If Jesus had to do National Service would it be in the Roman Legions,or the Judean army?

As a subject nation, Judea was not allowed to have their own army.  It wouild be the Roman legion or nothing.  Most likely nothing. As a rabbi he would seek a religious exemption.

Regardless of whether Jesus was a real guy, I think that the meme we see today was started by Peter and Paul.  It seems unlikely that Jesus could have come up with all of that stuff about eternal salvation on his own.

Liberalism and Conservatism did not exist in the time of Jesus in the way they do now. Jesus was a Jew and there were a number of ways that Jewish people organized themselves; in other words, there were a number of ways to express yourself politically in Jesus' time.\n\nOne option was the Essene option. The Essene's were political sectarian's who withdrew themselves from 'public' society and formed their own communities away from other people. Some people consider this group the 'apolitical' option, but that isn't correct... they are political insofar as they organize society, which they do; they just happen to organize society differently.\n\nAnother option is the Saducees. These were a group of ruling Jewish elite who worked together with the Roman authority and the Herod dynasty. They maintained the status quo and were offended at Jesus' teachings and movement because it threated the socio-political calmness that they were interested in upholding.\n\nAnother common option in Jesus' time was the Zealot option. Zealots were a group of 'zealous' Jews who awaited the coming of the Messiah/liberator who would free the Jews from Roman rule. The Macabees are an example of this movement. Numerous Zealout would-be Messiah's attempted to reclaim Jerusalem and fight against the Romans, none being significantly successful.\n\nThese were some of the political options that were open to Jews at Jesus' time. Becoming directly involved in Roman politics was not an option for Jewish people, except indirectly through the Sadducean 'sell-out' option. Scholars disagree on which of these political options was preferred by Jesus or the early church, although most would agree that the Saducean and the Essene option are furthest from the virtues and practices that Jesus espoused.\n\nMy favorite theologian, John H. Yoder, suggests that Jesus did not fully accept any of the above-mentioned options, instead offered another perspective: the kingdom of God as a political option. Yoder's case is far too complex to state here, but if you wish to get a bigger picture on Jesus and his political options, I recommend reading John Yoder's "The Politics of Jesus"

Drink- honey water or wine. \n\nEat- bread, meats, fruits.\n\nJewish People - generally were treated poorly, but not sure if was of their own personal belief, if they were following orders or a mixture of both.  I tend to think it was the last option, a mixture of both.\n\nRoman soldiers were generally very loyal to the Roman Empire and found pride in serving the Ceasar.  However, I am sure just like any soldier they would have preferred to be in their home land, be with their families and friends vs. policing the Jewish communities/cities.\n\nAs far as what they wore, do a google or yahoo search.  You will find lots of information on their attire and probably find a good sketch or two.

Nero executed Christians, and bankrupted the Roman Empire. I really don't think he would think much of our nation\n\nTrue but the best Nero would be able to do about it in our nation is go to Hollywood and maybe be an extra in a B rated movie, so I doubt he would be proud or happy.

First of all, why did you ask this question in Politics and Government? Is Jesus a politician? Anyway, Jesus is an image of his Father. He was the "Son of Man", and the "Prince of Peace". I don't think women become princes. Don't you?

Gigs... it depends on your denomination and where you are at any given time.  I was in Karbala and the big unit there was the Mississippi National Guard.  They brought with them a Southern Baptist Chaplain and all of our services were Protestant and we had services and bible study a few times per week.  I went to another camp an it was run by the Polish, so their Chaplain was Catholic... that meant lots of Mass and not nearly as much for the Protestant.  Usually if there is not a Chaplain of your particular faith, there will be lay lead services and for some things... like High Holy Days for Jewish personell, they will be taken where a Rabbi is stationed.

Well, I guess it would all depend.\n\nIslam was founded after Christianity, so that religion actually has a firm, somewhat uniform stance on Jesus. He is honored as a prophet.\n\nChristianity is younger than Judaism and could be considered almost a kind of Jewish heresy because it is, in part, based on Jewish scripture and claims to be the plan of the Jewish G-d for the salvation of the world through the prophesied Messiah. \n\nMany horrible things have been done to Jews in the name of Christ, so a really negative opinion of him is not uncommon and is certainly understandable. There are Jews who see Jesus as a good man and teacher whose followers made false claims about after his death. There are Jews who believe anything in between those two extremes or even that there never was such a person.\n\nSo I guess between the two, Judaism could be thought to be more insulting, but that is only on a purely theoretical basis. In reality, views vary wildly. Actions even more so.

IF Jesus was married, he would have only had one wife.  He was supposed to be Jewish, not Mormon.

Jesus was from what can be seen historicaly as a real guy born about 2000 years ago. He did not have supernatural powers and I think that people gave him supernatural powers to exagerate the fact that for his day he was a great man. Back then the ancient people were devoid of things like mercy and compassion and Jesus tried to teach it to people. However he was also a thorn in the side of the romans so they had him killed. Jesus used the symbol of the hebrew creator God yahweh as a mascot for himself and his early order to gain acceptance and he is said to have believed he had some kind of "special connection" with yahweh. This is similar to the ancient pharoa mentality of believing themselfs as Horus the "God King". However I sometimes feel that by assigning special powers to jesus (like they did with hercules or that lumberjack guy portraid with the blue ox) they are desecrating his memory. While he did work hard to start a order of apostles and bring some compassion to the world at first he succeeded but a couple hundred years after he died his efforts ultimately proved fruitless, creating the dark ages, the inquisition and current christianity that keeps people believing in something that jesus may have found revolting. However christians today really only honor the memory of christ today when they set up food banks and help people without asking for anything, pray for the health of others and try their best to be good people. The problem is their are alot of disgusting and self righteous christian organizations (such as the jehovas witnesses and the united pentecostal church) that operate on a "we will only help those who convert mentality. Such groups are intellectual terrorists and nothing more than glorified apocalypse cults. I think Jesus would be very dissapointed with these people if he was alive today. No, he was not a knuckle dragger or a monkey, he was just a guy who tried to do what was right and got killed for it. Just like so many others.

The Latin answers above are correct, but the normal English translation is "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews".\n\nThere's a good story behind this. He was accused by the Jewish religious authorities of claiming to be king of the Jews. Pontius Pilate, who had come to respect him while questioning him at his trial, had the inscription put on top of his cross. The Jews complained, saying he only called himself this. Pilatereplied "What I have written, I have written".

I haven't heard of anything like this. There seems to have been little contemporary references to Jesus in Roman sources so such a letter would be priceless. \n\nHowever, Dennis Lemon of Gay News was convicted of blasphemy in 1978 in Britain for printing a letter from a Roman centurion claiming that he loved Jesus. There is no basis for thinking that such a document existed. For a start, many centurions were illiterate.

Huh? Who is Jesus? Do you mean that jewish rabbi Jeshu that the greek christians renamed Jesus and claimed him as their God in the flesh? Didn't he already come back once? How many lives does that guy get any way? The last event would probably be "WORLD-WIDE PANIC"

Jesus called for the reformation of Judaism of the time. To him Judaism was being too heavily influenced by the Roman empire, and when he openly spoke out against it during passover (flipping the merchant's tables etc.), the roman empire saw him as a threat... Jesus ( during his time) was not necessarily viewed as the son of God... just a disrupter.

You are assuming Jesus would want to become a US citizen.  That's pretty arrogant don't you think?\nFurthermore no amendment would be needed, Jews are just as capable of getting their green cards. \n\nJesus was never active in politics.  I would think he would continue this path.

He would be himself JESUS

Love how your mind works!  I think Moses.  Jesus would be okay, but he would probably turn the water to wine.
