Let me begin by asking this question: Did Jesus of Nazareth hold a philosophy compatible to Lao Tzu’s Taoism? The foundation question that must be asked before asking if Jesus lived by a “Taoist” philosophy, is to ask if Jesus was a “Christian” in belief and practice. This question probably evokes laughter from some, and others would exclaim with contempt, “Of course he was! The Christian Religion is founded on Jesus and his teachings!” I beg to adamantly differ with you. Read the rest
So was Jesus a Taoist? Well, I might say his teachings are more resonant with what we know of Taoism than they are of what has become of religious Christianity.
