THE CONFUSION BETWEEN CHRIST AND JESUS

 

What is the Christ?  When Jesus asked this question to the chiefs of the synagogue, they said that Christ was the son of David, i.e., a descendant of the king of Israel, Solomon's father.

 

Jesus does not accept the answer because in fact, the Christ is not the son of David.

 

This confusion between Christ and Jesus is very old and continues until today.

 

What is the Christ, the Anointed, who the ancient Hebrews called Messiah, the Sent?

 

The fourth Gospel designates Christ with the word Logos, beginning the text with these words: "In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God".

 

The Greek word Logos is prior to the Christian era.  For some of the ancient philosophers, Logos is designated as the spirit of God manifested in the Universe.  Logos would be, therefore, the immanent God opposed to the transcendent Deity, which is not the object of our knowledge.

 

The Latin Vulgate translates Logos by Word:  "In the beginning was the Word..."

 

Logos, Word, Christ are identical and designates the role of the Divine Creator, as the individual manifestation of the Universal Divinity.

 

In this sense, the Christ is God, but it is not the Divinity.  Sacred books says that Christ is the most ancient cosmic creature, incarnated in the human person of Jesus.  And in this sense he says to men:  "Ye are Gods"; which means that men are individual manifestations of the Universal Divinity.  The first and the most perfect manifestation of the Universal Divinity in the Universe, is the Christ, the Word, the Logos, what Paul of Tarsus aptly called "the firstborn of all creatures" of the Universe.

 

The Christ is previous to the creation of the material world.  He is, "the firstborn of all creatures".  The Christ is not human creature, but the oldest cosmic individuality, whom before the beginning of the world, emanated from the Universal Divinity and eventually can become materialized, as in the case of Jesus.

 

The Christ is God, but it is not the Divinity, that Jesus refers as Father: "I and the Father are one, but the Father is above me".

 

God, in the language of Jesus means an individual emanation of the Universal Divinity.

 

The traditional confusion between God and Divinity has given rise to endless disputes among theologians.  But the text of the Gospel is clear:  the Christ Jesus claimed to be God, but he never claimed Divinity himself.

 

The Genesis of Moses begins with the words:  "In the beginning the Elohim created heaven and earth".

 

The Fourth Gospel of John opens with words like:  "In the beginning was the Logos... by it all things were made".

 

Therefore seems that the Creator Powers (Hebrew Elohim) are identical to the Logos, through which all things were created.

 

Elohim, Logos, Word, Christ - are names designating the various cosmic creatures that before the material world, emanated from the transcendental Divinity.

 

Eastern philosophy calls the Universal Divinity, Brahman, and gives the name of Brahma as the oldest individuality of the Divinity.

 

Brahma would be equal to God, Christ, Logos, Word.

 

Does not exist throughout the Universe a single realized creature incapable to become realized subsequently. Any creature, even Brahma, or Christ, are ​​highly realized creatures, but always in constant evolution; they are, so to speak, unfinished symphonies. Any creature, even the most perfect cosmic creature, is basically able to evolve or realize. Eternal life is not an arrival, a final stop, a final goal – is a ceaseless journey or evolution towards the Infinite, but never to coincide with the Infinite. All finite, mathematics says, is in demand to the Infinite, which is always in an infinite distance.

 

Pantha rhei, everything flows, said the ancient philosophers; everything is relative, Einstein wrote last century.

 

The Divinity, the Infinite, the Absolute, is not the object of our knowledge. All we know refers to the Relative, to the Fluidic, to the in Evolution, which is in continual evolution.

 

Sacred books refer to Christ as the oldest cosmic creature incarnated in the human person of Jesus.

 

Since the descending of the cosmic Christ to planet Earth is an incomprehensible phenomenon, men have made ​​numerous assumptions about why this incarnation of Christ. And he himself, in the person of Jesus, never clearly said the purpose of his humanization.
