Lennon was a dark side agent! I hope that solves it for you! Christ is real but to go into him 100% is not the way the wealthy do it! Makes sense?

Re: A little more.
This all sounds plausible. You've explained it quite well and I'll read it thru a few times. I wonder if Christians on Blogit will agree with you? They might fing it a bit ironic.
Perhaps today isn't the day but I hope that they will look in and I would like to see how they respond to your points or mine for that manner.

A little more.
Yeshua, if you get past the impression you can get from the Medieval Church that tried to separate itself from Judaism as much as possible, was not an itinerant preacher; he was a rabbi, of the Pharisees, and had his own synagogue in Capernaum (John 6 indicates such). You find such notables as Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimethea, both pharisees, admiring him (Nicodemus called him "rabbi").
He had a lot of supporters there, particularly in out-of-the way Galilee, which was looked down upon by cosmopolitan Jerusalem.
Main question: would today's Christians crucify Jesus? In Matthew 23, he railed against Jerusalem's religious authorities, who said they would not persecute and kill the prophets as did their ancestors, saying yes they would.
So, the question should be asked, "If today's religious authorities felt that their system were being threatened, what steps would they take to eliminate the threat?"
What are they doing already?

l like your questioning
I separate Jesus (Yeshua) from Christ.
Christ is knowing that we are all right -- and that there is no condemnation, for condemnation is a human construct.
Yeshua was a threat to the ingrained religious system. He did not play politics as the other factions of his day. He did not separate himself as the Essenes seem to have done (although traces of them have been found in Jerusalem).
He faced the religious establishment, offering the masses salvation without religion.
That is why he was crucified.
He came declaring that not only he, but all the rest of us, are sons (and of course daughters) of God. That is what the high priest called blasphemy and tore his clothes over (the son of man coming in clouds of glory). He stood for the dignity of Man.
Problem is, those who deemed to call themselves his followers set up a system exactly like that which he was preaching against.
Ironic.
