What Did Jesus Really Teach

Emerging Church, Richard Rohr

[@johndefulgentis1764]

I have been anti-religion since my high school days (catholic) and have been turned off by all the preachers , which seemed to be preoccupied with Homosexuality . I became an atheist last year , but this man (Richard Rohr) has put me back on the religious fence. His teachings are a breath of fresh air .

[@JNeil1975]

I experienced the same....and returned to Christ. He is for us too!

[@frederickeskridgeiv1246]

you dont need religion my friend you need Jesus. you need to Follow the teachings of Paul. as paul told us follow me as i follow Christ. Christ preached the kingdom but since he has gone on he has given us the Gospel of the grace of God. this man is off track.

[@P.H.888]

JESUS IS WONDERFUL 🕊♥️ HE IS OUR HIGH PRIEST ✝️ Because HE WAS WORTHY & WILLING TO BE OUR SACRIFICE ✝️ Every single person ‼️ will let you down ‼️ even yourself ‼️‼️ That’s why it’s took GOD to be incarnate 🙏🏻 HE ALONE IS GOOD ♥️ Personal relationship Not Religion.

[@steelmilkjug]

Anyone can read the Bible, hear Jesus' claims and teachings, read the testimony of his life, death, burial, resurrection, and giving the Holy Spirit, they can see their own sin, repent, believe Jesus, and be Born of God, without any other religious teachers, including Christian teachers. If I've learned anything from God, it's "Don't let any man affect what you believe about Me. Just believe my Son."

[@grahammurphy1178]

He's absolutely right. Christ taught 5 main commandments. Non violence in thought and actions. No adultery in thought and actions. No taking of oaths legal or otherwise. Loving all people foreign or otherwise equally. And don't be angry or disparage anyone. A wonderful book on this topic is Leo Tolstoys My religion and The Kingdom of God is within you.

[@pokey38]

This is not his opinions. He studied the bible and theology inside out and didn't buy into the watered down over the centuries bullshit we've been fed, and finally informing us of how it is. Thank God for this man I say. I've been searching for the truth for many years and my heart feels he's nearer to the truth. I don't intellectualise my decision to believe him, I just feel it, and I can't deny that.

[@MightyEagle12]

I attended a retreat lead by Fr. Rohr in The Bahamas many years ago and I find his very inspiring. This notion of inclusiveness seem to be a part of his DNA. Even though a catholic priest, he sees the value that other christian denominations bring to the Body of Christ. Notice in this piece how he credits the Amish and Quakers for retaining the virtue of peace. Jesus has a very simple message for the world - LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

Just like biblical and historical evidence proves that jesus and his apostles were vegatarians biblical and historical evidence also proves that the trinity, atonement, original sin and hell are very late misinterpretations and are not supported by the early creed hence its not a part of Christianity I pray that Allah swt revives Christianity both inside and out preserves and protects it and makes its massage be witnessed by all people but at the right moment, place and time The secred text of the Bible says ye shall know them by their fruits So too that I say to my christian brothers and sisters be fruitful and multiply Best regards from a Muslim ( line of ismail )

[@Remington.Michael]

My God, listen to you all! How can we bring positive transformative change to this world when we can't even get along with our own kind? We must put our zeal for love, compassion, and grace before our zeal for dogma and doctrine if we are to defeat the darknesses of this world and usher in the Kingdom of God; and it must start in our own hearts.

[@sngscratcher]

Yes, I concur. Clearly the problem is that many people - including the ones who argue under these spiritual-themed YT videos - haven't got the foggiest idea what it means to live a spiritual path. So rather than working to transform themselves into more loving beings (like Jesus and many others) - which can only happen within the depths of our being - they operate out of the "ego level" instead. And the ego is (obviously) greedy and self-centered, and so its singular goal is to prove to others that our views are the correct ones! And "it" will cause us to try to “prove” that our POV is the right one until our dying day, unless, of course, we decide to embark on a legitimate spiritual journey, where our singular goal now becomes one of transforming ourselves into a more loving being. All the best!

