I have beliefs that don’t fit in any church or religion.
1. I remember before I was born. That I know of, the only religion that comes close to that is the Mormons who believes that before we were born we were in a very nice place. We are sent here basically to earn our way back, however, they believe that you don’t remember it, well I do.
2. The Christians believe in a rapture that is to happen before Jesus returns, I agree, but believe that it already happened. I base this on a tour I took of the Catacombs of Rome while I was in the Navy. I was fortunate to have a real historian conduct our tour who gave us pretty much the history of the Roman empire. Rome murdered Christians horribly just for sport in their spectator stadium. To escape, the Christians hid down in the Catacombs. They etched things in the walls of the Catacombs like fish, birds, anchors and other strange things and he said, nobody really knows what those symbols mean. He said some will guess and think they know, but know body really knows. I thought that was really strange. One day the leader of Rome converts to Christianity and creates the Roman Catholic Church and makes himself the first pope, though their church history denies this and Rome goes from killing Christians to putting to death anyone who refuses to become Catholic.
Study the history of Christianity and the first organized church is the Roman Catholic Church and all churches that exist today have broken off from the Roman Catholic Church, well what happened to the Christians before that time? And why doesn’t anyone know why they etched fish, birds, anchors and other strange things into walls of the catacombs?
The Christian church teaches that Peter would be the rock of the church until Jesus returns, Christians believe this strongly today. I don’t know, it looks to me like that rock got broke, or did it. Maybe, now this is just an idea, the Christians that we don’t know a lot about, who hid in the Catacombs to escape persecution have been raptured into heaven.
This is what I figure happened. Word got to Alexander, the Catacombs were empty, we couldn’t find any Christians to capture to bring into the arena for our entertainment, could it be that Jesus did come back and get them? So Alexander and his advisors had to think fast, because if word got out that Jesus did come back and take his followers home there would be panic in the streets and the Roman empire could be toppled. So they came up with the bright idea of claiming to have converted, organize the church, make yourself the leader and should anyone disagree with your dictates, they are also disagreeing with God himself. So you could sweep this bit of history under the carpet and no one would dare question it or they would be tortured, imprisoned, and or killed.
That’s what I believe happened though I have no way to prove it. The only church I know of who comes close to that same belief is the Jehovah Witnesses and I have a friend who visits once a week teaching me the bible in hopes to convert me. They believe the rapture happened in World War I, or something like the rapture, that’s a little fuzzy, but maybe in time I’ll have a better understanding of that.
3. One day I decided that I would start over and stop believing everything I have ever been taught and start over, study for myself and discover for myself what I believe or not so I studied all the major religions and I must admit that unknowing to me, when it came to Islam I had studied the Christian version and it was “The Nation of Islam” and not the Islam religion. “The Nation of Islam” and “Muslim” is not the same, they are two different religions and I hadn’t read the Koran, but I did start reading it. I had read all the Gnostic scriptures that existed today and decided that the Gnostic were the true religion mainly because, they we’re not around anymore. Though some have tried to recreate Gnosticism and it is often referred to as New Age, a lot has been lost, many of their scriptures have been destroyed, so the new age is really guessing. I did however receive a message from someone saying that the Gnostic have moved underground and are now the Illuminati of today, well, I don’t know, I think that is just a smoke screen.
But anyways. The Gnostic believed in two Gods, they believed in a true God and a false god. Now if you believe their is a false god and a true God then you really only believe in One God, and that of course would be the True God because the false god would of course be false. But, because they claimed to believe in two Gods, they were wiped off the face of this earth for breaking the commandment where God commanded he was one. A sad misunderstanding and just an excuse to kill another. History tells of babies of Gnostic parents being hung from stakes.
The Gnostic believed that the false god created our bodies, but the body had no life, so the true God breathed into the body the soul and brought the body to life. Salvation for the Gnostic was to escape from this human body that we are trapped in and once again return to the true God. It made sense to me, so I decided that’s what I would believe.
Then one night I had this dream that told me that it was true that the false god created our body, but the false god also created our soul, but the true God takes us as if we were a ball of clay and makes us unto himself. That of-course goes against Gnostic teaching and that teaching I was given in a dream can be found no where that I am aware of.
So, this is why I am a man without a church or religion, but on my own out here. But I find truth in all religions, churches and teachings. I even believe that Mohammad was a true prophet of God. Because Mohammad teaches us of the spirit of the false Messiah who rules our world.
Some have tried to help me interpret this dream because they want me to join their church or religion, but what is there to interpret, pretty straight forward. My own father has tried to explain to me that I had been deceived by Satan, but since when does Satan deliver hope of salvation? I can show you many places in the bible where people have been guided by their dreams, but I don’t know anywhere in the the bible that Satan has deceived anyone with a dream.
