Per the "Colonizer Jesus," I can't say I agree or disagree because this character is invented. I understand what the narrator is trying to say but it's just gibberish really.
So, Historical Jesus? Well, I disagree with pretty much all of it...
1) I can't say he was brown skin - there are Caucasians in the Middle East. He could have been white. That's not proven or disproven.
2) I agree; he was Jewish(Hebrew).
3)I don't know what that means. He was colonized by Rome? He lived in a Roman Providence so I guess that's partially correct but I don't like the way it's worded.
4)Justice through Restoration? No I don't agree with that. There will also be retribution.
5) No, I think the bible is clear that he was killed by the Pharisees & the Jewish religious establishment. The church didn't kill Jesus... He invented the Church. The only Church would have been his disciples at the time - so that doesn't even make sense.
6) True. I think Jesus is a friend to whomever accepts him.
7) Again, True.

10) He was a traveler & minister, but from what we know, his father was a carpenter in Nazareth and a well respected man so I doubt he was homeless.
11) The Catholics would argue that Jesus had no brothers based on the doctrine of Immaculate Conception. However, it's more than likely Jesus did have siblings. There are several verses referring to "brother of Jesus" or "Sister of Jesus," James is called "the lord's brother," but it's not clear if this is meant in a literal sense so there is objection. You could also speculate that perhaps Jesus had a sister who was married at the wedding at Cana. The fact that Mary was concerned with the wine at the wedding indicates she had a responsibility to provide the wine.
Some even say that Jesus himself was married to Mary Magdalene. I don't see why a man of his age would not be married. Yes, he is the lord, but he was lord in the flesh - therefore, he had earthly desires. Abraham was married; Moses was married. I don't see why Jesus couldn't have been married.
12) non-violent in the sense that he preferred peaceful means as a solution rather than using force/violence

Aside from the bible, there is as much evidence that Jesus existed as there is that Muhammad or Buddha existed. Where do you think the religion came from? Roman historians wrote about Jesus, so did first century Christians.
