People need to ask themselves.
Why is it so many religions and groups hate Jesus.
I'm not asking, I'm telling you to figure it out on your own.
Once you understand this, more begins to make sense.

I said it already in this thread. Jesus already came back a second time.
The message of Jesus was already spread.
Imperfect men want to rule over imperfect men.
Their lies are the illusion we live in currently.
They don't want Jesus's message spread because then they are not 'god'.
Imperfect man thinks he can be god.
They will spread their message to your children which they call kids.
I can go on and on but it falls on the deaf & blind.
Very well said.
Most people refuse to even "ask themselves" because it requires you to admit "you don't know shit". It requires you to question your own "core set of beliefs" which is what people can't do. It's uncomfortable and they like the "illusion" they created.
Like you said a person has to be willing to do some research. Just like any field/discipline of study you can't come to "conclusions" if you don't actually study the raw data and in the case of "religion/spirituality/philosophy" it is the same. Not reading the foundations of "modern religion" and a good portion of those accompanying texts/scriptures forfeits your ability to make a genuine opinion on such "matters".
Jesus Christ was a physical human being just like everyone else but his message is what immortalized him. At a time when few could read and write he was able to unify through his "word" alone. When he physically threw the money lenders out of the temple for "pedaling gold/silver" in a "place of god" he sent a direct message to the most powerful leaders of that time who subsequently had him crucified.
He was not the first person to say "I am God" or "You are God" it had been stated for a thousand years prior throughout early Hinduism and on to Buddhism. He said it in a way EVERYONE could understand. He made it relatable to people who spoke in different tongues and that's why he is known as a "great spiritual teacher" in eastern philosophy/religion.
That's why many hate him as you stated. He stole their "illusory" power over the masses by showing all people that the "power of God" dwelled within all beings. Not just him. All beings.
I have a profound respect for Jesus Christ because although I was raised Catholic I didn't quite "know him" and so I took it upon myself to study how every other culture/religion on Earth "saw him". After doing all of that I then finally understood that other religions had an even more profound respect/appreciation for him then the religions that were built around him. Even the people/religions who hate him to this very day must "acknowledge him".
Many people believe in Jesus Christ but very few take the time to truly know him.
