Jesus did not intend to start a religion. Jesus was a wisdom teacher who walked a wisdom path, much like Buddha some 500 years before him, and showed us, by example, how to achieve enlightenment, and thus, unity with God, which is the ultimate destiny of all of us, though it takes some longer than others.
Jesus wasn't "saved" by "accepting Jesus". Neither was the thief on the cross next to him. Neither were Moses and Elijah, who the disciples saw talking with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration.
Jesus' resurrection was intended to show us that we are all eternal spirits, temporarily housed in physical bodies that decay and die. But these bodies are not "us".
Jesus intended to FREE people from religion and religious legalism, because those things hindered people from walking a spiritual path and attaining enlightenment.
Jesus is the son of God in the sense that we are ALL sons and daughters of God. God is not angry and looking to punish people for sins. We punish ourselves through the karma we create. Jesus gave only one rule, and that was to love God and love others as ourselves. He said if we could do that, we didn't have to worry about anything else because we wouldn't be breaking any rules or laws, and thus, wouldn't be "sinning".
And somehow, Jesus' life and example got twisted into a religion where nothing makes sense. And the christian church tells people a story - that it's about a one shot deal where you either accept Jesus and spend eternity with God, or you fail to accept Jesus and spend eternity in hell. And thus, when people read the bible, which most don't because frankly, there's a lot of parts of it that are just downright gruesome and horrible, but when they do, they read it with the back-story they've been told, and thus they take what it says in that context - that it's all about accepting Jesus and either going to heaven or hell.
But if you read what Jesus said, did, and taught, and take it exactly for what it is, without the christian church's back story, you'll find something quite different. Jesus never said he was God incarnate. His central message, over and over again, was that the "Kingdom of God has come near."
Gospel means "good news", but to believe that the majority of people that have ever lived on this planet are going to spend eternity in hell and torment is NOT good news.
