Where has the Jesus of History gone, and how do we find him?
This is our search and our spiritual adventure on this site. There will be no Christian messages here. We are interested only in the pre-Christian historical wisdom teacher named Jesus. It is his own teachings that we shall explore.
Let's face it! It's time to take Jesus back from the establishment Church that has tried to dominate society for a couple of thousand years.
Jesus was a wisdom teacher.
The readers of the Jesus Novel will be intrigued and inspired by the new image of Jesus enacted in modern language and dramatic scenes. Yes, Jesus has loving sex. He gets angry. He drinks. He socializes with men and women on equal terms. He is under severe mental stress. He is a great strategist in raising a small army of non-violent followers. He practices what he preaches. Jesus is all of these, and more.
He was not the Jesus Christ of the Christian Church. Let the Christian Church have their Mystical Christ, the miracle worker, the savior of the world! Has the world been saved yet? No! Did The Second Coming happen in which Jesus as the Christ was coming back to earth in Peter and Paul's own lifetime? No! A resounding No!
What these people do is alter Jesus' message in his teaching that the Kingdom of God arrives now when you start practicing now in your own life the will of God. Put in modern terms, when you live from the integrative center within and without, you will have an effective and purposeful life in the world. When you stay in your personal ego, trying to get all your personal desires met, you are killing yourself even before you die.
This is what this site is all about. Look for a terrific novel dramatizing the real issues the real Jesus had to face among his own disciples who wanted to make him the Christian martyr he became so they could then preach the Risen Christ and start a new religion, which they successfully did.
My chosen purpose is to bring out the true secret Jesus, the 'living presence' Jesus taught about but nobody during his lifetime seemed to get. These secrets have been kept all too long. The real teachings are extremely dangerous at the physical and spiritual levels, as you will see in the amazing Jesus statements. Jesus lived and died in the teachings. Every last one of his twelve main disciples died by violence.
Mark my concern.
