Could it be possible that Jesus was a thief?
I've been trying to examine Jesus personality lately, and I came up with this theory. From a psychological viewpoint, one can notice that Jesus was so preoccupied with wealth and power. It's like he had a fixation on rich men, knowing that he came from a poor family. If you examine his personality well, you will know what I'm speaking of. He calls himself "king of the kings" at various times.
He says that "it is very hard for a rich man to enter heaven".
Could it be possible that Jesus played a trick to grab people's money and take power?
One of his disciples was an accountant. He might have helped him with money issues. He knew how to choose his disciples. The proof to what I'm saying is today's money-grabbing catholics.
Could Jesus and the 12 Apostles be another version of Ali Baba and the 40 thieves?
Just a thought.

Mathematically, yes.

Nah, it's far from different. Jesus tells that a it's hard for a rich to enter Heaven because to go to Heaven, you must give everything up and commit to the Lord. The 12 apostles left their old jobs, being an tax collector, a fisherman, and other jobs, to be a follower of Jesus and go to Heaven someday. He came to give life and rest, not to steal. Jesus didn't want us to steal. There are Catholics who you say are stealing money . It's because being a Catholic will not always affect your character. It doesn't have a deep mark on your heart. They may be religious, but they may not truly love the Lord. When you really get to know Jesus, you will change a lot into a good Godly man. Then you can say," I ain't religious, I just love the Lord!" Then you'll see Jesus never stole anything.

Negative. He never call himself king of kings, it was the 12 apostles did. If he was like present world osama bin ladin he won't become a god. Poor people can understand more things than the rich cause they been gone through hardship, those experience can't be buy. People respected him because he done something people of the world cant do. Do you think people with wealth and power can do that much.

Jesus was not preoccupied with wealth and power, He chose to live as a poor man with nothing but His followers.
"King of all kings" refers to the fact that He IS the One. He wasn't meant to be king on earth, He is king in heaven. Jesus came kings starting with King Saul, King David, King Solomon; Kings who were handpicked by God. Kings bow down to His glory.
I feel sorry for you. But you know something? Jesus loves you.

There is no indication in the New Testament that Jesus had any money. It's hard to call Him a thief if He doesn't have anything. The police fixate on crime. Does that make all police criminals?

Your thoughts are nonsense. You must not know scripture well to understand what He was really saying. Many men love money and wealth rather than serving the Messiah. Many were greedy rather than giving to the widows, orphans, and the poor. Many loved money more than loving the Messiah. That is what he was teaching to the people, to love and to give.

One thing. Contrary to popular belief, carpenters were very upper middle class in the Roman world.

No, I don't think that is possible. How would you explain the prophesies of his coming in the Old Testament? I'm sorry, but, no way man.
