You are rather sad my friend? Does a man who teaches love for all unconditionally cause trouble? Or does a man, whose main message is peace, tolerance, love, respect, helping one another and understanding cause trouble! The fact is that whether or not you believe in the divinity or The Lord Jesus Christ or not, his message remains the greatest ever to be told. In addition, had it not been for Christianity do you think you would be living in the Europe or America you live in today? There is no doubt that Christianity formed the basic foundation for early Arts, Music, literature, Law, and Education, all which have lead to the modern day western world. Not to mention the fact that no Christian teachings oppose the natural Moral and Logical Law of humans. So it is down right outrageous to say the Jesus Christ, or his message, have ever caused trouble. It can however be stated that unfortunately, sometimes deviations and heresies from the true faith cause trouble. On that I must agree. It horrifies me even more than you to see some of the things today committed in the name of religion. The basic point made here, is that Christianity and Jesus cannot possibly ever cause trouble, however departure from the true teachings and acts committed certain minorities cause great damage to the pure image of Christianity. Finally, it makes no difference what the human profession of Jesus was. On the contrary the fact that Jesus was a carpenter only teaches humility and greatness of one through his love and not appearances. So please my friend don’t talk nonsense, and check the facts first. God bless.

Good point, but like someone already posted it is not him that causes the trouble, but the ignorant.
Another point to make is that there are Jewish and Christian Palestinians, just like there are Muslim and Christian Israelis, although the later have less rights then the Jewish Israelis.

SHHHHHHHH! Don't tell the Christians, but JESUS (Yeshua bar Joseph), was a JEW, not a Christian.
We don't want to wake up the LOST Sheep and have them bleating all over the place like the Salvation Army!
The Messenger is not important, only the WORD is important!

I see what you mean. But I think he might argue that it's not him causing the trouble, it's everyone involved in the trouble. He's dead so he can't get involved. Probably wouldn't want to anyway. Good question through.

If Jesus was just a carpenter I would totally agree with you, but as he is God incarnate and therefore the only Truth I cannot.
Besides, the truth always stirs us up when we are confronted with it, thats the nature of truth to challenge us.
But in fairness, I think you are refering in reality to the trouble that hypocritical christians and false faiths have created, and I nod in agreement to this.

He was a Jew first of all and it is not him who stirs the troubles, but the people.

Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord JC.
Joseph was Nazarite carpenter; Not father of Jesus.
Custom was the sons carried on the trade of fathers.
Father of Jesus likely priest who overshadowed Mary.
Jesus went about his father's business: Mt 22 law law.
Jesus of JC was about "division" & not peace.
Christ of JC was about "peace" & not dividead.
Peace with God is notably "THROUGH Jesus->Christ".
To wit: that God was in "Christ" reconciling the world.
Which is to also say not in Jesus alienating the world.
It's allegory with over-all more-all: "grace is sufficient".
Enmity: I will forsake you, the city, your fathers...Law
Friend: I will never leave thee nor forsake thee...Grace
If God both, approach cautious, lest having a f-you day.
Christ is our peace who hath abolished the enmity(law).
Try(Test Drive) the Spirits(Gods):
Law isn't sufficient, so try Grace.
Grace is sufficient, so flush Law.
Both an oxy-moron with bad end.
End of grace + law is worse-end.
Kinda like saved + destroyed after.
Bible ends with saved(only) by grace(only):
The Grace(God) of our Lord JC with you all. Amen.

It is not the Carpenter who stirs up the trouble. It is the fundamentalists followeres like Falwell and Robertson who misrepresent him.

If He never would have come back to life after being crucified, and hadn't been beamed up into a spaceship, who would still remember Him?

You must be a British lunatic. Why would you use the term Palestinian? It is the year 2006, not 70.
