One of my favorite author posed that question in his recent book...what do you think? The author (who at this point will remain nameless) even went on to suggest that not only would Jesus NOT be a Christian in the way that we look at Christianity today but that if he were living among us as he did 2000 years ago, that WE would be plotting to kill him as well. Mmmmmm...think about that won't you? Give me your take...if you dare! You can either post your response here or email me at rdugall@apu.edu.

COMMENT-BODY:I certainly agree that Jesus would not want to be a christian but I don't know that I would necesarily be as quick to agree with the second part.
Christianity has become to say the least a shallow religion. It's been filled with rules and regulations. It's been poluted with speculations that a simple prayer can keep you from burning in hell. I don't even want to be associated with these conceptions.
About the second part. I don't think it's fair to say that we'd be the ones plotting His death. My understanding of the pharasies was that He threatened their wealth and positions. I like to think that I would have bought into His message because it was in essence a beutiful powerful message.
I'd like to hear this authors arguements. I'm interested in reading his stuff.
