Greetings Brothers & Sisters,
I believe that there is a sense for truth within the human soul and that we can know the truth- not in whole but parts of it.
In Cognitive Christianity - true Gnosis - there is no need for dogma as we search through these ideas. We may use dogma as a resting post and that shouldn't worry anyone.
Anhthroposophists appear to have different ideas on the nature of our Lord.
My old anthroposophical teacher would say "He is the One whose Body consists of the Zodiac."
Max Heindel declared Christ was an Archangel, but I think that was as far as he had read in Rudolf Steiner at the time- without getting the full story.
Look up Rudolf Steiner's The Gospel of John and its Relation the Other Gospels Kassel June 24-July 7 1909
This has much detailed information about the nature of Christ, for example:
"I told you in the first of these lectures that this Christ is the same Being of Whom the Old Testament says:
And the Spirit of God moved (or brooded) upon the face of the waters.
Gen. 1:2
That is, the Christ sunk down into the body of Jesus at the time of the Baptism, entered right down into the bones, into the marrow, and eventually remade that Body.
From the Elder Brothers:
"He is the first and final power - the beginning and the end - the Alpha and the Omega .... indwelling in Man.

Jesus Christ:"

From the Elder Brothers:
"If you accept Christ as the first and final authority ?. the One who was not only at the beginning of all primary manifestation, but also the One to which such Creation was the Author, then you may find something of
this origin within yourself.
"He is the first and final power - the beginning and the end - the Alpha and the Omega .... indwelling in Man.
"Find Him here. His Passion Lives in the Present. His Duty and His Pain do also. His Story is verily in the living moment. His Blood is red, and not black. His Breath is sweet, and not fetid. His countenance cannot be contained. Find Him here.""Why look to another time and place? For, in the way that you are telling of Him, he is none of these characters, which rightfully present within their own self-conscious identity. And, the mystery of it is that He is more of you than of deity 1 or deity 2 as you would have it.
