I think the Creator is the absolute, but He can take any form to represent His true nature, because think of this, the Creator is in all things yet not all things represent the true nature of Himself.Jesus Christ was the fully representation of the Creator, many came before Him and many came after Him, but there was nobody to be like Him, all the other people were just showing glimpses of the true nature of the Creator.Think about Buddha, he was a teacher, a master, no doubt he attained an incredibile wisdom but he is long forgotten, his message was not the "message", his way was no the "way", Jesus Christ stands even to this day.People tried/try to use Christ as a tool to control people and to make money and in doing so, in their ignorance, they did a great thing, they spread His teachings to the whole world, just like He said it would happend.When we are doing a good thing for our neighbour, out of unconditional love, then we also show glimpses of the true nature of the Creator, let your light shine so that the whole world may see it and in doing so to know the Father.You don't need to be a christian to know the Father, but you would become one when you will truly know Him.Don't think that I talk about the regular christians who call themselves christians and don't follow the teachings of Christ, I am only talking about the ones who really keep and live His teachings.

That is very well put. I too believe that God can and does manifest in any form that is most appropriate for a sincere devotee.

Just everything, everywhere alive and conscious, breathing, pulsing...
the mountains, to the trees right near me...walls...the background scenery...
It's 'almost ' like a form, cuz every form I see is 'Him'...Spirit, alive!!
In e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.
It is quite stunning...my mouth is always dropped when this happens and I forget to breathe.
I move in slow motion for hours to days.
Then, inside...white Light.
Ya wanna see God? Sit for hours and hours and hours a sitting, and focus inside at the Third Eye and above...
hold your eyes still. Be still...as still as you could ever imagine, stop all thought, focus, only focus...every day.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

And another 535 million sentient beings loitering around the spiritual planes of the Earth looking for rebirth after they have been liberated from the flesh.
Sad really that they can not realize a better existence in the promised lands of eternal spiritual progression, radiance, beauty & abundance which has been created for them to reside in, imediately after their liberation.
Oh well Sky..it is a pity that you & the rest have your heads in the sand & not willing to at least give it a go therein.

Tell me, what is the essence of the buddhist belief? You seem to know a lot about Buddha.
In my view, Buddha was just a man, like me and you, who woke up, who awaken himself to the truth, still, he died, of course, being aware of the moment of his death, many of the christian saints had this "gift" to know when they are going to die.As the story goes on, he awaken himself because of what He saw outside the walls of his palace, this shocked him to the core of his being pushing him harder and harder to find the truth ( this is what is happening to me every single day )
Jesus came directly from the Creator to awaken us, He was the Creator, He came for me and you, this was his mission, in this world, it's like we are sleeping, and is very hard to wake up on your own, Jesus showed us "the way" back home, He gave us "the message". In my view, Christ was already awaken, remember the story when He stayed at the temple doing His Father's business, that's really incredible.

Yes I agree Jesus is a Buddha
Biblical Stories don't have any importance for me, I have gone past that episode in my life and now look within... but if they bring you comfort that's good.
Jesus came from the creator, Jesus is the creator????? Jesus was also just a Man like you and me...
