In another thread here the question was asked, "Did Jesus preach with intent to start a new religion?" which I found a reasonable question. But carrying this thought a little further, was this god's intent when he put Jesus on earth: to start a new religion?
I ask because of Christianity's limited impact on the world's population. It took hundreds of years before it spread from it's birth place, the eastern Mediterranean, and then only made an impact on relatively few people. Currently it is only accepted by 32% of the world's population, which, in my opinion, denotes a less than a successful operation. Point being, because of Christianity's limited success, did god have some other plan in mind when he put Jesus here?
