[QUOTE=100thmonkey;205665]Assuming Jesus even existed.
I think most likely his wisdom teaching was an amalgam of several teachers of the time, or that he's even an avatar for some group/sect, but I definitely agree with you on the message...
(Personally) I just feel it going against the grain to hear Jesus name put up all the time as if there's something worth salvaging from the bible that isn't already more crystal clear (untainted) in other places, ie. I don't really mind throwing Jesus out with the bible bathwater, because everything worth keeping in it was already said better beforehand (or even later).
Yet Jesus, or any other teacher/guru isn't necessary for people to come to the realisation of their own I AM, or all of our One-ness, eventually.
'Life' is our greatest teacher - that's the Creator's original 'Gospel', and it's freely avalable to all, by default.
Yes ...and of course there's also the other thing about the cruci-fiction being the
3 day death and resurrection of the sun at the winter solstice (today!) on the zodiacal cross...
...which also leads into a bit about the multiplying of loaves you mentioned. The story of the loaves and fishes is signifying the opposition of Virgo and Pisces.
Virgo with the wheat in her hand, for bread, opposite Pisces the two fishes.
Of course the earliest christian symbol was the fish, not the cross, as we entered the age of Pisces, and Jesus, the 'bread of life', was 'born of a virgin'.
Okay, I guess the 'bible' is interesting in that way...
