Default What Did Jesus Really Teach?
You'll get alot of different answers from different people because the issue of what Jesus really taught is confusing. Some say he preached about love and forgiveness, sin and redemption and about justice for the poor and such things as that.

But when one reads the scriptures, they show us that main body of Jesus' message was The End of the World. Jesus taught that the End was coming and coming in the lifetime of his generation. And well Jesus was wrong as you can guess and I believe that all the other things Jesus preached were a product of his belief that the End was soon.

So can ya'll tell me what do you think he taught people and why he taught it.

Well, for starters nice to see so many people on here with interesting topics.

May I ask, how did you arrive at the beliefs you currently hold about God and the supernatural?

I don't think that Jesus' teaching was all that apocalyptic in nature.
It could, if we're looking superficially, be interpreted to be so.

I accept the Gospel of Thomas as fairly authentic, so I can tell you to look at verse fifty-one for proof of my hypothesis.

But this would hinge upon your acceptance of this writing, see?

He taught us that an immortal zombie-god will sometimes let himself be temporarily killed in order to save his creations from his arbitrary rules.

Only late in his ministry did he teach that I Must Die For The Sins of The People thing. And it seems he only meant the Jewish people and that he thought that it would institute the End of the World

What's the first thing Jesus says in the earliest gospel source - the Gospel of Mark?

He taught people to use common sense and the the scriptures are symbolic. People still insist on taking him literally even though he always spoke symbolically or in parables. He taught common sense cause people needed it.

He says so in the Bible - something about his audience not tasting death until the End comes and the High Priest being alive when the Son of Man arrives in power
