<<Since we have nothing of "Yeshua's messages" except through

I don't understand this remark. Yeshua was a Jew who attempted to reform
Judaism. He was not a "Christian". Christianity was an evolution of
politically and religiously motivated groups, those who wanted to Hellenize
the area,
those who wanted to graft in to the Torah the Gentiles w/out asking them to
accept Judaism full-blown, etc. Yeshua's messages via the gospels and
apocryphal texts we have bear little resemblance to any contemporary
understanding
or expression of "Christianity", in my opinion. Roman and Greek extrapolation
of the texts formed "Christianity". See Aquinas vs. Augustine.

Since we have nothing of "Yeshua's messages" except through
Christianity, how can there be a highjacking?
