If Jesus Was A Jew, Then Who Created Christianity? by sonmvayina(op): 2:56pm On Jan 10, 2025
I got the idea to create this topic partly from quora and partly from the the ongoing discussion about a Catholic priest removing his cassock and chasuble for life.
The answer to this question are carried. Most people on quora went for Paul of Tarsus and some also said Jesus... BUT the answer that stroke me was someone who said Martin Luther king.
I think in a way it is correct prior to that time, what was in existence was the Catholic Church, with four important prelates.. Alexandria,Antioch, Constantinople and Rome. Jerusalem had a bishop that was sometimes seen as the fifth.(Much the same way the Miami masters is seen as the fifth Grand slam).
So who really created Christianity?
To answer that we have to go through the ages, probably to Alexandria (in Egypt) where serapis and isis was worshipped. This pair will later become our Jesus and Mary at the council of Ephesius and calcedon. The worship of serapis and isis(is CHREST) spread to all part of the empire and to Rome. Rome at this time was mainly Mithraism. There was no mention of a wonder worker in Israel.
When Constantine came to scene, he wanted a single religion for his empire and surmoned all the religious leaders to Nicea to choose between Mithraism and chrestianity as the religion of the empire. They voted to go with chrestianity because they had more Greeks than Romans..
The rest is history.
So who created Christianity? My answer..the Roman empire.

Considering the context of the new testament. Jesus was born by a Jewish mother and fostered by a Jewish father(we know God don't do magic) , he followed the Jewish laws and custom all his life before he was executed for treason by the Romans. He was said to have told those who came to him "to keep the laws" and as one of the items on the sermon on the mount, he said "He has not come to destroy the law and the prophet, but to fulfil them. That is show us that it can be done....
The early Gospels saw Jesus as a man, who was anointed by God on his baptism....it is the later ones like John. Where the christology really takes shape...
Well, the Jews don't have any tradition about Jesus. He just does not feature anywhere. So if they don't care. I don't see any reason to care too
So according to the gospels stories..Jesus was born,grew up, lived and died a jew.

It's very surprising that Jesus Christ did not help his own people defeat the Roman empire from his father's land, but same Jesus Christ showed Constantine a sign in the sky to help Constantine win his war in Rome 300 years later

Hahhaahhahaha,
Where do you pull all these puns from

I love them.

Thanks....don't mind the brainwashed Christians with their brain in their asses.

All forgeries, to keep the lie going. All attributed to Eusebius, who said it was ok to lie for God.

Believing this invented story till YouTube exposed this to me that it's an invented story and the mind is now free to ask questions, it's like how did one not ask such questions before YouTube, but now with all the free information on YouTube and from your posts these puns are now coming from a new free mind that has been suppressed with this invented story in the past.

This verse answers your question
Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Because Jesus was a Jew and lived his life a Jew and followed the Torah (though in some cases, he went fowl of the Torah. (That's if he existed) Just referencing the text....
Jesus never claim to start a new religion .

So if I quote from the words of Peter, would you claim that Peter started Christianity?
You are not being logical here. You claim Jesus Christ was a Jew hence he couldn't be the author of our religion. But then you forgot that Paul was also a Jew. So you see, you are not making much sense here
You are wrong about the life Jesus Christ lived. Please read your Bible to understand the life Jesus Christ lived.
The laws Jesus Christ taught was beyond that of the Jews. Have you ever read Matthew chapters 5 to 7?
There is so much about the life of Christ that is beyond the laws of the Jews. Please read the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to learn more..
Let me give you some examples.
Matthew 5:27-28
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Matthew 5. 43-44
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Who created Christianity that is my question...

It can't be Jesus, because he was a Jew all his life. (That's if he existed).

Again you are not making sense. Why is a Jew not capable of establishing another religion. Please explain.

Why did a Nigerian not establish another Ifa or Ogun religion during the European colonisation of Nigeria. Same thing with the Jews at that time the Romans were colonising the Jews at that time and part of the colonisation was to invent a gentle Jesus messiah to calm down the Jewish religious revolts against the Roman occupation with their pagan idol they placed in the Jewish Holly Temple in Jerusalem.

I have told you several times that apart from Jehovah's Witnesses no religion can survive teaching their members the same line of thought so many will claim they belong to Christ but how will you know they are lying to their own souls?

They will never ever agree on how to do the work Jesus assigned to his disciples {Luke 11:23} so when they see Jehovah's Witnesses unitedly working as One {John 17:22} they will conclude that we are a cult! Matthew 10:24-25

Kingsempires knew that the same thing happened when Jesus walked the earth {John 6:66} so it's not new, what Jesus told faithful people is:

"Whoever endure to the end will be saved" Matthew 24:13

So it's not surprising that many will shrink back to destruction! Hebrews 10:39 smiley

You reinvent history. You really should do some studying before coming out here to say these things.
The first Century Christians were hunted and killed by the Roman empire. The Romans continued to persecute Christians up to AD 313.
Just read a book and you will stop preaching these falsehoods.
Again, if Mohamed an Arab could invent Islam why do you think Jesus Christ a Jew can't be the author 9f Christianity?
Do some thinking bro

Okay let me education you on Jewish history. In AD 70 when the Roman empire destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem and conquered the Jews there were no Christians Jerusalem there was only Judaism and the Romans took many Jews away to Rome as slaves. Christianity started from the Egyptian god Osiris which the Romans had added to their religion and then the Romans merged it with Judaism to create Christianity in AD 313.

Anyone can write or say nonsense so instead of us making unsubstantiated claims, let you and I quote recognized historians that back our positions. Are you in for this?
Here are the very words of the first Century historian Flavius Josephus
About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who performed surprising deeds and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks.
Here is a link so you can educate yourself on the works of Josephus
