The fact that we have lived unrepentant and disobedient for ages is why we are here.

Let's unpack this.

Who told you that? Do you honestly believe that the guiding hand wouldn’t have been able to guide us if only we had been more “repentant?” Who exactly did we “disobey?”

Before I begin, I will say I think the bible holds tremendous wisdom within it. If used for the purposes of gaining an appreciation of life, the universe, and everything such appreciation can be extracted from it. The teachings of Jesus especially hold such value.

But let’s go through some history.

The bible was created three centuries after the time attributed to Jesus. It was created by a group that was formed under the direction of Emperor Constantine, a self proclaimed worshiper of the Sun God (known as Lucifer in some cultures, Horus in others, Ba’al in others) who murdered his wife and child. He wanted to unite the disparate Roman Empire under his rule and he felt the best way to do that was by creating a single Religion that united the various beliefs sufficiently that it captured them all.

This unifying Religion included Christian beliefs from numerous sects, Gnostics, Pagans, Druids, even some Judean beliefs. He then created the book, and codified the beliefs into law. Prior to that the belief of Jesus as God (in a unique sense, not as “Jesus is God because we all are a part of God” (AKA the divine spark)) was not widely held. The idea of the Trinity wasn’t even a belief until 60 years after the bible was written and then it was also codified into law, requiring that all the people believe it to be true or face the penalties.

The Nicene Creed is a constant restatement of those beliefs, like a programming. It is also a constant reminder of that Authority that was asserted 400 years after the time attributed to Jesus. It was created by, and has continuous programming by decree of the same Authority, and no one bats an eyelash at the possible fuckery involved there.

The bible itself was formed from a body of earlier works, though it left out the majority of them. Some of the books have had meaningful edits. People often tout the similarities of Isiah between today and the dead sea scroll version and say “See, here is proof of divinity of the bible.” Then they ignore the fact that many other books are not so clearly translated as similarly, nor have they themselves actually performed the translation they tout as "Proof". They ignore the fact that people who disagree with that assessment are called heretics, which is the word that was created to prevent people from questioning Church Authority, just like "conspiracy theory' is used today to keep people from having other thoughts than the official ones. People ignore the fact that most of the books that could have been added to the bible were left out. NO one can agree on who wrote Revelations (i.e. one of the main books that ties it all together and asserts the divinity of the bible), and anyone who thinks it wasn’t John, no matter the evidence is also called a heretic.

The book was written by a true Authoritarian, for the purposes of exerting Complete Authority. It even set him up as a God-Emperor (AKA ruler by divine right). It set the stage for a major part of The Matrix that (obviously) still holds tremendous power today. I suggest perhaps the reason that you would assign your "saving" over to something else is because you were trained to believe that is the only way.

You are a piece of What Is. You are the only ruler of that Part of You That Is. Your life is precious, and it is Yours.

Anyone who tells you differently is selling you something.
