What would Jesus do?

Jesus was a Palestinian with a religion combining ancient Egyptian (Judaism) and Greek, with undoubtedly a few Italian inspired ideas. It is hard to say, but given his own people turned to Islam, Jesus may actually have preferred Islam to “Judaism”. That is because modern judaism is no more ancient than Christianity or Islam. Modern Judaism is just another “modern” religion invented out of “temple-judaism” that existed around the time of Jesus. All three “modern” religions rejected “temple-judaism” which was more like Ancient Egyptian religion than modern Judaism.

Also like Christianity modern Judaism is based on Greek ideas like the Synagogue – a Greek word for gathering. In other words the idea of a “congregation” was a synagogue and that was a dramatic departure from real temple-judaism which was based on worshipping the one temple.

And I don’t see a lot of commonality with his own religious teachings and hierarchical “Christian religion” … although the same criticism probably holds of both modern Islam and Judaism.

I think Jesus would take a look at the religions claiming all to be the modern version of his own (Greek ideas adapting temple-judaism) and reject the lot of them. But also he would see them each as somehow improving on the temple-judaism of his time. He’d probably have a religious affiliation like the Beetles … rejecting all conventional established “religions” and seeking something better.

But, would he reject the Palestinians as he own people? They do not speak the same language (Greek & Aramaic), but he would recognise the faces.

My guess: he would probably get very heavily involved in modern religious politics. Probably in Palestine and probably on the side of the Palestinians. He would probably see the US as the equivalent of the Roman empire and the Israelis as the equivalent of the colluding regime that put him to death.

He would very likely fit in better with the Palestinian culture than the (European) Israelis.

Conclusion

If Jesus were to suddenly appear … as a man in his 30s, and able to communicate (all stories need magic). Then he would fit in best with his own people the Palestinians and certainly start working for them like Princess Di just before her assassination.

Of course, he might not last long. If Jesus did “return” Israel would send hellfire and bombs to reign down on any group, western, islamic, Chinese, that dared to shelter him.

But, if he did survive the Israeli attacks, he would support Palestinians, but not Islam. Instead he is very likely to try to convert them to a new version of Judaism based on the street religion of his own time (not the massively altered modern “Judaism”).

That new religion would probably look a bit like someone had taken Christianity, Judaism and Islam and mixed them all together. Probably with a dash of “beatle’s religion” added to spice it up. And, it would lack the “structure” of modern religions … who knows this “Jesusism” could take off … but like them all, the bureaucrats would eventually take over.

Political influence of the returning Jesus

I doubt Jesus would see himself as the real “Messiah” of the old Testament, but I bet he would understand the political advantage of others seeing him as such. So, I doubt he would quash suggestions he was the Messiah, but would probably respond to questions of  that nature with something like “god knows”.

The US/CIA/Mossad would immediately run a huge propaganda campaign to destroy Jesus’ credibility. First a mega drive to ignore him, then attack him … all the basic approaches their bots use on social media. But, all that would do is to drive him to prominence.

The returning Jesus would ignite the world. All the Abrahamic religions would be divided. “Traditionalists” (roughly “right”) would reject him. “Beatlists” ( something like “left”) would embrace him. Jesus would unite many factions against the Israelis and force them to give up much Palestinian land, and ironically finally give peace to that region. But, I suspect he would divide all the Abrahamic religions, leading to perpetual long term religious wars.

Russia might embrace Jesus, in order to undermine the US and its Israeli stooges. So, the US would undoubtedly use all its control over the internet to attack Jesus … making him very popular in Asia and Africa.

So, likely the old Christian “church” would divide into two versions. One that rejected the “second coming” of Jesus, the other that embraced the new messiah. Almost certainly, the Israelis would eventually get to Jesus turning him into a literally martyr, possibly long before he had time to fully develop his own religious ideas. So, he own version of religious teaching would be adopted by those around him and they would create the new religion of “jesusism”  … which if my logic holds, might have a lot of Russian Orthodox Christian ideas. Enough that Russia could eventually adopt the new “Jesusism”?
