i meant that the thread was over 300 posts long.
So what do you believe about Jesus??

God is the substance of everything, Jesus had this knowledge but he was all man. Divinity is to be seen and then that power is yours. He saw like many other prophets.

not sure if this has been discussed here but,
discipler, weren't there many before him who claimed to be christ?
"He didn't claim to be merely a prophet. His claim was unique - the eternal Son of God and savior of humanity. This is why he stands in contrast to the dead gurus of world religions. "

"the Catholic and other churches are actually correct when they identify relativism, the belief that there is no absolute truth to guide human behaviour, as one of the evils of our times; but you won't find absolute truth if you look for it where it cannot be found: in doctrines, ideologies, sets of rules, or stories. What do al of these have in commons? They are made up of thought. Thought can at best point ot the truth, but it never is the truth. That's why Buddhists say "the finger pointing at the moon is not the moon." All religions are equally false and equally true, dependiong on how you use them. You can use them in the service of the ego, or you can use them in the service of the Truth. If you believe your religion is the Truth, you are using it in the service of the ego. Used in such a way, religion becomes ideology and creates an illusory sense of superiority as well as division and conflict between people. In the service of the Truth, religious teachings represent signposts or maps left behind by awakened humans to assist you in spiritual awakening, that is to say, in becoming free of identificartion with form.
The truth is inseparable from who you are. Yes, you are the Truth. If you look for it elsewhere, you will be deceived every time. The very Being that you are is Truth. Jesus tried to convey that when he said, "I am the way and the truth and the life" These words uttered by Jesus are one of the most powerful and direct pointers to the Truth, if understood correctly. If misinterpreted, however, they become a great obstacle. jesus speaks of the innermost I Am, the essence identity of every man and woman, every life-form, in fact. He speaks of the life that you are. Some Christian mystics have called it the Christ within; Buddhist call it your Buddha nature; for Hindus, it is Atman, the in-dwelling God. When you are in touch with that dimension within yourself--and being in touch with it is your natural state, not some miraculous achievement--all your actions and relationships will reflect the oneness with all life that you sense deep within. This is love. Laws, commandments, rules and regulations are necessary for those who cut themselves off from who they are, the Truth within."
