Was Jesus a "Great Moral Teacher"?

Answer 1

He is the Moral Law. He demonstrated it perfectly for us while here as a human

Answer 2

If we are to assume that he actually lived, it was in poverty, and supposedly spoke Aramaic. Many stories have been written about what he did and said but none were written by him or proved to have been said by him. It is interesting that the stories were written in Greek. Some [few] were actually written in Hebrew, but not necessarily were NT. I have found no mention of any writings or actual words left by him that would make him be a 'great moral teacher'.

All of the gospels and Paul's works were written after his death, so anything that was written was hearsay. Most views of this man were not about morals, rather miracles. If the reference is to the Beatitudes, they are not the same [as they were written by different writers] and as such are more than likely hearsay.

To have compassion for another human does not take morals, it takes respect. It should be noted that most morals should be about respect and responsibility. Both come from within the self - simply because you are part the human species as well as this planet.

Answer 3

No. it is not 'mainstream judaism' that rejects Christian ideals. IT - IS - *ALL* JUDAISM IT - IS - *ALL* JEWS are you able to be a Christian and picture that Mohammed is a superb guy and prophet? No. are you able to be a Muslim collectively as believing that the Hindu gods are genuine? No. Ditto - you may not be Jewish AND have self assurance that Jesus grew to become into something yet a classic Jewish bloke. confident - he probably meant nicely. confident - he in basic terms sought to reform some factors of Judaism. yet no - he grew to become into not a 'rabbi'. He grew to become into not some new, imaginitive 'instructor'. And this is obtrusive he did not qualify by using fact the Jewish Maschiach. He in basic terms fulfilled one among our 23 prophecies earlier he died. 'jews4jesus' - based by potential of an ordained BAPTIST Minister. Yep, damn authentic i'm 'opposed' to EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS POSING AS 'jews'! question while you're actually not a Christian, then ***why** on the earth might you CARE what Jews think of roughly Jesus??????

Answer 4

--ABSOLUTELY, he not only taught morals , but things that would endanger morals, as he illustrated very pointedly, to make his point! SUCH AS:

(Matthew 5:27-30) “. . .“YOU heard that it was said, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to YOU that everyone that keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart........

--NOW THEN in order to make his strong warning of how one could committ adultery if indeed he had the desire and right circumstance--HE SHOWS how one needs to take drastic action!
--NOT BY maiming oneself but by arranging to augment any circumstance that could develope.
---BY keeping ones distance from this person of his or her lust!
---PRAYING seriously for self-control!
---AND ANY other drastic yet reasonable action!

.Matthew 5:29 If, now, that right eye of yours is making you stumble, tear it out and throw it away from you. For it is more beneficial to you for one of your members to be lost to you than for your whole body to be pitched into Ge·hen′na. 30 Also, if your right hand is making you stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. For it is more beneficial to you for one of your members to be lost than for your whole body to land in Ge·hen′na. . .”

Answer 5

He forgot to mention he stole all his enlightened sayings from Buddha. Read some of the books paralleling the words of the two then look up who said them first.

Answer 6

He is more than that, because Jesus Christ is God himself in the flesh and the LORD and Savior of the entire human race! God bless.

Answer 7

Yes.
