I think it's a wolf ticket, if you know what I mean.

Actually, I'm not familiar with that phrase. Whatcha mean?

I see Jesus as being at the core of Judaism.

You're saying he was a devout orthodox practicing Jew, right? And that he was upset with those who'd corrupted the original doctrine of Judaism, yes? If that's so (and I'm not questioning it), then we should be studying and following Judaism to be more like Jesus. Yes? Does Christianity follow the orthodox doctrines of Judaism? No. Then how can Christianity represent the Jewish Jesus? Confused.

I think there is a core message in Christianity and I think it is found in the life of Jesus--not in the preachings of the priesthood, neither of then or of now.
.
Unfortunately, the only (alleged) records we have about Jesus' life and message were written by his 'priests' (the apostles, and Paul). If we are to disregard these priests, what could we know about Jesus message? What other sources do we have besides what they wrote and preached?
