Bl3ss3dw1thL1f3: Those don't seem original. Weren't they all Jewish teachings also?

YouAnnoyMe: "You will not exact vengeance on, or bear any sort of grudge against, the members of your race, but will love your neighbor as yourself." (Leviticus 19:18) This seems like it is saying love those who have wronged you.

He taught Love, Love, and Love. He taught that Man is the Son/Daughter of God, that We All are the Children of God. He taught Man those teachings that had been lost, forgotten, or misunderstood....teachings for a people that had become satisfied by misconceptions of a physical world. There is Love for all that accept Him. He taught nothing new, that hadn't been taught before. Yet, He taught it afresh, to open the minds, and the hearts of those that were of deaf eyes, blind tongues, and mute ears. He spoke, He Taught, of the Old Truths, but of the Truths That Trully Never Age.

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. - John 8:3-7.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. - Galatians 5:22,23.
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. - Romans 7:6.
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; - Philippians 3;9,10.

Jesus is the Only begotten Son of God, the only Son produced by YHWH alone. This son is the first born of all heavenly creation. By means of HIM all others were created in heaven and on earth as well. He, Jesus, Micheal, is the second greatest personage in the entire Universe.
So , Jesus gets his original moral teachings from his father GOD Almighty,
God "has" POWER, Justice, Wisdom, But God IS LOVE!
1 John, Chapter 4, verses 15-21 GOD is Love, that is Jesus first command as son of YHWH. God the father.
LOVE is the first moral teaching, love of God the Father, and then love of fellow man, and all else will fall into place

Love God above all.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Love your enemy.
The first two have been taught by many religions. Jesus was the first to teach the third and it was considered radical. It's actually an extension of the second teaching because people didn't want to include their enemies in the definition of "neighbor".

jesus had no moral teachings, christians just put words into his mouth, Jesus was all about sedition, through the parables he was bunking the religious system and turning it on it's head, he caused uproar among the religious of the time and they killed him for it, if Jesus life was about preaching nice things and tell nice stories, then they wouldn't have wanted to kill him, christians just like twisting the bible, Jesus was about non-judgmental acceptance, liberation and freedom of thought and standing up for your own personal authority without having to follow the mob mentality, if he came back today and preached the same stuff it would be the christians who would try to get rid of him
