Jesus is not accepted as the Son of God by all religions. However, Jesus is accepted as one of the long lines of revered prophets sent by God to advise and counsel His people here on earth by many of the great religions on earth. This influence impossibly guided Jesus and the disorder will attest to his place among the prophets. As with many previous prophets, the authorities killed him. He was condemned by the Hebrews of His day and was nailed to a tree by the Romans because he threatened the establishments of both orders. As did so many of the other prophets that came along, by threatening the power of the establishment, particularly the very word of the priests, at best you were cast our, at worst you were sacrificed. Even today, those priests in the Roman Church, who speak outside of the official word are threatened by the power of the church or excommunicated. And there are radicals out there that may threaten to kill those priests, just as they killed Jesus.
My ultra conservative Christian brothers and sisters may want to stop reading now.
Jesus was not a conservative Christian; Jesus was not a Liberal rabble-rouser. Jesus was sent to speak against the established order and restore God’s word of Love.
I have been a Christian all my life and believed in what the Bible taught and what the church leaders preached. In the late 1980s I had some really tough experiences of loss, failures, and frustrations. I delved deeper into my meditations; I became a prayer minister; I began studying the daily life of Jesus; it was drilled into my life that Jesus was a Christian, but He wasn’t. He was always a Jew, so I began re-reading everything I had learned with the understanding that Jesus was Jewish not Christian.
There were several other Gospels written about Jesus that were buried by the religious leaders in Rome because they did not like them, or they did not like the authors. For example, read the Gospel of Mary; think how this small gospel, supposedly written by a woman, would have changed our century, if allowed in our Bible back in the 4th century.
Light and prayer surrounded my thinking and my aura; my entire relationship with Jesus change; and explosion of birdsong and bees singing in harmony awakened my senses eenlightening me that Jesus did not come to earth to begin a new religion; He came to earth to open our eyes to the Love of God and the brotherhood of all mankind; not the separation of people according to color or origin or gender.
We are of one family; the family of God; and, Jesus is our teacher, our guide through the hard times, reminding us that our Father is with us always in rough times and in good times. I am not better than you. I love you. This is the message; this is why God sent Jesus to lead us.
