Jesus taught us about God's love and about tolerance and acceptance. He was a master who was truly enlightened and knew the truth about God and wanted us all to know of God's unconditional love for us. That was the point. Too bad we didn't get it.

What he preached was how to live a holy life before God through a proper understanding of Torah. He condemned the Pharisees because their teachings were loosely based on God Word, the Torah. What the Pharisees taught was more based on their own understandings, traditions and customs. Of course he only did this on the Sabbath when he wasnt working. Many belive that he gave up the carpenter trade, but in fact that is why he wandered through the land of Israel - he was looking for work. And where ever work could be found, he would talk to the locals about God's Torah and even taught in the synagogues.
Its almost sad how much people don't understand what he taught. Many go by the words of Paul in the book of Romans where he says the people aren't under "law" but under grace. The shocking point is this - Paul wasn't talking about God's Torah, but of the laws and regulations of the Pharisees. Which then comes into agreement with what Yeshua also did - teaching the meaning or understanding of Torah and condeming the Pharisees for their practices of their own "law".
The whole point of Yeshua's teachings was to properly understand Torah, in turn properly understanding what God wants from each person. And by understanding the difference between God's Torah and the Pharisees' teachings, one is not condemned if one properly returns to God and His ways.

These are all really easy questions to answer. Jewish men of Jesus' day didn't leave their parents' house until they turned 30. When Jesus left home he had been completely trained by his father Joseph to be a carpenter and that is how he made any living that he had. You can read plenty of what he preached about in the Bible. He gave instructions on how God wants his people to live. The point was to bring God's people back and to be a Savior for every one so we don't have to sacrifice calves like people did in Old Testament times. Read Matthew 5

Jesus was sent to teach the Gospel, to show humanity that only thru him was heaven attainable. He preached about God and how you should love Him and your neighbors. The whole point was so that when people died, they wouldnt suffer eternally in hell, but have a place in heaven beside the Father. Hope this kinda helps.

he preached about people turning from their sins and turning to God. His example was that he lived a good life. He helped other people and stopped other people from hurting. His whole message was for people to only follow him, only put their faith in Him, to save them from God's wrath on judgement day.
Not by obeying laws nor being good enough, for the Bible says "ALL OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE AS FILTHY RAGS". So you dont get to Heaven by good works etc, but good works will show up in yoou once you give your faith to Jesus. And even faith is not of yourselves, it too is a gift from God

He preached about values, not really religion. He said that you shouldn't lie, you should respect your neighbors/family/friends, and you should accept people for who they are.

Imbecilic. Our churches, radios, televisions, computers,and newspapers all offer information and insight as to what Jesus was "all about". Visit your choice of churches, check out a religious radio program (Gabbin' about God...), watch your local televised services, read Billy Graham's newspaper column.
Unless you have a specific question, then you are merely wasting time.
