Line 7:
Yeshua, supposed son of a carpenter (or joiner) named Yosef and a young woman (possibly a virgin) named Maryam, born in Nazareth (or Bethlehem) in Roman Israel, some time between 8 BC/BCE and 6 AD/CE. He began preaching in Palestine aged around thirty. His message was mainly of love, peace, mercy, kindness, charity, forgiveness and compassion, and he is said to have performed several miracles. Accused of defying Mosaic law, he was executed by crucifixion in Jerusalem around 30 AD/CE.
 
In addition to being the founder of [[Useful Notes/Christianity|Christianity]], and second-'biggest' prophet in [[Useful Notes/Islam|Islam]], Christians believe that Jesus Christ (from ''Christos'', "annointed", from the Hebrew word ''Messiah'') is no less than the Son of [[God]] as well as being [[God in Human Form|an aspect of God Himself]]. The New Testament of the Christian Bible says He was crucified by Roman procurator Pontius Pilatus after being betrayed by Judas Iscariot (Yehudah of Kerioth/Yehudah the Sicarius), but returned from the dead 3 days later. Muslims dismiss the idea that any human can be the Son of God or an aspect of God, but do believe that Jesus (whose name they translate as Isa) was born of a virgin mother and will someday [[Second Coming|return to Earth]]. They also believe that Jesus did not die on the cross, as God intervened to prevent it, carrying Jesus's physical body to Heaven. [[The Bible|The whole Bible]] [[Your Mileage May Vary|(or for some only the second half, depending on your views)]] is mostly about Him, His life, His sayings, and His deeds ... if you're not [[Useful Notes/Judaism|Jewish]]. But then you would not have the Bible, but the ''Tanakh.''
