Russel Brand is a Christian now

I came to understand that Jesus didn't teach a pure form of spirituality or non-duality. He just introduced a spiritual distribution of Judaism. Jesus may have had his own secret teachings that he taught to a couple of his students but what he taught mostly was religion.

Someone said here that Jesus was a troll, I got those vibes too from him. Why on earth, would you tell people you are the son of God? can't you see where this is going? Maybe he deserved to be crucified at the end.

Jesus replied, "Friend, do what you came for." [4] Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.

51
With that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

52
"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

53
Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

54
But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"

 

The whole idea of Christianity is that Jesus was obedient to the will of God, paid the debt by obeying God's will. He didn't disobey, like Adam supposedly did.

Bullshit and Messiah complex.

How do you become a religious figure without having a Messiah complex? You cannot.

Anyway dont focus on just the one sentence. Maybe it is just poetry. The idea is that he was supposed to die on the cross. Imagine the world today if it didn't happen? Would we be on this path after 2000 years? Would it be the year 2024? Bro. Christ is fundamental

Why would you envy the Messiah. "Messiah complex".. Its probably not fun to be the Saviour, dude. It's probably not fun to die on the cross. He probably didnt feel amazing about dying, dude. And you talking down on the sacrifice... Come on. "Maybe he deserved it" dude no he didn't deserve it, but it was the sacrificial arrangement. It wasn't justified, but thats what he came on Earth to do.

Orthodox Christianity is probably the most purest form of Christianity.

Christianity is still crude in many of its forms. Although, there are saints from within the tradition that are very gifted and can offer deep insights into the nature of Love, God and death.

The most complete and mature Religion is Hinduism, as it is a Religion of religions, an amalgamation of many different ways to the divine (sampradayas) that continue to live through the transmission of the lamp by unbroken lineages called guru parampara. Hinduism also provides a great ecosystem for the flourishing of consciousness skyscrapers, as its long history proves. This I believe is the reason why it has been kept alive, as it allows for great conscious being to come to fruition and spread higher wisdom with a tested methodology by that sampradaya for the individual Awakening. In this way one can choose the path/sampradaya that most suits oneself and it all gets under the overarching umbrella of Hinduism.

But in the end it's all human garbage.

It is so

From above.

First human spirituality, then transhuman Spirituality. Depends where one finds itself.

I have linked from timestamp 9:46, where he talks about the Orthodox church. You might find similarities with Nonduality, sounds a lot like Neti-neti / not this not this / self inquiry. Sounds a lot like truth, and not just trying to manipulate people into joining their religion out of fear of punishment or promise of rewards. It seems very honest. 

When people deny Christianity altogether, they might be throwing out the baby with the bathwater. The bathwater being the egoically corrupted interpretations of Christianity, and the baby being the true Christianity.

It is not about envying or anything. It is about the role he played. He seriously thought he was a prophet from God as all religious figures did. They did well but It is still false and it is still self-deception.

I, for example, have a savior complex and I believe I would serve humanity immensely in my lifetime. Is it true? who knows. I might get run by a bus tomorrow.

Maybe there are things we don't understand. How about we be humble and not assume we know, when this thing has been going for 2000 years. You can have opinions but don't force it. How do you know its self deception, were you Jesus?

My supposed understanding of reality conflicts with it.

I appreciate Jesus, not for his teachings but for the state  I imagine he was in while experiencing life.

You don't know what his values are. He could care about truth but just be self-deceived.

Whatever his values are I wish him the best of luck.  Hopeful he found his own path and stays there.

😂I have this too. Not sure it's a complex but it's the highest purpose I can find for living, so...

Show me one Christian who isn't a buffoon.

Number of Christian saints were pretty good, it's hard to call them fools
