Jesus Was NOT a Great Prophet


The claims Jesus made were extremely brash; they were quite unloving; and they were very egotistical... unless (UNLESS) they are the whole truth (which He blatantly claimed they are).

Jesus had a very narrow view of who He is and what His mission is.

There are two ways to view Jesus. We either see Him in the same way He classifies Himself, as Lord and only way we have to God's truths and to His eternal kingdom. Or... we see Him as an egotistical lunatic!

But most people don't believe this!!!
The majority of people have a third view of Jesus. Even YOU might be one of these people. Do you hold the view that Jesus was a great teacher who taught and did good things and wants everybody to love one another? Do you believe He was one of several great spiritual teachers, the equal of (on par with) other great spiritual leaders who have told us about God? (Note: Jesus did NOT believe this about Himself.) He saw Himself so far above other spiritual leaders that He took it upon Himself to correct their teachings. Sometimes He even nullified their teachings. He even added to their teachings if they didn't go far enough. He considered His teachings to be far above their teachings. And, if their teachings were in conflict with His own, He considered theirs to be from the devil and not of any worth!

Wow! If you hold this odd but very popular 'third view' don't you think it's time you changed your view of Jesus since He's not who you thought He was? Isn't it about time you either think of Him as a harmful, raving lunatic? Or... think of Him as who He proclaimed to be, as the one and only Son of God; Messiah; and our only source of eternal truth who alone provides the way for us to be miraculously grafted into God's eternal kingdom, both on earth and in the heavenly realm? This is exactly who Jesus thinks He is! Jesus never left room for any other view.
