Ron Hubbard described Scientology as "the Western Anglicized continuance of many earlier forms of wisdom", and cites the teachings of Jesus Christ among belief systems of those "earlier forms".

Nobody but the individual could die for his own sins -- to arrange things otherwise was to keep man in chains."

Hubbard states in Volunteer Minister’s Handbook: "Man is basically good but he could not attain expression of this until now. Nobody but the individual could die for his own sins -- to arrange things otherwise was to keep man in chains." In Scientology, Jesus is classified as below the level of Operating Thetan, and a "shade above" the condition of "Clear".
