Jesus, Teacher of Enlightenment

Jesus came as the revealer of a new truth, a new conception of man. Indeed, the Messiah. He came as the revealer of the only truth that could lead his people out of their trials and troubles—out of their bondage.” ~Ralph Waldo Trine

    I think there are very few Christians who would argue with the above quote, yet many of them act as if it is a lie. To put it in simple language, Jesus came to tell them that their interpretation of scripture was wrong. They were interpreting spiritual things as if they were physical resulting in false behavior. They were getting the prophecies about God and the servants of God confused with prophecies about Satan and the other fallen angels. And they were accepting the written opinions of priests and rabis as scripture equal to the revealed truths of the true prophets.

    Jesus' mission was to correct those errors, to provide a true interpretation of scripture, and to provide additional new prophecies to complement them and eliminate confusion.

    Instead, many Christians seem to have turned back to the old Pharisaic interpretation of scripture and seem to be giving the old testament greater weight than the new when the inevitable conflicts occur.

    But then, that is one reason why none of what Jesus taught was put into writing while he was alive and none of the true twelve apostles hand picked and trained by Jesus ever wrote any down any of those teachings, or any of the scripture that is in the Bible.

    Jesus came as a teacher and a prophet to teach truth and The Way, the path to enlightenment for each of us. He didn't come to be worshiped and it is clear that He was not worshiped by His apostles and His disciples. It was a later generation, led by the false priest Paul, who started the idea of worshiping Jesus rather than following his teachings.

    So if we all learn to accept that Jesus came primarily as a teacher, than we must take our appropriate role as students and, as students are supposed to do, listen to what the teacher said and act accordingly.
