Deifying Jesus came much later. Only John has claims of divinity, it’s also the most anti-Jewish of all Gospels. The other Gospels use vague terms like “Son of G-d,” but in Judaism this is used to describe people who knew G-d better through greater revelation, not actually deifying a person. Even all of Israel is called “Sons of G-d” in the Prophets.

Jesus probably went to Jerusalem to preach his message of a coming Messiah (not himself) and G-d’s coming judgment. Up until that point he was just teaching around Galilee and rural areas. His Temple outburst among other things would have not just been offensive to the Jewish people, but also to the Roman authorities for causing disturbances. That’s most likely what got him killed.

@IzabellasHope – I don’t think it’s that hard. Modern Biblical scholarship and historians have done a great deal over the last two centuries. The blatant contradictions and false interpretations have all been exposed. They teach the fallibility and problems of the NT in any decent theological school. The clergy know the problems, but they do not transmit that information to the laity. It’s no mystery why….they’d lose their customers.

(con’t) At least those who hold a literal/inerrant view of the Bible and faith.

You know the average layperson sitting in the pew every Sunday morning does not study the Bible. Most have never even read the Bible from cover to cover even once. They just accept the nice fluffy messages of the clergy.

it was hard at first to think about praying directly to G_d being taught from a young age that you need a mediator..i still find it hard to address G_d directly..but at least now it doesn’t feel like i am praying to a wall with the sound of my own words coming back to me like an empty echo

its hard to know where Jesus ends and the myth/propaganda begins…and that is the problem facing all xtians who realise that all is not what it seems in the NT…for me it was a frightening prospect at first and i found myself apologising to G_d a lot in case i got it wrong…but i think if you are on the side of truth then G_d will not forsake you…
