehrman — one of the most respected historians of early Christianity, and later a key voice in bringing the Gospel of Judas to light — explains it clearly.
This isn’t theory. This is history — and it’s blood on the church’s hands.
The Blood Trail
The church wasn’t satisfied. The church.
Centuries later, the Cathars in France carried a similar current — rejecting the church’s authority, honoring the feminine, and claiming direct access to God.
The response was the same: crusades, massacres, inquisitions. Entire communities wiped out because they dared to remember what the institution, the church, tried to bury — that no priest or pope is needed, and that women carry spiritual authority too.
The church didn’t just erase ideas. It erased lives — to secure its monopoly on God.
The Real Risk
The real risk is simple: the church cannot be trusted.
It became a business that needed you to believe you were separate from God — so it could sell you access back. That is not what Jesus taught.
Another risk? A church that kills people who disagree with it. A church that erased the very teachings of the man it claimed to follow — and built the world’s largest religion on his name.
That’s not faith. That’s control. And it’s blood on their hands.
The Now
The church of today may not burn people at the stake — but it was built on the same foundation.
The business model remains:
Politicians slapping “Christian” on their campaigns.
Pastors wielding fear like scripture.
Institutions selling belonging while crucifying truth.
Different methods. Same roots. Same distortion. Same counterfeit god.
The Invitation
The foundation is clear: fear, hidden truth, death and violence, control, and business.
But what was buried has resurfaced. The forgotten gospels are speaking again. And the truth Jesus carried has never disappeared: the kingdom is within you.
My intention isn’t to tell you what to believe. It’s to clear the distortion. To put the silenced voices back on the table. And more than anything, to extricate Jesus — and his real teachings — from the mess the church made of him.
At the heart, it comes down to this:
Do you believe you can have a direct relationship with God, or not?
And if you’re unsure, then ask the only question that matters: What did Jesus actually say about that?
What Comes Next
And we haven’t even touched the deepest crack in the foundation.
When the Gospel of Judas resurfaced, it carried a revelation so explosive the church buried it for centuries.
That’s the bomb we’re about to drop next.
