Jesus was a “trouble maker.” He was a great Jew, but created a lot of problems between the Jewish sects and the Romans. If you want an example, he denigrated the money lenders at the Temple, chastising them for dealing with earthly affairs. The truth is that the money lenders facilitated Jews who came from different locations to pay for their sacrifices at the temple.

Additionlly. the communities at Qumran were waiting for the Messiah—but the name of Jesus of Nazarath is NEVER nemtioned.

Jesus was not the Messiah. (How about Menacham Schemsin?)

Jesus never caused problems between Jews and Romans. Jesus drew attention to the hypocrisy of some Jewish leaders using Jewish law and tradition. He also drew attention to how certain Jewish leaders twisted and subverted Jewish law.

Your defense of money lenders as ‘facilitators’ inside the temple is laughable. It renders you clown-like.

Your reference to Qumran is irrelevant and has no bearing on your wishful conclusion.

You might have more luck pushing CE/BCE on the young until of course they are wise enough to know the sham of it.

You mean Schneerson?
