I think you are mixing up people in the Bible. Before coming to Christ, Paul killed many Christians.

Jesus did not "become a Christian". Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. On Him is Christianity founded. As part of his nature was divine, he never committed any sin, including murder (or killing someone). You may be confusing Jesus with Paul who persecuted the Christians before his conversion.

In a way you could say that Jesus was responsible for millions of deaths, since horrific acts of violence like the Christian Crusades and the Holy Inquisitions were carried out in his name. Indeed, more people have probably been killed in the name of Christianity than for any other cause. Jesus, by the way, was a mere mortal, and merely a great teacher, like Buddha, or Ghandi, or Martin Luther King. His followers even proved this by calling him 'rabbi." The Christ bullshite was invented later as Christians became more and more oppressed by the Romans.

JESUS was never a Christian as HE was of the Jewish Faith. it was after HIS death Christianity became a cult then later an accepted Religious Belief System after the Emperor Constantine adopted the Christian Religion as the official Religion of Rome.

You are seriously confused!!
First of all Jesus was not a Christian. His followers became Christians because of him.
Jesus was without sin...DUH, and killing is a sin!!

During the time of Jesus there were many stories about Jesus as a child on is that he killed a friend by pushing him off the roof of a house and then raised him from the dead.

Anyone that has studied the historical and biblical text from the era is familiar with the story.

It was one of the stories that the pope chose to leave out of the bible when they were putting the bible togeher

What book was it you read that from?
I know it was not the Bible - the source of all knowledge so I suppose it doesn't matter where you read it. As it is not from the Bible then it doesn't matter it is bogus information.
Besides as mentioned above me, Jesus didn't BECOME christian it is those who become christian by following the Christ in Truth (narrow is the gate).

Any one who said he did or did not kill someone are wrong. The simple answer is that we do not know and nobody will ever know. And also, Jesus was always a Jew.

No, Jesus didn't kill anybody when He came to earth the first time around. No one died in His presence although several people were raised from the dead. The first time Jesus came, He came as the suffering servant, the sacrificial Lamb who would lay down his life as a ransom for many. But the second time that He comes He will be coming as the righteous judge and the conquering King. Then all of the people who have despised his sacrifice and rebelled against God will pay with their earthly lives and eternal souls.

Revelation 19:11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, "Come, gather for the great supper of God, 18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great."

19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

That is a lie. He was a humble kind man who healed a cut off ear from one of the men who arrested Him in the garden. Christian means to be Christ like, Jesus is the one and only Christ. your statement is way off base.
