To me Jesus set a trend or an example of what life is really like under Babylon system through him he can save our souls from slavery war & pain so man can find hope in the darkest corners of the Earth.
He can save us from slavery? Let’s look at history….
The early Church did indeed draw support from slaves, yet it never condemned the practice of slavery. It’s holy writ and that adopted from Judaism endorse the enslavement of others and for 1800 years aided and abetted this barbaric practice. Going so far as to teach that slavery was in accordance with Divine will! Ambrosiaster, in the 4th century CE, compounded this by offering up the idea that slavery originated with Noah’s curse upon Ham. Inferring that Ham’s son Canaan had turned black before settling in Africa, so in the true biblical justice, it was inflicted on all subsequent descendents. The centuries of enslavement and torture of millions of Africans is founded on a mythological yarn of drunken revelry!
When it came to power, the church was already a major slave owner and rapidly negated the laws of Rome that concerned the rights of slaves and the possibility of obtaining freedom…Christian slavery was for life. The Council of Gangra in 340 CE decreed, “If anyone, on the pretext of religion teaches another man’s lave to despise his master, and to withdraw from his service, and not to serve his master with good will and respect, let him be anathema.” This was in reaction to Manicheans (a so-called heretical sect of Christianity)urging slaves to free themselves. This remained the standard Christian attitude during the intervening centuries, then with the discovery of the New World the Pope (Alexander VI) gave permission to enslave the natives and other non-believers in the Bull Eximiae Devotionis, 1493: “…full and free permission to invade, search out, capture and subjugate the Saracens and pagans and any other unbelievers and enemies of Christ wherever they may be, as well as their kingdoms, duchies, counties, principalities and other properties and to reduce their persons into perpetual slavery!” That those citizens of the southern states believed that the Confederacy was the last true Christian civilization is show by the pronouncement of the President of the Baptist State Convention, Rev Richard Furman, in Charleston, Dec 24, 1822, “On the lawfulness of holding slaves … the right of holding slaves is clearly established in the Holy Scriptures, both by precept and example. I think you can see that your god does not save anyone from slavery, in fact he advocates enslaving the lesser developed.

Here's a fact...the Catholics screwed everything up. #1 Jesus is no longer on the cross. They shouldn't be hanging up crosses with a bloody Jesus on them. #2--Communion is not eating the body of Christ or drinking His blood. It's in rememberance of the torn flesh and blood that He spilled for us when He died. Man, I hate to see fake religion messing things up.
I assume you are calling the Catholics a fake religion…well, unless you are a hold-out Arian or Manichean, your sect is descended from Catholicism and if religions had DNA, your sects genetic makeup would be closer to Catholic than Chimpanzee is to Man! As for communion, Jesus said, “…Take, eat: this is my body.” And then he gave the cup to them and they all drank of it and he said, “this is my blood…” I see nothing that says that it is in remembrance of the torn flesh and blood he shed. He specifies that it (the host and wine) is his body and blood to take and eat! Ritual cannibalism is a dogma of Christianity!
