In a sense,yes.
But not from everlasting damnation. There is no such thing as you have conceived it. His mission was-is-to save you from not knowing and experiencing Who You Really Are. His intention was to demonstrate that by showing you what you can become.Indeed, what you are-if you will only accept it.
Jesus sought to lead by example.That is why he said,"I am the way and the life.Follow me."He didn't mean "follow me" in the sense that you would all become his "followers," but in the sense that you would all follow his example and become one with God. He said,"I and the Father are One, and ye are my brethren." He couldn't have put it more plainly.

Jesus showed us how a human being should live in and relate to this world. He showed us that it doesn't matter if you are rich, powerful and well educated or poor, sick and uneducated. He showed us that it is irrelevant where you come from or what culture you are born into. He showed us that the real power is inside us and does not come to us by way of our social status or wealth or any other external source. He showed us that there is nothing to fear because we are all innocent and perfect children of a perfectly loving God. He showed us that we are all one in the holy and loving spirit of God and that we are all responsible for each other. He showed us that the ONLY thing that is real is Love. Nothing else matters.

you will have an interest to envision Moses and Monotheism and Sigmund Freud's opinion as to why there's a ingrained Guilt in our faith, His theory is that Moses replaced right into a decrease point Bureaucrat who worshiped the only God of the Pharaoh Ikhnaton, whilst The Pharaoh replaced into overthrown,Moses lead a band os Semitic human beings into the dessert. THey quickly bored together with his rules and rebelled probably against circumcision and Killed Moses and started worshiping a community Volcano God names Yahweh, the secret guilt of the homicide of there chief replaced into the underlining topic of the hot faith because it formed. Your asserting Jesus replaced into Buddha, The parallels of the two religions would properly be matched be conscious for be conscious even to the characteristics of each disciple. Buddha sat on the Bodi tree the logo of the middle pole that the universe spins around.He mentioned that any one would properly be a Buddha Jesus replaced into hung from the comparable prevalent pole. The go witch is an emblem of the crossing of God getting into linear time, and crossing back back. Jesus of course mentioned that any one would properly be a christ. you are the terrific option. besides the undeniable fact that monks do no longer gets a commission or fed if everyone can do it. Paul replaced into reason on forming a faith, for this reason i'd say he would have been a advantageous guy yet replaced into the 1st anti-christ in an somewhat long line of them,

Between you and diogenes, I think you've pretty much eliminated most doctrine. This should reveal a flaw somewhere.
Christ's mission was exactly as He stated. "To seek and to save the lost."
But, not in the humanistic bent or slant you have put on it.
This seems more like religious humanism.
Becoming one with God, as you wrote, the idea comes from eastern religions, not Biblical Christianity.
Yes, follow. What do you think the title LORD means?
Following is a consistent command throughout scripture.

Before Jesus came, Death (satin) ruled the world) "He was a roaring Lion roaming to and throw upon the earth.
The was sin in the world, which was atoned for by a blood sacrificee usually an animal.
It was God's plan that Jesus be born, teach, suffer and die.
He was the ultimate last sacrific and atonement for all of our sins, past, present, future.
At the time of His death, satin no longer ruled the earth and the fear of death ended.
Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the Light, No man cometh on to the Father, but by Me.
While He came humble with the mindset of a servant.
When we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, He is one in us and we are one in Him.
We are to be in this world but not of this world. We are to strive to be more like Jesus, but never will be Him for He is the only perfect one.
So, we become the person He made us to be, share His word, and be about His business. In essence, this amounts to being available to be an instrument of His love.
When satin attempts to condemn us before, God, Jesus is the equivalent of our attorney, telling, God that we are one of His children -forgiven.

"He couldn't have put it more plainly."

As I see it, He couldn't have been more confusing. For starters, if Christ and all his followers were typical of their era, they were Solipsistic Idealists. This means they believed their own subjective experience actually was reality and that they were only able to think properly because the God could place thoughts directly into their minds.

You asked if Jesus' mission was to save our souls. That's very unlikely, considering that St. Augustine didn't invent the concept of the immortal human spirit (the soul) until 390 AD. Augustine combined Plato's Idealism with Aristotle's Solipsism and asserted that God loans each new human being a tiny bit of His own immortal essence. The experience of having lived was said to grow God's gift into a human soul. St. Augustine's conceptualized soul achieved two important theological objectives. It explained how conscious awareness was possible and it explained how Christ's promise of eternal life was possible -- roughly 360 years after Christ existed (if He actually did). Apparently, Jesus Christ had no real idea of what a human soul actually was. This explains why Christ used paternalistic allegories to explain his theology. It would be three-and-a-half centuries before Augustine invented the soul, which made eternal life seem at least possible.

Let's say you have a terminal illness. Someone comes to you and offers a cure. All you have to do is accept this gift and say thank you. Then try to live your life in the same loving way as the person who saved you.

This is the whole point to Christ. I don't see what's so hard to grasp.

You can not, in any way, shape , or form, back up that rediculous statement by the Holy Bible!
I can, however, back up the exact opposite!
The bible states:
1. that all have sinned and come short of the Golry of God!
2. That Jesus came into the world to save the world
3. that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil
4. Hell DOES exist and it was created for the Devil and his followers
5. It is appointed for man once to die and then the JUDGEMENT!
6. the BIBLE, nowhere, tells us that we will or can be one-wtih-God!
7. Jesus told us to keep our eyes on him and not on ourselves (my paraphrase)
8. tells us that our own righteousness is as 'filthy rags' (menstrual clothe)





I rebuke you in the name of Christ!
You are a teacher of lies and a son of Satan, the father of ALL lies!

Jesus' Mission was to save or souls and you need to give him a lot more credit than you have without Jesus you would never be resurrected. with out Jesus you would never be able to be forgiven for your sins that is what the Atonement is about

1 Pet. 3: 14, 17-18
14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
• • •
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye asuffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Rom. 5: 11
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

and yes you are right that he set an example for us to pattern our lives after. hope this helps

How do you know who Jesus is? The bible of course. Read the bible to find out that you are not correct about Him. He is God. He came to the earth as the human man Jesus, for the purpose of death. He came to die in our place for our sin. In His death, there is His forgiveness and His love for us.

I know who I really am. I am God's child because Jesus is my Lord and Savior.
