Jesus was NOT a Christian, and never read a word of the New Testament Gospels.

From what records we have of what Jesus taught....it seems he was teaching 'something new' and many disagreed with him for it and called him blasphemous for what he taught.

So what he he was said to read some things for the OT....that doesnt mean he followed it as a 'whole'. I use quotes from many scriptures and cultures...but I take no belief as a 'whole'.

Jesus came with 'new ideas' and the people couldnt understand them.

Why did they kill him? Dont you think if he taught all things the OT said he would of been accepted?

His teachings of god differ alot from the OT image of god. People make excuses such as well OT was a time of wrath....and NT is the time of gods grace. People are going to see what they wish to see....its all due to perspective and their own desires of what they wish to find. If you wish to find evil in the book...you can find it. If you wish to find good in the book you can find it. If you want to find earthly wisdom's in the book it cane be found, if you want to find spiritual wisdom's in the book they can be found.

The idea that Jesus didnt read the NT gospels makes no difference. A better point if 'do we really know the true story of Jesus'....since the writings were some time after his death. How accurate can any of the writings be from the entire bible as 'truth'...man changed beliefs all the time and evolved the old beliefs to be tied to the new ones. Old gods tied into new gods. Old rituals tied into new rituals. One cultures ideas merged with another cultures ideas. One story from the past gets rewritten by a different people that had a different perspective of the same story.

Not that it matters...but I find very little spiritual wisdom and spiritual natures in the OT.

Jesus was never a Christian.

Christianity is the idolatrous, Satanic, and pagan metaphysical doctrines of the Pharisee Paul.

Jesus' "wisdom" did not derive from any written word.

He received the same Revelations as Moses, Isaiah, Daniel and Ezekiel: the Vision of the "Son of man" and the Revelation of the "resurrection" as a Doctrine of 'Rebirth'.

Paul's substitution, for that Doctrinal conflict with the Pharisees, of the blood-thirsty, idolatrous doctrine of "vicarious atonement" resulted directly in the slaughter of millions of Jews during the Holocaust.

Michael, I gather that your post reflects a bit your obsesssions, but you're wrong, sorry! The Apostle Paul's writings had exactly zero to do with the Holocaust.
