I like to point out the paradox of Jesus.

With great care and concern, his followers and scholars point out to great detail how he conformed to the prophecies of the Jewish Moshiach, Messiah. And yet, once in that role, he did little or nothing a Moshiach was supposed to do, but went off in his own direction.

While he created a new religion, the old one ignored him so much that over the years, several others rose up to claim the role of Moshiach. And some of them were far more persuasive to Jews that they were indeed the Moshiach.

However, this does not matter to Christians, because in their view, Jesus wrote his own rules and was not bound to Jewish traditions of what they thought he should be.

To me the paradox of Jesus is that noone recognizes that the prophecies were available for forgers to create a pretend Jesus, long after his putative life, and then pretend that their ability to reference various prophecies was somehow evidence of the reality of their scam.

Lots of ‘accusations’ in your little ‘rant’. But it is somewhat telling you mention no sources for your position.

Jesus did not come to create any religion, much less a new one. Jesus condemned religion. He came to restore a broken relationship between God and man. And religion can't do that.

However, this does not matter to Christians, because in their view, Jesus wrote his own rules and was not bound to Jewish traditions of what they thought he should be.

Jesus did not write His own rules. He came to fulfill prophecy and that means fulfilling the Law perfectly and completely, absolutely flawlessly.

There's a few misconceptions here. Christ conformed exactly to what scriptures prophesied about him. This isn't exactly the same as what the Jewish religion prophesied.

Christ was bound only to the law of God. He wasn't bound to the laws or tradition of man. He pointed this out several times.

On the other hand much of Christianity today has deviated as far from scripture, and sometimes more, than what the Jewish religion had and so they've re-invented Christ as what you perceive in your last paragraph.
