Our Lord came. A lot of what he said was open to interpretation, and a lot of interpretations grew up around His words and life. No it wasn't...It's a matter of belief and then understanding...Not interpretation...
The important thing is that people find their way to the God that is within them; and thats going to be a somewhat different path for each person.
Where did you get the notion that God is within everyone???
(I dont understand this perpetual *fighting* over something that is supposed to be about LOVE. It seems to me that if people were actually following the instruction of Jesus, we wouldnt see threads like this.
Jesus was adamant about correct doctrine...

It seems to me that God made everything that exists from His imagination. The only Life in anything that exists in the material world, is God.
In him we live and move and have our being.
We were told that the Kingdom of God is within us; and that if we would seek that Kingdom, all else would be added to us.
What could we possibly find within, which would lead to all else, unless the thing within is God?
God is the only thing that is Real; all of creation is God expressing Himself.
Its the only thing that makes sense.
As Tennyson wrote,
Speak to Him, thou, for He hears, and Spirit with Spirit can meet. Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet.
