I am not a Christian. But living the way Jesus was portrayed in gospels, at least how I understand it, is great way to simulate. Jesus was socialist in the sense that "we are all one family because we all come from the same source, so we have to look after each other like we would look after ourselves". It is a very "namaste" philosophy. He was also in the camp of what is in USA considered "Republican", in sense that we are all responsible for our life. He was also a big opponent of the corrupt state, not in actively promoting revolution "out there" but by "living the revolution within". He was a revolutionar as example. If Jesus was a real person and not the mode of being, I think that he was one brave, honest and compassionate being. The kind of being that we need more in today's world. I believe that Jesus, if he appeared today, would be locked up in a mental institution, killed or imprisoned. Too much heretical thinking that is contrary to both state and institutionalised religion...
...and here is the reason why I think
@Gnostic Bishop is pissed. Jesus said "not to cast a stone if one is not without similar errors", and "to look into your vision/mode of being before you start judging others". But still he was furious in front of the temple and wasn't in line with any institution, be it secular or religious. What GB is trying to say, at least how I read it, is that Jesus would be the first person to stand in opposition to the todays institutionalised religion. I can't see how a person that was described as Jesus was could be part of any institutionalised religion. Because that means looking away from atrocities committed by parts of those communities. I believe that he would condemn todays Christian churches and would certainly not involve himself in it. In a Gospel of Thomas it is written:"Jesus said: 'Split wood, I am there. Lift up a rock, you will find me there.' ". It is a gospel that was destroyed by those that were compiling Bible, but it resurfaced in Nag Hammadi. So Jesus is in many places clearly stating that "He" is everywhere and everything, and that kingdom of God is within and without already, if we just have the vision or proper "eyes to see" (video, vidja, true veda that comes from clear vision).
To finish - what GB is pointing at is that Jesus wouldn't be a Christian today. He would be against religion professed in his name. He would be a heretic and a troublemaker and certainly not a member of any Church that is dominant in todays world.
@Gnostic Bishop sorry if I misrepresented your view, but I extrapolated from that few posts I have read that you wrote.
