Jesus believed he was God and that his followers were divine too
Psalm 8:26
>I have said, Ye are Gods

Early Christians engaged in genocide of the Gnostics who took that sentiment literally

God resides in Christians. By having faith in God and following God's commandments, we can experience a significant part of Heaven while on Earth. We do not need to wait until death to experience the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is partially here now.

The key to understanding the Bible is understanding the Old Testament and by extension Second Temple Judaism
In the time Christ lived, the second temple was a physical location that was being reconstructed under Herod in hopes that God the Father would return to his historical seat within the Arc of the Covenant and the temple
The Father had abandoned them though over their wickedness and turned them over to Roman slavery in hopes that they would repent
They never really got the point and doubled down on their sins, so Christ came to straighten the record
In this passage, He is rebuking the Pharisees for expecting the restoration of Holy Jerusalem to be of this world, and reveals that through repentance that the Kingdom will be given to them in the world to come, rather than the political restoration they were pining after

Even to this day, Evangelical Christians (dispensationalists) and opportunistic Zionists are chasing this pipe dream of a worldly kingdom and the political effects of this sin are resonating through our current world

so Christianity and Judaism are derivatives of a common religion?

>>18631979
Modern Judaism is called Rabbinical Judaism and is pretty much a cope built around denying that Jesus was the Christ prophesied in the Old Testament
Meanwhile, Second Temple Jews that acknowledge the divinity of Jesus as the Christ converted to Christianity and the closest modern version of their tradition would be Orthodox Christianity
So yes, they're both from the same origin, but the Rabbinical Jews are uh doing a very foolish thing by denying their own messiah

The gospel means the kingdom’s good news. By accepting the good news that Jesus Christ is alive, and he really did die on the cross for the world’s sins, and shed his own blood for the remissions of the world’s sins, and you can just receive it by believing in him, his blood, and in his broken body, his resurrection after being laid in the tomb for 3 full days and 3 full nights, after living to be 33, and was ascended into heaven to sit at God’s own right hand on the throne in Heaven. After this is within your heart, and the Word of God, the KJV Bible, it is now written on your heart and your mind. Your spirit now has faith growing in you, living it from the reading and hearing of the kingdom of God. Now that kingdom is within you, forgiving others, is the fulfillment of the law. The desire to want God because it is within you. See the picture you posted? You feel that way within you and you pray to God asking in Jesus’ name for your desires of your heart. Now you can share with others, too, this kingdom, or if it is too dangerous to share it because people don’t want Jesus, then just live in that kingdom by yourself and with those who already have it. Jesus prayed for the unity of christians, that he wasn’t failing with the shedding of his own righteous blood. Dying even. Going to hell and being forsaken by God his Father. Yet was the plan. Like when one would be exalted in the Bible, they would first go down to the river Jordan , to the Dead Sea, which is the lowest point on earth they could find. Before God exalted them. God said “this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased”, flying over him with an actual white dove / the Holy Spirit. By sight, people go to the physical geographical location to get water out of the river Jordan thinking it has holy powers. But by faith, the burger American Christian knows that the water in the baptistry is holy and sanctified and still counts as the full submersion baptism and dont need importd

So Jesus Christ was the only son of God. The second Adam, that restores the Adam covenant with God for us, (and you can have your Eve wife in Jesus Christ, too). He was the king of the Jews. His name is exalted above all and every name. The only thing exalted higher is God’s Word, which is magnified (Psalm 138:2
King James Version
2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.)
His Holy temple is up , which is why prayer hands are formed like a steeple. Like the word we use at the end: Amen. He spoke ancient Aramaic and probably any language. He was God, and miracles were performed as if he was. Non believers therefore can’t find any evidence God is not real. Science doesn’t disprove anything in Genesis. The Bible is either literally true or God’s Word is damned. Salvation unto eternal life (get to go to heaven) cannot be obtained by a church membership, or by proxy, or by wearing of religious clothing, or profession. It can only be gotten by believing in your own salvation in your own heart from Jesus Christ by confession of your sins so that then by his shed blood those sins are washed away. I.e. they don’t get washed away unless you tell God “I have sins and I am sorry, can you forgive me by your blood?” And it is already done, past, present, and future. I.e. you can’t go to hell if you died before you confessed if you got saved. I was saved at six years old.

In Genesis, God is called the LORD GOD. This title is maybe not understood by you when you are little. You just think “lol, wow, he is really important”, but it means he has power to be Lord over all gods. We are talking about belief in the actual Prime Mover Creator God who Created everything and everyone. The Greek gods for example are based on eternal attributes like Zeus is a sky god Father of all the Gods type, with powers of lightning and weather. That means there eternally always existed a Zeus, we just call him Zeus because that is the Greek one who they discovered first. He is real, by the way,but also a false god, because a false god means this god has boundaries. He’s finite, and can’t go beyond his throne’s domain. Egypt has their gods, China has their pantheon, Vikings had Odin the AllFather, the Greeks and Romans had Zeus and Jupiter/the emperor just like they had Eros was the Greek version of Cupid, Indians had Ancient Spirits, Africans, Aztecs, Hawaiians had gods, much of it went into human sacrifice , Hindus are still coming up with new gods they have thousands, and Roman Catholics have saints.
The Bible says all of it is real. Including evil gods, witchcraft, evil spirits, and other such superstitious things. But God is in control of all of it. Thar’s why he is the LORD GOD.
