Jesus 4.0

They have used him.
They still do.
The CDU carries his initial in their name.
The AfD defends Christian civilization.
Putin prays for war.
Trump — holy warrior...

Jesus ate with strangers.
He healed them.
He said: I was a stranger and you took me in.
He said: a rich man cannot pass through the eye of a needle.

Keep the name.
Discard the man.
This is no longer filtering.

This is betrayal!

Poor Jesus 2.0

Jesus was unambiguous:
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
The Church became fabulously wealthy.

Mary does not speak.
Magdalene was recast as a prostitute.
Without textual evidence.
Women were silenced.

Every filtering was a self-serving interpretation, a mutilation.

Cui bono?

Poor Jesus.

Jesus wrote nothing.

Everything we have is filtered through others:
Paul, perhaps the founder of Christianity, who never met him,
Evangelists who wrote decades later,
Churches, who interpreted,
Cult leaders...

The filter never serves the filtered.
