B - I believe that Jesus talked about love, not being a hypocrite and
seeing ourselves within each other. I believe Jesus talked about
faith...true strong faith that could allow you to do anything as long
as it did not harm another. I also believe that Jesus talked about
shedding the self to allow the Christos within to ****ne (hide it under
a bush oh no.....). I believe that he wanted to bring people back to
the old ways pre-Moses...the most ancient beliefs of the early Hebrews
before it got changed...as I believe that Christianity got changed and
wish it were more as it was at the beginning pre-Paul and the council
of NIcene and Constantine. He came  to uphold those old laws. At the
earliest point of all book faiths their seems to be a mysticism phase
that was seemingly truer to spirit and God before those "swine got
hold of pearls" and damaged and disregarded and changed them all. To
me...this is Jesus....and he talked on heaven or one of the many
levels of heaven and that it lays symbolically within (our Christos
nature) and that there is no hell but our own fears that are a lie of
illusion. To me, everything else is politics..people wanting
power...and lies...this Christian is digging through all of that to
find that pure Christianity that Jesus spoke of.
again..my opinion...I don't speak for all.
