All of these thoughts are coming from continued reading and discussions and our thoughts and observations.  If they offend you, I am sorry.

In my studies, reading, and thinking on the subject of modern Christianity.  I have decided that for it to survive and be relevant into the future the based root theology of Christianity need some reformation, more truth to it.

Let me give my perspective.  In my reading and studies, Jesus of Nazareth was a prophet type, a healer, and an exorcist.  All common occurrences in his time.  He did not want are feel it need to share his messages and teaching with anyone not Jewish.  His goal was to change his religion and free them from Roman control.   He was a failure at his goal.   He never called himself a messiah, nor the son of God.  However, he did on at least two recorded occasions call himself the son of man.  That the division after his death inside his followers seems to have been the roots for different paths to belief patterns inside of Christianity.

I think the path Paul took led to what became the Orthodox and Coptic Churches and James and Peter became the Catholic.  But none of it every affected the one church he wanted to and lived his life trying to change.  Further, he was apocalyptic in his approaches, preaching the end of the Sanhedrin and priests class stranglehold on his people's ability to connect to God.

The problem came when those keeping his message going had to change it to keep it going.  Suddenly he was resurrected, he was Son of God and they started ignore his failures.   The obfuscated the truth or just totally ignored it.

So all of this is leading me to believe a theology based on the truths of what Jesus was and not who his followers made him,  or better yet, change it to reflect that it was based on the teachings and interpretation of the  Paul and Peter.  Then you can build from there.

Well, these are my opening thoughts.
