This time of the year you see alot about jesus christ I would have to say I disagree with alot of christians who say he was god.He was cursed on a tree as the old testament states, his own followers denied and abandoned him at that crucial hour.According to jewish scholar from vandrbilt university the messiah was understood by jews that he would usher in the messianic age somehow.But she also states and she sites the prophet Isaiah in a short amount of versesthat the messiah would enter in a peaceful existence for humanity to live in. her name is Amy Jill Levine since his death didn`t do that she feels he has no right or his followers to call him self messiah.I t was one big hoax perpetrated on gullible people.most of whom were illiterate. The world is a better place without any religion.
