I was reading my Grail Quest tarot earlier and got the Gnostic Christ card and it was very cool and spoke about how the Gnostics believe everyone's soul can emulate Christ and that is why Christ came to show the way to our true super human potential. The cards are beautiful and that was the final card I drew amongst a story of cards about Knights and the Grail and those wonderous tales. How do you feel about Jesus Christ? I believe he is indeed a son of God and an ally and friend to me and probably has saved my skin more times than I can count. I felt that Christ energy within the artwork of that card and the meaning of that card.. The sun shined down through the window into me nude in my bath tub reading my cards and I felt it. I got it. I respect Christ as a great teacher and speak no ill will of him even though my beliefs would probably be Shamanism/UFOlogy related even though I know there is truth about Christ even though religion has manipulated the fact for greed and to manipulate mankind for aeons. But that really isn't Christ's fault is it but man's fault..So tell me.. How do you feel about Jesus Christ?

If you look at his life, even with the miracles aside, he really was a revolutionary. In a time where certain people were absolutely shunned and hated, he let them in with open arms. In a place where corrupt men ran the religion and the government was oppressive, he stood up to both. If you put aside everything in the New Testament but his teachings, he was all about peace and love, and the worship of God, and if you also include the Book of Thomas as a part of the Bible, he demonstrated how everyone has access to God at any time.

He was a great teacher, and a great social revolutionary. The problem with Christ, as I see it, is that so many versions of Christianity worship Christ AS God. And he wasn't. He was very firm about that. He was the Way, but he wasn't THE GOD. This really bothers me, because it's putting someone before God, and I know that was never Christ's intention.

I believe Jesus Christ is the son of God. and of course I believe in God. yet I am not religious at all really. I dont go to church or anything. I believe modern religion is mostly wrong. so many try to twist the meaning of the bible just to support their own beliefs. I choose my own way and path to follow God and his Son.

I respect and honor the teachings of this great man. That he was a highly evolved person I have no doubt. But, I am Pagan, so I have no belief in him in the Christian way.

As with most Pagans I know, I've nothing against Christianity, other than the insistence from some that it is the only way.

Kinda leaves out the untold millions of human beings that had the misfortune to be born before the rise of Judeo Christianity, doesn't it?

I believe that Christ, Mohammad, Buddha, Krishna, Moses,Abraham, were all manifestations of the same god, incarnated at different places and times, to different people. I mean think about it: if you believe that the Muslim god is different than the Christian god, you are basically duotheistic. If you believe that each religion stemmed from different gods, you're pretty much on par with the Greeks and Romans. I thought we've evolved from there. And, if you look right into the words of each, you'll see they largely all say the same thing, just in different ways.

There are many ways up a mountain. To me, it's not important which path you choose. What's important is that you undertook the journey.

AMEN!

Hollywood preachers on the tube bother me a lot. Why do I have to send money for blessings & Heavenly rewards ? I never understood that I can actually buy my way to eternity, I always thought good will towards mankind was the path.

And their buy-y-ing a stair-air-way...to heaven.

The stairway to heaven certainly is not built of discarded crutches and wheelchairs and gurneys. It's built on the arms, shoulders, and backs of those who are willing to cradle the wounded on the journey. Jesus is the divine concierge.
