Secrets of God - A Journey to the Roots of Mystical Christianity (Paperback)

Have you noticed a multitude of inconsistencies, gaps and logical lapses in the Bible? Have you ever questioned the teachings of your church that did not make any sense, only to be told that they are to be taken on faith? Did you wonder why the All-Powerful and Loving God allows so much of horrible suffering in the world? Are you still looking for your life purpose or for a spiritual adventure? Then you are ready for this book. "Secrets of God" explores early mystical Christian teachings, focusing on the Gospel of Thomas. It turns out that Christianity started as a mystery religion, with three levels of initiation and hundreds of gospels in circulation. Jesus' main purpose was not to start a new religion, but to help others to become like him. Christianity was merely a plan B... Emperor Constantine's re-engineering of Christianity for his own purposes led to destruction of the majority of these gospels. What was left after Empire-wide book burning? Not much - just the first level of Christianity. A serendipitous 1945 Nag Hammadi find of a treasure trove of lost Christian writings included many well-preserved texts such as Gospel of Thomas and Gospel of Mary Magdalene. Here is your chance to explore the second level of Christianity. Enjoy the journey
