Jesus Was a Samaritan believer, as as such he never claimed to [literally] be God, nor the Son of God

Christianity claims Jesus is the God of Israel. Is this correct? Or is it just a little misunderstanding? Well, the gospel records an incident where the Jewish leadership wanted to stone Jesus.
Why? For the blasphemy of making himself equal to God: “We aren’t stoning you for a good work”, the Jews answered, “but for blasphemy, because you—being a man—make yourself God”- John 10: 33 (Christian standard Bible).
What was Jesus reply to this alleged blasphemy? Was he really making himself equal to God?: «Jesus answered them, Isn’t it written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? («I said, “You are gods; you are all Sons of the Most High”»- Psalm 82: 6), If he called those to whom the word of God came ‘gods’—and the Scripture cannot be broken— do you say, ‘You are blaspheming’ to the one the Father set apart and sent into the world, because I said: ‘I am the Son of God’? »- John 10: 34-36 (Christian standard Bible).
In other words, Jesus reply was the following: «Listen guys, don’t get upset so fast; If Scripture called “gods” [in a symbolic fashion] those who merely received the word of God, why is it wrong for me to call myself “the Son of God” [a much lesser term]? After all, wasn’t Adam just a man [like myself], yet he is spoken of as “the Son of God” (“… son of Enos, son of Seth, son of ADAM, SON OF GOD”- Luke 3: 38)? ».
In short, Jesus made clear to his audience that, whenever he seemed to make himself equal to God (or to be “The Son of God”), he was merely using a literary license that allowed any Israelite believer to consider himself both “god”, as well as “the Son of God”. As is written: «I said, “YOU [ISRAELITES] ARE GODS; YOU ARE ALL SONS OF THE MOST HIGH”»- Psalm 82: 6…. «And you will say to Pharaoh: This is what the Lord says: “ISRAEL IS MY FIRSTBORN SON”»- Exodus 4: 22

When Paul’s doctrine contradicts Moses doctrine, whom are we supposed to follow?

In order to figure out whether to follow Paul’s doctrine or Moses doctrine, first consider the following facts, then reach your own conclusions:

1) Moses wrote himself his five books of Torah (God’s Law): “Moses wrote down this Law and gave it to the priests... ”- Deut. 31: 9, Christian Standard Bible
2) Moses never went blind: “Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died; his eyes were not weak... ”- Deut. 34: 7, C. S. B
3) Paul could not write his own epistles: “I, Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord”- Romans 16: 22. C. S. B.
4) Paul had gone blind: “You did not despise or reject me though my physical condition was a trial for you…. For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me”- Galatians 4: 14-15.
5) Jesus said that the blind cannot pretend to guide other people, as they will all fall into the same pit: “They are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit”- Matthew 15: 14

Finally, nowhere do we find that Moses had written anything that wasn’t the unquestionable word of God. But as for Paul, not everything that he wrote was the reliable word of God.
How do we Know? We know it from the fact that Paul wrote a letter to the Laodiceans; a letter he wrongly considered to be as divinely inspired as that he had addressed to the Galatians (“After this letter has been read at your gathering, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea”- Galatians 4: 16).
Yet, although the Galatian latter was included in the Christian canon [thereby becoming recognized as Divinely inspired], the Laodicean letter wasn’t.

When it comes to organized religion, the Creator says: " it doesn’t matter which side of the mountain you choose to climb, as long as you make it to the top"

