Migrant Invasion Escalates Overnight as Tens of Thousands Storm Spanish Enclaves
The migrant invasion of Spain’s North African territories continued into Friday, with crossings around Ceuta’s Tarajal breakwater still under way after midnight and a second wave reaching Melilla. Police sources warned that more than 10,000 people from Morocco may have entered Ceuta illegally, while local reports described confrontations and break-ins at residents’ homes.

This religion was not "designed purposely to obscure Jesus' original message." The Christian belief in the crucifixion as a blood-sacrifice for "Original Sin" came about first from Peter's preaching on the Day of Pentecost, where the religion of Jesus was to some degree supplanted by a religion about Jesus as the Son of God. Paul of Tarsus formulated the redemption teachings as an amalgam of his Jewish and Greek roots and, I've always thought, because Paul just couldn't believe the Son of God would just let himself be killed like an ordinary mortal. Christianity is in this regard the religion of Paul.

To be clear, Jesus did say he had to die before the Spirit of Truth could come, but the horrible manner of his death was not required for that. There is only scant reference to Paul's beliefs in the Gospels, which is a consequence of the adoption of his beliefs by the authors of the Gospels. Belief in the absolute inerrancy of all the books of the Bible has caused great straining at gnats and swallowing camels to justify Paul's and other peripheral beliefs which have become attached to Christianity.

So, not "purposely designed," but definitely distracting from and obscuring the real Jesusonian religion. The teachings of Christ are carried forward within Christianity and have transformed the world. It is a delicate matter, but discarding the bathwater of accumulated errors must retain the baby of righteousness, faith, and God's forgiving nature that Jesus taught and exemplified.
