Personally, I believe that who’s right and who’s making it up is irrelevant to our current situation. I believe they can all be used to help teach us more about ourselves and how we should treat those that we see as lesser than us.
The idea that a man could be great on his own was not a popular idea in ancient times. Any time a man was great he was thought of as being an offspring of a deity. There are many different beliefs about who Yeshua/Jesus was. He never once made himself out to be anything other than human. Throughout his teachings he always referred to his father in heaven and how without him he was no different than you and me. If Yeshua/Jesus did not see himself as anything special and gave all the credit of his many miracles to his father and the Holy Spirit, then we must ask ourselves why is he seen as such a divine being? The problem I have with the way Christians tell the story of Yeshua/Jesus is they make it sound like he did all these great things himself or that in some magical way he was God himself in human flesh. He said, “I am nothing more than a man blessed by God.” He was nothing more than a vessel for God to work through. He was chosen by God to show the people of the world what their lives could be like if they fully gave their lives to him and let him guide their every decision. He had a choice and chose to do everything our father asked of him. He showed his humanity in the garden before his death when he asked our father why he asked him to go through so much pain and agony the following day. He knew it had to be done and was fully committed to seeing it through, but as a human he had to be reassured that it was indeed what our father wanted him to do. His teachings and his life are an example of the power of love. Love does not discriminate and treats everyone equal. When we all work together with love at our center there is truly nothing we cannot accomplish.
