Jesus Didn’t Die for Beliefs. He Died for Saying Too Much.

Jesus wasn’t killed because of religion. He was killed because he talked about power.

He pointed out that rich people were hurting the poor. He called out leaders who used God to stay in control. He noticed who was being protected and who was being used. That made powerful people nervous.  

When people with money and influence feel threatened, they don’t argue. They silence. They say, “This is dangerous.” They say, “This will cause chaos.” They say, “We have to protect the system.” What they mean is, we have to protect ourselves. That’s how Jesus ended up dead. Not because he was violent, but because he wouldn’t stop naming what was happening in front of everyone.  

What we’re seeing now with the Epstein files follows the same pattern, very rich people, very powerful people, harm done to vulnerable people, and a whole lot of silence. Files get hidden. Stories get buried. People who ask questions get ignored or attacked. Not because the truth is complicated but because religion has been used to manipulate people's fears.  

Back then, religion was used to make power look holy. Now it’s money, politics, and “reputation.” Same thing, different costume. The most dangerous person in any system is the one who points at it and says, “This is wrong.” That’s who gets silenced. That’s who gets discredited. That’s who gets removed.  

Jesus wasn’t worshipped in his time. He was executed. And the lesson wasn’t about heaven or hell. It was about what happens when truth threatens power. His story was a warning about corruption, unquenched appetites and greed. It was a warning about exactly what is happening in the world right this second. You are not following Jesus. You are following his executioners.
