6. Do all Christians ignore Jesus?

(The following may be read as metaphor or parable rather than scriptural treatise)

Red letter bible believers know that the entire teaching can be reduced to the few words of Jesus actually quoted.

And, from my point of view, it takes a Vedic point of view to understand Jesus' point of view.

When Jesus says render onto Caesar, render onto God, we need to understand that Jesus was pointing out the different realms of the Absolute and of the transient (transactional) and never shall the twain meet. One never saves one's own soul by shouting down (or worse) other souls.

Corona virus and masks exist in the transactional world where God's own creation and plans are playing out, or not.
Science and wisdom are gifts of the Divine. Why do some Christians deny the Divine?
