There's evidence that Jesus travelled to India and Tibet in his younger years, there where the bible says he was a carpenter during those years. There's many video's on this subject. Here are just two:

This is important to know because it helps us to understand what Jesus really meant with that you have to go through him to enter the Kingdom of God. What this really means is that you have to become ego-less (like Jesus) to enter the Kingdom of God.
In Eastern traditions this is often referred to as ego-death or Enlightenment. And to achieve ego-death we need to go within. "Know Thyself" and "The Kingdom of God is Within" is what Jesus said.
Praying really hard to God and Jesus and accepting Jesus as your saviour will not get you out of the reincarnation process. And yes, there is evidence that Jesus originally spoke about reincarnation as well. But obviously the TPTB did not want to empower the people and therefore they would have had enough motivation to scrap reincarnation from the bible.
If you don't achieve ego-death, like Jesus, in this lifetime you don't have to worry. As long as you did not live your life in a completely selfish manner, you will go back to that place called heaven and then after a while you decide to reincarnate again. Even if you do end up in hell (which will feel like an eternity) you will get a chance again to redeem yourself. Even our brothers and sisters from the darkside were created by God.
Don't let dogmatic believers convince you that you only have one chance. People saying you only have one chance should have a good hard look at themselves. Instilling people with fear is not a good thing and is not what God and Jesus are about.
Asserting that "there is evidence" without providing such is not reasonable. and claiming that Jesus the Christ said things that are not recorded is at best misleading. Using the boogy man of TPTB for not publishing according to your claims is intellectual cowardice. Jesus is the Christ, the long foretold kinsman redeemer, and He himself claimed that HE is the only way.
If you wish to have a discussion, craft your arguments properly. If you only want to incite believers then you are clearly a tool of Satan and will be damned for all eternity
Yes let's just listen to authority again... Don't think for yourself!
If the last years have shown us something, it's that it's always best to defer your power to something else. Let's blindly follow authority!
Men are women! Science proves it! Listen to authority figures!
Most of the major corporations, governments, and celebrities are pushing this "Christ consciousness" new age Christianity. You're the one following Earthly authorities here.
I'm not following these people. They're pushing a watered down version of what it means to go within and know thyself.
I'm not saying you're following them directly, however your beliefs from everything you've said so far in this post and comments aligns pretty closely with what we see coming from the mainstream New Age movement. It seems from what I can tell that you believe one of their narratives whether you mean to or not.
That said, a number of your criticisms of Christianity have been absolutely factual and accurate. However I would argue that those problems in Christianity come directly from people purposely infiltrating it and corrupting it. This is why you see the worst of the worst like Joel Osteen, TD Jakes, Hillsong, etc leaning toward exactly the kind of beliefs you're describing.
You’re not seriously comparing literal GOD to earthly “authority figures” are you???
God did not write the bible. Christians constantly referring to the bible as the word of God and therefore the bible should not be questioned, is the same as what the leftists have been doing. Everyone needs to shut up and follow authority.
