Understanding God

[TruthSeeker]

Salvation?
Following Jesus by example.
Attain that oneness with God that Jesus had.
This I believe is the ultimate goal.

This concept did not sit well with the early orthodox church fathers so therefore it was more to a political advantage and for their own gain to change it to a personality cult religion.
If you don't "bear the cross" ,to me, it seems more like the easy way out..a copout which I don't believe was the original intent.

Jesus was a rebel. Of course he wouldn't want us to just sit down and wait for him to come back.
