Curiously, the depictions of jesus as any sort of "king" do not begin until after the cult had attained a measure of acceptance from the Empire in the 4th century.

Despite being the oldest and largest christian denomination, the catholics don't quite seem to remember the parts where Jesus said to give away all your belongings, because it's nigh impossible for a rich man to get into heaven.
