the gospels of mark and luke show that jesus taught he was not divine.
mark 10.17-18 "17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good,except God alone."-- jesus is separating himself from the divine.
instead of saying yes i am good because I am the same one, JESUS SEPARATES HIMSELF according to these gospels, and even denies his divinity. In contrast to john where Jesus teaches "I and the father are one" claiming divinity, this indicates that the compilation was "universal" meaning containing both groups opposing texts.
fascinating is jesus' response in that story in mark and luke and matthew in which he does not say "do all commandments" to get eternal life- but the opposite! when asked what to DO- he says NOT to kill etc. this indicates that actions in the prophecies from moses are not what earns life- doing them cannot earn the inheritance of life. from the commands- what is important to add to faith is NOT doing the bad. he does not say do "all ten" of commandments, nor "all commandments of the prophecies of moses" nor "do not eat blood"as acts decreed.
additionaly this story is in the context of "which" and does not say obey sabbath nor circumcise nor the ten nor even mention the books of moses.
some claim mark was written for gentiles so no proof unless matthew written for jews agress and this story- without the denial of divinity is in matthew 19- WHICH- and a list not all nor even all ten nor even circumcision- hence jesus fulfilled the prophecy of jeremiah that the new covenant is INTERNAL and not with physical actions. instead NOT acting bad with the faith.
does this literally mean that if give everything deserves life? jesus often talked in parables and hints so this teaching is not a way to "earn" eternal life but instead indicates the IMPOSSIBILITY of earning with actions- and teaches especially in the context of "not kill steal lie" actions even if he would give all- still do not suffice for one must have faith and this message like others are parable not literal- [as some supporters of communism claim based on this text] because jesus often speaks in hints and parables to teach the lessons.
