But I never said that Jesus was a political figure, in the sense of being a politician. I said that He was an activist- and provided demonstrable evidence of his activism- whose activism put Him directly in the crosshairs of the Roman state who ordered and carried out his execution. Whether Jesus was a social activist or a political activist seems to me to be a distinction without a difference considering that he was executed by the state either way.I probably should have said "political activist", which is what you made reference to in separate parts. I don't think he was a political figure. He was a prophet, preaching the end of times and the things he thought would get people saved (grace, compassion, helping your fellow man, etc), whose actions sometimes caused him to intersect with politics and politicians.
