Jesus (unwittingly) had armies killing and subjugating people in his name to spread his influence, and promising impossible rewards. Jesus isn't popular because people lived his practice.
- jorgesborges 8y agoI'm admittedly not an expert in this area but my point is that Jesus didn't write anything down or intellectualize his teaching: he led by example. That was the foundation of his influence. The subsequent centuries of writing and hermeneutics over his life and teaching is another matter entirely.
