Jesus was sent to earth to correct the mistakes that non believers and the Jewish people were making. He was not a Christian because Christianity didn't exist. The split between the Jewish people and Christians was a split by man. Some listened and believed what Jesus preached and became Christians. Some didn't and remained Jews. Just like when Christians split between catholic an protestant beliefs. It was a split orchestrated by man not Jesus. Jesus did not want to split away from his people (the jews) he wanted them to see what they were doing wrong and change. Those who did became Christians. I sure cant speak for Jesus but id bet he didn't want Christianity to split into a hundred different churches either. There lies our weakness. We split into so many different sects and fight so much over small issues that it leaves us weak when confronted by non Christians. Can you imagine the power we would have toward making earth a better place to live if we had a united front. We would out number the liberals that want to run this country. They wouldn't have a chance to control any part of it. While we argue over what communion means or what are works ect. they are destroying Christianity a little at a time and soon it will be only in the history books. While we get weaker and weaker muslims, atheists ect are getting stronger and stronger.
