Why Jesus?

I enjoy researching people’s lives and anyone who comes up as very interesting usually receives my understanding attention. In my generation (as well as the past century), it has come to my awareness that there were many meaningful people. People who provided a historical service for most of their lives, people who may have had an extraordinary gift or purpose that they have shared unselfishly with millions, people who have sacrificed themselves for the greater good while leaving an indelible impression upon humankind. Now, before anyone goes harrying me for examples, let us focus for the moment on the man called Jesus.

We hardly know anything about his early life from the scriptures, with only an emphasis on the last three years of his life which led to his ministry and death. We cannot even verify the truth of those moments but are forced to take it on faith that these proceedings occurred. Events that seemed impressive during Jesus’ time look as primitive as the video game PONG compared to the miracles that maturity and technology can perform today (Jesus walking on water has nothing on Pacifc Princess Cruise ships. Jesus feeding the multitudes with fish, well Starkiss now provides individual servings that can feed millions and everyone can take it home in their very own tin can.) So my question is, why are there so many religions in worship and awe to this man? Where is the Church of Disorderly Nuttiness, where we can worship Jerry Lewis? What about the Church of the Cool (where anyone can go to exonerate and interpret the musical compositions of Miles Davis)? Why aren’t there more teaching facilities for the Edgar Cayce Foundation (who seems to have devoted more of his life and had more documented successes in healing than Jesus)? Why not Martin Luther King, Larry Flint, Carl Sagan, Superman? Why Jesus?

Hello, How are you? This is a very good question and one which deserves an answere. WE have people who have invented many different things which enhances life in a variety of ways. But how many people have you heard that claimed to BE TRUTH (John 14:6). I know of no one who has made such a claim, other than Jesus.

in love Baerly

The concept that Jesus was a separate entity from ME is a TRUTH because Jesus chose to come down to Earth. No one forced his hand.

HELLO IT’S ME: An Interview With GOD
Chapter: Jesus The Christ

Pg: 111

There is also a passage that GOD makes about other entities being “children” but clearly does not claim a relationship of fatherhood.
Super Universe writes: Christ was created from God as an already mature being with the specific purpose of representing God's will for this part of the universe.
I do not doubt that Jesus may have been with GOD before the creation of the earth but I would be skeptical that GOD required this entity to fulfill a will of His or to be a human representive. I could also encourage the possibility that Jesus enjoyed sharing his relationship with GOD with others but had a specific purposes or desires of his own to fulfill on earth.

Super Universe writes: The children of God are created from God very raw and without any maturity and with no specific purpose.
I believe that when we were created in the spiritual realm and that we were as underdeveloped as GOD was when he started out. I believe we repeat this under-development when we choose to incarnate in a physical existence with the responsibility to remember what we are supposed to do.


Super Universe writes: What really worries me Cardero is this being that you are channeling who claims to be God. Higher dimensional beings know how easily humans will believe that a voice inside their head is God.
It is not really a voice-in-the-head kind of experience but you are correct, humans do believe easily and GOD realizes that I am an avid hobbyist in believing.

Super Universe writes: I would say that you are simply conversing with your guardian angel but they would never claim to be God.
I haven’t ruled out this possibility either with the exception that I have often interviewed these “angels” as well and we can both discern and satisfactorily appreciate the difference.

Super Universe writes: God does not interfere with us because it would violate His law of free will.
This is true and this entity that I have been conversing with has never asked of me to do something I did not want to do or believe in something that I was not ready to believe in (which I find… refreshing).

Super Universe writes: It's against the whole purpose of the earth. We come here to experience separation from God, to be on our own. God does not need to impress humans or prove His existence and there are many beings in the universe, both good and selfish, that are able to telepathically connect with us.
I agree which is why (with anyone I encounter) it is important for me to examine intentions.

Super Universe writes: Do you always begin your sessions by stating that you wish to only talk with a being who is willing to follow what's in your best interests?
I consider the importance of speaking directly with the qualifying entity who can address the situation best. In the case of GOD I would just refer to "the first entity”.
Super Universe writes: I would warn you to question everything this being says and always maintain a sense of control.
Always I will.


Super Universe writes: Perhaps you could ask it a few questions, I would be quite interested in the answers.
It has been a long time since I answered personal question for others but I will consider them and if I receive any understandings I will gladly PM them to you.

Hi Baerly, I’m fine.

The only concern that I have is that I’ve only heard of Jesus claiming to be the Truth from people who have never met Jesus or have only read it from someone who heard someone mention that Jesus claimed to be Truth.
