>No greater threat to Christ than "the Church"

 

CORRECTION: There is no greater threat to the "the Church" than Christ

 

This is why the Church doesn't want Christ to be remembered for what he truly was - an out spoken human critic of the "authorities":

 

1) those who controlled the temple (Pharisees),

2) those who wrote and interpreted the law (scribes), and

3) those who robbed (money changers) and oppressed the people economically.

 

Christ was born an outlaw, spoke Truth to power, and was sentenced to death for insurrection. His teachings emphasized kindness, good works, voluntary association, seeking the Truth, and the use of one's own free will to reject not only sinful temptations, but also conscription by the "authorities" to harm others.

 

Most importantly Christ taught us that one need NOT “walk on water” to do what is right in this world.

 

The choice will always be yours ~Q

>Just to nitpick a little… The pharisees did not control the temple. That was the Saducees.

 

fair enough, but the point remains that he was an outspoken critic of authorities and hypocrites

 

>And why did you say Christ was born an outlaw. He was not.

 

Again, semantics. True, he had broken no laws, so how does "fugitive" sound?

 

fugitive (noun): a person who has escaped from a place or is in hiding, especially to avoid arrest or persecution.

 

The Escape to Egypt (Matthews 2:13-15)

 

13 When [the Magi] had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”

 

14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
