The more I read the Old Testament and then compare it with the New, the more I am convinced that Jesus’ disciples thought, during his life, that he was there to re-establish the Kingdom of Israel. After he died, the stories were taken up by later acolytes who may have thought he would yet return and protect them from the Romans. Finally, the stories were taken up by later readers and “re-interpreted” to fill current needs. Rather like liberals “interpret” the Constitution to say whatever they want it to say.

Wow! Men who are atheists, believers and agnostics have studied these books for centuries and the vast majority of them would never come to the conclusions you have. Also, the very people in the bible who followed Christ did not have your understanding. You must have so much more awareness than all those scholars who have made it their life work to study and understand.
