Why can Jesus not simply be a guru or yogi, as Eastern religions define these words?

A guru teaches that God is in everything including within people. Jesus taught that God is a separate entity, separate from humans due to our sins. As Christians, we express our need for God to God.

Jesus was a monotheist who believed we have been separated from God by sin, and required salvation. He did not preach that everyone can unlock the God within themselves and that he was enlightened as such.

Jesus did not teach that God was everything or that man can find God in himself. Instead, Jesus believed in only one God and taught that God is distinct from man. He taught us to pray to and worship God, not some light within ourselves.

Jesus didn’t teach like a guru: theology, prayer, emphasis on history and more and Jesus was monotheist.

Based on the mere fact that Jesus was ressurected proved that He was more than any simple man could be.
