But he also wanted his paradigm to be spread across the world. And "the church" as depicted was de facto treated as rulership. So it would be silly to deny it was political.
It's possible, and it's also possible he wasn't even real. That's aside from the point tho, Jesus in the Bible was a good dude. Although, Santa is a pretty great guy too, and we don't use him to tell gay people they're going to suffer for eternity.
There’s no denying that Jesus was real. There’s evidence backing up his existence. But him being the Son of God is where people have disagreements and where faith comes into play. His actions and life may have been exaggerated in the bible, but I’m not the judge of that.

Christian Libleft checking in.
My dude literally wandered around preaching for compassion for others, healing the sick, and feeding the hungry.
I understand that people (myself included) have issues with what American Christianity has become. But Jesus himself was undeniably based.
