not christian, but I figure jesus taught some truth, same teaching as alot of others from diferent time periods and nations. All the same truth, just different people sayin the same thing. If people actually listened and applied it we would have peace etc. Not a chance tho, kinda like the federal reserve being dismantled, no matter who warns about them. "same teaching as alot of others from diferent time periods and nations." I would revisit the acquired knowledge you possess about Jesus. The claims He made about himself just lead one to conclude he was either a very believable nut job, or what He claimed to be, the son of God sent to redeem human kind under which all authority would be placed, amongst other things. A good and wise teacher? Not if all his claims were the fruit of grand dillusions. Benb, as evidence imagine answering a question with a question is the way to get one to agree with you(for me). What if, what if, or suppose can do in a pinch with all contrary views with regard to truth, as witnessed by Jesus the Christ in the Gospel`s. Though other`s taught nice things too, but Jesus had miracles of healings, signs and wonders abounding throughout his ministry, and beyond his followers too, all the while using the name of Jesus(Mark 16:17-20). Philosophy is nice but has no substance(Hebrews 11:1). The Word of God is spiritually discerned[you must be born-again(John 3:2-21)]. It's okay to vote Romney in
