Gaping Hole After 2,000 years of Christianity

25 July 2024


What is the definition and interpretation of the Resurrection in Christianity? What does it mean? All we see are the faithful worshippers entering Churches to sing hymns, say prayers and listen to the priest's sermons – entering the Church Service solemn-faced and exiting the same way: but what do the believers actually believe? The simple answer is that they themselves do not know.

There is no straightforward answer. And it is the gaping hole after 2,000 years of Christianity. There is literally no teaching dating from the birth of the religion about the meaning and definition of its central concept: the resurrection.

In modern times, Christianity has simply become a clothes peg onto which people can hang their favourite ethical values and morals. Nothing more, nothing less.

We can read about the earliest form of Christianity in the Epistles found in the New Testament, about the Eucharist and how it represents the resurrection and the basis of Christian beliefs – but these accounts simply fail to disclose the essential and overt meaning. This is missing from those texts, as much as the meaning is missing from today's world.

So what is really needed is a quest for the lost meaning and interpretation of the Christian Resurrection.

The question of the historicity of the Gospels has become a sore point – because that too – is fraught with difficulties. Christian believers and evangelists publish books about the historical truth – while atheists, agnostics and the secularists concentrate upon the argument that the historicity of the Gospels is bogus (their books often filled with details always not addressed by the faithful believers).

It should be noted that the earliest Christian Groups that rejected the historicity of the Gospels considered themselves as true Christians and would never join today's groups that deny the historicity of the Gospels.

So here we come to another question. Why did groups who considered themselves Christian deny the historicity of the Gospels?

These are questions without answers in the Mainstream World of Human Scholarship. We see an awful lot of texts in books written about the subject matter – lots and lots of personal opinions and ideas – but totally devoid of what lies at the very heart of Christian Roots in a sober and totally objective manner – that can be universally accepted.

What would get my vote as to the meaning of The Resurrection in all the earliest Christian Groups – the restoration of the Male and Female as ONE ANDROGYNE that existed before the material world was created.
