Like all organizations the also churches have two principal interests: Self-preservation and expansion. Self-preservation by the fact that they declare themself as the only spiritual salvation for the man. However massive leavings of the churches hardly raise the churches hopes on expansion in foreseeable future . There is no doubt about churches do many positive projects and are a support to many people. If views, decisions or documents of the churches are seen as absolutes, these people give up a part of their independent thinking. The churches know this and they demand many times this obedience: "I believe in the sacred Roman Catholic church." or: "I believe with confidence what your church teaches, be it written or not because you have declared it." from a German Roman Catholic hymn.

This arose, in a time when a woman only valid as a thing. God is the Father, as if God is a human being like us. Also the complete trinity upon which the Christianity builds itself is male. Father, son and holy spirit. Somewere there is the alibi femininity, too: Maria In many Christian groupings Maria may not be adored at all. This Maria doesn't have any own power but only functions as a petitioner between man and "male-God". If the trinity of father, son and holy spirit would be understood as an allegory, (similarly like in the Islam "this loving, the lover and the love") it could be understood as "the giving, the receiving and the gift". And the faith would come loose of the childlike faith scheme of a "male-God" and a sun to his right. Then every man ready to receive could be the "son".

No other conviction has led to so much disaster, as the faith in the superiority the own faith. This elite thinking makes it impossible to build a bridge to an other religion. And than to recognize that the innermost thoughts of that other religion are just the same as of the own. As long as a faith is obtained on a person this bridge cannot be built up either, because it then is only this person who brings the release. But it is still be done, even if this person a life times has fought against this personality cult.

Matthew 10:5-6: These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost of Israel."
Matthew 10:23: When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
Matthew 15:24: He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel"

These quotations show that the primarily confines of Jesus were about Israel and the Jews.
Also can be seen here, that Jesus didn't have any missionary intentions. These sentences are in the clear contradiction to the Paul's letters. Paul has never seen the person Jesus, his letters just base on his imagination of Jesus. Whereas Matthew knew Jesus well. Where contradictions are there are also choices. We can put Jesus into this roll or not. We can also see the possibility, that every human being can change itself, by following shining examples like Jesus, Zarathustra, Mohamed, Buddha and Krishna. All of them where giving and forgiving and loved even those who hated them.

If we consider God as our father as Christianity does, then all men are sons of God and all women daughters of God. (As mentioned already, it is already a detraction if we grant God only paternal, not however maternal aspects). Actually there are several passages from the Bible which points there is not only one son of God. (Here the daughters were forgotten again.)

Roman 8:14: because those who are led by the spirit of god are sons of God.
Mat 5:9: blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

When we see Jesus as a brother instead of as the Lord, we raise him trom his high throne the churches built him to make him unattainable for the common people. Jesus wanted be a man like every different one so that the other people recognizes they can be also like him.

This reminds, of archaic religions where God has to be calmed down by human sacrifices. A terrible God picture!
"Jesus has been crucified for you and you aren't ready to accept his present" is one most frequent used sentences of Christian missionaries.
An red Indian responded to this once: "I don't feel guilty, how you have handled him. If he would have come to us, we would have taken him joyfully".
Here is been worked by making a guilty feeling to others. The effect (crucifixion) happens before the cause (our sins) which is already very doubtful. Besides that, here is also taken the possibility away from us to take the consequences of our faults ourselves. If we however consider sin as a necessary growing process of the soul which is be done by unripe souls (we all have an unripe soul at least to some extend), then sin is no longer bad. Because it is a preliminary stage to the maturity.
However what would it be like, if all our sins would be forgiven. We wouldn't reap what we sowed. A spiritual growing then would hardly be possible.
Secondly a crucifixion is certainly gruel, however thousands of people have been murdered similarly gruel. An many of them in the name of Jesus. In no other name at all was murdered more, was tortured more and suppressed more, on this world.
Of course Jesus is not guilty for that. Guilty are human beings which thought it's enough to declare the belief in Jesus and then not to worry about the own behaviour and it's consequences.
So seen this dogma holds a great danger.

Here is already a contradiction, how could an all-powerful God have a counter-power?
Why do we need fall guy, who is responsible for the mistakes which we have made (or: should have been made)?
Of course this is a more comfortable way to put on him the responsibility for our own faults!
If we assume nevertheless there would be a devil, then God's boundless love wouldn't even stop before this creature.
And also our task: "You shall love your enemies" is clear. It is the light that shines into the darkness, never the darkness into the light.
A hell is been created by man himself if he likes, a devil isn't required for this. Unfortunately the world is fully of such examples. And if we love the hell are we in heaven again. Also to this there are fortunately examples again and again.
A hell experience always can be always been changed into a heaven experience by love. On the other side of both there is the God experience. Jesus described it as oneness with God.

Genesis 1:31: God saw all that he had made, and it was good...
Book of wisdom 11:24-12:1: You love everything that is and detest nothing of everything which you have made. Because if you would have hated it you would not have created it. Nothing culd exist without your will, or how could anything be sustained that you have not created. You save everything because it is your property because in all there is your infinite spirit.

