What Nietzsche Found Out: Why Jesus Wasn't Christian

What if the man who inspired Christianity wouldn't recognize the religion built in his name? What if Jesus's actual teachings were so radical that the institution claiming to represent him had to reshape, reinterpret, and sometimes reverse them entirely? In this video, we explore Friedrich Nietzsche's most controversial discovery: Jesus wasn't Christian.
Nietzsche spent years studying the historical Jesus versus institutional Christianity and found something disturbing. The wandering Jewish teacher who challenged religious authorities, ate with outcasts, and preached radical forgiveness bears little resemblance to the doctrines, hierarchies, and power structures built in his name. Christianity as we know it wasn't founded by Jesus. It was constructed by people who came after—people with very different agendas.
We'll examine the specific contradictions between Jesus's message and Christian doctrine, trace how his teachings were institutionalized and inverted, and explore what it means to actually follow Jesus rather than follow Christianity. This isn't about faith versus atheism. It's about recognizing the difference between a teacher's radical message and the empire that claimed his legacy.
If you've ever felt the church doesn't reflect what Jesus actually taught, Nietzsche explains why.
