Very much not a revolutionary. The Jews wanted him to overthrow the Romans, and he refused to take that path. In fact, he taught "give to Caesar what is Caesar's" instead.

Socialist in what way? He spoke about covetousness plenty, but never recommended it be solved through government action. "Go and sell all you have" was spoken to the rich individual himself.

Brown-skinned? As a Middle-Eastern Jew, that's believable. So I guess you get one out of three.

Figure out how question marks work first, then ask some intelligent questions.

Reddit culture (instant feedback based on an emotional response) enables functionally illiterate people to appear to be intelligent or thoughtful. It’s disgraceful.

The Feeding of the 5,000 is also known as the "miracle of the five loaves and two fishes"; the Gospel of John reports that Jesus used five loaves and two fishes supplied by a boy to feed a multitude. According to Matthew's gospel, when Jesus heard that John the Baptist had been killed, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Luke specifies that the place was near Bethsaida. The crowds followed Jesus on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food."

Jesus said that they did not need to go away, and therefore the disciples were to give them something to eat. They said that they only had five loaves and two fishes, which Jesus asked to be brought to him. Jesus directed the people to sit down in groups on the grass. In Mark's Gospel, the crowds sat in groups of 50 and 100,[1] and in Luke's Gospel, Jesus' instructions were to seat the crowd in groups of 50,[2] implying that there were 100 such groups.

Taking the five loaves and the two fishes and looking up to Heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of broken pieces that were leftover. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, beside women and children. In John's Gospel, the multitude has been attracted around Jesus because of the healing works he has performed, and the feeding of the multitude is taken as a further sign (Greek: σημεῖον) that Jesus is the Messiah, the prophet who (according to the promise in the Book of Deuteronomy (Deuteronomy 18:15) ) is to come into the world" (John 6:14).[3]

As believable as whenever a socialist talks about welfare programs, so yeah.

Yep, just like Hitler was a socialist that really liked pets, art, literature, believed in hard work and helping his own people.

You see, you can associate anyone to almost anything if you only pick certain traits.
 
Tea, Jesus, and Yoga... whitewashed by the globalist lizards to enslave the world. :)

Also, coffee, that's why Starbucks is a logo of a Mermaid... seducer and murderer of sailors, the wandering souls of society.

I dunno, you tell me.


16 And behold, one came and said unto Him, “Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”


17 And He said unto him, “Why callest thou Me good? There is none good but One, that is, God. But if thou wilt enter into Life, keep the commandments.”


18 He said unto Him, “Which?” Jesus said, “‘Thou shalt do no murder; thou shalt not commit adultery; thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not bear false witness;


19 honor thy father and thy mother; and, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.’”


20 The young man said unto Him, “All these things have I kept from my youth up. What lack I yet?”


21 Jesus said unto him, “If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell what thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven; and come and follow Me.”


22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.


23 Then said Jesus unto His disciples, “Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.


24 And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”


25 When His disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, “Who then can be saved?”


26 But Jesus beheld them and said unto them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”


27 Then Peter answered and said unto Him, “Behold, we have forsaken all and followed Thee. What shall we have therefore?”


28 And Jesus said unto them, “Verily I say unto you, that ye that have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man shall sit on the throne of His glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.


29 And everyone that hath forsaken houses or brethren or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold and shall inherit everlasting life.


30 But many that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.



36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”


37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”


38 Then Peter said unto them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.


39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all who are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”


40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, “Save yourselves from this untoward generation.”


41 Then those who gladly received his words were baptized, and that same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.


42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in the breaking of bread and in prayers.


43 And fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.


44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common,


45 and they sold their possessions and goods and divided them among all men, as every man had need.


46 And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,


47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

NO, that was Grigor Strasser, he was in the same party, he was killed in The Night of Long Knifes. Many times on the internet his quotes are represented as if Hitler said them. And yes I have the advantage, that my history teach made me read Mein Kampf, it's pretty bad, but it also clear, how much he hated socialist and Bolshevik party a use their ideas in a sense "look at them, how bad their and their ideas are"..

No, because there were two wings in this party and Hitler killed (in literal sense) that "left-wing" pretty early on, becuase he find their motives despicable. He use this party to gain fame, so he can further spread his ideas. He was very opportunistic.

That's not my point, my point is: you can associate anyone to almost anything if you only pick certain traits

It also extends to misconceptions, wrong understanding and so on.

So when someone says Jesus was the first socialist revolutionary, that's the kind of thing that can be at play here.

Still using Hitler as an example, remove the "socialist" from the description and yet there you have a "pretty nice guy"


You can tell a lot of lies by saying only the truth, it only depends on what you pick.

If I am getting this right, you mean, that you can pick historically important person and projectand validate your own agenda onto that figure? Like Jesus was socialist, because *some bullshit reason*? That's what you meant?

With that said, I don't get the last sentence, so sorry abou that.

You can't say he was brown, though. The Middle East is a diverse place, phenotypically. There are Jews and Arabs who appear white, some are blonde, some appear brown, and some Arabs are even black.

For example, this is a famous Arab (Lebanese) singer: Her eyes are blue.

I'm saying you can pick only the truths that are convenient and distort the idea/person/figure to match your own agenda.

So yes, in short, you can pick only what validates your agenda.
