Jesus' Family life: where Joseph ''Jesus' father'' was a carpenter, making their family a part of the middle class. Mary ''Jesus' mother'' was a teenager who was "promised" by her parents to be married to Joseph ''at the time when Jesus was considered to be miraculously conceived''. and during their marriage, and Jesus' birth, Mary and Joseph had other children as well.and also what stands out is that; -the romans government practised syncretismand accepting all religious beliefs -The Jews held much distrust and often hatred for the Roman Empire -The Jews understood the world to be divided into two types of people -The Jewish people accepted their freedom in both their governing system, and in maintaining their own traditions -The Jewish religious and governing system was divided between two parties: the Pharisees " the "people's party'

April 10, 2007 My Brief Summary of Jesus Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth, He lived a traditional Jewish life working as a carpenter. He begun his teaching and display of record miracles.Over a 3 years period, despite his effort to keep a low profile, Jesus reputation spread nation wide. Jesus key messages included; God loves you and is with you, Love one another, Immense value of each person, Good news; Kingdom of God has come to earth, Reality of judgement to heaven or hell and God forgives those who ask. Jesus most controversial act was that he repeatedly to claiming that he was God, the Roman Government were asked by the religious leader to execute him. JESUS was brutally tortured and then hung by his hands which were nailed to wooden beam''cross''.This method of execution restricted the airflow to his lungs, killing him in three hours.he raised from the dead three days later. To many, this was conclusive proof that Jesus` claims to be God were real. Then Jesus returned to Jerusalem, the city where he was recently executed, he left the earth alive by rising up into the sky.
