    The Divine, the One, the Creator, God, they’re all terms for the same entity.

    And idk, you’ll have to tell me what part of Jesus’ message or life just wandering around and apparently healing the sick and feeding the needy when he was not preaching about righteousness and love, you think is problematic. Again, the USA of the time killed a revolutionary, God fearing Palestinian man and then used his image to Frankenstein a religion that looked good from afar (because Jesus always looked good) but is nothing but an excuse for immorality and union against a banner for immoral people to go around the world murdering and pillaging (from the Crusades to the Western incursions in West Asia today, as exemplified recently byPete Hegseth). It’s not Jesus’ fault some evil hellbound cunts killed him and used his image to profit from it. 😔🤷‍♂️

      According to you. But that’s in your head, you can’t demonstrate that it exists at all.

      And idk, you’ll have to tell me what part of Jesus’ message or life just wandering around and apparently healing the sick and feeding the needy

      He did some of that. He was also wasteful, racist, and delusional.

      when he was not preaching about righteousness and love, you think is problematic.

      “Listen to me, salvation is only through me, bad things will happen if you do not submit to my dad.” That is not love, that is a threat. Ain’t no hate like christian “love”.

      Kind of. But he let himself get crucified because he thought he was a magic man. He was not a great person. His best teachings originated elsewhere. I’m not pretending he never did anything good (if we generously assume that any of the bible comes close to accurately depicting his life), but too many people give him too much credit.

        That’s not “according to me” nor a matter of belief, it’s factual: monotheists in different times and places have called God by different names. It’s what it is, people have different languages and roots and all, after all.

        I don’t think you understand what you’re talking about. The “passing through him” means changing your mind through his words (or equivalent, but he’s the one alive talking then) so you can better please the Father. It’s nothing new (“I didn’t come to deny the law and the prophets but to put it into action” or something like that), but he was a revivalist in a time of struggle, loss of guidance and Romanisation. And of course other people also inspired and transformed Jesus, he mentions Solomon himself after all, we all mould and are moulded by our circumstances.
