Portfolio 1: Who is Jesus, Really?"

To me Jesus taught how to live life ethically. What is great about Jesus is he used stories to teach people how to act in such a way. He made people think really about what the story meant. They weren't just stories because the point of these stories were the morals of them. Jesus wanted everyone to treat each other with dignity and show that no one is better than anyone else. He also wanted to give people something to have hope in. He wanted to give the people something that couldn't be taken away by anyone else. Even though I don't believe the stories were true they did just have the purpose of getting a point across like teaching people to be nice to each other. He also used stories to make it so the sick were not casted out of society by having stories told of how he healed a lepard or other things of that standing. I believe in his ethical teachings but I don't believe in the religious part of him being the son of the christian god. I know all of his stories are most likly false but I will belive in the meaning of his teachings. So I am a follower of Jesus in the sense that I try to live ethically. I will say that trying to live in such a way is not easy. I live as best as I can trying to not judge anyone and try to not look down on them. I am only human and do give into making fun of people and doing some non-ethical things.