He's (Satan masked as Richard) is doing the EXACT thing here. He's telling you to 'die to self' and create a neutral moral fountain with no biases. He's striping the TRUTH OF GOD from people's consciousness. The danger is that he's setting you up to HATE. He speaks 'low level' mind to discredit the faithful children of God and portrait them as backward thinking racism, homophobic, etc. TRUE CHRISTIANS LOVE EVERYONE BUT STAND FOR THE TRUTH OF GOD....THE IS AS BAD AS IT GETS....THIS MAN WILL TURN PEOPLE AGAINST TRUE CHRISTIANS.....And people wonder how Christians could have been thrown to the Lions, this is how it happens....

He made a point of seeking me out, introducing himself and talking to me. Very wise and nice individual.

This is a fundamental commandment of our Messiah: Luke 14:33 "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 12:33-34 "[33] Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. [34] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matthew 6:19-21 "[19] Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: [20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: [21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matthew 6:24-34 "[24] No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. [25] Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? [26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? [27] Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? [28] And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: [29] And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [30] Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? [31] Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? [32] (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. [33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. [34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." John 6:27 "Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed." Matthew 28:19-20 "[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20],Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments." John 14:21, 23-24 "[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. [23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. [24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me." We must obey Jesus, as Christians. Stop working for money, for the food and drink that perishes! Did Jesus work for money? Did Paul? Did Peter? Did John? No, and for those that had done it, like Peter, they left all and followed Jesus/God. We *need* to do this too. Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 6:24 "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." We have to serve God to do His will. We cannot enter Heaven without doing His will. We cannot serve Him and do His will if we also serve mammon, or money. Quit your job if you have one and work for God! He *commands* us to do this! Our eternal destination depends greatly on this one simple thing! I know it can be tough to accept, but have in God to provide your needs if you provide His will's doing. Please contact me at [e-mail] if you would like to talk about this. Thank you.

Richard Rohr says, "Jesus never excludes people." I'm convinced Jesus would not exclude him from His words: "Woe to you, blind guides." Rohr says, "we've" done this and that wrong, but he doesn't mean himself, he means other people whom he condemns, while holding himself aloof and better than all those others. The jesus Rohr believes may be fine with contraception and abortion, but the Jesus I believe did not compromise the Truth even while He insisted on love of neighbor. BOTH are required.

[@EricHansonGeek]

Remember to read the Word of God - the Bible - and compare it to all teaching. Every prophet, thought, and inspiration must match up with the Word of God to be truth - no matter how much you want it to be true. Everything else is a lie. Yes, the church has often failed to value what mattered to Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, the son of the living God. As we listen to God's word and obey what God is telling us, we love God (1 John 5:3). As Jesus declared, he is the only way to God (John 14:6). Jesus told us what he expects in Matthew 22:36-40 (love God first and love people unconditionally) and in Matthew 28:18-20 (sharing the good news of Jesus sacrifice, forgiveness, and new life; making disciples; teaching/exemplifying what Jesus commanded). As individuals, churches, communities, and nations we have a decision to make. To love God above everything else in our lives or not. To become living sacrifices (Romans 12:1-2) grateful for the amazing grace we've received because of Jesus sacrifice (death, burial, and resurrection) or not. In Matthew 19:16-30, Jesus made it clear to the rich young man he had to sell all he had and give his riches away to follow Him and gain eternal life. Jesus asks each of us for every idol that is more important than Him. Whether that is riches, cars, family, or power - it must fall by the wayside so that Christ is the most important thing in my life. What idol is Christ asking you to surrender? Are you willing to dump it at the foot of the cross and follow Him? The reward is truly eternal.

[@EricHansonGeek]

***** You say well when you say "remember to love your enemies" and that love is "a decision to be made every moment of every day of your entire life." Jesus taught both of these truths over "religion" and when asked about the most important commandments, both were based on love. In Mark 12:28-31 (www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+12%3A28-31&version=ESV) 29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Brother thanks for your exelent explanation. My question is, what is the difference between jesus teaching and keeping the sabbath, the passover and all festivals. For example. (1) I helped a poor man. (2) I gave food, clothes to the needy ones. I am honest, I say my prayer daily, I attend church on Sunday not Saturday, I am doing everything that Jesus taught. But I am not keeping the sabbath, the passover and all festivals which are all commanded by God. What's the difference between jesus teaching and the commandments. What actually are these commandments. Jesus himself said to obey the commandments. Please enlighten about the commandments. Is circumcision , not to eat pork, are the commandments of God. We have to keep in mind that Jesus obeyed each and every commandments . And jesus said do as I say. So this becomes a commandment. Are Christians really keeping the commandments.

