A Jewish man named Jesus of Nazareth existed in the Herodian Kingdom of Judea and the subsequent Herodian tetrarchy in the 1st century AD, upon whose life and teachings Christianity was later constructed

>Christianity was later constructed
Much probably against his will, since what he really wanted was to show people that everyone is Christ and that everyone can realize it by following his example.

*Galilean
Jesus did not have much to do with jewry. He mostly criticized the pharisees for being hypocrites and liars. modern jews claim descent from those same pharisees who were probably already mixed if they were Judahtes/Levites/Benjamites at all.
>inb4 out of context mistranslated Gospel quote
IVDAEAN =/= jew
It would be like calling some random Mexican tribe Roman descendants if one fine day they all decided to start speaking Classical Latin

I don't believe in the mystical aspects of the bible, but it's pretty obvious that Christ existed.

I think that's actually a more important point to make: Jesus was a Galilean. Galilee had been subject to migrations from other parts of the Middle East for centuries. Unlike Samaria or Judea, Galilee was a part of Canaan but not really tied to Yahwism. When Jesus was born it had only been a century since the Hasmoneans had conquered the region and forcefully converted everyone to Judaism, same as they did with the Ituraeans and Idumeans. If it is true that he was born up in some small village in Nazareth and not Bethlehem, it is likely that he was not an ethnic Jew at all, but instead the descendant of Canaanite converts to Judaism. He never had any real connections to the Jerusalem cult or the Jewish mindset and only understood it through the lens of a subaltern population who learned about the religion through the scriptures. That's why he was probably so fervently devoted to it.

And yet had no documented theological or otherwise religious issues with them. He even tells his followers "do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice." Almost like he was one of them, but just against their hypocrisy.

Yes. Jesus was historical and God.

>was
Oh, so he's dead, must be why he has been quiet for 2k years.
That explains it, thank you

All Christ wants is for you to obey his teachings. To be righteous, humble and meek and do good to others.

>>17856176 (OP)
Probably. We'll enever actually what the guy actually taught, though. If he even taught anything.
I'd go as far as to say the Catholic church of Constantines time was probably rather distant to whatever he actually taught. And so were all the other churches around that time.

If I recall correctly Giordano Bruno also believed this. So you know, not a unique thought.

Hebrews didn’t invent civilization. They *rescued* it from itself

>>17859295
Kill yourself idiot. The Jews were invaders in Egypt. It's cool that you think torture killing Christ "to stop philosopher kings" is theologically important and moral, but cultural advancement doesn't work like that. Every step of the process was needed to create the next.
