Reality is the configuration of any substance, material or spiritual. There are numerous laws of existence which are similar. Life is dependent upon knowing what the laws of existence are and describing in an open and accountable manner everything a person promotes, believes and does to influence the life of others. This is the essence of Christianity.

The opposite is to deny and conceal any fact, erasing any concept of knowledge, so deceivers can crawl around in the dark and stab people in the back and get away with it.

Anyone who cannot openly describe what they are doing and what they believe has no justification in influencing others. This means there is not a secret knowledge or scheme that is part of Christianity. If Christ didn't say it; it is not part of Christianity.

Furthermore, no one has ever created an alternative that sustains life. There is only one unified reality which creates and defines life. It is quite noticeable that true morality is described the same way everywhere for these reasons.

Christ focussed on truth, first and foremost. He said his entire purpose in appearing was to testify to the truth (John 18:37). (Be sure to notice that atonement was not his purpose.) Truth is the communicated representation of unified reality. Communication means material symbolization.

Communication in the spirit world is highly varied. At least for corrupters, it does not exist as communication which is used in human life. It is common in the spirit world to convey realities as representations without symbolization. Material symbolization is everything. Salvation is not possible without it. Material life was created for this reason.

It's extremely important to understand what material symbolization is. A word represents something which people have common knowledge about. Each person must have the same concept for a word, before it can be used. Therefore, a word is a stabilized reality. A combination of words can be used to represent complex stabilized realities. The stabilized realities can then be used to represent the objective reality which makes up life, so people can align themselves upon it to sustain life.

Truth is a correction of this process. Correcting it allows life to be sustained, which is particularly relevant where there are forces destroying life.

If there are no stable representations of realities through symbols as words, there is no method of determining what sustains life; and there is no method of correcting the realities which destroy life. Such a state of existence, where there are no words, is totally dependent upon the constructivity of each person who is cause over life. Any flaw, and it cannot be corrected. Any attempt to construct representations of realities would be futile without the stabilized realities of material life. This is why material life is needed to overcome sin—stabilized realities cannot be constructed in the spirit world without a stabilized source.

The role of truth explains the methodology of Christianity. Another question is the why of Christianity. The purpose of Christianity is to create and sustain eternal life by eliminating conflicts. Conflicts destroy life, ultimately creating hell for persons involved in the conflicts.

Some persons assume they are above morality. They assume they can do as they please and gain from it through the prevailing use of force. They create conflicts doing so. The conflicts are a threat to everyone. The threatening influences are at least shunned, if not attacked and destroyed. Persons who have no moral sense assume they can acquire the power to prevail against others and force them to submit to their wishes. Such use of force increases conflicts creating a total hell for everyone involved.

Force is "that which conflicts with realities". This means there is no constructive use of force beyond the temporary need for police force under corrupt conditions controlled by satan. Christ taught not to use force (Mat 26:52), but he stated an exception, which would apply to police force (Luke 22:36). Not using force as a methodology is the largest part of eliminating conflicts.

So the two primary elements of Christianity are the elimination of conflicts through constructivity and the defining and correcting of the realities which make up life through truth.

[Parenthetically, modern Christians would usually say, no, Christianity is first about Christ the personal savior. Personal means, you can't tell me what to believe. There is no relationship to Christ apart from his teaching, as he emphasized (Luke 6:47)(John 15:10, 12).]
