Few people know that orthodox Christianity is very different from its beginnings. In truth, you and I, in past lives, slowly transformed it into a ritual-based 'Sunday Christianity.' We did this to placate our inner needs for things of the spirit, freeing us up for the rest of the week to 'sport in the flesh' with abandon! Yes, it's that simple. Alas, we were not ready for the aestheticism taught by the Master and it took us until the 6th century to successfully bury the original Christianity, described by church scholars as a 'flash in the pan' and labelled generically as Gnostic Christianity. This book traces how and why this happened, showing how we transformed Jesus into the Son of God instead of a pattern for our renewal. His message was then turned backwards by re-defining the law of grace as a 'get out of jail free' card, instead of you forgiving others, as is required to follow 'the Way!'
