He wouldn't have even been the only "messiah" for whom such claims were made, and the teachings ascribed to him weren't even unique. Here is a video from the Esoterica Youtube channel which tries to present a historical view of Jesus grounded in contemporary Judaism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82vxOBbYSzk | ||