I believe Christianity is finally loosing its grip on "People Of The Way" My prayer is that we will once again become followers of His Way. The way of the Great Commandment.

[@georgegrubbs2966]

Amazingly, he is incorrect about 313 AD being when Christianity became the Imperial religion. Constantine made Christianity a legal religion that could coexist with other religions. It was Theodosius the Great in 380 AD who made Christianity the only official religion in the Roman Empire, the Imperial religion. I am amazed that Dr. Rohr got this wrong.

Richard Rohr for Pope please!!!

Nice job! Excellent reminder!

Love your enemies

[@realzoomy]

The vicar at my last church hated me because I was a pest. He thought I was a pest, because I went into the sideroom to pray for the victims of Pindown and the secret family courts and the vicar wanted me to stop doing it, but I couldnt stop doing it because God told me to do it.

[@grahammurphy1178]

He's absolutely right. Christ taught 5 main commandments. Non violence in thought and actions. No adultery in thought and actions. No taking of oaths legal or otherwise. Loving all people foreign or otherwise equally. And don't be angry or disparage anyone. A wonderful book on this topic is Leo Tolstoys My religion and The Kingdom of God is within you.

[@319marya]

you have helped to renew my faith. thank you

[@tarmbruster1]

It seems that the sermon on the mount , we just can't do.

[@johnpfmcguire]

Starts out accurate & inspiring, then takes a sharp turn 4 the devilishly obtuse. Fr. Rohr, U seem nice, but gee, every relatively studious Christian from the beginning (!) has said the Eucharist is no ordinary meal. It's a good practice not 2 discriminate w/ whom U eat. I like hanging out & chewing the fat (or bread & wine) w/ all sorts of people--the more different from me the better! But from the get-go, Jesus reserved his Body and Blood for his own in the world, & the Church follows suit.(!)

[@annalisastrickland8044]

Love your enemy does not mean "thank them for hurting you."

[@secretscribe2587]

Being the church of the empire really messed it all up. I don't even know where to begin, with that one.

[@dannydoj]

This man teaches that the Beatitudes must be taught literally but Jesus' teaching on Hell should be taught metaphorically.

[@uuunderground]

@fonz1231 What's your point? He also said the kingdom is within you.

[@DaneStolthed]

"But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.” The words of Jesus in Luke 19:27 Could you please explain the above to me in light of your criticism of the "Church"?

[@doggy255]

+Paul Anthony aren't all the parables clearly called out as such?

[@doggy255]

this is what I don't get about the bible. it has so much contradiction. confusion is a breading ground for hate, so why does the bible confuse?

[@truethinker221]

The bible forces us to wrestle with God, resulting in purging the soul.

[@seraphim7512]

+Nate725 it's paradoxical not contradictory...

[@paulwhite451]

Clearly this means, the "Enemies of Christ" are those who refuse to "Love Everyone". Those are the ones who will be destroyed in the end. He clearly states in the Synoptic Gospels that those who love the neighbor and help the helpless will inherit eternal life. This is a command against the enemies of Love itself.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Check out Anthony De Mello as well. Life shifting stuff!

If this guy became the pope I’f have some hope for the world

[@cre8509]

The very Non-negotiable he begins with, NON-VIOLENCE, is exactly what motivates those who are pro-life. Yet he calls "stances on contraception" (Abortion) an added, "new non-negotiable." But what could be more violent than dissecting an unborn baby and pulling it out piece by piece? One in power taking the life of the most vulnerable? He has the right to have a different stance, but it's surprising to hear someone who is supposed to be so intelligent unable to see how the conviction of Non-Violence would, logically, lead to a pro-life stance.

[@P.H.888]

OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST SAID ~ “YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN FROM ABOVE”‼️ THE TRANSCENDENT GOD SPIRIT ETERNAL CREATOR LOVE TRUTH LIGHT Not from within, but from ABOVE ‼️ A True SAVIOUR NEEDED ‼️ Not A reformer ! ( religious turning of leaves)

[@cynthiaduprey9005]

jesus hates no one he would just try to help people if he was here today and get them on a good path

[@franji251]

I think the "Christian" countries have also done alot. There are many Christian and non- Christian people working with the people who would have been the "outcasts" of the old testament. I don't think its fair to ignore the fact that we at least try to help each other. We are all so busy Father, we are tired just trying to keep our heads above water. We are kept blinded and powerless by those people who start those wars.

