I'm aware of no Christian tradition in which the salvific sacrifice of Christ does not play a central theological role. Just as you can bend the English language only so far before you're no longer "speaking English" the same is true for any religion. One can adopt any system of belief one chooses. But you can no more properly call an arbitrary system of belief 'Christian' than you can call a random collection of utterances 'English'.

The Lineage of Spiritual Masters... >>Adi Da teaches that there is a continuing lineage of living Spiritual Masters from time immemorial to the present. Some religions reflect this. Others suggest that their Teacher is the "one and only of all time". You can take your choice, Bill.>> And the ONE is "the least" so there's really nothing to get upset about comparing, conditionalizing and judging. Whether an individual choses to identify Jesus Christ as "the ONE" or Budda as "the ONE" doesn't really matter ONE grain of sand. For "the ONE" is the least, the servant to ALL. And we are ALL part of this same lineage for we were ALL made in the Divine image of our ONE Father in Heaven. Competing for the right to claim "the ONE" is totally antithetical to spiritual reality. For there's nothing to claim. There's only an unlimited, infinite amount of energy, light and Love to freely receive and share with others. All coming from "the ONE" - the least, the servant to ALL. 119293!!
