Afterall, if he could do all that Christians believe he did and he presented himself in those times and did those things he might have been seen as doing works of magic and thus an agent of the Devil.Do you agree?

He was a trouble-maker, so he would have been dealt with accordingly by the Church. Burned to a crisp, like hundreds of thousands of other innocent people were.

Not during the Dark Ages. The Church, during the Dark Ages, had a decree that No One should believe in witches or witchcraft. That it is all fantasy and nothing to fear. It was the Middle Ages that brought us the Witch Craze... so he would have been burned at the stake during that time.

The way I see this is, since the social dementia of the Dark Ages was largely the sequela of Christianity's rise, if Christ were in the Dark Ages and was burned at the stake for witchcraft, he would be at least partly responsible for his own demise.

No. However, Jesus was crucified for blasphemy. So, in all technicality, he was "burned at the stake". But he was tried in a Roman court, so he died at the cross, which was more appropriate for that time and part of the world.
But he was resurrected after three days and is seated at the right hand of God.

I think it is a distinct possibility that this theory could be correct. Not only from the perspective you present, but, if you read the New Testament, it was church people who hated Jesus and church people who were the most difficult for Him to establish relationships with.

Actually, the Christian church was pretty much the only entity existing during that time that preserved what culture and learning there was. Savages had essentially taken over large portions of the continent.
Jesus would probably have had a better chance at survival there than anywhere else at that time.

Burned like the witch his is!
(You are confusing the dark ages with the middle ages. Witches were persecuted in medieval times).

I guess that is why He came when He did for He had to die on a cross and not be burned at the stake.

You don't think crucifixion was enough...
I'm not saying I actually think Chhrist existed or was actually crucified but it amounts to much the same thing doesn't it crucifixion or burning at the stake!.
