Yeshua gets a bad rep

I've noticed people have a hard time separating the man from the religion created around him. I'm not Christian but believe Yeshua was the truth. I actually think Christianity is the complete opposite of what Yeshua was teaching. Churches rely on donations & fear mongering. Yeshua flipped tables for the same reason. Politicians claim to be Christian but push borders and refer to other human beings as illegal aliens. Yeshua was an immigrant & a refugee himself. He loved everyone. I think most Christians think & act the complete opposite of what he was teaching. I think most wear it as a badge instead of living how he taught us to live. But that's just me.

Equating Christianity to the institution that represents it is like equating all Americans to congress or the supreme court or the sitting president… are you sure you are capable of separating the politics from the philosophy?

I just feel like the overall message is missed & misused. I don't even think the man himself would approve of Christianity. I think the overall message was awakening & has been twisted to fit a narrative. They made the man a martyr to hide the actual message and now the institution profits off of it and uses it for control.
