I would not have asked this question if that was not my own understanding of the relationship between the original teachings of Yeshua and the complex syncretic amalgam of texts that grew around His teachings leading into the Christian Church (and other movements that were eventually surpressed or that just petered out).
There are people on this forum such as Buddhists and perhaps Hindus who follow a more tantric or mystic path like Yeshua did and there is perhaps a larger group that follows a more religious or extrovertial path more in line with Christianity or Islam (not sure about the position of Bahai).
So does the first group on the forum view Christianity as a step down from the teachings of Yeshua/Jesus or just as a neutral extension of the original Yeshua or otherwise? Please share your thoughts whatever you think about this idea.
