If that's your point I agree with it. But then if ti is easy to recognize
that Jesus didn't get any merit points in the eyes of the Jewish leadership of
that time, why is it so hard for people to agree with me when I say Jesus'
church is still not awarded any merit points by the Jewish leadership of our time.

If you study the effects of biblical law on populations (the law was written
for a group, not for individuals) you can see the psychology and anthropology
of the law.
"Versions" of Jesus have nothing to do with it. There is only one "version"
of a scientific truth.

If the biblical law is for one people, then in fulfillment of God's promise
to Abraham, Jews must inherit the earth. They are specifically instructed how
to do this:

. You shall observe my institutions and my laws: the man who keeps them shall
have life through them. I am the Lord.

The above line appears with the levitical prohibitions which raise birth
rates in a population when dutifully observed.
Thes prohibitions are also part of Christianity except liberal Christianity
is dispensing with them.
The scientific result: Christian population is dropping.
If my people observe the levitical prohibitions their population increases.
If your people do not, your population decreases. Who is heir to the biblical
promise? That is the question. Will it be Christians or Jews? Whose population
is to inherit the earth? The pronatal religiously conservative population of
orthodox Jewish communities or the non-breeding non-traditional family
structures of Christian liberalism?
There is the science in the religion.
It has nothing to do with hindsight or my "version" of things.
