Political power is based on deceit and the threat of violence. Spiritual power is based on love and truth. The startling contrast between Jesus and worldly power is always evident throughout the Four Gospels. The use of force or deceit to gain religious control was completely foreign to the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus would die before he would lie or hate.
Spiritual truth is elusive and comes by insight and revelation more than by reading and studying.
The truth will set you free. My entire ministry has been devoted to correcting religious misinformation and making accurate factual information available about who you are, who other people are, and who Jesus really is. Unless we speak the truth in love, others do not perceive what we say as truth. Jesus refused to perform magic to feed himself in his temptations. He refused to be enticed into denying his humanity by jumping off the Temple to be miraculously saved by the angels.
