A deeper reflection on Jesus

Light on a difficult matter

I wrote the document Is it possible to know who Jesus really was? And my answer there was: "Probably no." I tried to be objective in that document, presenting both sides of Jesus' being: either as a divine person or just as a human being. I feel that we probably won't be able to know who Jesus really was, and I am still waiting for an answer.

My will would be to exalt and praise Jesus, and to believe that he was a divine person; but I do not see that clearly, yet. I think that there are compelling evidence and reasonable arguments to think that he was just a human being, like a prophet sent by God. Please note that I am not talking here about the glorified Jesus after his resurrection; this would be another topic.

Believe the churches

I can hear the voices of people telling me: Believe the teachings of the churches. I can't. Many teachings of the churches are based on myths, which in their turn are also based on other myths, not on the truth. I know why I am saying this, and this is for me a fact, not a guess. (I might write a document on this subject later. I did it! You may see it, here.) And besides this, the definitions from the Nicene (325) and Chalcedony (451) Councils in particular are inadequate, obsolete and meaningless today.
