Reply #11: Interesting Book "The Passover Plot" written by a Jewish Theologian [View All]

[Liberation Angel]

says basically that whether or not you believe that Jesus was the Messiah that HE certainly believed he was and did everything he could to be in conformity with the scriptures predicting his work and life and death.

I will say that the idea that he actually faked his death and escaped to continue his work "underground" with Mary the Magdalene is an attractive scenario to me: he did what he did to make a point and then went into exile and hiding...

A man, not a G-d, (any more than any of us are manifestations of the Creator(s)) but who was, or believed he was, a prophet or "chosen" spiritual boddhisattva who came to believe he was in fact predicted and did all he could to make sure his message of peace and goodness and loving one's neighbor and willingness to sacrifice one's life for others would be ingrained for all time in human history.

He did say" I am one in God and you are one in me" (meaning we are all one in god) which is essentially saying we are all from a divine source and our lives are sacred reflections of the divine.

That is not a bad concept to me.

Not at all.
