How many Jesuses
How many distinct and different Jesuses do you count in the N.T.?
It isn't difficult to find 4. The Jesus who comes to bring peace, the Jesus who comes to bring not peace but a sword, the Jesus who comes to preserve the scriptures and the Jesus who brings a new covenent. The Admiral |

There might be two more. The Jesus with the lineage listed in Matthew and the Jesus with the lineage listed in Luke.

On the most basic level there are only 3. One who wished to reform his religion, one who wished to preserve it, and one who wished to create a religion of his own.
