Yes,Jesus was making waves,and enemies.To me a healer,who's reputation,went to his head.A man,lauded by the ignorant common people.He was starting a revolt against ROMES' treatment,and the grip of the Pharases,on the people.Yeah,he was like a hippie marching on Washington,peace man,..peace brother.Only the World was small,he stood out.The scribes,Pharases(holy men,bosses),went to the police,Roman Ruler said shut this guy up.You do it,says he,he ain't bothering me.(Rome).So the sneaks set him up.He is tried,found guilty,killed.....His friends,thanks to a friendly Roman guard,wisk him away to a tomb.To revive him,and split,he is hot.They say 'he rose from the dead,(death in those days had many levels,a nap was death etc.) and went up to heaven' .To take them off his trail.He leaves what would become his army against Rome.They now have an invisable leader that you can't kill,Why? cause he's dead already.A movement against the ruling bodies starts,leaders pop up with their own agendas .And we'er off.A POWER to use the people the vote starts.They have been manipulated ever since,and kept uneducated,a mob.Meanwhile why man does all this,A universe is going on that he is a part of,BUT he is to busy to take notice of that.He must go to war.   See 15 other replies

I believe from the point of view of the Romans and Jewish priest that Jesus was a criminal. I am not saying he was. What he was preaching was radical for the day because it challenged the social order of both. To the Romans his ascertain that there was a higher kingdom than Rome along with his anti wealth views ran counter to the empires core authority. It fostered rebellion, which the Romans could hardly ignore. To the priest, he invalidated their privilege positions by saying they had lost their way in the accumulation of wealth. The scene in the temple were Jesus kicks out the merchants and money changers. Logic would dictate the priest had some hand in it. So yes it served their ends to get rid of him by branding him as a criminal. By letting the Romans do the deed they would keep their hands clean. Look at it this way, if they hadn't claimed he was criminal, then there wouldn't have been the passion. Yes?   See 15 other replies

mr original poster,
Pretty sure that when the historians are talking, and maybe they say something like 'jesus was a criminal who deserved to be killed', it is very highly likely, nay certain, that they are making said statement from the point of view of the historical parties involved. They are not saying, 'I, personally, think jesus is a criminal'. If the silly pbs history program got over your head like that you should rethink your entire existence as most everything you think and believe is probably rtarded.All who replied,
you are just as dumb. This guy did not need someone to argue with him about religion and feminism and fancy 'strawmanadhomenitnsmd' bs. He just didn't get the concept of people commenting on historical events from a perspective outside their own. That or he missed a couple minutes and was thinking about how much he hated women before he watched the show and let it all out at the first opportunity.   See 15 other replies

Mick I like your comment about history being bias and to take nothing as fact. How can we as individuals understand our beliefs if we close our minds to others beliefs. I feel that to broaden our minds as much as possible we half to accept all versions of history, cross reference what we believe is true and not true and create our own history to our own likings and beliefs. For those that are focused on CNN or FOX or even the bible without the willingness to be free and experience other possible explications are stuck in a very narrow minded and small universe. So with this I am ok with not having a time machine, i find the mystery fuels the desire for me to seek out my own answers and truths.   See 15 other replies
