yes. da. he got baptized. but he had very different ideas from what current American christians are claiming. For one he had no connection to the US constitution or the republicans. Second he provided healthcare for everyone especially the poor. He was pro redistribution. He was against capital punishment (at least by other men).

He was not in favor of gay marriage or abortion or legalization of marijuana.

Yes, he provided healthcare, but he didn't heal all, only those with faith. Further, he didn't ask citizens to pay higher taxes to allow the Romans or the Jews to provide said health care he did it himself thru personal charity.

" he did it himself thru personal charity."

he was pro tax too (or pro government) :
"Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's"Posted 10 months ago # -

Yes but he said : don't judge lest you be judged!
So I guess it is not our task to judge gays and people who have an abortion.
He did not talk about abortion for sure.Posted 10 months ago # -
OP: I think the real question here is, are you an as-shole?

Was Jesus a Christian? Isn't that question essentially asking whether Jesus believed he was God and the only path to salvation? The first 3 gospels are kind of unclear about that. If anything, he actually seems to see himself as God in the sense that we all are God. The Gospel of John more clearly identifies Jesus as God, but then, that gospel was written 30 to 40 years after the other 3. So it probably suffers from some serious embellishing.

Give the guy a break. It is no fun to have your birthday on Christmas Day. All those " hey we got you a combination gift" deals, etc.

At least the precise date of the anniversary of his death varies each year, in conjunction with the church calendar, the lunar cycle, and the timing of the NCAa men's basketball playoffs (and the ISA conference)

Unless I am much mistaken, I believe that Jesus Christ is a Superstar.

To the guy who said Jesus was anti-drugs, have you even LOOKED at depictions of Jesus? The guy looks like every pothead I have ever seen. We only think he was anti-drugs because folks excised instances of "duuuude" from the bible.

It takes to read just a couple of serious books to know that Jesus was NOT the founder of Christianity but the consequence of Christianity.
