If he ever existed, I figure he was probably a lot like David Koresh.
Even as portrayed in the Bible, he's not as nice as people make him out to be. |

A Humourist. Certainly topical at the time. I think he used to make the audience laugh to the annoyance of his enemies. "Feeding Pearl to swine If a man asked you for an egg would you give him a scorpion. Give unto caeser...... a witty answer in those times. Anyway he could certainly make a a couple of loaves and a few fish last I am sure Christ studied in India but that is contentious. |

I believe that "Jesus" was either entirely a Divine Revelation (i.e. a myth with no historical person behind "him") or an amalgam of many of the Messiah pretenders at the time in Palestine about whom we can know nothing other than that they probably weren't much like the NT Jesus.

A rebel without a cause. If he ever existed.

Considering that he condone and promoted infinte punishments for fine crimes, it is taotlly logical to conclude (for me at least) that he was infinitely immoral. The conditions for eternal reward were not very demanding really.
