do you recall the attack on the money changers who were situated in the Temple courtyard. There were people in Judea who VERY VEHEMENTLY did not want them to be there. -----they were of the same political and religious orientation as was Jesus----to wit, PHARISEES. Are you aware of how vehemently the Romans HATED PHARISEES? Of the thousandsI've read it. Nothing is in it about Jesus threatening the Roman Empire in any way.

So preaching replacing the Romans with another kingdom would not seem a threat? Really?I've read it. Nothing is in it about Jesus threatening the Roman Empire in any way.

You haven't read the NT.So preaching replacing the Romans with another kingdom would not seem a threat? Really?
functionally----neither have youYou haven't read the NT.
Actually I read the OT, NT, and a number of books on the subject. You?You haven't read the NT.

PHARISEES-----like Jesus

According to the Gospels.Wasn't Jesus crucified by the Romans?
In the New Testament, Jesus is referred to as the King of the Jews (or King of the Judeans), both at the beginning of his life and at the end. In the Koine Greek of the New Testament, e.g., in John 19:3, this is written as Basileus ton Ioudaion (βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων).Yea, that's great.
What passages in the NT indicate Christ's intentions to overthrow Rome?
This is quite vague. So vague, it misses the point.In the New Testament, Jesus is referred to as the King of the Jews (or King of the Judeans), both at the beginning of his life and at the end.

Romans didn't intend to share power with anyone. The gospels show the empire’s harsh response to perceived opposition. “King Herod resorts to murderous violence to kill the newborn baby who is known as ‘king of the Jews’ (Matthew 2). Herod [Antipas] beheads John the Baptist who has been critical of Herod’s personal morality and political alliances (Matthew 14:1-12).
Jesus presented a challenge to empire—and the empire struck back. In the end, even with his conflicts with the religious leaders, we must remember that Jesus was crucified—the manner of execution used by Rome for political offenders. And he was crucified with the title “King of the Jews” attached to his cross—certainly a political term.
try again-----just get rome out of Judea-----read the book again-----it is very clearYea, that's great.

the islamo-nazi version of the story is----Wasn't Jesus crucified by the Romans?
If you think the Romans cared about the nuances of Jewish theology you're deluded. If someone came to their attention and he was known as the King of the Jews he was dead meat since it was only Rome that appointed kings. The Romans would execute first and ask questions later especially if that someone was quoted as saying (Matthew 10:34–36) "He had come at this time not to bring peace to the earth, but a sword".This is quite vague. So vague, it misses the point.
Throughout the gospels, the object of Jesus' contempt is the temple leadership: the Pharisees and their scribes, the elders, the chief priests. No one else.
These Jews are the hypocrites. They're the brood of vipers, the whitewashed tombs, the wolves in sheeps' clothing, and all the rest. Their temple had become the Synagogue of Satan. In the parables, they were the ones headed toward slaughter. And then they were slaughtered.
Every bit of Christ's contempt was for the Jews and what they had done to Moses and the Prophets.
Where in the NT does Jesus direct any of his contempt toward Rome?
And why would he have directed any of it toward Rome? Don't just say "because the kingdom" or some other such vagary. Rome continued on long after Christ and that generation.
sheeeesh NORG read it again. Thruout the NT the object of contempt by the "writers of the gospels" ---chosen by Constantine----is THEThis is quite vague. So vague, it misses the point.

Evidence? Simply observe history actual. Biblical Isarel was totally destroyed because they rejected Jesus as the Messiah of prophecy. Israel has not existed upon earth since the 1s century. The nation calling itself Israel is but a poor imintation of Biblical Israel. There is no King appointed by God..........there is a govenment 1st appointed not by God but the UN. There are no tribial IDs, no royal priesthood, no living by the Law of Moses but rather by laws invoked by men. Where are the annual animal sacifices at the alter to atone for sin, where are the mandated stonnings of those comitting certain crimes? Truth cannot evolve or it was never truth in the 1st place.What I'm saying is do most Jews agree with the Jesus being crucified? In the religion itself and amongst the jewish population. What do they truly believe?
No, I sure don't. Where did you get that idea? You certainly didn't read it.If you think the Romans cared about the nuances of Jewish theology you're deluded.
Um, nobody actually thought Jesus was king of the Jews. Certainly not Rome. They were mocking him.If someone came to their attention and he was known as the King of the Jews he was dead meat since it was only Rome that appointed kings.
He was talking neither about wielding a sword against Rome nor dividing Rome. Try reading in context. You have read the NT, correct?The Romans would execute first and ask questions later especially if that someone was quoted as saying (Matthew 10:34–36) "He had come at this time not to bring peace to the earth, but a sword".
My point was that Rome wouldn't execute someone because the priests asked them to.No, I sure don't. Where did you get that idea? You certainly didn't read it.
Jesus preached about the coming Kingdom of God. What was to be Jesus' place in that kingdom?Um, nobody actually thought Jesus was king of the Jews. Certainly not Rome. They were mocking him.
The Romans wouldn't have cared what he meant, only what he said and not wanting peace meant war or rebellion.He was talking neither about wielding a sword against Rome nor dividing Rome. Try reading in context. You have read the NT, correct?
sheeeesh NORG read it again. Thruout the NT the object of contempt by the "writers of the gospels" ---chosen by Constantine----is THE
PHARISEES. You remember Constantine----EMPEROR OF ROME and .... you remember the
PHARISEES ------those ANTI-ROME guys that the romans crucified right and left. For the record---the
Pharisees did not control the Temple, ------ROME DID via its proxies
