Spirituality instead of Religion

Spirituality instead of Religion

Why didn't Jesus of Nazareth write down documents, teachings or gospels or let them write down, so that it could be delivered really identically onto future generations? Wasn't it at all times already like that, that one could falsify documents? And why should one not be able to falsify the teaching statements of the gospels? One has it to sufficiently done.

And if it is today maintained that God would have protected the "purity of his statements", then is that a pious desire, but not fact, because God leaves also the free will to the counterfeiter.

Because God respects the free will of each human - humans could make otherwise no errors - so God new that one could change his revelation and later the recordings. For this reason God selected a method, which could not be affected by any counterfeiter.     

Jesus himself did not write down anything for this reason, because he disclosed the chance to each successor that he will speak directly with him in his Inner Word, if he joins himself completely with him and accepted him in his inner being.   

Jesus pointed out how he understood the word: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". Therefore it means in John 5:19 "the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because what ever the Father does the Son also does.

John 5:37 "And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never   heard his voice nor seen his form,

John 5:38 nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent".

John 14:10 "The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work".

14:13 "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father".

14:14 „You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it".

14:15 „If you love me, you will do what I command".

14:16 „I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counsellor, the Spirit of truth, to be with you for ever".

14:17 „The world cannot accept this counsellor, because it neither sees him nor knows him.    But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

14:18 „I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you". (In the Inner word)

14:21 „Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him".     

14:23 "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teachings. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him". (By the Inner Word)

14:26 "But the Counsellor, the holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach    you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you".  

If the Holy Spirit will thus provide for ("He will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you"), than this states clearly that the successors of his teachings don't need to read in books, because they are reminded by his Inner Voice of everything what is necessary and important for them in any situation. Jesus never said: "Did you note everything that these statements may not get lost?" That is also not necessary, when the Holy Spirit is reminding his teachers and his further prophets of everything what Jesus has taught. 

From this can be recognized that it wasn't the will of God that documents are produced because those ones intellectuals and letters-people want to read only the words and calm their curiosity and think: "I know it, now therefore I am a Christian":

With this body of thoughts, which originated primarily from the church-teachers, very soon two ways already could be recognized: the inner way of the truth (II Peter) and the outer way -which from the beginning already didn't get along without ceremonies and rites - built up an outer "available" church.  

John 15:7 "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given you".  

John 15:26 "When the Counsellor comes, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me;

John 15:27 but you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning."

John 16:12 "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.

John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will        not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what jet to come is.

John 16:14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you." 

These passages are words of Jesus during his teaching activities and the proof why Jesus did not want a letter-church, but all his disciples and successors should be led by the Inner Word and experience personally the wisdom of God. They are wonderful words of the promise that we are not left alone and left to become orphans.

Jesus did surely not only meant his disciples at that time, because he suggested how he wants to lead his future communities in the world: by the assistance of the Holy Spirit.

Only on this way the Holy Spirit took and will  take from the teachings of Jesus and will lead the communities, which are on "His Way",  according to the word Jesus (John 14:6): "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." This paragraph "except through me" means: in the inner being, by the Inner Word, in which he himself acts and is presented, and not by an outer church.   

  

It was not at all the will of Christ that his teachings were written down and that the writings should be considered as source of the truth. If it would have been his will that his teachings were laid down in writing, then he would have expressed this clearly.  

It became a book in which everyone looks for the proofs for his teachings and also finds it.

There are today some hundred Christian religious communities. All differ in any faith teachings. Nevertheless all rely themselves on the New Testament, to proof their deviating teachings. Should the omniscient and all-wise God have intended a book for the pure source of the truth in which everybody finds its mistakes.  It would be a blasphemy also only to think this. 

 

Mahatma Gandhi liked to declare himself as a disciple of Jesus but not as Christian. "Disciple of Jesus is a spiritual matter. To be a Christian is in the conventional meaning a thing of a religion", he said.
