would Jesus be a Independent?
based on his idea of universal truths, and universal love?he wouldn't pick sides, but pick both..right? f he was born today, would he be locked up, out of fear?
If Jesus was reborn in todays modern world, wouldn't he be in a mental hospital?
for the sheer fact most fear(death) the end of the world(end of you), and well unaccepting of his return. persecution all over again.
and a terrorist by spreading fear, without violent acts.

Jesus was nothing more than a salesman

Jesus teaches how to overcome the selfish ego; so ALL those who are prisoners of their own ego would reject Jesus and the teachings he shared. They rejected him the first time and they will reject him the second time.
However, the second time they will awaken from their sleep and realise that it is not Jesus that is the 'enemy' but their own selfishness.
When they realise this, they will listen, receive understanding, find love in their hearts and heal themselves.
Jesus doe not take sides, God is not a partisan as men are. Jesus would recognise no countries, no borders, no nationalities, nor would he 'belong' to any organisation.
You cannot 'belong' and be 'free!'
Jesus would not end up in a mental hospital or prison, because by the time those egos who thought they were authorities found him, his teaching would have already gone out to all corners of the earth.
Jesus imparts everlasting life - and those that oppose Life are those in most need of psychological help.
As Jesus said of his persecutors "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do" - because regardless of how powerful the deception of the ego and its belief in violence as a method of dealing with problems - all those that use violence are busy committing suicide.
Jesus did the works he was able to do because he tapped into the Spiritual Fountainhead within Himself - as do His real followers today.
There is no 'authority' on earth that can resist the Wisdom, and Power that issues from this stream, that is hidden within us all.
To try to hurt one who shares the knowledge of everlasting life is insanity and suicide.

He committed treason in his time and was legally killed for it.
In America, he wouldn't be arrested since religion is not tied to government. Much anyway.
He also would not be taken to a mental hospital unless he presents a clear and present danger to himself or others.
Most would ignore him, but he might unwillingly form a cult following that decides to kill in his name. You never know what they'll do.
Politically, he's not an anarchist since he's okay with following the govt's rules. He'd probably be a Libertarian like Ron Paul!

If Jesus was born tomorrow about 30 years later this world would crucify him...why? Because the Bible foretold he had to be the man of sorrows, payment for sin

He would be independent. He would choose the truth and justice side. He won't be locked up and he won't be in a mental hospital.

Jesus would definitely be a person in question if he were in this "modern" world; but, he was a questionable person in his own time.

His Words would be on TV,
just like they are today.
We don't end, with the end of the World.
The World doesn't end.
It's a World without end. Amen, Amen
