I have come to the conclusion that the Gospel of Thomas, preserved as part of the Nag Hammadi library discovered in Egypt in 1945, makes it absolutely clear that we do not need an intermediary—such as a priest, pastor, or institution—to communicate with Elohim the Father. Instead, it emphasizes that the divine presence and the Kingdom are already within each of us, directly accessible without outside mediation.
This was not an easy truth to accept. Like many of us, I was taught from a very early age that we needed “Jesus” to intercede for us and that salvation was only possible by “accepting Jesus.” The narrative that He saved us from our sins was presented as unquestionable fact, but in reality, it was a carefully constructed deception. Deep down, even as a young boy, I sensed that something was missing. That inner unease only grew stronger through my teenage years and into adulthood. Now, at 52 years old, when I look back at what I was taught—and compare it against what I have learned from the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi library—the truth stands out with absolute clarity. We were lied to, deceived, and conditioned into believing a man-made story that was a complete fabrication.
To truly understand this, one must consider the motivations of the early church leaders who met at the Council of Nicaea. These were the men who created the so-called “biblical canon,” who decided what future generations would be permitted to read, and who actively suppressed or destroyed texts that revealed the deeper truths. Works such as the Book of Enoch, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene were deliberately removed, outlawed or destroyed because they posed a direct threat to the power structures and agendas of those early leaders. Thankfully, some individuals—aware of this corruption—chose to preserve the truth by hiding copies of these writings, which centuries later resurfaced in the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi library.
Sadly, many people remain deceived. They dismiss these writings as irrelevant or unimportant simply because they are not part of the “biblical canon.” What they fail to see is that they have been conditioned to reject the very truth that can set them free from religious bondage. By ignoring these texts, they miss out on the deeper spiritual reality that has been hidden from them.
Because of this realization, I now struggle to share the daily devotionals from my 2018 book, Daily Guidance from God. I no longer want to unintentionally lead people astray with teachings rooted in religious bondage rather than truth. Instead, I feel called to guide people toward the reality that the Kingdom is within you—within all of us. We do not need an intermediary “Jesus” to speak with Elohim the Father, nor do we need to “accept Jesus” as a savior to achieve salvation. That entire framework is a carefully constructed lie. My mission now is to help people break free from religious deception and experience true spiritual freedom.
I understand that many will find this difficult to accept, and some may never embrace it. That is their choice, for we all have free will. But for those with eyes to see and ears to hear, the truth is liberating. Part of this deception lies in the very manipulation of names. The sacred name of the Father, Elohim was replaced with the generic “God,” and the true name of the Son—Yeshua—was replaced with “Jesus.” These changes were not harmless; they were intentional. Words carry frequency and vibration, and when spoken in their true form, they resonate with divine power. The alteration of names diminished that resonance and further obscured the truth.
Yeshua did not come to Earth so that people would accept Him as their savior. He came to reveal truth, to teach that the Kingdom is within you, and to demonstrate the path of awakening already present in every soul. This truth is not only found in the Gospel of Thomas but also in the Gospel of Philip and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene. Once you embrace this reality, your perspective shifts entirely. Life changes, and you begin to recognize that the spiritual journey is far deeper than what the institutional church has ever allowed us to see.
I also believe that only those who are truly set apart from birth will fully accept this truth. But for those who do, the reward is profound: freedom from deception, awakening to resonance, and the rediscovery of the Kingdom within.
Key points from the sayings of Yeshua in The Gospel of Thomas:
1. The Kingdom is Within You
Saying 3:
“If those who lead you say to you, ‘See, the kingdom is in the sky,’ then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, ‘It is in the sea,’ then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is within you and it is outside you.”
➝ This reveals that divine truth is not mediated through outside authorities or institutions. The Father’s Kingdom is already present within each person.
2. Direct Knowledge of the Father
Saying 50:
“If they say to you, ‘Where do you come from?’ say to them, ‘We came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own.’”
➝ This stresses a direct origin in the divine Light (Elohim). To know yourself is to know the Source, without needing a human go-between.
3. Self-Knowledge as God-Knowledge
Saying 70:
“If you bring forth what is within you, what you have will save you. If you do not have that within you, what you do not have within you [will] kill you.”
➝ The saving connection to Elohim is already planted within. It is not mediated externally but activated by inner awareness.
4. No Outside Authorities Needed
Saying 3 and 113 together: Yeshua rejects the idea of waiting for an external kingdom, teacher, or ritual. He points back to the inner and present reality of Elohim’s Kingdom.
The Gospel of Thomas teaches that the true connection to Elohim is inward and immediate. It undermines the idea of requiring a priestly mediator or religious hierarchy. Instead, it affirms that each human being can commune with the Father directly through inner awakening, self-knowledge, and the recognition of the Kingdom already present within.
