Charliss:
I just wanted to correct one point you made about Jesus. You said:
"Originally of course, Jesus did not show any interest in establishing a church or a religion."
However, Jesus said:
Matt 16:18 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
Jesus also commanded his followers to spread the Gospel:
Matt 28:18-20 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.""
