1. Apparently a lot of discussion related to most if not all of the key words (searchable) that have been covered in the past few years can be useful, imo, without repeating them here again and again.
2. I think it would take much time to transform from one mindset to another. imo, Jesus as he explained himself was just an ordinary person like everyone else, besides he could be a leading figure (as his firm conviction perhaps after travelling and studying in many places/theories/cultures/religions/etc. - a wise-man indeed) envisioning a challenge against institutional religions.
3. In Stoicism, God is everything included - Jesus is part of the universe/God. Therefore no conflicts against any conventional religious terms/concepts/theories - as Jesus mainly said he was the son of God. Every human being without exception is a daughter/son of God!!!
Jesus' original idea I guess was trying to promote and market (much much less than 1/3 of) the Stoicism - a practical philosophy, into a popular daily-life philosophy. That's why it was/has been so successful in human history. He's very very visionary.
4. In the Gospel of Mary, Jesus didn't accept the term 'Sin' at all, afaik. The kind of Christian Systematic Theology (based on an outdated holy book which was one of the best books in Jesus age, imo) should be critically reviewed and updated to become more practical philosophy, like Stoicism.
Better just focus on the red letters said personally by Jesus.
5. I would believe most likely we can have a much better world, peaceful and mindful, when the world is able to truly implement the Jesus' daily-life philosophy.
Stoicism might be also another missing link, as I see, for the conventional religions to be updated in the future.
LOL

LOL 1. My guess is the God Jesus believes in the Bible is the Stoicism god. That is an everybody's God, believers and non-believers of any faith or no faith.
Just like Jesus mentioned 'raining is for all guys (usage), not merely for a few ("selected").'
2. Any kind of sidetrack should be avoided/minimised.
