2. Jesus Christ is the Son of God
3. According the Founder of the Bahai faith (Baha'u'llah) , this is who Jesus was:
   
   "Know thou that when the Son of Man yielded up His breath to God, the whole creation wept with a great weeping. By sacrificing Himself, however, a fresh capacity was infused into all created things. Its evidences, as witnessed in all the peoples of the earth, are now manifest before thee. The deepest wisdom which the sages have uttered, the profoundest learning which any mind hath unfolded, the arts which the ablest hands have produced, the influence 86 exerted by the most potent of rulers, are but manifestations of the quickening power released by His transcendent, His all-pervasive, and resplendent Spirit.
   
   We testify that when He came into the world, He shed the splendor of His glory upon all created things. Through Him the leper recovered from the leprosy of perversity and ignorance. Through Him, the unchaste and wayward were healed. Through His power, born of Almighty God, the eyes of the blind were opened, and the soul of the sinner sanctified.
   
   Leprosy may be interpreted as any veil that interveneth between man and the recognition of the Lord, his God. Whoso alloweth himself to be shut out from Him is indeed a leper, who shall not be remembered in the Kingdom of God, the Mighty, the All-Praised. We bear witness that through the power of the Word of God every leper was cleansed, every sickness was healed, every human infirmity was banished. He it is Who purified the world. Blessed is the man who, with a face beaming with light, hath turned towards Him."
   
   (Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 85)

5. 7:15 Jesus was not only the son of God but his ultimate sacrifice for a man's redemption. a paid ransom that no one would or could pay. but we are all sons and doughters of God, so he is mistaken, or just does not understand the diffrence?...
6. Jesus also said 'the father is in me, and I in the Father'.
7. 20:20
8. I don't understand why so many people say Jesus went to India. There is so little evidence of that. He never came back teaching yoga and meditation, or being a vegetarian or anything like that. The person that they say was in India could have been any mystic/guru type. Why is it so hard to imagine that other peoples can be mystics in other traditions and came to similar conclusions about treating each other kindly and god is within?
9. at 27:25 a new conversation or topic takes place. I cant really hear with all the static and muffled feed back. its there a clear clean sound page or subtitle of some sort on YouTube?.
10. Wrong, Mr. Watts. There's a huge amount of evidence of his long stay in India, Tibet, and other neighbouring countries, where he learned yoga, meditation, etc. Read "The Lost Years of Jesus" by renown Elizabeth Prophet. She collected all the prove there.
11. 23:33
12. Ok, and Jesus said once to his disciples:
    
    “I am come to do away with sacrifices, and if you cease not sacrificing,
    the wrath of God will not cease from you.”
    
    "One may allow me to say that Jesus had not preached a new religion, but a new life."

13. Whenever I see your Channel logo I cant help but see the statement
    
    WAY BEYOND SEEKING
    in my mind.. in letters so so tall...
    
    good thing, this channel.
14. bull.... god is the way the truth and the light....so is jesus.... same thing.
15. Jesus and Christians today have the same exact difficulties. Jesus didnt know he will resurrect. He had to have faith in the prophecies just as we have faith he will return again. The Bible also mentions that God had to separate from his Son when he took the sins of the world in the garden of Gethsemane. Jesus had never felt this before and he wasn't sure what he was doing was correct and had to have faith he was doing the right thing. This guy doesnt understand Christian theology.
