Was Jesus an apostate or Jesus is being used by Pagan Christianity?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الحمدلله رب العالمين والصلوة والسلام على اشرف الانبياء وسيدالمرسلين نبينا محمد صل ا لله عليه وعلى آله واصحابه وازواجه اجمعين - امابعد

All the praises and thanks be to Allaah, Sustainer of the Universe, and blessing and salutation to be the most distinguish of the Messengers and foremost among the Prophets, our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allaah be on him and on his wives, children and Companions.

 

Jesus was a Jews, so we are told. This would mean that Jesus was well aware of Jewish Laws and Customs, as the gospel according to Matthew {5:17-19} also confirms this, which is as follows:

 

5:17

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

5:18

I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen; will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

5:19

Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

 

 

Romans were the occupiers and the rulers of the holy land during that the time of Jesus, who according to Matthew 5:17 (above) explicitly said that he (Jesus) came to fulfill the law of the prophets, namely the Laws of Moses. Several of these Laws of Moses advocate Holy War, the killing of unbelievers and apostates. So Jesus was well versed of what Jewish law commands Jews to live by, and even according to the gospel he explicitly said he had not come to cancel this law.

 

Therefore, the irony of Jesus being claimed by the Christians as so-called Jew, Jewish Messiah, seed of David, Son of God and/or God incarnate; is that:

 

  1. Jesus never uttered words against Roman occupiers and/or occupation.
  2. Jesus never talked about freedom of Jews.
  3. Jesus rejected Judah’s pleas for struggle against Roman occupation and liberating the Jews.

 

That would lead us to ask the most logical question to the Christians that why their so-called Son of God and/or God incarnate {100% God and 100% human} would abandon his allegedly “chosen people” (the Jews) and let them live under the bondage of Romans.? Jesus not only remained mute rather participating, to be exact leading the Jews as an alleged so-called Jewish Messiah; in the holy war against Romans to liberate alleged God’s chosen people (the Jews). Jesus adding insult to injury advised contrary to that by telling the Jews to pay Jizyah to the Roman, as we read in the New Testament,

 

Jesus commanded to pay Jizyah جزية to Caesar, as we read in the New Testament,

 

Matthew 22:17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar‘s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar‘s; and unto God the things that are God’s.

Mark 12:16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar‘s.

Mark 12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar‘s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.

Luke 20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

Luke 20:24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar‘s.

Luke 20:25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar‘s, and unto God the things which be God’s.

 

Now the most important question is that why would Jesus abandon his Jewish religion for something like Christianity that he never preached, nor practiced and does not exist yet? We know that there is no evidence that Jesus was an apostate. It is the polytheist (Gentile) Christianity that has been using Jesus as its figurehead since past 2000 years.
