How I see Jesus: Well I see Jesus as an ascended master whom we should listen to. It seems a lot of Christians don't. If someone was to approach me with "Do you read your bible?" I might answer "Do you read your Sermon on the Mount?" Jesus delivered a message from God [God and Goddess? The Powers that be?] on how to live on this earth peacefully with our fellow creatures. Unfortunately certain people didn't like the message so naturally they killed the messenger. Did Jesus rise from the dead after 3 days? Let's get something straight. That's the wrapping on the Gift. The Gift as I see it is the teachings of Jesus, namely The Sermon on the Mount. The wrapping is the story of the virgin birth and his rising from the dead. Is it true. Maybe. Maybe not. What's true is the Sermon on the Mount. Is Jesus the Son of God. Yes he is. We are also the children of God. So what else is new?Basically as I see it, the Sermon on the Mount is the quintessential teachings of Jesus and everything else is the wrapping on the Gift.
