>>>He died because he crossed the Romans who where the conquering power in the land. They simply did not like his message, or were worried about him inciting a rebellion so they used their form of capital punishmment. He did not died for anybody. He died for his speeches and acts, right or wrong, in the eyes of the local powers. As for the second part, there were no Christians around anywhere, as they did not yet exist. He was a Jew when he was born and he was Jewish when he died.

>Sure. All the Gospels were written decades after his death. Not one of the writers ever met him personally. All they had to work with were second and third-hand accounts. A few leaders, like Saul of Tarsus (aka St, Paul) popularized his story and basically created a new religion outside of Judaism.


I do not see how the Gospels being wrong (in your POV, which I probably share more than what you think) allow you to distort history and read what you want <g>

Seriously, from where exactly you got the idea that the Romans decided Jesus was a threat and execute him for they did not like His message? Did you read a Roman paper of the time where all the details of the trial and execution were exposed? I know the question sounds mocking, but is not its intention, I really did not read that historians had found any irrefutable evidence supporting that claim, but I read that the exact nature of the charge against Jesus is not known, and almost all what I read mention that Jewish authorities at least interrogated and then accused Him before Pilates, something that was conveniently missing in your post.
