Without Disclosing My True Identity
The “redemption” described here does not place humans in a perfected state of
existence. It places them in a perfected state of knowledge! In what way, then, did Jesus
“free [us] forever”? He taught us the real truth, or as the religious book states, “the mysteries
of the kingdom of heaven,”^50 i.e., those things “hid up from the foundation of the world.”^51
Understanding these “mysteries” allows a person to “know good from evil,^52 to act for
themselves and not to be acted upon,”^53 except for experiencing the consequence of our
individual, free-willed choices.
Now we can ask, what was “acting upon” the people at the time Christ lived as a
mortal? It was VAIN AND FOOLISH RELIGIOUS BELIEFS! Christ did not free the people
from the Romans, their creditors, or their misery; but he did free the people (who listened to
him) from their erroneous religious customs, churches, and beliefs.^54 He knew and taught
that the only true law known and taught by the true prophets was based on “whatsoever ye
would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.”^55
Without religion and spiritual leaders to “act upon them,” the people were free to
know good and evil for themselves and act upon their own knowledge and choices. In this
way, they played into the “first great commandment” given by Christ (translated correctly):
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God (YOURSELF—there exists nothing in
the Universe where there is no “SELF”) with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.^56People who love themselves give greater heed to their own common sense than to dogmatic,
authoritarian, and self-absorbed leaders. Of course, by the teaching of this new liberty,^57 the
very liberal Jesus was eventually killed by those who wanted to “act upon” the people.
The Convoluted Truth Became the “Word of God”
The New Testament is not a correct record of what Jesus “truly taught the people.”^58
Those who wrote the New Testament put their own religious spin on, what can only be
considered as, secondhand accounts of Jesus’ life.^59 The Book of Mormon itself does not
account for “even a hundredth part of the things which Jesus did truly teach unto the people.”^60 The
advanced beings who were responsible for what the Book of Mormon presents did not want
the world to have all “the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven”—yet. However, by calling
it the “most correct of any book on earth,”^61 Joseph sufficiently prompted those who were
searching for real truth to discover the hidden gems within its pages.
Although the New Testament and the Book of Mormon do not give details of what
Jesus truly taught, the fact remains that he was the Messiah; he did come to earth as a
mortal just like everyone else; and he did REDEEM the people by teaching them the
“mysteries of the kingdom of heaven,”^62 namely, what goes on in advanced human
worlds among advanced human beings. Christ, unlike Joseph, was a true messenger who
did reveal his true identity.
Knowing this, imagine how difficult it was for the people to transcend from
traditional beliefs—as well as those doctrines designed to control the hearts and minds of
the people—to the real truth, especially as successive generations passed away from the
time that Jesus walked the earth. From this, one could easily see how Christ’s teaching
that “we are all sons and daughters of advanced human beings” got transposed into religious
