I believe that jesus was an influential, charismatic rabbi who was crucified by the Romans. The rest the miracles and such I see being added later as they have been with countless other "historical" figures.
Besides the fact that I can not accept the miracles I also see way too many influences from other mythological figures incorporated into what we see as jesus today.
If christianity were really about the teachings of jesus, without Paul's twist and at times hate filled rhetoric I would find it much more palatable, I still wouldn't follow but I think it would be closer to Buddhism than what we see today.

A sage or wise man, possibly a prophet who *might* have been crucified. Since there is no historical evidence of his execution among Roman documents (and they were pretty good at keeping those), the manner of his death is kind of sketchy, but the words attributed to him have made enough enough of an impact on the world in general to warrant study by Christians and non-Christians alike.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was before time began and will be forever. He is one of three and yet one with them He is the Creator of all and the Salvation of All things.

I say Jesus was a creation by Rome at the Nicea Assembly when they created the Trinity and then created the Monarchy God head, which not only was a lie but was done to separate us from our birth right, as Yeshua is and was the first fruit and we have the same potential ultimately through our own efforts as he showed. He died for no ones sin, Constantine choose St. Augustine's Doctrine of original sin as a means of control, to make men think they were inherently sinful and that they were to be ruled over by, that they didn't have a higher nature which was superior to all the rulers and leaders of this world. I say Y'Shua was the man who achieved the greatest level of anointing and become one with the indwelling Logos/or Mind of God and that he is the our Elder Brother.
He was the first of the prodigal sons to reach perfection, and we too can and are to achieve the same thing as he did. He is the pattern AND we are all brothers/sisters. We all have a inner higher soul self by which we can become one with God as Yeshua did, and it is ultimately our destiny as our higher Soul Selves develop over life times towards that goal.

Probably the greatest Prophet to ever live. A man who obtained Godhood. Both man 100%, and God 100%. A Christ.

God's only begotten Son, who saved my soul, and forgave me of my sin and made it all possible by shedding his blood on the cross of Calvary. That's who.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
