Satya Sai Baba or Baba of Shridi?
I am NOT a follower of either
(in fact, Satya Sai Baba's HAIR frightens me a little

There's no need for interpretation. That's what the text, itself, says. That's the "main message" that we are told Jesus went about preaching.
"we are told"
WHO told you This?

Sorry, some communication cable noises here....
As far as I know, 'core'...denotes the 'center' of something...

There is much truth in what you say
But
your statement
Part of the appeal of religion comes from the static nature of their beliefs which give people a degree security in their understanding of the world.
Contradicts what Buddha said on...
Hats OFF to Bahaullah on His Expression!
Has it got anything to do with the 'Bahai' Religion?....
..as I read in some posts here that the current thrust is on monuments and not on universal 'charities'...

"turn your lives around"
That is something you and I agree with COMPLETELY
"God's kingdom has come near"
is subject to interpretation as per insight.
What gives you the RIGHT to INTERPRET WHAT JESUS Meant?
(when even Peter, who lived by him 24/7 had trouble understanding what he meant)...
I agree that a Balanced View is practical
even Buddha advocated the Middle Path

Reading Jesus and your post,
Gandhi developed a new methodology called Active passive resistance
which won the freedom of a billion people from the biggest army in the world
&
which liberated the blacks in the U.S (Martin Luther King).
What would be your comment on that?

Can the inner core of All Religions and the Insights of Ultra Modern Science Meet?
After all there is ONLY ONE IS.
This IS
Everyday Practical World & the Starry Sky you gaze at (sometimes!)
This Universe + other Parallel Universes as hypothesized by ultra modern science...
I believe Jesus' primary message was 'non-violence' as opposed to what may have come to be interpreted since his time. If the principle of non-violence is followed, you get 2 mangoes with 1 stone: This World becomes a better place and you score good points if there is a Next World.
