"Since Jesus is God manifest in the flesh, we only have to look at the theocracy of the ancient Israelites to see what 'party' Jesus would have been a member of."

Hmm.. . . would that be the ancient Israelites that He called, "whitewashed sepulchres full of dead men's bones"? Or the ones He said "would travel halfway around the world to make one convert, then turn him into twice the child of hell that they already were?"

He railed against the existing "theocratic" structure of the Israelites of that day.

Yes, of that day. I'm refering to the theocracy set up when Moses was around.

He argued with the way the religious lawyers who were puppets of the Romans lied about the Law. He preached the Ten Commandments as the way to permanent life. After being called "good" by someone else, he said that no man is good and that only God is good.

Christianity is a sect of Judaism.

He supported theocracy but disagreed with that of the Romanized lawyers.

Mere parables. He loved all mankind, even the Romans who were slaughtering those who surrounded themselves around Jesus.
