My understanding is that you have never said you dreamed of Jesus but that, according to the following sources you have made the following comments about his teachings:
“While I’m not a particularly religious person … I do believe that the teachings of Jesus are good and wise.”
“I believe in the principles of Christianity like love thy neighbour as thyself (have empathy for all) and turn the other cheek (end the cycle of retribution).”
“Christianity has become toothless … Unless there is more bravery to stand up for what is fair and right, Christianity will perish.”
My hope is that these quotations are accurate and that they continue to reflect your belief that the teachings of Jesus are “good and wise.” because should that inDEED be true, you are capable of greatly diminishing the amount of suffering in the world. You are clearly a very intelligent and capable man and should you steer your wealth into efforts to allievate poverty, you would be admired and thanked by millions.
Luke 12:33
Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions…..“Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old…For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 19:23–24
Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven…
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.
Mark 12:43–44
This poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing… She out of her poverty has put in everything she had.
Matthew 25:35–36, 40
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink…
As you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.
Luke 19:8–9
Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone… I restore it fourfold.”
Jesus responds: today salvation has come to this house.
Jesus tossing out the money changers form the temple.
