1) He did not EVER ONCE suggest he was your SAVIOR.
2) He represented the Christ Path of Truth and Godness--he NEVER CLAIMED TO BE GOD. IN FACT AT HIS
TRIAL WHEN ASKED IF HE WAS GOD HE SAID, THEY say as much."
From the Bible New Testament, John 10:22-38:TRIAL WHEN ASKED IF HE WAS GOD HE SAID, THEY say as much."
Quote
Then came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was in the temple area walking in Solomons Colonnade. The Jews gathered around him, saying, How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.
Jesus answered, I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Fathers name speak for me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Fathers hand. I and the Father are one.
Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?
We are not stoning you for any of these, replied the Jews, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, I have said you are gods? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God cameand the Scripture cannot be brokenwhat about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, I am Gods Son? Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.

3) The New Commandment says "follow my example", "love others as I have loved you"; there is no Commandment to believe in a savior. It is sufficient to follow the Commandment he gave; is this not what is meant by "take up your cross"?
The trouble with you is, you would like to do the command. You are trying to do the command. But you can't love. If you had any love, you would teach people how to be saved the only way that they CAN be saved... through the salvation done by Jesus of the Bible.
