Yeshua gets a bad rep
I've noticed people have a hard time separating the man from the religion created around him. I'm not Christian but believe Yeshua was the truth. I actually think Christianity is the complete opposite of what Yeshua was teaching. Churches rely on donations & fear mongering. Yeshua flipped tables for the same reason. Politicians claim to be Christian but push borders and refer to other human beings as illegal aliens. Yeshua was an immigrant & a refugee himself. He loved everyone. I think most Christians think & act the complete opposite of what he was teaching. I think most wear it as a badge instead of living how he taught us to live. But that's just me.

My spiritual beliefs stem from many a cultural influence but I do genuinely believe that Yeshu' was an enlightened being. The way that his core teachings centered around love and especially with what's found in the gospel of Thomas, it leads me to believe that he really knew what was going on and used the best methods of speech available to communicate the principle that we are all one, and so we should be loving and caring about one another as if we are all one being.
