Doubts undermining Christianity:

So where do all this lead us? We believe in a lot of these metaphysical or supernormal entities, but we do not believe in religion. As well as we do not think the spiritual entities care much for them either. But they use the religous channels if they think they might serving their purpose – both good and evil.

The biggest problem with Jesus’ teaching is that it does not deliver on its promises. The very most of the people through their whole life never get their prayers fulfilled. 

And the totally good heavenly father, the only one that is all good can not be the same as the almighty God. Because that would be contradictory and inconsistent. Considering all the hardship, catastrophes, plagues, diseases, pain and suffering the Almighty has poured out on human kinds throughout all of our history.

Chastity

We do not really understand where that feverishly demand in the Christian churches for chastity comes from. Not anywhere in the Gospels do Jesus preach chastity. Raised in the hose of Maria and Joseph, that after him, had at least 7 more children. And by learning this we will assume they enjoyed a rather active sexual relationship. Jesus view on the subject would likely be accordingly.

On himself he recognizes that almost every man has a hard time not lusting for every hot chick that comes by. He acknowledges that marriage might be a too hard a bargain to some.

The Gospels tells us that he encounters a series of women. Even that he like every rock-star had a lot of groupies following him around. We must concede the most likely truth is; he enjoyed maybe more than his fair share. Considering his popularity among the ladies.

We find it very peculiar the celibacy demand for the clergies in the catholic tradition. All the time we know for a fact, according to the Gospels, that Peter who they claim was the very first pope, actually was married.

Breaking with the old traditions.

Christ’s teachings is much closer to the ideas of Zoroaster than they are to the traditions described in The Old Testament and the Torah.

 It is Zoroaster that proclaim the eternally locked war between good and evil. And comes up with the idea of one Holy father as the champion God of good. As well as the understanding that your actions in this life bear consequences for your next exsistence and for the final resurrection and eternal life.

Jesus’ proclamations brakes significantly with the Jews* beliefs and traditions. It is more when it comes to the old prophets sayings and predictions about The Messiah the Gospels refers to The Old Testament. Like for to justify Jesus’ as being him. All of this we believe are put in there in aftermath. Just for this purpose.  For the church’s demand to pinpoint him as the anointed one. 

We do not think Jesus had any focus on or mentioned the old predictions much. If he wanted to disclose his true identity as The Son of God, by simply state; " I am the Messiah."

But he never did that. What he repeatedly stated about himself was; "I am the son of man."   

Christ's relations to 2 holy antecedents.

But, even though we kind of made Jesus our champion of holy men so far in the history, we will not in any way classify our convictions to be traditional christians. We find several problems with the gospels in The New Testament. They are somewhat contradictory. There are things in them we think are added in in aftermath to serve the purpose of the church. Quotes we are convinced Jesus never said or put it like that.

We do not think Jesus died a virgin.

We think its likely he had several sexual relationships with several women.

Towards the end of his life we think he went steady with Maria Magdalena. Who we think was a black beauty from Ethiopia.

Christ probably left Palestine for a number of years to travel the world. This journey took him to The Far East where he got acquainted with Buddhist ideas, as well as he on a longer stay in Iran/Syria got to study Zoroastrian teachings quite thoroughly. Before he made his synthesis and started his life’s mission well back in Galilee.  

Jesus’ true revolution:

The really revolutionary about Jesus’ new teaching is the profound emphasis on empathy, compassion and love. Suddenly here comes a guy that claims we all have a passionately loving father in Heaven, that kind of looks after us, even if we should failure.  That even after total failure we can get a second chance. That the demand for compassion and love is an equally strong commandment as to worship, fear and love only one God. That The Holy Father is warm and forgiving, not jealous and vengeful like the easily raging God that is described in the old Testament.

On top of that he is challenging people to leave their greedy, selfish, egoistic and complacent attitude behind. For to replace it with humbleness, mercy and kindness in serving others and do good. Even today among those who calls themselves Christians of different kinds this is practiced only by some very few.   

We have to admit that the World today could definitely benefit from some reinforcement of these pillars of his teaching. Because in these modern times it seems that Mammon is more or less succeeding in demonizing the minds of the entire lot of human kind to worship him more frantically than ever before.

Christ The Revolutionary

When it comes to Christ he is indisputable the one person with the most hands on approach to his mission. His genuine work with healing sick and waking up dead lack comparison to anyone.  In a way almost all his performance is challenging. It kind of forces you to take a stand about beliving in him or not. You can not just go like: So this Jesus guy did all this miracles. So what? If you accept he was a historical person. And you accept he did those astonishing miracles that are described by numerous witnesses. Then it is no way around it than to accept he was an absolutely unique and extraordinary human being with tremendous powers. It would be worth while listening to his teachings. And then I mean: Not listening through the filters of any church presentation. But try to cut out what is put in there by the church in aftermath, to serve the churches’ desire for totalitarian ruling of peoples lives. Cut down to the core, - the essential of his truly revolutionary principles.

First hand teachings:

The two most outstanding humans in all the religions are without doubt Guantama-Buddha and Jesus Christ. In their teachings they are both reckoned as gods or of godly posture. There is a third person; Muhammad. But, he do not belong in this heat. We will discuss his career  in a later post.

Both Buddha and Jesus are by heart anti/non violent and pacifistic to the core. And both their teachings put great emphasize on humbleness. A very appealing aspect in Budha’s teaching is that virtually anyone can walk the path he walked. Its just a matter of appropriate meditation that will make you obtain transcendental or spiritual existence. In that sense it is absolute democratic: Everyone can do it if you just put your mind to it. You might actually be able to give yourself salvation. The downside with Buddhism though is how they envision the state of Nirvana.
