Who was Jesus (was What is God)

[Guest guest]

I find it hard to believe that the Bible was totally accurate, as

nothing was written about Jesus until at least 70 years after his

death. Whoever wrote it, would have either not have known him, or if

he did know him, was very old.

Jesus was a great Soul, but also a human being. I dont believe God

is a person. God is Love, and seeing God as a man is just a

personification of the Love.

Jesus seemed to want to make changes to Judaism of the time, and as

always, the Jews would never kill their own, no matter what he said

he was. They probably saw him as a bit deluded.

Jesus' greatest message was when the woman tried to hold on to his

robe, thinking that if she touched him, she would be healed. And

Jesus said " It is thy faith that makes thee whole " .

spent several years studying the historical Jesus (desperately

another story <g>).

changers to make a point. He had Sicari, or Zealots in his entourage

(Judas Iscariot, properly translated Judas the Sicari). These men

were a politically-motivated group of assassins, in modern

definition, the " terrorists " of their day. He was laying claim to an

earthly kingdom, the Throne of David, and it was the Romans who

killed him for sedition - not the Jews, who legally could have

killed him by stoning, if the crime he was accused of was indeed

blasphemy. So where do we get the idea that he was some kind of

peace, love and brotherhood guy laying claim to some kind of

metaphysical kingship? That's what I am trying to understand.
