   The Gnostic Story of #JESUS: What You Were Never Told

   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htuXgwuG7v0

   Who was Jesus, really? To most, he’s the #savior who died for humanity’s #sins. But to the Gnostics, an ancient group of mystical #Christians, Jesus wasn’t here to atone for sin—he was here to reveal a mind-blowing truth about the world and our place in it.

     #Jesus, if he existed, which he very well could have, was likely, from all of my understanding of humanity, mortality, and the limitations of human capabilities and of what is scientifically possible, a guy who started a cult that gained popularity in the Roman Empire several decades after his death, in which case it spread across the world through violence and coercion and became the dominant religion in the world. Nothing supernatural. Only natural.
