- **His father** is sometimes theorized, by historians, to have been a roman soldier Tiberius Julius Abdes Pantera to whom point some of the clues and whose grave has been found in Germany.

- Bible gives his **genealogy back to Adam**: Luke (however with some disagreement with Matthew) recounts all ancestors of Jesus back to God (who created Adam) -- Jesus is 77th in row here.
|

- His **profession** probably wasn't a "carpenter" in the sense of "working mainly with wood", he was more likely a mason/stonecutter/builder -- the translation in Bible is firstly inaccurate and using wood as a material wasn't that common back then. He was likely a very poor laborer whose life conditions may have been even worse than that of some slaves living in bigger cities.

- **He was a [Jew](jew.md)**, he was circumcised, read Jewish scriptures, believed in Jewish God, kept to Jewish rituals and traditions -- it's obvious but often overlooked fact that's been further obscured by the church and Christian culture. There was no other religion than various branches of Judaism back then, he didn't come with the idea of starting a brand new religion, he rather saw himself as a Jewish messiah foretold by the Jewish texts, walking what he believed to be the true way of the religion that was all around back then.

- **He was a [Jew](jew.md)**, he was circumcised, read Jewish scriptures, believed in Jewish God and prophecies, kept to Jewish rituals and traditions -- it's an obvious but often overlooked fact that's been further obscured by the church and Christian culture. There was no other religion than various branches of Judaism back then, Jesus didn't come with the idea of starting a brand new religion, he rather saw himself as a Jewish messiah foretold by the Jewish texts, walking what he believed to be the true way of the religion that was all around back then and which he was part of. Today's Christianity is probably something Jesus wouldn't even embrace -- parallels to this kind of evolution of religions may very well be seen in the world of non-religious ideologies as well, for example see the hostility and differences between [free software](free_software.md) and [open $ource](open_source.md) that emerged just in recent decades: the [founder](rms.md) of free software himself highly disapproves of open source, open source already breaks many of the essential premises and rules of original free software movement, despite it all being very recent and having everything recorded, even in live memories of people -- now imagine this evolution stretched to 2000 years, with no reliable records of the original events, with politics and corruption mixed in and so on.

- **Jesus is supposed to return** and judge the people: this is known as the Second Coming and is hinted on in the Bible, though the details on the date or even the nature of the event are unclear and interpreted differently. Before the second coming **a number of antichrists, or false prophets, are to appear**.

- There are highly **controversial theories that he had kids** with Mary Magdalene and that his bloodline survives until today (Dan Brown has famously written some books about it).

**Is Jesus God?** Or was he just his son? Or is God and Jesus the same? This seems to not actually be easy to answer, different people will tell you different things, some point to passages in Bible where they believe he literally says he is the God, others say the translation is not precise or even if it is that it doesn't matter (anyone can say really say he's a God) etcetc. The whole thing around holy trinity and so on is not easy to resolve objectively (some Muslims have even been entertained by this fact that Christians can't even get to agree on who their god is), but basically most Christians pray to Jesus, call him "our Lord and Savior" and generally treat him as if he is the same as God, so we can really see him that way.
