the divinity of Jesus

"Jesus' flesh is the tangible manifestation of God in and for this world
and the visible way to reach the mystery of God." - Jon Sobrino Jesus the Liberator

One of the biggest problems with mainstream Christianity is the insistence on the necessity of believing that Jesus is God descended so one may attain heaven.

Many myths from and before that period of time that Jesus walked speak of the gods descending to Earth in the form of a human.

There are also myths that speak of virgin birth.

Any one who has any understanding of the Catholic religion should understand that wherever the Catholics have gone as missionaries they have taken local gods and added them to their pantheon as saints.

This is a clever way to get the followers of other gods to also worship your god.

The divinity of Jesus is a problem in that it takes the emphasis off of the living Christ.

Common Christian belief is that Jesus died for all mankind's sins.

Therefore Jesus was selfless.

Jesus lived and died for us, not for himself.

When the major concern becomes whether or not you believe that Jesus is a deity, as that belief is your key to heaven, then you have totally missed the point that Jesus was trying to make.

If you are worried about going to heaven then you are concerned with yourself which is not selfless.

Jesus asks us to love our neighbor as ourselves for two reasons:

1) If we are as concerned with what happens to our neighbor as much as we are concerned about ourselves then we are not likely to commit acts of aggression,

2) If we treat others with respect then that respect will be reflected back to us (by civilized individuals) making our lives more enjoyable and fulfilling. (This is the intelligent objective way to live.)

Most people do not realize that the behavioral disorders - lack of manners or failure to conform to the perceived social norm - perceived in others is a reflection of the behavioral disorders others see in them.

Jesus set out a blueprint for mankind to create heaven on Earth.

Of Jesus' words and Jesus' life we truly know very little as anyone who has ever experienced life will understand that a word's definition may change over time, that in the act of translation words that do not mean what was intended by the author are substituted (change the word fear in the King James Version of the Bible to awe, which it should be, and you have an entirely different book), that men will corrupt scripture (try to get someone to write anything without, meaning to or not, changing the nuance or putting their own spin on it), that men make mistakes, that men that have con-vinced themselves that things are a certain way will be emotionally crushed when they realize they have been mistaken and that men that have a vested interest in the status quo of existing institutions are not likely to give up their position easily (the position of Pope was a purchased position during the Dark Ages and was, perhaps, the main reason those ages lingered as wealth corrupts -remember Matthew 6:24).


Mahavira

To liberate one's self, Mahavira taught the necessity of right faith (samyak-darshana), right knowledge (samyak-gyana), and right conduct (samyak-charitra').

Aneka-ntava-da is one of the most important and basic doctrines of Jainism - the principle of pluralism.

According to aneka-ntava-da, truth and reality are perceived differently from different points of view, and no single point of view is the complete truth.

Jains compare attempts to explain absolute truth with adhgajanya-yah, or the maxim of the "blind men and an elephant".

In this parable, one man felt the trunk of an elephant, another the tusks, another the ears, another the tail. All the blind men believed they understood the true entire appearance of the elephant, and yet, due to their narrow perspectives they only understood a small portion of the elephant.

This principle is more formally stated by observing that objects are infinite in their qualities and modes of existence, so they cannot be completely grasped in all aspects and manifestations by finite human perception.

The historic origins of aneka-ntava-da can be traced back to the teachings of Ma-havi-ra, the 24th Jain Tirthankara.

The dialectical concepts of sya-dva-da (conditioned viewpoints) and nayava-da (partial viewpoints) arose from aneka-ntava-da, providing it with more detailed logical structure and expression.

The Sanskrit compound an-eka-anta-va-da literally means "doctrine of non-exclusivity"; it is translated as "skepticism" or "non-absolutism".

An-eka-nta "uncertainty, non-exclusivity" is the opposite of eka-nta (eka+anta) "exclusiveness, absoluteness, necessity".

Aneka-ntava-da encourages its adherents to consider the views and beliefs of their rivals and opposing parties.

Proponents of anekantva-da apply this principle to religion and philosophy, reminding themselves that any religion and philosophy, even Jainism, that clings too dogmatically to its own tenets, is committing an error based on its limited point of view.

The principle of aneka-ntava-da influenced Mahatma Gandhi's principles of religious tolerance.

This web site is not a commercial web site and is presented for educational purposes only.



This website defines a new religious ideology to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has created a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of the religion aptly named The Truth of the Way of Life - a rational religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with God through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of Life are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a “hate crime.”

This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world central banking system, mass media worldwide, the industrial military entertainment complex of America and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on cooperation. Cooperation does not occur at the point of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through mass media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior mass media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.

All views and opinions presented on this web site are the views and opinions of individual human men and women that, through their writings, showed the capacity for intelligent, reasonable, rational, insightful and unpopular thought.
