Christ would be ashamed of what the Romans did to His teaching in Catholisism. He would likely grow more ashamed seeing his teachings spread and grow incorrectly. It is true that adaption may have been needed to survive, but removing women from their rightly spot as head of the moral and ethical household...that is not something He would like. There is no True Church. There may have been at the begining, during the harshest pursecution of Christians.

The Jews did not reject him. Christ is one of the "universally" accepted Saints. He is a Saint, a Profit, to the Jewish people, and He is the same to the Islamic faith. He was slain at the cross because the Roman's needed a scapegoat, and propaganda was used to such effect.

If you look at the Bible, by itself, it has been altered by human frailties so that the quid-pro-quo could be kept by the Romans. Women lost power and respect that the Bible truely teaches. It also lost some of its power. There are groups trying to revive the original text, but that may be difficult. With propaganda like Christ being married and having children...irrepitable damage may have been done.

The religion was destroyed by Christ. The relationship was created. When people get that through their thick skulls, the Earth will no longer have a purpose and will be engulfed in the Life Flame that GOD promised would destroy the planet. Christ preached love and forgiveness.

Are there still sins? Yes! Are they the same as from the Old Testement? Yes and No. Christ, however, told the world that he would take its sins and wash them away as He plunged Himself into the very fires of Hell. The truests sense of Christ's message is:

Religion is dead. Leave your theologies behind and simply live for a true relationship with GOD. Love GOD as GOD loves you and you will get to see Heaven on that Glorious Day.


That is the message, in as few words as possible. The Christian community has been "forced" (figuratively speaking) to forget that. So...my answer is He would be ashamed of what has happened to the Message.
