He was almost certainly a Jew who in his mind wholly embraced Judism, and seeking answers from what seemed to him to have been the framework of Judism.


ummm, shows how affected you are by propaganda...
Jesus was very literate and learned more than any of the spiritual leaders....

Then he was a malfunctioning prototype model.
At least when the terminator says that it will be back, it does so in a timely manner.


Skynet: 1, Jesus: 0

But he does say "Come with me if you want to live"

And how about "What is best in life: Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!" Definitely sounds like something you might find in the OT.

Other relevant questions one might ask about Jesus:

What if Jesus was a llama?
What if Jesus was an alien?
What if Jesus was a rodeo clown?
What if Jesus was a Terminator?
What if Jesus was a submarine captain?
What if Jesus was a student driver instructor?
What if Jesus was leaping tall pyramids in a single bound?
etc.

Jesus being an alien = Prometheus = epic movie!

Too good a movie to star such a bad ham actor as Jesus.
