Who was (is) Jesus ? A real person ? A prophet or wise man? A Spiritual being ? Was he a son of God ? Or the one and only Son of God ? Is He God (the trinity) ? Was He flesh and Blood like the rest of us ?

None of those things are of any value. People will argue about irrelevancies until the cows come home. What is of value is if we follow His commandments. Nothing else matters.

Do you think it is important what Jesus believed about Himself ?

It would matter if he was just a carpenter from Nazareth.

Not to anyone. It would just mean that he was not the Messiah. Someone else would have been it.

it would be important to know if he was suffering from a mental illness or not.

I agree that it matters if He was not Who He said and believed Himself to be, of course.

But then people wouldn't be following 'his' commands, which is what your post was about.

i would recommend anybody interested in this thread to read 'behold the man' a sci-fi/fantasy novel by michael moorcock about a time traveler who decides to become the biblical christ when he sees that the real christ is an idiot.

People have been following the commandments of Christ even before He arrived. and even without knowing who He is. It does not matter whether the Messiah was Jesus of Nazareth or some other character.

How did they do that? You're not making much sense.

Maybe the OSAS doctrine has dulled your understanding of Christ and his teachings.

Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
(Matthew 22:36-40 KJV)


The long version is Matthew Chapters 5, 6 and 7 - The Beatitudes. Its all about love, charity and good works
