1. The Metaphorical Jesus:
Over the status of Jesus and how to remove the apparent contradiction and the moral trouble with Jesus being tortured and killed on the cross, it can be worthwhile to consider this thought:
if you consider Jesus to be a kind of symbolism that goes like the following, I think you'll be better off. Alright, Jesus is (now) to be considered "purely symbolic" and it should spark these lines.
1. It might be that God loves humanity so much that he would incarnate on earth as "his Son, Jesus".
2. But this thought is so abruptly wrong because humanity loves God back and can't bear such an experience. Thus God is asked to refrain from this and the humanity to God and vice versa of love is by this affirmed!
Hallelujah! Enjoy your religion!
Just in case it's worth something, it may be that my interpretation as suggestion to Christianity may unite it to Islam and Judaism because it hypothetically can be accepted in all three, yet only has a definite status in one -> Concl: Theology stays the same, but the 3, JCI now with the possibility to share a greater deal of understanding and coming across as honest, cross-religiously with this.

2. The Jesus Christ as Symbol for Revenge on Sinners:
So on to Jesus Christ: can it be that "Jesus died under _sinners_ (as Pilatus chose the awful criminal to a fine man, Jesus) and that we are to put skulls of sinners under his cross for him (as humanity) so that he can go/fly back home to Heaven?"
The meaning here of course is that Humanity is _set religiously free_ from sins by killing/punishing the sinners over them killing "innocence"/superiority of God impersonated by Jesus!
With both of these interpretations the alleged paradox of Jesus vanishes completely! The latest is though much harder, much more cool!
What is your thought on this? I've now delivered two interpretations on the part of
Jesus and the meaning of his person in the Bible, one is metaphorical!
The meaning here of course is that Humanity is _set religiously free_ from sins by killing/punishing the sinners over them killing "innocence"/superiority of God impersonated by Jesus!
This is in line with my investigation of the Bible as an important cultural document, over its metaphorics and wisdom, if not the facts are found as such, more or less correctly written to the best ability of that time. I'm NOT a Christian, I'm a Scientologist (who respects all other "beliefs and creeds", according to the teachings of Scientology itself and its great tolerance)!

I must also remind you that the 10 Commandments are not admitted to enemies as such!
ReplyDeleteIn line with Jesus of Revenge.
So to combine this with "if you're hurt by anyone then turn the other cheek", I'd say that this may mean that there is something more to consider other than pain and violence that one wants to communicate. Nr. 2: When one first wants to turn the other cheek then it may be for returning insult or violence twice as hard back (only because one hates something pretty strongly! This is all in line with Jesus of Revenge!
