There is no evidence of a historical Jesus. But, that doesn't mean he didn't exist. Maybe there were many Jesuses at different times in the history of mankind, when we needed someone to wake us up. Maybe instead of calling them Jesus we could just simply call them Awaken.
And probably there are many today. But, It's not what I'm talking about.
Again, I'm pretty sure you are correct, but you are talking about something completely different.
Messiah is the Hebrew term mashiach, meaning "the anointed one," referring to a savior or liberator chosen by God to restore a group of people. This is something that the Jews have made up. And Christians adopted. In Christianity Jesus of Nazareth is believed to be the Messiah who fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies. But, IMO this is just a made up story. God, and I happen to believe there is one, I call him pure consciousness, has never chosen anyone, an individual human being, and never will. This God has chosen to create Humanity, and for that purpose he chose all 8 billion of us. We're all his sons and daughters, whoever says otherwise is only trying to divide us. The divine spark is the portion of the true, transcendent God (pure consciousness) that resides within each human being, trapped within the material world we are born in.
All you have to do is recognize the portion of God that resides within each one of us (within yourself), the inner divine spark, and connect. Once you do that then you become a Christ, or a Messiah, which is nothing more than a title. Jesus is just a name, just like yours may be Michael or John, but it's not who he or you are. You are a divine spark (a small portion of the infinite consciousness) temporarily housed in a material body. I hope you now understand what I meant by "many Jesuses".
So universalism? Sympathy for the devil? Where do you put this forum's favorite despots and tyrants when they die, are they Jesuses?
I appreciate your saying it's your opinion because I have relative respect for universalists who don't insist on everyone else agreeing with them. (Kinda defeats the argument of universalism to believe that some argument is necessary to get others to agree with you if you believe they will already.)
