Did Jesus Exist

Did Jesus Exist?

Some say 2000 years ago,
A man called Jesus walked about;
But I say, not as god or indigo, 
But as a medical doctor stout. 

Jesus was an Israeli name then, 
And there maybe was one man found, 
Of that name, with a doctor’s ben,
Who knew the poor, who did abound. 

And I say that big occasions grand, 
Make for good sex, for mind focus, 
So Mary and Joseph had their hand, 
On the country’s population census. 

Something happened like on Star Trek,
When Jim Kirk was born light speed;
All nature and the stars fused in spec,
When the pair felt no frown or creed.

This would’ve produced a bright one, 
A real whacker and the perfect child, 
And so I believe Jesus existed, a son, 
Like some say he did and so tiled. 

I believe he set a stealthy example, 
For other doctors who were for the rich, 
Who became followers of Jesus, ample, 
Endeavouring the Roman gov to stitch.

A doctor’s job is within legislation, 
Within the people’s thinking sphere, 
Not without the gov’s validation, 
Not out with the majority’s ear. 

So I think a man called Jesus Christ,
Was put to death by the people, 
Ignored by the government, heist, 
But loved by a few friends, his steeple. 

But he was taken on by many brothers, 
By the profession, medical and strong, 
By Luke who had rich men as forevers, 
Because he treated their kids, belong. 

He tore society’s norm gown in two, 
Right down the middle plateauxed;
Luke said no to his old way to go, 
Suffered barrelled rejection foretold. 

Luke was key in Jesus’ career and legacy,  
Determined his acceptance, full or part, 
Such that Jesus was thought no fallacy, 
To be accepted with all your full heart. 

This only meant something to his work, 
Not to god or divinity transcendent, 
But because in temples he did lurk, 
So healings were upon god dependent. 

There may be no historical documents, 
Out with his friends witness reports,
But I am content that the populous,  
Was treated medically, had no retorts.

Heavy topic. Neat work. Appreciate amount of resource which was justifiably used to create this remarkable Jesus poem.

Thanks again Jasmine. This is quite a poem, and I’m studying religion, a BTh, with the University of Aberdeen. Some researchers today say Jesus did not exist physically, ever, some say Jesus did merely exist as a man 0-33 (as above), whilst other conservatives say he is historical but also he is god. I say he was a man 0-30, or any until 0-36 depending on other texts like the apocryphal, and that he was not and is not a god.

Sorry, just to be clearer, I don't think Jesus was cool or miraculous, just that he was productive. He was efficient medically and was not a druggy that was always at the local tavern. He may have worn trendy clothes, but I also think he was cool to bring medical treatments to the poor. So you are right Jesus is not cool but was ingenious and industrious, and should never have been painted as a cool surfer dude by some evangelical churches today.
