Was Jesus the first to bring in 4th Density vibrations?

[jivatman]

I'd like to address the original question: was Jesus the first one to bring fourth density vibrations?

No, But he was certainly one of the most the most eloquent proponent of love and especially, of Service-to-others, up to that time.. Remember, when asked about the most important commandment, he said:

'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these. "

The Synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) are very positive if you use discretion.

John differs from the others in the extreme. The most serious distortion it introduces is the concept that Jesus is god.

"Do you know when Mahayana began that teaching? Also, anyone with knowledge of the Hindu Gods and Semigods and how they may/may not fit into things, I am a willing student!"

The Bhagavada Gita was composed around 200BC-200CE and introduces the concept of Yoga, via Karma Yoga (right action), Jnana Yoga (Wisdom), Bhakti Yoga (Love). One is allowed to choose those which suits their temperament.

Bhakti is about love and devotion to god.

By that time, Hindus would principally worshiped either Vishnu, Shiva, or Devi monotheisticly in that they recognized them as containing all other gods. The more educated understood this as Isvara, that is, used as a representation for the unity of god, which cannot be represented at all.

Later, Adi Sankara would explain this the most eloquently with Advaita Vedanta which is now the dominant Hindu theological thought.

Now, I sometimes think that Jesus taught the strongest and most coherent concept of service-to-others, somewhat more than Indian Religions.

However there is of course the negative and exclusivist element that John introduced to Christianity, where it is claimed that Jesus is a god, the one and only god, preaching the only legitimate religion.

That exclusivity has never existed in the Indian religions, Jainism, Hinduism, Buddhism, which have coexisted peacefully for more than a thousand years because they recognize that they are all paths to god.
