I think he meant well, had a great heart, but wasn't really playing with a full deck of cards.
I think a lot of what he said was revolutionary, and beautiful, but in that--I think that he was in some way autistic. Like, he had some brilliant ideas, thoughts, and concepts, but couldn't do simple things like tying your shoes, or managing effective relationships with people, or coming across as socially acceptable. I also believe he had delusions of grandeur.
Apart from that, awesome guy. Changed the whole world.

I believe that he was a great teacher and a great person too. Was he the "one and only" Son of God? I dont know. Are we not all Sons and Daughters of God? Even if he wasnt the one and only, he sacrificed his life for the sins of others. So for that I say thank you to him. Wouldnt u be grateful for that? I dont really idolize him as others do, but I do look to his spirit for guidance. There have been plenty of times i have been in a bad situation and I called for him and I recieved help. Its very complicated though because everyone has there own different definition on who he was. Sigh....Why is the world so mixed up and confused?

He was not the disenfranchised king that medieval Europeans turned him into. He wasn't a middle class kid coming home from school everyday to work in his dads’ wood shop making birdhouses. He was dirt poor. He was so poor that medieval Europeans would have considered him poor by their standards. He worked hard. He had family troubles. He was smart and misunderstood. He knew he had to get out of the town he was in because no one would ever take him seriously there. During work his mind would wander into areas we don’t consider in our day and age. Whatever would be written hadn’t manifested yet and I doubt the virgin birth story was one he was familiar with. His break came on the Sabbath when he could relax and discuss ideas he’d considered during the week. He knew Esseans and Zoroastrians, Pagans, Pharisees and Sadducees. Everyone did ritual purification and baths were everywhere. It was against the law to enter the temple unless bathed. One day at age 30 Jesus happened on John the Baptist and during his baptism he experienced Gnosis or enlightenment. He understood that God lived within and he gave himself utterly to the spirit of God. Guided by love he had his ministry and the rest is history with enough embellishments to run an empire and keep people like you and me enslaved when his desire was to free us.

God is infinite
So in order for Him to relate to us
and us to relate to him.
God became human flesh and dwelled among us.
In Christ He reconciles the world to himself.
Both of those come straight from scripture.
"That we might become the righteousness of God in HIm."
Christ is God revealed in humanity.
Read all the old testament where God says I am.
When you read the new testament you will find that all the things Christ says I am, match up perfectly.
Isaiah even said that the child that would be born would be known as mighty God, everlasting Father.

Jesus appeared to be a very wise and spiritually evolved being, but unfortunately, he naively thought that he could preach such radical ideology without consequence. That's why he got killed; not because he came here to save us from our sins, but because he was a man with radical ideas who didn't know when to put a cork in it. I do think he was GOOD, but I don't think he was GOD.

Read his book. It's called the course in miracles.
It shows us the real Jesus. Loving, concerned and helpful. Brilliant in his understanding of human nature and interaction.
It's well worth the read.
Love and blessings Don

W.T.F ? I hate Jesus so why would i write anything about him or the crackheads who heel to it like a pack of hungry dog's, your Christ is dead has been for a long time and will not be returning to save your miserable @sses.
And Christ is not a god !he is a wacked out Spagetti Monster who has all the Christians on a peace of string.

Jesus is Almighty God. He came to earth 2000 (almost) years ago in Bethlehem. His purpose was to die on the Golgotha on a shameful cross just to redeem each creation (human beings) as they are fallen short of God's glory because of their sins.
All of us are sinners and we need a saviour. The world can ever find a saviour none other than Jesus Christ. Now He is in heaven interceding for His believers who may sin. I love Him as He took away my sin and now He is guiding me sending HIs Holy Spirit so that I will be holy as He is.
He is a faithful friend. Though my mother may forsake me But he will never leave me alone. I am not just saying words. It is my experience.

Jesus is to me the one in the middle of the spirling blender we call earth, trying to show by example and through his teachings that we have two choices in this lifetime. To be self-indulging; focusing on ourselves, or to Be like Jesus and try to save this world. The bottom line is Jesus is the son of the supreme being, God. God created us to worship him, but also to enjoy life. It wasn't until he sent his son as a sacrifice could our sins and flaws as man be forgiven. When I think of Jesus, I think of a man dressed in the cleanest of white Robes, with a spiritual light around him, the purest man to ever walk this earth.
