I’m going to have to respectively disagree with you here, fren.
While Blavatsky's teachings are open to various interpretations, she did express views that suggest a significant difference between her understanding of Jesus and the traditional Christian perspective:
"The Christ that is in me is not the Jesus of the Church." - Helena Blavatsky, "The Secret Doctrine"
"The 'Son of Mary,' as a man, is the personal property of the Christians, but the 'Christ' is the 'Son of God,' the common property of every Initiate." - Helena Blavatsky, "Isis Unveiled"
"The Christ of the Churches is but a puny imitation of the Grand Ideal of the Inner God in man." - Helena Blavatsky, "The Secret Doctrine"
"It is not Jesus, the man of Nazareth, but what he is generally taken for [God in the flesh], that we quarrel with." - Helena Blavatsky, "The Secret Doctrine"
“The ‘Church’ is ever ready to sell her birthright of divine truth for the mess of pottage of human dogma.” - Helena Blavatsky, “The Key to Theosophy”
“The ‘Christ principle’ is universal and eternal, and the ‘Son of God’ but one of its various manifestations.” - Helena Blavatsky, “The Secret Doctrine”
“The ‘Christ-spirit’ is always seeking to incarnate in humanity and to express itself through the instrumentality of a purified and regenerated people.” - Helena Blavatsky, “The Secret Doctrine”
These quotes suggest that while Blavatsky acknowledged Jesus as an important spiritual figure, she saw him in a significantly different light from the traditional Christian view, emphasizing a more symbolic or universal interpretation of his teachings and role. To put it plainly, she viewed him as an ascended master.
This is the New Age occult/Gnostic teachings that are entirely incompatible with Historical Orthodox Christianity.
From a former Christian’s point of view who happens to reconcile with your conclusion about who Christ was/is traditionally and the “New Age” teachings?
-Vatican is controlled by and worship malevolent extraterrestrials pretending to be God/s
-Church tells people that ALL extraterrestrials are Satanic/Demonic.
Question: Who/what are Christians truly worshiping, believing as their Savior?
I am trying to present the information(s) in the link to layperson with none to rudimentary background in religion, can and will you make any suggestion(s) to make it easier to understand so it is not “wanting”. From your response it looks like you have a deeper/better concept of the background information about Christ/Christianity.
This is a well meaning comment and request. Thank you.
Seems like the majority of your diatribes are pointed at the Catholic Church. You might not find much disagreement with me on that issue. But you do make some claims without any supporting evidence that appear to be foundational for much of your position on the formation of the biblical cannon. Let's discuss some of those.
Jesus (Christianity) is created by the Vatican
Hopefully you're not implying that Jesus didn't even exist here, are you?
Also, Christianity existed long before the Catholic Church or Councils did. So it appears you have the cart before the horse here.
The early Christian community already had a high view of Jesus divinity long before the Councils came around. Even according to your own research the Muratorian Canon which is dated roughly around 170AD shows the high view of Jesus' divinity already in existence.
In the Muratorian Canon, Jesus is repeatedly referred to as “Lord” (Romans 10:9; Acts 2:36; Jude 17) and is equated with God (John 1:1–3; 20:28; Philippians 2:6–8). He took on human flesh (John 1:14; 1 John 4:2), died in the place of sinners (1 Corinthians 15:3), and was soon raised bodily from the dead (Luke 24:36–40; Acts 1:3; 2:24–35; 1 Corinthians 15:4). A person can find forgiveness of sins only through faith in Him (John 6:47; Acts 13:38–39; Galatians 2:15–16).
These central doctrines represented Christian orthodoxy for the early (before the major Councils) church. The existence of the Muratorian Canon demonstrates that, well before the New Testament canon was officially recognized, early Christians already had access to authoritative documents carrying apostolic authority. It was from these apostolic books and letters that the early believers derived their central beliefs about the person and atoning work of Jesus Christ.
So your assertion that the Catholic Church created and was responsible for the deification of Jesus kind of falls on its face right at the start.

What is your source for this outlandish claim? Remember, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - and don't simply point to your 656 page PDF as your "evidence." Give us some concrete evidence.

The link below points out a layperson overview on the origins of Christianity - the processes how this came about thru the “bishops”/apostolic succession etc. https://greatawakening.win/p/17sP1rNxpr/house-of-godthose-who-you-trust-/c/
Everything in that link has been throughly dealt with and left wanting.
Anywhere specific you’d like to start?
