.....or some other form of a god before GOD? I suppose I should say " The Jesus that we have been presented with". I say this, because It does not appear to be Jesus's wish to step in between us and GOD. It does not appear that Jesus is claiming that the only way to get into Heaven is by ggiving HIM your soul (despite that ginchy little quote that all the Christians love so much). It doesn't appear to be Jesus's wish to reform the Old Testament or the religion that is based on it. If anything, it appeared to be Jesus's wish to live his life in a way that was pleasing to GOD. He did not conduct himself like a leader of men. He behaved more like a healer and a counsilor. If he really wanted the New Testament to be made, why didn't he write it himself? If he really wanted the Christian Church to be formed, why didn't he do it himself? After all, a house divided....

Christ came to fulfill the prophesies...To understand what he did you need to understand why he was here. Isiah 53 tells us the Messiah would atone for sin with his death. Jesus would be a false God if it were not for the fact that he is God and he was foretold that he would come throughout the scriptures.Jesus was God in the flesh and did come in humility and was humble in nature he was in the flesh and was in submission to the spirit as we are taught that our flesh is to be in submission to our spirit .Jesus did not write scripure he inspired it the Gospel is the atonement and wthtout that atonement there is no Gospel.

Jesus told us he has come to fulfill the scripture. He was teaching people how to get to the father and was a role model for all. His message was:
To reveal the Father (Matt. 11:27)
To preach the good news of the kingdom of God (Luke 4:43)
To do the will of the Father (John 6:38)
To give the Father's words (John 17:8)
To preach (Mark 1:38)
To know who is true (1 John 5:20)
He quoted the Old Testament and confirmed it to be the Word of God.

He wasn't Christian. He was Jewish. He read The Torah, not the Old Testament. He taught the word of God as he belived it. He was a teacher, and as you say an counsilor. He wished people to treat each other better. To live better. People believe things to literaly and thats bad.
The Old Testament was adopted by the Catholic church, originally was the Torah. The New Testament was adopted by the Catholic church many years later as a way for them to gain more followers from the New Testament books that they first scorned as sacriligious and to have more control of their followers by instilling fear in them. It's all means to an end.
Follow your heart and your faith. Do what you believe is right. Treat others as you would want to be treated. Do not follow the churches. They want all to believe as they believe and all do the opposite anyways.

I agree with you in the sense that Jesus did not want any attention to himself, that's why he chose that specific time and place to come, when nobody could even take a picture or do a painting of him. I also agree that it wasn't his intention to found a new religion, that's earthly stuff and not part of His Kingdom.... but you are forgetting to mention his True Mision, which was first, to be One with the Father, becoming the Christ, and then, to give his blood to this Earth to allow the energy of His Holy Spirit to stay among us. All other activities, like healing, speeches, were additional benefits for his followers. He knew that, 2000 years ahead, there would be still eyes that don't see and ears that don't listen, but His Spirit was finally installed on Earth, ready to be unfold for the Ones that love Him...

By refering to that "ginchy little quote" do you mean the verse in John 14 where Jesus says, "I amd the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man comes to the Father except by me"? or are you refering to John 3: 18 where Jesus says, "Anyone who accepts the Son is not condemned. Anyone who accepts not is condemned already"?
They don't seem to be "glichy" to me. In fact, they seem to be pretty clear. Either you accept Christ as your Savior or you are condemned. This doesn't make him a good man or a kind prophet. It either makes him an evil deciever worse than Hitler telling people that He was God knowing that He wasn't; a crazy lunatic who actually believed that He was God but wasn't' or He was what He said He was: the Lord, the Messiah, the Creator God.
You decide. But don't try to smooth it over by saying He was a good man. That option isn't left open to you.

why Jesus want to reform the Old Testament?
because in Old Testament (read for yourself) God is described as fierceful being with many punisments to His choosen nation.
Jesus wanted to show that God is merciful and full of love.
You know Jesus teachings is based on love and compassion.

That is ridiculous.
Anybody who has read God's word would know better than to believe such foolishness as you have tried to interpret here and try to get others to subscribe to.
Jesus is the way,the truth and the life.
Jesus is the Prince of Peace
Jesus is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
Jesus is our Lord and Savior of whom God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son,Jesus, that whosoever believe in him will not perish but will have everlasting life.

Blah, blah, blah. Look, He did good in the world which is more than I can say for others whom are worshiped. If you really knew (or cared to know) what the Bible contained you would find all of the answers to your questions. Therefore, you wouldn't be on here boring us with your rant.
