No. He claimed to be God. He said "I am the Alpha and Omega".
You and I will never agree if you credit ANY specific interpretation of Revelation as part of Christ's Gospel, period. It is the absolute LEAST reliable, verifiable, validated, or interpretable book of the entire Bible. No need to respond. We have no common point of agreement if you use Revelation as Gospel.
Well, for some of mankind, he showed people, via parables, some very basic truths. He cut through the social niceties and traditions to show people what was really important. He also showed a form of passive resistance (I believe). He gave to some people (not everyone believes this) the feeling that there really is a God and that we're not alone.
He was a philosopher, IMO, and he was a humanist. He displayed love for all different types of people despite societal taboos and mores.
He gave a politically trapped and oppressed people another way of looking at things. He helped them see something bigger. His teachings still give that today, that sense of, "Such-and-such may be bad but it's only worldly stuff. There will be an end to it. It's limited."
"You being a man make Yourself God......
Is It Not Written In your Law I Said you are gods" ?
....If He called them gods to whom The Word 0f God came...do you say of Him
Whom The Father sanctified and sent into the world - You are blaspheming
because I said I am The Son 0f God?" - John 10:33-36
- Are we "the sons of God" ?
- Is Jesus 'The Son Of God' ?
Is The Father in Jesus and Jesus in The Father? - John 10:38
- Are we too 0ne As The Father Is IN Jesus and Jesus Is IN The Father
that we may be IN Them THAT the world may believe The Father sent Jesus?
John 17:21
- Yes, Jesus is of The One (True) God. The Son Of God.
- We are of The One (True) God. The Sons Of God.
We with our Brother Jesus are the G-gods of God.
Us being conformed to the image of Jesus The FirstBorn Among Many Brethern.
Romans. 8:29
When will your doctrine reflect Scriptures, instead of the doctrines of men?
IMO, the important thing is what Jesus accomplished in his lifetime. He showed us His/our Father, the unconditional, loving, forgiving God who was not the God man created to validate all their atrocities to each other.
Jesus showed us that God is personally reachable by ourselves without any interference by man's laws and rules that separated us by honoring the creative minds of man, not God.
Q: "Jesus is God"? or "Jesus' death accomplished . . . ."? What is more important?
A:There is no seperating the two. "Jesus' death" could only accomplished" what it did because "Jesus is God"
Dear twin. Jesus' death could only accomplish what it did for mankind because "Jesus is the Son of God."
Remember, God did not send Himself into the world to save sinners. The Bible says "God sent His Son into the world to save sinners."
But the important thing is what the mission and goal was/is. God did not send His Son into the world to prove Jesus is God but to SAVE SINNERS.
