Was Jesus a Jewish Anarchist?

yes. heysus was an anarchist...i'm glad to see that someone else on here isn't such a retard as the rest in this section.\n\njesus and other parts of the bible make it clear that the word is from god and resides within the heart...thus, making churchess and it's ilk obsolete. and that the word is the authority, not man. \n\nthe church makes man authority by the manipulation of scriptures for their own interests, thus creating a buffer between man and god's love. churches also create an environment where man's validation is more rewarded than gods'. church goers don't fear god...they fear other church members and societies disapproval. \n\nanyway, the point being that jesus was an anarchist because neither he or his followers lived under governments, churches, or any other form of mans law, and went so far as to live a very simple life of few possesions and a lot of giving to both be out from under mans law and to live the life of the word in their hearts, one of love. \n\nanyone who can't see this truth from reading the gospels is blinded by the great deciever...pat robertson...just kidding, kinda.\n\nthe people who can't see this with their heart are usually the one's who wear christianity as a weapon. they usually judge, cant  follow the word without constant accountability by others church memebers and need others to interpret what is pretty clear to the  ones who read the gospels with an open heart.

Jesus was really more about spiritual things than economic. He wanted to help sinners and so forth, not political parties per se. Neither democrats nor republicans have any monopoly on claims to preference from Jesus. There were no political parties then, just factions that were mostly secular in ROME but religious in Israel. In Israel people did not vote. They obeyed their religious laws and leaders and then, after being invaded by Rome, they obeyed Roman law. Jesus was famous for loving everybody, not just the poor. If he was just another goodie-two-shoes helping the poor, he would not be special. The thing that made his tecahing special was that he said to "love thine enemies" Most so-called Christain groups or factions today forget all about that and spread hate. They are disgraces to Jesus' memory.\nThe jews were threatened by his teachings more than the Romans so they framed him with the law and got him killed\nThe jewish factions that hated jesus were collaborators with the occupiers, like the Vichi French in WWII( traitors to their people)\n\nThe Romans were occupiers, like America in IRAQ today, and they just wanted peace so they could exploit the region and not have to settle disputes or fight revolutionary battles with insurgents. So they backed the old Jews to get rid of Jesus to buy their continued cooperation.

I believe so.  Christians follow Jesus as their savior.  Their savior just happens to be Jewish.  He took part in these observances.

being a Jew, I'm pretty sure Jesus was cool with it, he was a rabbi, he wore the tassels and the side curls he taught the fulfilment of the hebrew scripture, his early followers considered themselves messianic Jews, a lot of the early church's debate was about whether us goyim could be included in the church, he quoted the law of moses and he celebrated the Jewish holidays, don't let anyone give you the anti semitic Jesus crap, they're justifying their own irrational fear and prejudice

You are right. Jesus did not abolish the laws but fulfilled it.\n\n*(*

He was Jewish, and for about three hundred years, his followers were also considered Jewish. Eventually, there was enough disagreement about whether you could be a good Jew and believe that the Messiah had come that the "Christians" were told they really weren't part of Judaism anymore. I am a Roman Catholic, but my religion starts with Judaism as its basis. I don't understand how anyone who follows Christ can be anti-Semitic, because Jesus and His family and His first followers were Jewish.

Jews were not responsible for the death of Jesus, regardless of what Mel Gibson thinks.\n\nJews did not accept Jesus as the messiah because he did not fulfill the prophecies about the messiah. Christianity claims Jesus will finish the prophecies in his second coming, but according to Judaism the messiah will not die before all the prophecies are realized.

Good question. Made me think. Jesus brought with him the spirit of the laws of how mankind should live, not the word of the law. He wasn't atheist but in a way you could say he was more human-oriented than any of the prophets before him. \n\nHe said himself that he did not come to undo the law and the prophets, yet the simple philosophy of doing to your neighbor what you would have him do to you was enough to change the Jewish customs dramatically into Christianity.\n\nHe wasn't atheist, but I think you mean that his teachings work outside the context of religion. He advocated doing what makes sense no matter what the law said. He healed on the sabbath, he drank wine, he taught people who were not Jews the same as people who were. He was a revolutionary. I can see how one could ask this question.

