In the teachings of Christ, in word and action, we find the flower of the teachings given to the Children of Israel. Time and again Christ demonstrated love for all of humanity. He truly felt that there was but One Humanity. At no time was there rejection of a Hebrew, Samaratin, Greek or Roman. We can read in the Gospels of the New Testament of the love that He showed to all.
While some of His actions or words seem harsh, it was given to guide and teach. It can be a difficult thing to understand, but we must rise out of our own egos and perceptions and see it from the aspect of a parent's love. I say a "parent's love", because it is the easiest depiction that most know of at this time. Some would look to 'unconditional love', but that leads one to accept all without offering any guidance and this is not what humanity truly needs. Left on our own, we continue to divide one from another and dominate others.
To fulfill the Community aspects given to the Hebrews, sacrifice is required and Christ sacrificed all. It is when we all strive and are willing to sacrifice self for the Community, will we truly establish a Community of Light. The Community of Light, is a Community based on six couples (twelve people), that keep God forever as their guiding and unifying example.
However, to accomplish this we must strip away the man made dogmas that we find in other writings. These writings are also found within the New Testament. Evidence of this can be found in several areas and a only a few will be given as examples. Please contemplate the following versuses and search for the ultimate realization from God.
I Corinthians, Chapter 11, verse 14 "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man has long hair, it is a shame unto him?"
This passage directly contradicts today's ever present image of Christ with long hair.
In the debate of the Gentiles keeping the Law, it is found in Acts Chapter 15, it was decided to not burden them, because God would rebuild what was lost. So it was determined that there were a few things that they should no longer participate in, but those things that were 'uncomfortable' they removed as a requirement.
Other examples of where Christianity, on the whole, has gone astray from God's teachings can be found in comparisons of the New Testament and the Old Testament. It was Paul who taught that the teachings given to the Children of Israel were less than what Christ gave to us, and were no longer necessary. I refer specifically to this passage found in Hebrews, Chapter 10, verse 9. If this were true, then Christ would have not followed the Laws, He would not have continually reached out to Hebrews. Also, if one would read Psalms 40:8, of which the first half of verse 9 in Hebrews is from, one can see that it is the Law that is within ones heart that allows one to follow God's Will. So doesn't it stand to reason that, without God's Laws, one can not follow His Will?
As Christianity spread throughout surrounding lands, and to attract more followers, more and more of God's Laws were ignored. No longer was circumcision required of men, and pork was acceptable food. Also, birthdays were celebrated, which is a celebration of life. There is only one reference in the Bible to anyone celebrating a birthday which was King Herod who had John the Baptist's head removed as a present during the event. Another celebration that Christians celebrate in ways that contradict God's Law's is Christmas. Look into Jeremiah Chapter 10, and we see that we are not to bring trees into the home, cause them stand upright and decorate them with gold and silver, besides the aspect that it also is a birthday celebration.
There is one last aspect that should be presented. This pertains to those who profess to call upon Christ's name for salvation, healing, blessings, and other requests. In doing this, they repeatedly say in 'Jesus Christ's heavenly name'. They do not realize that Jesus is not His name and never could have been. If you look at the Hebrew alphabet, there is no letter J. This has come to us from the Greek. Actually if you look at the eptimology of the name, you find an interesting realization of what is truly being said in that name. Jesus as a name has been derived from two other words that over time have been condensed through humanity's continual slang usage to Jesus from Jay-Zeus. Jay still means 'victory to' in Sanskrit, so what are we really saying in the above example?
There are some who will say that it was translated from Y'shua, however that is His spiritual name not the given name. So let us look into other areas to see if we can determine His true given name. Within tablets found in India, that were written during His time, we see that His name was Isa, actually they refer to Him as Saint Isa. Another area inwhich we find several references to Christ, is within the Koran (the Scripture of Islam). It is here that we see His given name was Esa. As in the tradition of the Mormons, truth is offered from two witnesses, and Christ's given name was truly Esa.