Te snake tempted Eva, who picked the apple of the tree of the cognition of good and bad and gave it to Adam to eat. They recognized the duality of good and bad and were expelled from the paradise, the beyond, therefore. This paradise this is described in this mythology like an original state of being "beyond good and bad". The divine view which looks behind the façade of the incompleteness. We are in the duality on this side of good and bad. And it's our estimation, what is good and what is bad. Even if in almost all cultures about definite things the views are the same it is nevertheless an orientation of latitude and longitude grid that the man made about the things around for himself and for others. This cognition offers the man choices. If we just would get what we describe "good" in our live, we would get bored progressively. A projection needs the darkness of the canvas. Without darkness light couldn't be recognized as light. Well, both must always exist next to each other in this world. The paradise is an inner condition. The condition of the unconditional love. This condition however doesn't offer protection against sorrow either: the suffering of compassion. Who loves is in the paradise. The pure heart enables to the God show. God doesn't exclude us from the paradise, we do it.

The large churches have fortunately dissociated themselves from this dogma more nowadays. It still gets learned in many more fundamental Christian communities. It means that the man already at his birth is guilty. He inherited the fault of the expulsion from the paradise. All of us know the feeling when we made a mistake and the fear to be punished for this from our childhood. We surely also know when children competing: "If you do something for me, then I don't say what you have done ". By feelings of guilt people get steer able. By thoughts as "we are bad from the ground of our being" as is taught by many sects, people slill get more steer able.

Judas is one of the persons in the Christianity had to serve at the most as a scapegoat after the mythological persons of the devil as well as Adam and Eva. Judas bears the fault in the eyes of many Christians at the death by crucifixion of Jesus. Incompatible is this view with the passage from the Bible:

Mat 26:53-54: or don't you think my father would immediately send angels to me more than twelve legions if I ask him for this? How were the document after which it must happen so then fulfilled, however?

At the same time this is condemnation, mention a man to a traitor. The principle: "Do not judge so you will not be judged" is injured here clearly. Who of us can "throw the first stone"? Our whole society based on the discrimination other nations. We do a collective be-trayal, whether we want to admit this or not.

Has the death by crucifixion of Jesus been avoidable without the "traitor"? Were would the Christianity be today, which is so much based on self-sacrifice and the resurrection? How-ever, we also could imagine a Judas which didn't betray Jesus out of the money's interests.

May be he tried Jesus by force to demonstrate his abilities to make him by that a worldly king as ruler of a state Judea. Then his suicide then makes sense, because about the money had he accomplished his aim but not about regarding the desire of a Judea with Jesus as the king.

At first before we understand liberation we have a look at the opposite: bondage.
Every man is constrained in bondages in various regard.
We move within physical and biological legitimacies of which we cannot escape.
We cannot stop aging or lift the gravity.
We then are in social and moral legitimacies from which we can break out up to a certain degree. But if we do this too far we load much trouble on us.
Then there are things which we can alternatively regard as a lack of freedom or as a beautiful task: For example family and work.
We are not free, if we do what we like to do, but then if we like what we have to do.
Then there is also an inner lack of freedom: Compulsions, addictions, feelings of guilt, alone reproaches, pangs of conscience etc.
If the Bible speaks about liberation it is about the liberation of our sins.
For we can work much good but our sins would not make us liberated in the end anyway.
If we don't be released by a releaser, we will remain separated by God.
Who or what then will separate us from God? The question could also be: Who or what separates us from God now? What if I don't sin now in the moment? If my former sins do count now, then God would be no God of the presence but a God of the past and moreover a repaying God.
If the man in the allegorical meaning is made as the image of God, he then has the same qualities as God.
Then our illusion separates us from God. This one the real lack of freedom is therefore the illusion of the separation from God. Who is now responsible for this illusion? Every single being alone. And because we have a free thinking, this illusion cannot been taken away by God or any releaser as long as we hold it tight because the illusion doesn't hold us tight.

This is a very daring forecast in view that unknown Indian tribes in the Amazon area were discovered at the end of the twentieth century. What about these peoples before? Missionaries then catch up in bulk to the christianising these peoples. They have Bibles in the luggage but no understanding about the other culture. In the past christianising often took place in very unchristian ways. Accompanying phenomena were the destruction and exploitation of the Incas empire, the crusades to Israel and the slave trade in Africa. Was it so wrong when these peoples didn't submit to the religion of the new power race? These power race didn't give an example in their lives for the inner values of the own faith.

What about children of other faiths who had died? Did they have an honest chance to assume others faith? How it stands with embryos that were aborted? A human fault? Perhaps, but what about fertilized human egg cells of which less than every second will survive till birth?

On the answer: "They get a confess change at the other side to choose the correct religion"

follow just new questions:
On which experiences can they build at this decision?
And what did they have to be saved of when they have never had a change to make a mistake?

Where the experiences of these few weeks in the embryonic condition enough? According to the motto: "One lives only once": Yes. According to this faith for more than every second soul the humane experience is being refused except of this embryonic time. Being human is frequent de-fined as "free will" shouldn't this apply to the soul on it's journey much more free will?

A couple of Bible quotations about this, to think about:

Maleachi, cape. 3, verse 23

Lukas, cape. 9, verse 18-21

Matthäus, cape. 17, verse 10-13

Who provides his views with a halo by the fact that he refers to a "holy scripture" tries to ennoble himself this way. And he tries by that to show others that their opinion and their explanations don't count because he knows a "higher power" on his side.
