Great positive messiahs
|
|
| In history, the most famous Messiah without question is Jesus "the Christ". | ||
| While cultures around the world have recorded their own Messiahs, no other historical figure has evoked more history, more controversy and more impact that Jesus Christ. | ||
| 12.13.1 | The message before the history | |
| So obsessed were early christians in seeking to legitimize every possible sign and proof of Jesus being the true Messiah that the sad legacy of christianity for most of its history has been that the message ("what Jesus said") has always been far less important than "who Jesus was". | ||
| Even today, there are countless fundamental christian preachers who have little or no understanding of the physical words Jesus is supposed to have spoken, but are fanatical about proclaiming all the signs of his divinity as a legitimate messenger. | ||
| That being said, the message of Jesus has got through and as a result he is acclaimed as one of the great positive messiahs of human history. | ||
