Jesus The Prince of Peace was the only begotten Son of The Living God.
While Jesus lived on earth he was humble and our servant he came to preach the gospel and heal the sick.
John 8;12
I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
1st Timothy 2;5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
John 1;12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.
1st Peter 2;24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins should live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.
Cavalry the love sacrifice - nothing can be added or taken from this -It Is a Finished work.
II Cor 5;6
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while we are abscent from the Lord [for we walk by faith and not be sight] we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be abscent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Matthew 22;29
Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

No the population of earth is still pretty ignorant about thair spirituality. They think that this is the only life that they will ever live and that when the die they go to hevan. Jesus taught a much diffirent theme than this but what he said was changed by the catholic church because they didnt like the Idea of reincarnation and wanted to use the idea of hevan and hell as a populace control mechinisim.

HE gave up HIS job as a carpenter, to preach to the World.
Did HE do a good job? Well, there are millions of Christians that say HE did. HIS Apostles followed HIS ways, after HIS resurection, until thier deaths...
What people believe is thier repsonsibility. Did HE chip away at religious ignorance, well, that remains to be seen at the Judgement Day.
I wish you well..
Jesse

No. If there was such a man upon which the NT is loosely based, he contributed to spiritual ignorance. You have to look to men like Bertrand Russell if you want to find people who chipped away at spiritual ignorance.

If he was a carpenter he must have been useless as I don't remember the Bible describing any of the tables, chairs, sideboards, wardrobes, bookshelves, window frames etc etc that he must have made during his carpentry career. Can you call yourself a carpenter if you just sharpen pencils?

Maybe if you pick up that dusty old thing in your bookcase called a BIBLE and READ it, you would know the answer to such a stupid question.
