What sect of monotheism holds the gospel as the highest revelation but doesn't think Yeshua was divine? Not a saviour. Not the messiah. Just the wisest of all time. Any? Don't tell me I have to start another church...

I'm not a Christian. I can't take Yeshua as a saviour. Only G-d can forgive sins imo. BUT i do think Yesh was (H)is greatest prophet and feel a strong connection with him. Books for this feel?

Bonus questions: how do you pray? What words and physical positions do you put yourself in? When? How often?

I honestly just feel like disregarding all forms of orthodoxy and creating my own belief system. There are things i feel are necessary, such as daily prayer (at fixed times- maybe), charity, fasting, neighbourliness, respecting the personal contract of marriage and refraining from wasting seed (not a serious issue but I think (H)e wanted the sons of Abraham to undergo circumcision for a reason), rememberance (somewhat like mantra recitation), doing good works in G-d's name. I also like the idea of holy days and would like to included them in my life somehow but I dont really know how or why? (For instance something interesting I thought would be doing a fasting period like Ramadan but as a tribute to Yeshua's period in the wilderness- when to do this though? The date doesn't really matter though I guess).

Extra credit question: share some of your favourite verses from bible? Share your thoughts on messianism?

Thanks anons. May our Lord guide and bless us.
