Jesus gets a pass?

[King Phenomenon]

Why are there so many people that believe in Jesus? Shouldn’t everybody recognize him as having the mental illness called the messiah complex? Strange…..

I’m certain I’m missing something.

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

I don't give him a free pass.

For me as a muslim, Jesus is a prophet (no offence to christians who see Jesus as Gods son)
Jesus as a prophet was when on earth one of the best spiritual teachers to ever live. And no of course he was not mentally ill and only thought he was messiah.
To the Christians Jesus is the Messiah

 

[sun rise]

Jesus as an incarnation of the eternal Avatar, took a physical body to lead all ever onward.

 

[Rival]

Jesus has no free pass from me. I've never understood why so many folks love him. I find many Tanakh figures much more compelling.

 

[ChristineM]

I see Jesus as a terrorist and I don't give free passes to terrorists

 

[fantome profane]

All we have are a bunch of stories written down about this guy by people who never met him based on gossip. So I am not going to condemn (nor praise) him based on this.

One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. I don't even know why I said that.

If people rise from the dead ,then i listen.

I think we've considered this probability and immediately dismissed it ,given the narrative .

Can you imagine someone acting self important today saying everything comes through him?

The control is government. Rome gave him a traitors/terrorists death i can only assume the government of the day agreed with me

On this, we can agree.

The Roman occupation of Israel was despotic. I would respect anyone* who fought against that.



*(I am not offering an opinion as whether or not the historical Jesus did fight the Roman occupation or to what degree.)

Probably true, Rome ruled with an bronze eagle but it was the official government.

Well, at least they gave them aqueducts.

Well

Jesus didn't write anything, so we don't know what exactly he said and didn't say, so whether or not he might have suffered from it is unknown. But clearly those that wrote about him, thought he was very special.

Some of those who wrote about him thought he was very special.

Ok, maybe most, at least out of the writings that have survived, thought he was special. But not all. And who knows how many writings did not survive.

(and of course those who didn’t think he was special were less inclined to write about him.)

I don’t think it matters if he wrote anything because what mattered was what the churches wanted to say about him.