Many people are stuck with the idea that Jesus of Nazareth (peace and blessings be with him) is God in the flesh, and that Christianity must therefore be God’s only true religion.
What’s the problem with this otherwise perfect logic? Well, the problem is that, according to the holy Gospels, Jesus had a flesh and bones body both before as well as after his resurrection. And the former means Jesus couldn't be God.
Why? Because Jesus himself is quoted saying God is a spirit (“GOD IS SPIRIT... ”- John 4: 24), and that a spirit has no flesh and bones [like Jesus had after his resurrection]. As is written: “… FOR A SPIRIT HATH NOT FLESH AND BONES, AS YE SEE ME HAVE”- Luke 24: 39.
So, if Jesus words are to be taken at face value, the fact that he always had a body of flesh and bones disqualifies him from being the God he himself described.
And this squares nicely with the Hebrew Scripture, which teaches that God is no man, nor a son of a man (the latter title being one often used by Jesus to describe himself), as is written: “GOD IS NOT A MAN, that he should lie; NEITHER THE SON OF MAN, that he should repent... ”- Numbers 23: 19.
But, if Jesus wasn’t God, who was he? Well, the gospels themselves state that he was a powerful prophet; a man who had heard the truth of his God [the God of the Jews]; As is written: “And the multitude said, THIS IS JESUS THE PROPHET OF NAZARETH OF GALILEE”- Matthew 21: 11; “… And they said unto him, Concerning JESUS OF NAZARETH, WHICH WAS A PROPHET MIGHTY IN DEED AND WORD BEFORE GOD... ”- Luke 24: 19;
and also says on another place- “But now ye seek to kill me, A MAN THAT HATH TOLD YOU THE TRUTH, WHICH I HAVE HEARD OF GOD... ” (John 8: 40); and finally says- “… but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I [JESUS] ASCEND UNTO MY FATHER, AND YOUR FATHER; AND TO MY GOD, AND YOUR GOD” (John 20: 17).
And, what does Jesus understood to be the Hebrew scriptures main message? Salvation by faith in the person of a coming Messiah? Not at all! He understood it to be a plain call to repentance, and to start sowing unto our fellow human beings the same goodness we would wish to reap for ourselves. As is written:
«FROM THAT TIME JESUS BEGAN TO PREACH, AND TO SAY, “REPENT”… I tell you, “Nay: but, EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH”»- Matthew 4: 7 & Luke 13: 3; and also says, “THEREFORE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER YE WOULD THAT MEN SHOULD DO TO YOU, DO YE EVEN SO TO THEM: FOR THIS IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS”- Matthew 7: 12.
And finally says elsewhere- “… BUT IF THOU WILT ENTER INTO LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS… THOU SHALT DO NO MURDER, THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, THOU SHALT NOT STEAL, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER: AND, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF”- Matthew 19: 17-19.
In other words, the gospel states that he is in darkness [without knowing who God really is], the man who doesn’t love his fellow human beings [refusing to obey God’s commandments]; as is written:
“HE THAT SAITH HE IS IN THE LIGHT, AND HATETH HIS BROTHER, IS IN DARKNESS EVEN UNTIL NOW… HE THAT LOVETH NOT KNOWETH NOT GOD; FOR GOD IS LOVE”- 1 John 2: 9 & 4: 8;
“… FOR HE THAT LOVETH ANOTHER HATH FULFILLED THE LAW. FOR THIS, THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, THOU SHALT NOT KILL, THOU SHALT NOT STEAL, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, THOU SHALT NOT COVET; AND IF THERE BE ANY OTHER COMMANDMENT, IT IS BRIEFLY COMPREHENDED IN THIS SAYING, NAMELY, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW”- Romans 13: 8-10;
And also says on another place: “HE THAT SAITH, ‘I KNOW HIM’, AND KEEPETH NOT HIS COMMANDMENTS, IS A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM”- 1 John 2: 4; And finally says, “FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: AND HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS”- 1 John 5: 3.
Curiously, in this regard the gospel tends to agree with the Hebrew scripture, when it hints at the idea that love is greater than faith (“Now these three remain: FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE—BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE”- 1 Corinthians 13: 13, Christian Standard Bible); and that therefore man’s “salvation” isn’t by faith, but rather by acts of love and kindness (toward God and toward our fellow human beings). As is written:
«Many will say to me in that day, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works [thereby showing proof of our faith in you]? ”. And then will I profess unto them, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity”»- Matthew 7: 22-23;
“BE YE THEREFORE MERCIFUL, AS YOUR FATHER ALSO IS MERCIFUL. JUDGE NOT, AND YE SHALL NOT BE JUDGED: CONDEMN NOT, AND YE SHALL NOT BE CONDEMNED: FORGIVE, AND YE SHALL BE FORGIVEN: GIVE, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU… For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again”- Luke 6: 36-38
In short, regardless of Jesus alleged Divinity, God’s message to mankind is that if man repents from his sins and departs from evil [sowing the good that pleases the Creator and blesses his fellow human beings, as outlined by God’s ten commandments], then it makes little difference whether that man follows Islam, Christianity, Judaism, or Samaritanism, as he has thereby earned a share in everlasting life.
As is written: “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A BROKEN AND A CONTRITE HEART, O GOD, THOU WILT NOT DESPISE [DENYING IT FORGIVENESS]”- Psalm 51: 17; “IF MY PEOPLE, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN, and will heal their land”- 2 Chronicles 7: 14;
“He hath shewed thee, O man, WHAT IS GOOD; AND WHAT DOTH THE LORD REQUIRE OF THEE, BUT TO DO JUSTLY, AND TO LOVE MERCY, AND TO WALK HUMBLY WITH THY GOD? ”- Micah 6: 8; “… FEAR GOD, AND KEEP HIS [TEN] COMMANDMENTS: FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN”- Ecclesiastes 12: 13; “DEPART FROM EVIL, AND DO GOOD; AND DWELL FOR EVERMORE [IN LIFE EVERLASTING]”- Psalm 37: 27.
May God’s peace and blessings be upon all who fear and glorify Him, regardless of their race or creed.
