A teacher written about in scripture. I don't know jesus "like that" to see him as anyone other than what people wrote about him.

I think the verb tense you presented implies you are looking for a very specific response. So here goes...
I think Jesus is a sagely, likely enlightened being whose body and mind died 1,982 years ago...give or take, who no longer self-identifies as Jesus.

I think the Jesus you mean was something of an anarchist, possibly even a terrorist fighting Roman occupation ans was crucified for his crimes. When the bible was compiled the life of john the baptiser was merged with that of a strident opponent of Rome to make the jesus you all know ans love.
Before anyone asks, i have no hard evidence for this, only knowledge of Roman tactics at the time and various snippets i have read.

The Roman tactics of the time was to execute the leaders of opposition groups to Roman rule. If they were violent opposition groups, they would crucify both the leader and the followers. If they were non-violent groups, they would only execute the leaders and let the flocks go where there would likely just fade away without their leaders.
Jesus alone was crucified, and not his followers. Therefore, Jesus and his followers were not terrorists. Neither was John the Baptist. They alone were targeted, which makes them part of the nonviolent resisters to Roman occupation.

So too lazy to have your own opinion?

So just too lazy to be bothered to respond to an OP as asked, then.
I typically just scroll past posts by people that are too lazy to respond to posts in their own words have find in necessary to reply with scripture or links. Are you one of those people I shouldn't be bothered to read?

Jesus opposed Roman rule, he opposed the polytheism of Rome, he opposed the god status of the emperor.
So your hard evidence of nonviolent resistance is what? Or like me, its belief based of the factors you choose to accept!
