I cannot understand that this devalues Jesus, God or > Christianity. I, too, believe Jesus was a reformer. I don't believe it was Jesus' intent to initiate a brand new faith, a religion separate from Judaism. But there seems to be a trend. George Fox never wanted to initiate Quakerism. John Wesley never wanted to initiate Methodism. It happens. Shalom, Richard

I know that most Jews would disagree with me but I do not believe that
Jesus did initiate a brand new faith seperate from Judaism. I also
don't see Methodism as a different faith then most other Christian
denominations. Rather I see differences of style and over minor points.
Not enough for me at least to classify these as different religions.

In Jesus' eyes, he didn't initiate a new faith. However, he loosed so many of the bonds of the old faith (as well as correcting many misconceptions/teachings) that it sure was different than what many called Judiasm. Collis | |||||
