I agree with everything but the fact that, of what is reported of Jesus, he was very anti-wealth, over and above what people need to get by and that a actual christianity is incompatible with capitalism.
To me, thats the part that certain types of “christians” need to be metaphorically slapped round the face with.
“Actual” Christianity likely wasn’t fully developed until well after his death. The earliest gospel was written 40-ish years after his death. I imagine the historic Jesus would be very surprised by some of the things he apparently said.
Jesus was a Jew. He saw himself as Jewish, following the Jewish faith; as did the disciples.
Christianity itself developed over the following generations., and so did the doctrine and its teachings. It didn’t spring fully formed into existence.
Also… to be “fully human”…. Are you so sure he wasn’t a hypocrite? There’s always been people using religion for their own selfish desires.

By actual Christianity, I mean Christianity in line with the things he was reported to have said, as opposed to ones that directly go against them.
Maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t. Theyre still the things he’s reported to have said though.
