Were Jesus Christ a man with a strong spiritual side but not the Son
of God as traditionally
understood, he acted as he did because he wanted power. Even so, he
was consistently
on the right side of every major social issue that came up in his
time.

Comments?

Why "...because he wanted power"? That is not the only possible
explanation.

I suggest you read "The Passover Plot" by Hugh Schonfield; first published
in 1965 but you might find it in much more recent paperback.

Been there, done that -

Now try to find the book itself rather than rely on an unreliable
description of it.

I have already read the book.

Last, the Thiering camp says Jesus decided to commit suicide but
survived the crucifixion in
what Jesus took as a Restoration.

Was Jesus divine? Not in the Thiering version.

That wasn't a new idea when Thiering suggested it - in fact it goes back
to the 1st century as an aspect of various 'heresies'.
...

The truth is what matters - not make-believe or hypocrisy.

Let's work from there.
