[Rutles4Ever]

He declared Himself the Messiah. If He wasn't, He was an imposter - a liar who preyed on the emotions of a vulnerable society of oppressed Jews. You call that kind and considerate?

The point is, one cannot reason that Christ was not the Messiah, and at the same time claim He was just some benevolent rabbi.

I don’t really know if He declared Himself the Messiah or not. I do know that His followers wrote that He did.
As I posted earlier, should The Christ be held accountable for the actions of others?

Very true.

The Jews wanted to kill Him for claiming to be God. (Jn.10:33)
