Jesusanity ~ “The kingdom of God is at hand”
Jesusanity ~ the living religion of Jesus as revealed in "The Book of Jesus"
God is your Father, and my gospel, is nothing more nor less than the believing recognition of the truth that you are his sons. And I am here among you in the flesh to make clear both of these ideas.
RUIDOSO, NM, USA, August 14, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The time is ripe to witness the figurative resurrection of the human Jesus from his burial tomb amidst the theological traditions and the religious dogmas of twenty centuries. Jesus of Nazareth must not be longer sacrificed to even the splendid concept of the glorified Christ. His religion, Jesusanity, now comes forth!— Jesus while on Earth
The New Social Network www.jesusanity.com premiers August 21, the actual birth date of Jesus in 7 B.C.
For centuries, the Christian church has labored under great embarrassment because it dared to lay claim to those mysterious powers and privileges of the kingdom, powers and privileges which can be exercised and experienced only between Jesus and his spiritual believer brothers. And thus it becomes apparent that membership in the church does not necessarily mean fellowship in the kingdom; one is spiritual, the other mainly social. In contrast, Jesusanity, the true church — the Jesus brotherhood — is invisible, spiritual, and is characterized by unity, not necessarily by uniformity. Uniformity is the earmark of the physical world of mechanistic nature. Spiritual unity is the fruit of faith union with the living Jesus.
The kingdom of Jesus’ teaching, the spiritual ideal of individual righteousness and the concept of man’s divine fellowship with God, became gradually submerged into the mystic conception of the person of Jesus as the Redeemer-Creator and spiritual head of a socialized religious community. In this way a formal and institutional church became the substitute for the individually spirit-led brotherhood of the kingdom and a historical religion displaced that teaching in which Jesus had blended man’s highest moral ideas and spiritual ideals with man’s most sublime hope for the future — eternal life.
The visible church should refuse no longer to handicap the progress of the invisible and spiritual brotherhood of the kingdom of God. And this brotherhood is destined to become a living organism in contrast to an institutionalized social organization. It may well utilize such social organizations, but it must not be supplanted by them. The church, as a social outgrowth of the kingdom, would have been wholly natural and even desirable. The evil of the church was not its existence, but rather that it almost completely supplanted the Jesus concept of the kingdom. The 'institutionalized' church became a virtual substitute for the kingdom of heaven which Jesus had proclaimed; Jesusanity ~ the living religion of the Universe.
But doubt not, this same kingdom of heaven which the Master taught exists within the heart of the believer, will yet be proclaimed to this Christian church, even as to all other religions, races, and nations on earth — even to every individual. It is just because the gospel of Jesus was so many-sided that within a few centuries students of the records of his teachings became divided up into so many cults and sects. This pitiful subdivision of Christian believers results from failure to discern in the Master’s manifold teachings the divine oneness of his matchless life. But now the true believers in Jesus will not be thus spiritually divided in their attitude before unbelievers. Always we may have diversity of intellectual comprehension and interpretation, even varying degrees of socialization, but lack of spiritual brotherhood is both inexcusable and reprehensible.
Mistake not! there is in the teachings of Jesus an eternal nature which will not permit them forever to remain unfruitful in the hearts of thinking men. The kingdom as Jesus conceived it has to a large extent failed on earth; for the time being, an outward church has taken its place; but you should comprehend that this church is only the larval stage of the thwarted spiritual kingdom, which will carry it through this material age and over into a more spiritual dispensation where the Master’s teachings may enjoy a fuller opportunity for development.
"Thus has the so-called Christian church been the cocoon in which the kingdom of Jesus’ concept has slumbered. The kingdom of the divine brotherhood is still alive and is now certainly coming forth from this long submergence, just as surely as the butterfly eventually emerges as the beautiful unfolding of its less attractive creature of metamorphic development." From the "Book of Jesus" the actual life and teachings of Jesus on earth as recorded by invisible assistants who accompanied Him.
"God is your Father, and my gospel, is nothing more nor less than the believing recognition of the truth that you are his sons and daughters. And I am here among you in the flesh to make clear both of these ideas." said Jesus on earth. Jesusanity, His living religion, is now upon the world.