Jesus was Jewish (He was born of the Jewish line) His skin was dark.

Jesus Peace be Upon Him was a Palestinian. \n\nHe was born and raised in Palestine.\n\nHe was a submitter to the Lord and he was sent down to fix the changes that were commited by the Jews. He was accepted by many people who followed him but was also rejected by the Jews and the Infidel Romans who tried to put him on the cross.\n\nJesus was ofcourse a Palestinian, and if he was on earth today, he would order the world to unite against the deception of the Zionists who claim that God gave them the land of Palestine and who claim that they are God's chosen people, which they are not because they lost favor with God when they rejected Jesus.\n\nJesus Christ was a Palestinian, don't believe anyone who would tell you otherwise. Only pro-Zionistanists would try to hide that fact.\n\nSInce we're discussing Palestine, I would like to say that the arrogance of the zionists and their supporters is the reason this conflict is there in the first place. Palestine has always been a part of the ottoman empire and before that all Islamic Empires. \n\nI just don't see how a German or Polish or Russian or American jew can claim that this land is his, it's sickening, the ammount of arrogance such a person should have before giving himself the permission to transgress on the property of Palestinians.\n\nAnyhow, your Lord will make the rightous victorious, so no one is worried, but people are only upset at the disintigration of humanity's ethical values, that you cannot take land away from people because you claim that God Promised it to you or because you claim that you are God's CHOSEN people. \n\nThere are no Chosen people, and anyone in this age who claims that he or she is chosen is in my eyes, a CURSED person. the Lord would never chose people who go around killing Palestinian children. 1000 such children killed over the past 5 years. God's "chosen" people would simply have to be more "chosen" i.e. just, loving, fair... not arrogant fools.

One of the meanings of the word Pagan is "Not a Christian, Jew, or Muslim". I do believe Jesus did exist as a person. There are proclaimed Christian-Pagans though. Pagan belief system is a very unique one for it can be personalized for each individual, so if you find the need to incorporate Jesus into it, by all means please do so. (I have included some sites the describe what a Pagan or Paganism is as the sources.

According to the Jesus myth, Jesus was a Jew who practiced the Hebrew rituals.\n\nIf Christians followed the Jesus myth, they would be attending synagogues and following Hebrew law.\n\nBut they don't, so they don't.\n\nPaul invented the Gentile version of "Christianity" and that is the version adopted by the Catholic church. The majority of the "New Testament" was written by Paul, or someone pretending to be him.

What do Jews say about Jesus?  Nothing.  No Jewish religious works reference him, nothing of what he said is studied- he is completely irrelevant to us.  In out opinion, Jesus was just one of many false messiahs throughout history.  Bottom line- to Jews he is a non-entity- of no importance beyond the fact that a religion has been established in his name which has, at times, been used as an excuse to persecute us- and through which lies and defamation about Jews has been spread.

NOPE HE IS NOT THE SON OF MAN.. JESUS WAS JUST A JEWISH GUY THAT RAN AROUND DOING TORAH TEACHINGS AND WAS GREATLY MISUNDERSTOOD.

Jesus as we know was Jewish, and in those times a Jewish Rabi had to be married in order to be listened to.  The Bible depicts him as being a bachelor, so that he would represent a divine being, and we know that over the centuries many things of the bible have been changed or added or removed.

Messianic Jews and Jewish Christians are essentially the same entities, but they are certainly not oxymorons. The Old Testament, or Hebrew Scriptures as Jews call it, prophesies about a coming savior who Christians believe is Jesus Christ. However, traditional Jewish thinking does not accept Jesus as this savior, nor does it accept the New Testament. There is a small amount of Jews, however, that do believe Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecy, hence the name "messianic" (as in messiah aka savior). Basically, the messianic Jew who practices his/her religion will most likely adhere to the traditions and beliefs of the Jewish faith with the exception of believing that Jesus is the savior from the Old Testament. It's just like Judaism, adding the fulfillment of prophecy of Jesus Christ into the faith.
