Before christianity, heaven was enlightenment(happiness, whatever ya wanna call it)
The church made people stop looking for heaven on earth by telling you this world is nothing and wait until the next one.
If this is completly against the rules of reasoning can someone tell me?
Sorry in advance
I believe this also. It has all been corrupted to control the masses, especially with fear. The church wants to keep a hierarchy as do many in our society do today. The have and have nots, creating dissension and discord making those with more look down upon those who do not have. Going within to search for enlightenment/love is our true purpose.
Maybe its unknown to some that Bob Marley put on Christ through the Church. Or are these criticisms of his proclamations intending to tarnish his memory since they are placed on a thread grieving his death?
The true church teaches that Christ's work effects that all may be priests and kings unto Jah. During the process this is being externally realized in time and physicality, a hierarchical order is a secondary effect. That there are abuses there is no denial. Still, the church affirms that the world is designed to support the kingly and priestly aim. That people have fallen from this higher calling only makes the world appear to be broken because of the abuse. But what is broken is our hearts. Not irreparably. The structure of the church is part of the greater meaning of the natural world in bold relief, fashioned according to the will of Jah for those who missed it. No matter how far one goes into spiritual blindness, there are plenty signs leading one back to communion with the living Jah; how can it not be when Jah is with us always? I think this is why the church renamed (which is the custom for those who seek baptism) Mr. Marley as "Berhane Selassie": The Light of the Trinity, because of the sweetness of his soul, and how his sharing of himself is illuminating to those graced to feel his vibes.
Before the incarnational church, and by this I'm speaking of the orthodox church of Christ, there already was corruption between people, tyrannical hierarchies, wars and such. There already were disconstructive systems that aimed to keep people from obtaining universal kingship and priesthood, all put into place by ignoble and unhappy regimes. These false personalities and society mentalities are part of the problem we must eradicate within ourselves, as we the stewards proclaim His Kingdom. People are still under the influence so-to-speak. And the church does not shut its doors to such who are seeking the Way of bodily and soul healing from the sting of death, so these mentalities do brutally show themselves still. The church is not the cause of these things, she's the mother doctor willing to stay with the sick kids while they recover, even if the life-threatening disease is contagious. The physicality of the church is the extension of Christ's living divine physicality into nature, which he entered into as a Lover, so that the whole world is redeemed and uplifted. This is seen through her luminaries such as Berhane Selassie who shine as light and life.
All this being said, the work that has been started and forwarded til now is still not complete, and when it's done, only then we will have "Christianity". At this point we don't have it, although it is truly available. When it is accepted, the world of broken hearts will be destroyed, and renewed unto paradise where hearts are filled with One Love, which is a gift to us. It is our responsibility to prefigure this to the degree that we can in the meantime.
Last but not least, its important to sight that the church operates under captivity and that death is a temporary remedy to what otherwise would be prevailing, eternal, evil. This should not move ones away from compassion. Also, those who are enlightened of themselves are the same as have already come and gone, ambitious, sophisticated and clever. Enough suffering. Praise Jah. Keep faith and be the sign. Bob's the proof of the Living Reality.
