Many of the "teaching" I grew up with focus on ideas like self sacrifice and "bearing your personal crosses". In that context Jesus's sacrifice of his life is the ultimate ideal that we should strive for.

Do you think this was Jesus's message?

Are you under the opinion that the Romans wouldn't have censored/edited out the inconvenient portions of the Bible?

Don't you think it's surprising that there isn't a book of Jesus? He had ample followers and the means.

Some of the apostles even have books to their names.

IIRC: The Romans changed the date of the Sabbath (Saturday) to suit their cultural priorities (Sun God Sunday).

The Jews already had Saturday, i.e. the seventh day, the day God rested. The Christians got Sunday and then the Muslims got Friday because that was all that was left.

The original Christians were also Jews.

You're actually arguing the exact point I was making.

Keep holy the Sabbath.

Like I said before, I never took any if it seriously.
