According to what i read about Kabbalah, Kabbalah considers Jesus a Kabbalist, if so, how would Kabbalah interpret Jesus’s words?
John 14:6: Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
p.s. I’m a Catholic learning about Kabbalah…

Kabbalism should be suspect for drawing attention to ones own "spirituality" rather than drawing attention to and glorifying Jesus Christ (God Almighty). As Isaiah 64:6 declares, "all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags." Kabbalist mysticism is the basis for Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, the Illuminati, Knights Templar, and many other occult organizations. Their holy book is the Zohar. "Spell oils and incense blends produced according to Kabbalah" is the advertisement on t a witchcraft website. The Bible is quick and powerful enough (Hebrews 4:12), without the need to resort to extra-Biblical religiosity, occult practices, or Satanism. Jesus clearly said that He was the ONLY Way to the Father (John 14:6). Kabbalah is wishy-washy and fails to present a Biblical plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. Kabbalah is of the devil. I dare anyone to show me a clear Gospel presentation from the Kaballah. Again, the FACT that Satanic occult groups base their damnable religions upon the Kabbalah speaks volumes. The "mysticism" of the Kaballah is demonism.

To quote John is a total mis-conception of why Kabbalist consider Jesus to be one. The NT loses a lot as translated. You should also read the Gospel of Philip to fully understand,

Kabbalah says absolutely nothing about Jesus. he does not feature in it in any manner whatsoever, anybody claiming otherwise is lying and tying to sell you something…
So Kabbalah does nto interpret Jesus’ words since the Kabbalah is a commenatary on the TORAH (Five books of Moses) and has absolutely nothing to say about Jesus or any of the Christian scriptures
edit: Ignore what zsolt posts- he is just trying to gt people to join the Kabbalah cult run by Michael laitman whois a Russian academic and NOT a Rabbi (though he dishoenstly uses the title) Follow his links if you want tosee the rubbish the cults teach about Kabbalah- but if you are wise you will stay far away from it!

You may be a Catholic, but you’ve learned *nothing* about Kabbalah!

what you’re learning is not kabala. it’s either new-agey muckety muck or some kind of christian adaptation.
kabala is literally the mystical study of the torah, and so it says nothing about jesus, who has nothing to do with the torah. real kabala requires a deep understanding of judaism before you can even begin delving into the mystical aspects. in judaism, there is no intermediary before god, and the quote from john is a misinterpretation of krishna’s description of himself in the bhagavad gita. it was never part of judaism, and could never be part of judaism; therefore, it has nothing to do with kabala.

First we need to consider some facts:
- Kabbalah has nothing to do with religions, not even with Judaism. Kabbalah is simply a method to reveal for us the whole of reality, our own nature, and how we can stabilize the harmony within reality by adjusting ourselves. This method gives us the tools, with which we can perform this action in a scientific fashion, achieving our purpose and elevating ourselves to a perfect and eternal existence within this physical lifetime, here and now.
- Even the holy books of Judaism do not talk about actual characters, events, history or geography, all the names, actions, depictions within the Torah and other writings talk about spiritual desires, qualities which all can be found inside us. When we read those writings we need to find what the text is talking abut inside ourselves, like for example Egypt and the Pharaoh represents our own egoistic nature we would like to run away from, and Moses is the altruistic quality, the spark of our soul that can lead us to freedom with the help of the Creator.
- Some of the other answers already indicated that all the authentic Kabbalistic writings, including the Torah, the Zohar and the writings of the Ari and later prominent Kabbalist only talk about the revelations of "Moses", and do not consider anything beyond that, so Jesus is not playing part in the Kabbalistic method or teaching, especially as Kabbalah does not concern itself with individuals, physical characters, only with the single common soul of Adam, to which we have to return.
- Kabbalah is not exclusive for jews, but it is open to everyone, at any age, any sex, from any country or tradition, as this method serves the correction, and unification of the whole of Humanity. It is completely open and free.
All this does not mean you have to abandon anything you have been doing, or you have studied. Religions and Kabbalah move in completely different dimensions, they simply have no connection.
Moreover Jesus (as far as I know) was also very found of the famous Kabbalistic teaching of "Love you neighbor as yourself" as this is the single most important rule of the Torah, by which we have to live by.
I am sorry for the long reply, I hope you find it helpful together with the links below.
All the best.
