Re: God?
I tell you that Jesus word was true to the people for he was very wise and his word remains so today.
He has guided those that believe in him but jealousy from religious factions killed him but his truth never ended.
The Sadducees, Pharisees, Essenes and the Zealots ended the life of Jesus through populism, to regain the will of the people.
Today Christians cherish the word of Jesus the wisest.
Jesus the (king) was used by his enemies at his trial and the people agreed to save their own lives, but those that claimed Jesus was king to kill him is seen since as their truth and nobody has defied it.
This explains a lot about how they were frequently confrontational with Christ and his disciples then ultimately sought to bear false witness in framing him and have him put to death. After the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD Pharisaic beliefs became the basis for Rabbinic Judaism, which ultimately produced the basis for all contemporary forms of Judaism with what is known today as modern Hasidic Judaism being the oldest core foundational belief.
“I am the Light of the world” (John 8:12) is the second of seven “I AM” declarations of Jesus, recorded only in John’s gospel, that point to His unique divine identity and purpose. In declaring Himself to be the Light of the world, Jesus was claiming that He is the exclusive source of spiritual light. No other source of spiritual truth is available to mankind.
