The glorified Jesus - 3. A conflict with God?

A religion without Jesus

Christianity is a very complex religion; its creed, its dogmas, its rituals are very complicated. Perhaps it is the most complicated religion on earth. Nothing is simple; each one of these areas needs an expert to understand it and to explain. That is why to be a theologian is a profession, because you need professionals for interpreting Christianity, as it is today; not as God, and Jesus wanted it. We have made of Christianity a real labyrinth of dogmas and morals. What a pity!

One needs years and years in a seminary or school just to learn how to be a Christian and how to interpret Christian doctrine. Those who do not have this "privilege," take the risk of believing and practicing their own interpretation of Christianity; and that interpretation might not be a true Christianity. I am afraid most Christians are in this category.

What makes Christianity so complicated?

The problem arises mainly from different interpretations of the Bible, which created different creeds, definitions and statements of faith. We can not deal here with all these differences, but we are going to question one thing, whether the adding of Jesus to the picture of the Old Testament created a problem for the old religion of Moses and the prophets.

We, Christians, also worship Yahweh, the true God, as Jewish people do; but we Christians have also Jesus, (not to mention here the Holy Spirit). Is this a problem for the practice of religion?
