Jesus of Nazareth is a religious figure held in high regard by Christian humans.
History
The first main schism of "The Church", or "Roman Catholic Church", was in the 11th century. The second main schism happened with the anglicised version of the Bible. It started with the Gutenburg press printing portions of the Bible in English, during the "Printing Revolution". By 1611, the King James Bible was printed with the "Old Testament" and "New Testament".
The "New Testament" of Jesus is so influential, that the Western calendar is based on his life—as a time reference point. This is also true in other religious cultures, such as Islam who base their calendar on Mohammed, and Judaism who base their calendar on Moses.
Christian theologians document Jesus as a religious teacher from the first century CE. Abrahamic and syncretic religions view Jesus as a prophet or deity. The two main doctrinal schims of Jesus, is "Trinity" and "Son of God". He is most prominently featured in the Gospels and apocrypha, and may be mentioned in Islamic Hadith. The Gospels describe Jesus as the Son of God, whereas Islam claims he had no divine nature.
Origins
Jesus appears as the protagonist in the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, living in Galilee and Judea. While his early career was carpentry, he soon became a teacher, teaching in parables and gathering followers. His main teaching concerned love, forgiveness, repentance, and caring for the poor. Other religious teachers fell into conflict with Jesus, detesting the fact that he commonly associated with so-called sinners and opposed some of their traditions. Jesus was ultimately betrayed by one of his own disciples, Judas Iscariot, who sold him out for 30 pieces of silver. Jesus was sentenced to death for crimes he did not commit, crucified on orders of Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect of Judea. Jesus plays a pivotal role in both the Christian and Islamic religions. According to both religions, Jesus will return to Earth to dethrone the malevolent ruler of the Human race. While religious debates over Jesus' true nature persist, most scholars agree that Jesus himself truly existed. Certain relics, such as the Shroud of Turin, have been associated with Jesus.
Jesus is often depicted as a white man with long hair and blue eyes, however, this can't be accurate, as he was born in the Middle East, suggesting he'd have tan skin instead. It is important to note that the image of Jesus as caucasian is of European origin, not supported by the Bible. Jesus presumably had olive-brown skin, brown eyes, short, dark hair, and a stance of about 1.66 meters, typical of Jews of his time.
Ancient aliens
Modern theorists, such as J. J. Benítez, has proposed that Jesus was, or is, an extraterrestrial entity. Due to his divine origins, Jesus may be considered at least partially extraterrestrial in nature by some, due to God technically being an extraterrestrial entity due to existing beyond Earth and before the universe.
Popular culture
Jesus is often depicted as he is in the Bible, commonly with the European image used as his appearance. Exact depictions of Jesus can vary greatly, depending on the genre and scope of the work in question.
In the Prime Earth continuity of DC Comics, Jesus' robes were used to transform Judas Iscariot into the Phantom Stranger.
In the Earth-616 continuity of Marvel Comics, the splinters of the cross that Jesus was crucified on were utilized in Doctor Doom's armor as protection against Dracula. In addition, the three Magi who visited Jesus as a child were aliens who had followed a supernatural phenomenon known as the Star of Bethlehem, giving Jesus a direct connection to extraterrestrials.
Steel Ball Run, the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, involves finding the remains of the "Saint's Corpse," heavily implied to be the body of Jesus Christ, which was located in the continental United States.
