Opinion: Dev Community Post Claims Jesus Taught Human Divinity, Institutions Suppressed It
A writer on DEV Community has published a personal essay arguing that Jesus taught humans are divine in nature, a message the author believes institutional Christianity has long suppressed. Drawing on a self-directed reading of the Bible, the author contends that the Gospel of John and other texts support the idea that humans share in the same creative principle described as the Word. The author, who grew up Muslim and later identified as agnostic, says the gap between what scripture states and what religious authorities teach is deliberate rather than accidental. They argue that affirming universal human divinity would undermine institutional power by removing any monopoly over access to God. The piece is framed as personal reflection and the author explicitly notes they are not a theologian.
