The Teachings Of Jesus Christ.

[Theland]

Could you possibly imagine any teaching that would surpass the teachings of Jesus Christ?

[Canary42]

Yes. Hogwarts.

Theland - "Could you possibly imagine any teaching that would surpass the teachings of Jesus Christ?"

If I were the son of god, I think I would denounced slavery. Slavery's quite a big no-no today and yet:

"All slaves should show full respect for their masters so they will not bring shame on the name of God and his teaching. If the masters are believers, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. Those slaves should work all the harder because their efforts are helping other believers who are well loved." [said by Jesus himself in '1 Timothy 6:1-2'].

Oops. Perhaps Jesus didn't get the memo about slavery. Hey-ho. We all make mistakes don't we? Of course, Jesus could have redeemed himself by denouncing rape and paedophilia. But he obviously had more pressing matters on his divine mind, since neither of these issues are even hinted at (let alone addressed) in the bible.

So, the question being, "Could I possibly imagine any teaching that would surpass the teachings of Jesus Christ", my answer would be, "Yes". And I hope that you could too.

[Marshwarble]

Paedophilia, cruelty, there are hundreds of things he could have denounced.

He told stories, came up with aphorisms like "Blessed as the meek" but was a teacher? If he was the Church should be worried. A teacher needs to treat people like idiots, to talk down, to infantacise.

[wildwood]

Oh yes, many. Even basic school science is based on proven facts that collate with undeniable physics.

The teachings of jesus christ is so absurd that it is hard to believe that so many people follow it, when convenient.

Is it not true that any faithful follower of religion is a sinner when that person does not live by the teachings? In this case even the pope is a sinner.

As taught now, itss rules for life present a reasonable moral baseline. Few things are not open to improvement though and I'm sure you'll get a fair few suggestions offered here.

[Old_Geezer]

I have no idea why the tech 'thinks' deleting an apostrophe is an excuse to add an extra 's' immediately the 'submit ' button is pressed. Must be God's will.

[naomi24]

Mmm ..... he wasn't very nice to his mum, you know.

[Zacs-Master]

Mr Taylor at Birkenshaw Middle School was quite good.

[mikey4444]

My science teacher, back in the 1960's, talked a lot of good sense.

[Zacs-Master]

Mr Taylor was a science teacher. And a music teacher. Clever man. He had a Van der Graaf generator too. Pretty sure Jesus didn't have one. Nor does,the bible mention his piano playing skills. No contest really.

[agchristie]

I was grateful to learn about Genesis a long time ago. Phil Collins became very successful of course...

[jomifl]

Oh it's Sunday ....the crypt doors have been left open ...again.

[Mosaic]

I think my old geography teacher at the grammar school gave some life-saving advice, namely: you're always more tired than you think.
He was speaking specifically about hill-walking but it is jolly good solid advice to base your life on.

[jomifl]

The instructions for a samsung S6 possibly.... certainly more relevent to the young people of today.

[Jackdaw33]

Jesus is often misquoted in the Bible. When he said, "Blessed are the peacemakers", he actually said, "blessed are the cheesemakers". It was a promo for the Cheese Marketing Board. (with acknowledgements to Monty Python)

[jomifl]

I think the Buddha did a better job.

[Theland]

Jesus did say we who follow Him would be mocked.
He was right.

[cupid04]

Hold on tight to what you believe in Theland. God bless.

[Theland]

There is a Living proof that Christ is real, but hidden from those whom God has hardened their hearts.
God is not a lab rat to be casually examined and dissected.
He reveals Himself to those who earnestly seek Him.
