Thanks for the downvote, but can you at least articulate why you disagree with me?

I’m glad you asked: This entire post is a dumpster fire of Gnostic delusion and historical ignorance. 1. Jesus didn’t “just want to be a messenger” He is the Eternal Word. John 1:1 doesn’t say “He brought a nice message.” It says, “The Word was with God and the Word was God.” He wasn’t merely a prophet pointing to truth, He is Truth incarnate (John 14:6). The moment you reduce Christ to a “teacher” or “symbol,” you’ve stepped out of Christianity and into heretical soup. 2. Worship of Christ wasn’t invented at Nicea. Read the New Testament. Thomas falls down and says “My Lord and my God.” (John 20:28) The Apostles worship Him after the Resurrection. Early Christian hymns (Philippians 2:6–11) glorify Christ as divine. The First Council of Nicea didn’t “invent” anything. It defended what the Church had always believed — that the Son is of one essence (homoousios) with the Father. They simply codified what was already being proclaimed in the liturgy and preached by the martyrs long before Constantine ever showed up. 3. You can’t use the “Gospel of Thomas” as if it’s valid. That text is a 2nd-century Gnostic forgery. The early Church Fathers (including Irenaeus, who was trained by Polycarp, a disciple of John the Apostle) explicitly rejected it. Why? Because it wasn’t from the Apostles, and it reeked of Gnostic dualism — the same nonsense infecting your comment. 4. Christ explicitly said He is to be worshipped. “This is My body… This is My blood.” “The bread I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” (John 6:51) “No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6) If you don’t understand these aren’t just poetic metaphors, you’re reading like a modern materialist, not someone seeking God. 5. Christianity isn’t about “bureaucracy.” It’s about communion with the living God through the Church He established. Not some subjective, ego-driven idea of spirituality. The Council wasn’t some HR meeting. It was bishops, many of whom had been tortured for the Faith and preserving the true teaching against heresy. If you think they edited the Gospel for power, then you’ve bought into the same recycled Dan Brown garbage every pseudo-intellectual online does.

You want Christ without the Cross, truth without sacrifice, and a faith that never confronts your ego. That’s not Christianity. That’s spiritual masturbation. Christ didn’t die so you could follow your feelings. He died so you could be transformed and become like Him.

How can anyone respect the Word that is God if they cannot first respect the Word by giving it the punctuation it so sincerely deserves?

You’re right. Every thing I just said is now a moot point, due to grammar. Carry on
