Jesus was a jewish man living in Israel under Roman rule. He was a peasent who lived a hard life of poverty and later claimed to be the messiah, to which the Romans later killed him.
He would have had darker skin and darker hair, probably curly, he was also short, especially compared to our time and people of semitic ancestry are shorter on average than other ethnic groups. He spoke Hebrew and Aramac, he kept the Jewish traditions by going to Synagouge, celebrating Pasach ect...
I think he was inspired by God, as there he does have some good words of wisdom and a good message. But I do not believe he was the messiah or the messenger of God.
In Jewish teachings, the messiah will be one born of a normal birth, will be of the house of David, will rebuild the Temple, and will unite the world and bring in the final days and the resurrection. He will not be of virgin birth or anything like that.
But that's just the jewish view. I respect the views of Christians and Muslims as well.
You can't have this view and respect my Islamic view of Jesus. With matters of faith, you can't possibly respect the different view of another faith on the same matter. All you can do is "to each his own". I find it kind of absurd when people claim they respect the views of other religions while in fact their religions tell them these people are wrong and doomed...etc.My religious views don't teach that Muslims are doomed or wrong.....one does not have to be a Jew to get to Olam Haba (The world to come) or "heaven" (Jews believe in heaven but in a different way). One does not have to be from or convert/adopted into the Tribe of Israel to earn God's favor, a Gentile just has to follow the Noahide laws which are written on every man's heart and soul.
I do respect Christians and Muslims, you don't have to agree with them to respect somebody. Only fundamentalists would have an issue, only fundamentalists think they're the only ones going ot heaven. There are many Christians for instance that believe God has a salvation plan for all groups and non Christians will go to heaven too.
I'm sure there are some Muslims who think the same way.
Olam Haba = Alame hava? anyone?
