Theological Science*and Jesus Christ, VIII

The teaching of Jesus Christ on the subject of self knowledge will not be found in the Bible because the Christians who assembled the writings for the New Testament did not include the Gospel of Thomas. By not including it in the Bible, the New Testament developed a bad sore similar to a baseball pitcher who developed a y sore arm. Without the Gospel of Tomas, Christians are being misguided by poor teachers. The primary teaching of Thomas is the self knowledge of mind, a kingdom that God created, and common sense. I conclude that the audience of Jesus was very intelligent.

Self knowledge is the essential substance of the ‘self.’ The self is also known as the mind, soul, or spirit. In the Bible at Titus 1:7, Paul identifies some negatives of the self. Being self willed, for instance, is one of these negatives. To be not self willed, that self is never absolutely free. Although people say that the will is absolutely free, most judicial thinkers say that man’s will grows with laws. Two such laws were included in the U.S. Declaration of Independence by our founders. These two laws called ‘Laws of Nature and Nature’s God.’ The Declaration of Independence is thus guiding the development of the self knowledge of every U.S. citizen.

Obviously, the U.S. political and economic systems are consistent with people who have negatives of the self. But this means that these two systems are inconsistent with the self knowledge taught by Jesus. Accordingly, I believe that the USA is becoming a nation of slaves and the kind of people who do not develop self knowledge. To change the USA and align the USA to its founding principles, the U.S. must become a social democracy based on national goals.
