Messiah. Before you, Christians jump to cry blasphemy (or abuse): dispute this statement in the context that when I asked earlier on that Jesus did not come on earth for anybody but Jews, Christians said the "Jews rejected him" and that was only after that rejection that he started preaching to the gentiles.

so much is started over anger.
it explains why so many christians today are angry and hateful toward others.
and, don't forget, it's a cult myth. you cannot determine motivations about cult myth characters, you can write whatever you like about those things that are make-believe, and claim they are true.
what are Peter Pan's motivations? see my point?

If you look at history you will discover that at the time Jesus walked the planet, there were more than 18 different people claiming to be the "Messiah." Rome was in control of Jerusalem. All the Jews wanted was the biblical Messiah - a man of war - to come along and successfully boot the Romans out!
None of the 18 or so, so called "Messiahs" were successful, including Jesus. Thus, the Jews never accepted Jesus as the Messiah because he did not fulfill the prophecy. He did what he allegedly did in spite of it all. It took Christians to come along after the fact, about 350 years after, to make this teacher, this rabbi, god. Enter the trinity and the ensuing madness ever since.

That's a lie, Jesus preached to all who would hear Him. The Gentiles worshipped other Gods and denied God the Father. The Jews was religious people but really didn't know God for themselves. They didn't know they were literally looking at hIm in the face. But you hear throughout Jesus's life on Earth, where some people (not neccesarily Jewish) recognize taht He was the son of God, that He wa the Messiah. It takes fatih to believe in God, and if you don't thave it, you're an accident waiting to happen!!!!!!!!

Oh dear. Jesus was not angry, nor was he starting his own "church". Jesus came for the Jews, and also for the gentiles. As for the Jews rejecting him, all of his disciples were Jewish, and it was extreamly hard for them to understand why the gentiles were part of Jesus plan to be saved.

No, He really was Messiah. Jesus was God in human form here. He did exactly like OT prophesied. He was not an angry man but He showed anger for the rightful causes ..like when money lenders booths were put to the church.

just because he was born a jew does not mean he was here only for the jews. he came to take all the sins away from everyone who believed in him. he started his ministry with the jewish people because they were his family and it is natural to go to them first, yes the rejected him because they saw him as a radical, but he was always going to reach out to the gentiles. this is one of the reasons that the jewish people rejected him it was against thier laws to teach the work of GOD to people the concidered heathens

Yes, that is why he succed.Every religion in this world come from rejection or conflict in older religion before.It is in human history.Maybe its just human nature or something.If its true that Jesus is Son of God maybe God is human expert and know when to send His Son or if it is not true maybe Jesus was just some guy with great leadership and good sense of moment when to act.Whatever you believe.

Your question is indeed blasphemy because it attempts to deny the devine nature of the one you call Jesus. But since you don't know his name I should not expect you to know his divine nature.
So continue to believe as you like. It really doesn't matter.

If you went to your village and the people rejected you wouldn't you go elsewhere.
They killed him, man. It didn't make sense to keep trying to brainwash them. He needed a new audience.
