However Nietzsche did not demur of Jesus, saying he was the "only one true Christian". He presented a Christ whose own inner life consisted of "blessedness in peace, in gentleness, in the inability for enmity". There is much criticism by Nietzsche of the organized institution of Christianity and its class of priests. Christ's evangelism consisted of the good news that the kingdom of God is within you.[36] "What are the 'glad tidings'? True life, eternal life is found—it is not promised, it is here, it is within you: as life lived in love.... 'Sin', every kind of distancing relationship between God and man, is abolished - precisely this is the 'glad tidings'. The 'glad tidings' are precisely that there are no more opposites...."

You are welcome
It’s subject matter I’m interested in but have researched only rudimentarily in my life
Mostly as a teen on my own
I didn’t take any philosophy classes in college
The closest thing was a world religions class
Interesting subject
It’s one of those subject that the people discussing it often turn into a battle of “ oh but I’m far better read than you”. Nonsense
Which is antithetical to the whole idea of understanding man kind and the world
I’ll keep following your threads and posts on the subject and learn more
Please don’t mistake it for me stalking you

Ha! Don't worry, you do not even remotely seem like the staking type.
I remember that you are one of the few posters who actually ever read Solzhenitsyn, so I recognize a deep well of intellectual curiosity in you.
Nietzsche's rejection of any higher reality or spiritual truth must have been pretty shocking at the time, but I am beginning to see why many have found Nietzsche worth considering - there is a lot to be said for the premise of making one's life a creative work of art, rather than investing energy in a socially/religiously constructed and conformist approach which dominated the 19th century.

Nietzsche was a wise man although I only agree with the bolded parts. The two unbolded lack some caveats and amplifications.
I don't see where any of the numbered items say or imply "God is Dead". He obviously has issues with religious dogma, but that's not the same thing.
