He is the Son of God.

>>295934
Ok but was he a Zealot?

>>295920
Essene

>>295920
Considering that crucifixion was exclusively reserved for those who talked about overthrowing rome, Yes.

>>295997
I thought the Romans just misunderstood Jesus?

>>296037
Maybe, but he was seen as a risk factor anyway. Rome got nervous over citizen's assembly and they didn't want this weird jew cult getting out of hand.

>love your enemies
>pray for those who persecute you
>the Roman soldier has great faith because he realizes we both have authority

I don't think so.

I don't recall him burning down any grain silos, so no.

>>295920

He was an apocalyptic prophet who thought he would be the messiah in the literal Kingdom of God after God returned to overthrow the forces of evil that currently held power in the world.

"Zealots" is how the קנאים are usually translated. They're most (in)famous for burning the grain sheds in Jerusalem during the siege in 70 and forcing the rest of the divided factions to try a do or die attack against the Romans.

you know what I've noticed about 4chan?

dumbasses looking for replies by asking loaded questions.

let me explain to you how it works OP.

take this, "Is a carrot a vegetable?"

that is the hypothetical thread. you as OP, then looks up the requirements for vegetables, and compares it to the qualities of the carrot. you follow me?

ok, then, you find the inconsistencies in the definition, and THEN YOU MAKE THE FUCKING THREAD.

get it?
