1051. Jesus favors proactive help, justice, fairness and tolerance.

1051c. Jesus believed we could do what he did.

1051d. Jesus did not respect property over human rights.

1051e. Jesus was about turning this world around, not making us other-worldly.

1051f. Jesus was executed for doing things priests claimed were divine functions.

1051g. The church turned Jesus into a messiah and thus avoided the responsibility he tried to engender in all.
