Jesus Was Not A Christian: Healing the Shame and Fear from Man-made Theology

Jesus Was Not A Christian: Healing the Shame and Fear from Man-made Theology by Stacey, Jim. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781449927851.

As a former minister, Jim Stacey uncovers how Christianity has perverted the message of Jesus in Jesus was not a Christian. Instead of practicing love for our neighbors, love for enemies, turning the other cheek, the kingdom within, and birthing a new self that Jesus said were paramount for one who claims to follow him, Christians have blindly followed church rules and regulations. Stacey shows just how much has been lost, including a recognition of the feminine face of God. Belief held no power for Jesus, but practicing his message was all that mattered. Christianity has lost the Jesus they claim to follow, but in Jesus was not a Christian, Stacey brings back Jesus and his real message. Provocative and inspirational, Jesus was not a Christian points the way to a deeper spiritual practice of Jesus words, instead of just more religion.
