The FLAWS and FAILURES of Jesus Christ

               "Christianity was ORIGINALLY a valid Path of The 
          Vairagi Masters.  Jesus was a Vairagi Master, although 
          He had some major FLAWS that led to His FAILURE.  (The 
          word "Vairag" means "mental DETACHMENT".)"  Quoted from 
          http://members.aol.com/rem460/deadxmas.txt and 
          http://www.geocities.com/remspiral7/deadxmas.txt . 

               FLAW #1.  Vairagi Masters are NOT supposed to show 
          off miracles in public.  One of Jesus' first miracles 
          was turning water into wine for a bunch of people who 
          were ALREADY DRUNK. 

               One of the next things He did was CURSE a fig tree, 
          thereby KILLING it, just because it wasn't producing 
          fruit.  What He SHOULD have done there, if anything, was 
          to HEAL the tree, when NObody was watching. 

               His healings of people had two major NEGATIVE 
          effects.  First, they ENRAGED the Sanhedrin and other 
          religious leaders in the area.  Secondly, ALL faith 
          healers INHERIT some of the NEGATIVE KARMA of the people 
          that they heal.  If they keep doing it, the karma 
          ACCUMULATES and eventually BLOWS UP IN THEIR FACE. 

               FLAW #2.  Vairagi Masters are NOT supposed to 
          become ANGRY or VIOLENT.  So you have that incident 
          where He drove the money-changers out of the temple with 
          WIPS.  That is THE NUMBER ONE REASON why they had Him 
          EXECUTED.  Not ONLY did this ENRAGE the Sanhedrin, it 
          also BLASPHEMED the MONEY-GOD ! 

               FLAW #3.  Many of His words and deeds near the end 
          indicate some kind of MARTYR COMPLEX. 

               FAILURE #1.  His career as a Vairagi Master lasted 
          ONLY 3 years. 

               FAILURE #2.  He FAILED to FULLY train any successors.

               FAILURE #3.  The number of people receiving any 
          kind of real Salvation from Him was ONLY about 120.  
          (See Acts 1:15 KJV.)
