Anything that limit you from serving God is an idol
You phone can be your idol if you place value on it over God.

Worshiping a Jewish man with no evidence he actually lived is insanity....
Worshiping a man as God is idolatry..

You are finding it hard to accept that Jesus is a later invention by the Romans....
Probably because you have invested your whole life and resources on it..

My guy, my whole life turned upside down when I found out .but I picked my self up dusted my pants and moved on..

You can do the same..

Just follow the laws as found in the Torah.

I can teach you. If you want.

Many ooo. The biggest one is believing that only Christians will make heaven as Christian.

Or believing only Muslims will make heaven as a Muslim.

Is there any difference between the Catholics and the traditionalists?

Do not bow to any statue should be applicable to all
do you bow to great your elders? Will you prostrate to greet a king peradventure you meet one? How about when you meet let us say a state governor? Okay... No matter how little, do you bow to greet your boss at work (I mean maybe the CEO of the company) that it is not common for you to see naturally? Does all these things I mentioned as examples amount to you worshipping them?

Jesus was not minor but was very popular then:

1. Crowds Following Jesus for Healing and Teaching
Matthew 4:23-25:
"News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill... Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and the region across the Jordan followed him."

Mark 1:28:
"News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee."

Luke 5:15:
"Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses."

2. Feeding of the 5,000
John 6:2:
"A great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick."

Mark 6:33-34:
"Many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them..."

3. Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem
Matthew 21:8-9:
"A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, 'Hosanna to the Son of David!' 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

Luke 19:37-38:
"When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen."

4. Sermon on the Mount
Matthew 5:1-2:
"Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them."
5. Jesus' Popularity After Miracles
Matthew 9:8:
"When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man."

Luke 4:37:
"And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area."

Mark 2:1-2:
"A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them."

6. Palm Sunday
John 12:12-13:
"The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, 'Hosanna!' 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
7. Popularity with the Samaritans
John 4:39-42:
"Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony... So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. And because of his words many more became believers."
so Jesus wasn't a major sect nor a minor sect but you account for his popularity based on records that state he existed before the tie frame you accuse he was made up, because you wrote and I quote, "They invented Jesus Christ after 70 AD to try and stop Jewish revolts. Flavius Josephus was 16 in 37 AD and did not know of Jesus" yet there are records from the same Josephus mentioning the Jesus you claim was made up

And here you reference stories you claim are made to state his popularity yet say "Josephus did not know him"

Could you care to explain to those reading the basis of your changing statements or should we accept that they are based on your personal feelings as we read from what you wrote

"This is why the invented Jesus Christ did not also direct his anger towards the Roman soldiers superiors who came and invaded his homeland, like he always did to his own people even the innocent tree he did not forgive"

Showing your disappointment in his choices brings about a denial of his existence.

Like you wrote and I quote, "Jesus was not minor but was very popular then"

You were the one that said all the other sects were minor, which means you are saying the Jesus sect were minor too

But your Roman empire invented Jesus Christ did not judge the Roman empire for destroying his father's house and his father's land in Jerusalem but showed a sign in the sky in Rome to help them win their own civil war 300 years later and decided to make Rome that is still filled with idols his head quarters instead of his father's land and his father's house in Jerusalem, but no your invented Jesus Christ was not bother that Rome destroyed his father's house and his father's land in Jerusalem.
