    2. He had no interest in re- establishing a kingdom created by King David
    3. He did not preach rebellion against Rome
    4. He was not trained as a Rabbi

    (It lists all these reasons on Notes #16)

The second thing i found interesting is that Jesus performed miracles such as Dead girl to life, cured a disease, water to wine, fed a crowd of many, brought back glazers, and walked on water. Another thing I found interesting is that Christians believe that Jesus arose from the dead.
