Was Jesus a deontologist or teleologist?

This is a difficult question to answer.  I feel that Jesus leaned toward being a deontologist.  Someone of this consciousness, whom I would call an avatar, is simply beyond labels and rules.  I believe they are so unified with Spirit that they act like a puppet, speaking, thinking, and acting almost entirely from their higher self.  In this respect, they speak the thoughts and perform the actions which are in highest accord with the people and times in which they incarnate.  They society in which the soul we call Jesus Christ incarnated was in need of greater clarity and rules.  As a soul, I believe he is probably both, or neither, but I believe that in the role of Jesus Christ, that soul laid down some clear rules.

He chaised money changers from the temple which could be seen as deontological.  However, he also allowed the disciples to pick some food from a field (corn I believe) and eat it on the Sabbath, saying "The Sabbath is for man, not man for the Sabbath."  In this respect, Jesus was teleological.  His Serman on the Mount outlined many principles which could be viewed deontological.  In some ways Jesus was seeking to clarify the rules of his day which had become so convoluted due to the fact that the Pharisees were deontological to an extreme.  When asked what the most important commandent was, he replied, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself."  Overall I believe Jesus was deontological, but his style was more pristine and clear than that of the Pharisees. 

In addition to rules, he also taught principles such as humility by washing his disciples feet, and making comments about the kingdom of heaven such as, "He who is least shall be first," and in order to enter into the kingdom, we must become like children.  He also emphasized humility when he instructed that one should go into their room and shut the door and pray in secret, not in public to receive attention. 

Although as a soul I believe Jesus was probably both deontological and teleological, and could be either depending on what was needed in any occasion, but during the incarnation as Jesus Christ, I believe he was acting from a place where deontological teachings were of greater service to the people of those times.
