Jesus and his followers were members of the Essenes, a small Jewish faction that followed different beliefs, they invited people to join their group for a three year period, then at the end of this time they chose who could stay, they also adopted all the orphan children, hence Jesus words of bring the little children to him, Jesus was the righteous Teacher of the Essenes, the Chosen One, they were also healers and attempted to raise the dead, they were also vegetarians and abhorred the killing of animals for sacrifice, they were what the greeks would later call ,"Christians" my views, yours?
