This excerpt from this relatively unknown philosopher includes all of the elements of the Jesus is God doctrine, Virgin birth doctrine, and the other ideological unquestionables that Rome first levied upon the world under threat of death as heresy. This doctrine still dominates all forms of christianity---protestant, evangelical, et cetera with almost no deviation save in rituals and superficial particulars!
The truth if any would hear it is quite different. Each of these dogmas is a carefully orchestrated snare which impedes the one who has accepted such doctrine to be incapable of receiving the Gospel---ironically, it is christianity that becomes the great obstacle (dia-bolos) to authentic truth.
#1. Jesus is God-obviously contradicted by all of the teachings concerning the father and the son. Not rectified through casuistic trinity doctrines which are absurd.
#2. Only begotten Son of God-contradicted by the adoption of sons and daughters via faith in Jesus' teaching.
#3. Bible as inerrant Word of God-Bibliolatry that worships the book and overlooks the truth of the living word.
#4. Virgin birth-contradicted by the Gospel genealogy through Joseph's ancestry. See John's epistles which state that any one who denies that Jesus came to be born in the flesh is antichrist.
#5. Original and ceaseless sin of humanity, perpetual death and the kingdom to follow death-contradicted by Jesus ' teaching that the kingdom is at hand. Also contradicted by the fact that Jesus began his ministry to announce that that the time was ripe for the kingdom of heaven and this mission that he stated does not refer to the crucifixion but to the announcement of the good news of the present advent his father's kingdom at the inception of his teaching ministry and the great commission which refers nowhere to the doctrine of shedding blood.
#6. Necessity of church going, keeping holy the sabbath, etc... and the mandatory rituals and ideological assents by the so-called faithful whether, lutheran, catholic, episcopalian, evangelical...all of these fulfilled and abolished in Jesus' teaching. No mediator---not even the church! Body of christ mystically eternally present not any corporate organization.
Such carefully orchestrated dogma constructs an impenetrable "firewall" to authentic enlightenment as a son or daughter of God.
The truth of the son of man is revealed in all human beings as their birthright into the material world. The basic resting state of human consciousness is Christ---the basic operating system if you will. The human soul is primordially anchored in this truth but this fact is obfuscated, and covered up by the leaven of the Pharisees as encapsulated in the dogmas which Aristides blindly echoes above. To realize one's true identity as a son or daughter of god means to be adopted by the father and to receive the inheritance of God's kingdom in the land of the living where it is "hidden in plain sight".
To "put on the mind of Jesus Christ"---the follower of the true lord diminishes in their egotistic identity and surrenders to the inward conversion becoming and living into the son of god. Christ present within the individual body (temple) and present where two or more gather in this name. Hence no property or church building, no mandatory services or tithing required. Inane teachings have corrupted christianity in a global sense obscuring the way, truth and life that is Jesus Christ who comes to be born in our hearts via virgin birth, and letting the mind that was in him to dwell entirely in us as we decrease and he increases!
