@mjt1517 who said anything about 2 or 3 hermits ? I agree with ordinary means. I also have a love for Jesus although it is my view and experience that there have been and are other liberators of stature. Humans tend to be very egocentric in their interpretations. We come to america where people have been living for thousands of years and we write in the history books that america was discovered by C. Columbus in 1492.

@claudelebel55 Also, the death and resurrection of Jesus doesn't satisfy you, but this is the unchanging message of the Gospels and the Church (Orthodx, Catholic, and Protestant) for aeons. Why would you expect God's work in reconciling us to himself to be something only two or three hermits would piece together in the 21st century? God has always been at work bringing people into union with himself through pretty ordinary means.

@claudelebel55 Jesus' path isn't about performance, but the imputation of righteousness by God's own choice and empowerment through trust in his promises regarding such a salvation. Of course we can't live up to the standard that he demonstrates and demands. While our bodies are in their natural state, there is constant struggle between what our appetites want and what the Spirit of God wants. And it will continue this way until either our deaths or the resurrection, whichever comes first for us

@claudelebel55 You should ask yourself why you think Jesus isn't the only Savior of humans. Is it because you believe God should be democratic in his approach? Or that somehow it isn't fair if he designates a solitary savior? If Jesus' words are trustworthy, then why would you doubt him when he tells you that he is the only way to the Father?

@mjt1517 PS an interesting and "enlightening" book is "The third Jesus" by Deepak Chopra where he explains why most Christians find it nearly impossible to live up to the teachings of Jesus. A shift in consciousness is required without which the teachings are reduced to a bunch of rules that even the priests and preachers find almost impossible to live up to.

@mjt1517 with all due respect, this does not satisfy me as an answer. I was hoping Mike would answer but if you are not in agreement with his unorthodox perspective, then we are bound to differ. I am not one who can accept that Jesus is the one and only saviour of mankind.

@claudelebel55 Jesus was sent to die on the cross. That was his mission. It wasn't the result of reaping, but it in itself was an act of sowing. And he reaped the resurrection on the third day after his death.

@greenjack792 Actually, it is his name. The name Immanuel was not intended to be literally given to him, but was a theological note given in a prophecy.
Joseph was told to name him Jesus. Which he did. And you can see all through the New Testament that he's called Jesus, but never Immanuel.

@RPKGameVids you mean like Jesus and Mahatma Ghandi and Socrates and so many others. The karmic waves run deep but the real question is where they at peace and the answer is yes. The proof is that if they had to do it all over, they still would not compromise because peace cannot be found by selling out ..... and furthermore, it has nothing to do with being nice. Jesus was not always nice and neither was Ghandi .... but they were true. They had integrity something which not all nice people have.
Wow.!! So simple but the most proufound..
Thank your so much. :)
