Cool Jd, but if I might point out one thing before your return. Jesus said if you love me, keep my commandments. His commandments came from the father, as he did not speak of his own. All Christ did, he did for love of father, and love of man. No worship demanded, no attempt to build himself up; it was all about his "fathers" will, and that's my point.

Btw, sorry for my previous long post; theres a bit much to chew on in there.

I don't want anyone to be confused - I'm a de facto antinomian after all. (look it up on wikipedia if you're interested)

However, Christ is "the truth". How people make their way towards that can often be a very hidden thing. So I'm far from consigning all of those who are not formally "Christian" to hell or what have you. Far from it. So far, that I'm still not totally decided on the issue of "final restoration" (the idea held by some early Christians that eventually all will be reconciled in peace to Christ.)

However, Jesus Christ is the truth, the meeting of Divinity and Creation, and the summation of all things visible and invisible. It would be foolish to encourage people to take "the long road" rather than the shorter one, at the very least.

Something to chew on.. ..

It has been written that none come to the father (The Divine) but by Jesus Christ. â??Christâ?� simply means anointed one. Anointed would translate into blessed, and blessed into holy. Jesus was certainly blessed in that he led those who were spiritually hungry towards inner peace through his teachings and example on earth. He spoke in code, but the code is easily deciphered when one places love, and spirit at its base. Jesus spoke of spiritual freedom, â??The truth shall make you freeâ?� he spoke of heaven on earth, â??Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven", and "Behold, the kingdom of heaven is at handâ?�. He embraced the divine as his father, and as Love. He claimed that he and his father were one, and that he did his kathers will. If true, this would mean that love was made fully manifest in Jesusâ?? inner man. The bible states that God is love, and I can believe this about God, as love is what leads mankind into both inner and outer peace; this is what it means worship in the beauty of holiness. (To embrace love) Jesus was truly anointed by this spirit, and that was his message in life, and his true testimony. This is what we are called to serve. Not Christ the "man", not the Christian view of "God", but rather to â??honorâ?� the divine by embracing "love" in "Spirit". (Love is truth)


"We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God."


The bible teaches that Jesus was punished for our iniquities, but many believe this is true only in the sense that mans sins are what killed him. The people during his time harbored great resentment towards Jesus, along with bitterness, and anger. (According to scripture) His preaching was considered blasphemy among the religious ones of the day, and it was their hardened hearts, and spiritual emptiness that put Jesus to death in the end. He showed the world that even under threat of death how powerful love can be. He submitted fully to it, and he died for it, so we all who would hear his testimony might find truth in his message, in his "spirit.". He showed compassion until the very end, and this is what it means to be free. Jesus is now known as â??God incarnateâ??, the â??messiahâ??, and â??king of kingsâ??. It was Love that made this happen. He found his freedom in love, and within self on a level that very few will ever attain.

Jesus may have died at the hands of the so called â??wickedâ?�, but he lived more passionately, and more free in his 30 + years of life than do most who ever live at all. He may, or may not be that which the fundamentalist Christians make him out to be, but he certainly had divinity in him. He walked like a god in his time, and he is remembered as one as well. This is what love can do, and this is how we come to know and experience the divine. We do it by embracing love just like the Christ man did. We need not worship Jesus, nor do we need believe in him for that matter. All we need do is believe in, and embrace love on a deep, spiritual level. Love is the divine, as well a the Christ manâ??s god. This fulfills the scripture that in order to come to God, we must first go through Christ. Love can make kings, (even gods) out of mere peasants, and we come to embrace the Christ man simply by embracing love as he did.

Think about this, The humble son of a carpenter becomes known as God in the flesh. That is a profound reality, and not something to set aside, or to ignore. Love is the most powerful thing on earth, and this has been proven through the way Jesus is viewed today. He was/is a truly inspiring individual to many of us, and his life can certainly give hope to those downtrodden in heart. He rose after his death in "spirit", and through the religion now called Christianity. Entire books are written in his name, people all over the world worship him as God, and his name will live on. Love was Jesusâ?? way, and love is the way of all things divine.


Love is NOT limited to any one religion, and if God is infact love, then he is everywhere, and in everyone who chooses to embrace him as that "Spirit". Jesus showed us the way, and built the bridge for all men to God. (Love)
