Did Jesus want to create a poli-theism religion?

[Jehanne]

Growing-up in my fundamentalist evangelical Christian church I remember being completely bewildered by Mark 3:21-22. As I read the Gospels "vertically" (Mathew to John), I would learn decades later that the authors of Mathew & Luke, when they plagiarized Mark's account, both ditched 3:21-22. That passage did not at all jive with the picture of Jesus that both authors wished to paint.
