Learned how to write, so he could write his own definitive autobiography.
Just track down a scribe, way faster.
5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
Story says he knew how to write (historically, more dubious)
Probably appeared to Paul in person before ascension, because fuck Paul sounds like a grifter.
Guy who killed a bunch of christians until they became too popular: “g-guys! Trust me! I will invent catholicism and be the true successor of Jesus!”

i simply would have established communism
Hang out with more lepers and prostitutes
and arm them
Polymorph into a bird and fly the fuck away. Jesus knew magic, man USE IT.
At which point? I'm guessing the crucifixion but it'd be a sick way to end the sermon on the mount or wrecking the temple.
When the fuzz started breathing down on his neck, peace out on those roman fools.
I probably would have existed since I'm pretty sure the Jesus everyone talks about is pretty much a myth (probable) or an amalgamation of traits from other real people (possible).
there were probably a lot of cool Judean resistance fighters that we'll probably never know anything about
And other myths (probable).
Didn’t non biblical/christian romans attested to Jesus’ crucifixion? He was real, but he was Joseph Smith/L Ron Hubbard plus 3000 years to obfuscate his activities
I don't know nearly enough to wade into the discussion but I've definitely seen credible scholars say that he was certainly a real guy and other credible scholars say that he was certainly not a real guy sooo 
As a true centrist I think half of Jesus existed. The crucifixion must've looked real weird
I mean there were thousands of guys calling himself the messiah back then. Thousands of guys getting crucified for the same thing. Jesus being one of the thousands isn’t far fetched. I’m just curious how he managed to be more charismatic than the others. There’s more evidence to suggest he’s just a guy than there is evidence to suggest his existence is purely fictional
i know little myself but "certainly not a real guy" does not seem like a serious position (nor does "Certainly a real guy" for that matter but less so)
what i've heard is that if jesus were any other guy, the level of information we have about him would be considered enough to assume he very likely existed in some form. but since he's the guy people get real weird about proving or disproving
From what I've read (and it's been a while) I don't recall ever reading non biblical accounts of Jesus from the time of his supposed life. We know that a church that appears in the bible during the time of Jesus was built some time after he allegedly died so that's already... problematic. Some scholars have pointed out that Jesus got a lot of juice in the years after he was shooting bushes with laser eyes and raising the dead and then resurrected by his dad who is also himself - but to me that's like saying since I see a lot of Garfield movies, comics and coffee mugs in 2024 that therefore Garfield is or was a real cat because no one was pimping Garfield before he entered the zeitgeist as a character beloved by the commonfolk.
I dunno. Just my opinion.

Use my knowledge of advanced prosthetics (omniscience) and carpentry (trade school) to construct a set of breakaway arms and legs, hiding my real limbs in a secret compartment in my cross.
I would have not tried to reform the local religious institution. that's a surefire way to get got.
I'm more of a lay-in-the-cut complainer and eye roller. gesture subtly toward the guy in the big hat with my chin and mutter, "this fuckin' guy."
live to be like 85, smokin' fat doinks, carve some shit outta wood maybe.
Wouldn't've died.
I wouldn't have gotten executed, skill issue tbh
Oh yeah they had like a bunch of soldiers with spears and swords and shit? Yeah well just don't get caught loser
I'd have just killed all the soldiers with my divine power or whatever
protracted people's war
Protracted Judean People's War
I would have stopped the splitting of the Judean People’s Front with the People’s Front of Judea.
I'd have them all crucified for splitting with The Popular Judean Front
honestly i think he did pretty good
i guess it'd be nice to try to explicitly say communism is cool constantly but idk if it would matter much in the end
I woulda beem too busy shitting to do much
I do not presume to know better than the Lord
This is why you don’t rule over a legion of demons, loser

I would simply invent a machine gun. The prophecy says that I needed to sacrifice my life for humanity. Doesn’t say that I needed to be a meek ass pussy
Probably just shot some hoops with the boys.
The human body is partially water.
I would turn that into wine if you attack me.
I also would not have claimed to be the child of god.
Jesus didn't claim to be the child of God. He claimed he was God ("I am THAT I Am") and when someone suggested he was the child of God, he didn't deny it.

I would've looked straight into the camera and said I support LGBTQ people and then made out with Paul.
I wouldn't have sieged Leningrad, just surge rushed it and took it immediately.
More seriously I would have done the thing Mohammed did and insisted upon not translating my word, so that it would be harder to corrupt (still allows for shit like including a bunch of discussion about my words, but at least the words are still there untouched). Also I'd hire a scribe or something to write things down in my time, so it would be definitive. And I'd talk a lot more about how being rich doomed you to hell, like he did in that book that's no longer part of the main canon

Stay in India
Jesus didn't come back to life he was just a big fan of "The Prestige"
I would have organised my followers into an army to liberate Palestine from the Romans.
That didn't work out very well when they tried it a few years later in all fairness.
34 “Do not suppose that I [Jesus] have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. (Matthew 10:34)
36 [Jesus] said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. (Luke 22:36)
In the story he tried, didn't work unfortunately
Like the Judean Peoples' Front?
Bah the Judean Peoples' Front is a bunch of opportunists and revisionists, not like the Peoples' Front of Judea!
if it were me it wouldn't have gone down like that idk
one mom, two dads and twelve boyfriends.
Gonna keep the vow of celibacy stuff so that when the priests and monks and shit show up in heaven I can be like "Nah I was just fucking with you guys, sex is awesome actually lmao."