[@charlesbenedetti8607]

I'm not sure if he is still living, but if yes, he'll be delighted to know that Jesus is currently speaking again to Earth thru many channels. One lady who channels His messages , Tina Spaulding, received the contents of the book "MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY" around 15-20 years ago in which Jesus corrects the distortions of the church about His life and mission, explaining how his followers simply did not understand him. The Bible and the church of today have it all wrong !

[@Michaelthevagabond]

...IF...If we Love our enemy then they are no longer our enemy (although they my perceive us as theirs :( )...Love them even more, what have we got to lose? ...we have ours ;) !!! ...BUT...Love means it's about them...and they have to gain what we have :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) ...

[@TMPreRaff]

I detect more vagabond than poet...

[@mitchellmckain8373]

It would be overstating things considerably to say that Jesus advocated pacifism. Turning the other cheek was after all the response to a slap -- which is more in the nature of an insult and provocation than deadly violence. And not only does Jesus commit violence Himself in cleansing the temple, but there are several parables which takes war and self-defense for granted. And then there is the considerable violence which God commanded in the Bible. The point is that one can take this aspect of Jesus' teaching to an unjustified extreme. Nonviolence is not quite the same thing as pacifism. I am reminded particularly of the non-violent protests of Ghandi, which were extremely effective. What Jesus advocated sounds much more like going out of ones way to avoid violence and to make peace and not that of no fighting in self-defense whatsoever. You don't overcome the numerous viscous killers in history by playing nicey nice. Sometimes violence in defense of the innocent as is used by police is both necessary and right. But this doesn't mean that Richard Rohr isn't completely correct in his condemnation of historical Christianity which was quite often looking for an excuse to wage war rather than avoiding it.

[@sugarpump]

Oh......... nice but seemed like an abrupt ending??

[@PerpetualPreponderer]

It began with the absolutely brutal heinous and frankly shocking persecution of the Nazarenes & Ebionites, and the followers of Arius. To me that’s the clearest sign of the evil that emerged from the prior council. There is n reasonable explanation as to why such a young church would persecute so vehemently vigorously and assiduously THEIR OWN BRETHEN in Christ, unless there was some real threat to their power the teachings & opinions these people professed. It is the Roman Catholics who barbarically brutalised plundered and sullied the name of Christ, then outdone only by their Protestant English cousins centuries later. All the while, the true followers of Christ remained hidden & underground, they had a sacred duty to hold on to & pass down Jesus’s pure and true message. And now in the age of information, the truth is emerging bit by bit, but only those with objective vision and unbiased hearts can appreciate it. Let us pray that this prompts all of us to repent & return to Wisdom, amen.

[@realzoomy]

@tarmbruster1 He wouldn't have said it if it was not possible. He said that everything is possible through faith. Our problem is that we keep refusing to work with God!

[@limolnar]

True Christianity focuses on the Truth that "God became man so that man could become God." Humility, nonjudgement, moderation, service, fraternity, and nonconfrontation are the original teachings of the Christ. All else is corruption.

[@martyfeinstein4454]

This is the kind of nonsense that one can expect when the link to the Divine is broken.

Marty Feinstein and a disappearance of faith.

Jesus taught the Law

[@markballantyne393]

Jesus taught us to share.that is holy communion.

[@maryfisher14]

RIGHT. check out the Catechism of the Catholic Church and get back to me on that one.

[@realzoomy]

Other people were joining in, and it was at coffee and tea time, so he tried to stop me praying. But I was not being noisy or doing anyone any harm, so I just carried on, and they started a whispering campaign about me. Then I found out he was a Jesuit, and the church was a Protestant church. I think he hated me praying for victims of child abuse because of the Catholic church abuse. But it was not my fault was it?

[@sponsler]

People put Jesus and God in a box, and bend them to their own understanding and centered self thinking, when it is explicitly written, "Lean not to your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him". The Christina flag could read SOS, but who's listening to Him? We can't save others by force, but through our own afflictions.

[@EdwardGraveline]

John 2:15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
