Does anyone consider that maybe he was murdered and that he did not go "willingly" but they said that in order for us to buy the religion and then feel incredible guilt for it? That often goes through my mind, alot lately infact, I have alot of conflicts with this...anyone else?

PghPaNative,
Good ?, But Of course the question, Having to do with the "Divinity" of Jesus of Nazareth,. Not the Historical Jesus.
But BTW, I have NO idea if Jesus was/is "Divine". I have no way of knowing unless my creator tell s me... (which has NOT happened Yet)...

Nope I have no problem believing He went willingly, died, rose on the third day, He is my savior, my friend, my comforter and because of what He did I will live forever with Him in Heaven. I am not trying to make anyone believe this, just stating what I believe.
Well, Jesus sure made quite a name for himself and carved out his name in history.
Who would have thought a carpenters son from Nazareth would be Talked about 2 thousand years after he lived...
He was definitely poor by todays standards. and as most Sociologists know, record keeping for the poor has NEVER been a priority. For instance: Finding food, shelter, safety is more important.
Josephus of Arimetheus a jewish historian wrote of the preacher Jesus, yet none of his texts predated AD 135.
In the 1920's in what is now Yugoslavia a text was discovered in a Byzantine Monastery predating the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 135 in which Jesus was by Josephus as a political revolutionary with religious overtones (not unknown among the Jews.
It is thought that the church leaders outside Israel, not wanting to suffer the same fate as the Jews and the Jewish Christains, changed what Josephus wrote from Jesus as a political revolutionary with religious overtones, to Jesus the man of peace, thus turning the wrath of the Romans away.
Spelled arimatheus wrong I thinks.. to busy to fix it.
