4. Jesus may have been white. May have been straight, but was certainly NOT a Christian.

As a laborer from a small village he would have probably been illiterate and probably married. There is very little mention of him in history. except for a very questionable bit from Josephus.

From the description given by the disciples, he was a pious Jew who wanted to reform the corrupt leaders of the temple.


To the leaders of the temple (the Sanhedrin) saw him as a another small town blasphemous trouble maker. They couldn't kill him because he was a jew so they asked the Romans to do the dirty work..which they did.
