Now
we are watching if Church can really improve and instead of preaching
Peter's religion move to preach real Christ teachings. So far, we
observe that Church has been preaching the teachings of St. Peter
while using name of Christ. Days are changing from all sides and now
time has come for the Church to come to terms with the enlightened
intellectuals. The number of such people is increasing over the
period. The type of control Church had on masses is no more
experienced. People have other option due to wide spread use of You
Tube and Face book and other internet sites where they go and learn
other ideologies and teachings of those ideologies. Church has to
accept if it is indulging in wrong ideologies by its officers. Let us
here, we see what some intellectuals want to say about Jesus who is
the center of the subject.
There
is dialogue on the subject if Jesus is a god or incarnation of God or
he is just another prophet or just a saint? In this post, I want to
show how other sites project Jesus by their differentiated
viewpoints. The greatness of Jesus is in his personality but we
actually do not know how he actually looked, then how to accept this
claim? Nobody ever attempted to draw his picture as at that time
these things were not in vogue. Therefore, what we have today is just
some imaginary concept about how exactly he looked at all. Then, why
people of Jerusalem were captivated by him? In those days, there was
no so-called qualification to show one's credentials. Today, we see
qualifications of person to accept his or her and then we bother to
listen or read to him or her. What was capturing people around him?
One surmise suggests that it was his capacity to perform miracles!
Miracles keep attracting people even in these days of scientific
revolution. So that possibility is one that we can accept for his
popularity.
However,
when we study what he was telling people it seems that the capacity
to perform miracles was not the only thing that attracted people
around him. His teachings were radically opposite what Jew priests
were imposing upon Jews of then days. Therefore, we may say people
were attracted to this unusual approach of Jesus, that he was
actually challenging the authority of those powerful priests from the
synagogues. In those days, there was no Church since it was invented
by later period professional priest such as Peter who had even never
seen Jesus!
Jesus did not know
how to write, read and so what we have today is the writings of only
one disciple St. Mathews. Mathews was a tax collector, he has
provided all the teachings of Jesus that is considered as most
authentic and today we work mostly on that material.
