Naturally Jesus thought his father was a god. Augustus was proclaimed "Pontius Maximus" by the Roman senate, which title is presently enjoyed by the Pope. Augustus was the son of Julius Ceasar who was the first military general to become Ceasar of the Roman Empire. Julius Ceasar copied Graccus who demonstrated the power of a man of the people who could attract an army. After Graccus came home from war he promised to give land to his soldiers, saying,
"The wild beasts that Rome over Italy have their dens and holes to lurk in but the men who fight and die for our country enjoy the common air and light and nothing else. It is their lot to wander with their children houseless and homeless over the face of the earth." -Tiberius Graccus, precursor to Julius Ceasar who proved that a powerful revolutionary could raise an army and become dictator.
Jesus was from this line of warrior philosophers and most certainly was aware of the writings of Tiberius Graccus which Jesus quoted when he said, "Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." Luke 9:58.
THAT'S WHY JESUS FREED SACRIFICIAL ANIMALS!
PISO FREED SACRIFICIAL ANIMALS TO PREVENT THE PRAYERS OF PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO INTERFERE WITH PISO'S MURDER OF GERMANICUS WHO WAS STANDING IN HIS WAY.
I found another example of a Roman contender for the title of Ceasar driving away the animals about to be sacrificed! It is a sentence in Book 2 of "The Annals" by Tacitus. It was between 16 A.D. and 19 A.D. that Piso, a rival of Germanicus, successfully poisoned Germanicus to the point that Germanicus was dying and people were sacrificing victims to assure Germanicus' recovery. Piso "went attended by his lictors, drove away the victims placed on the altars with all the preparations for sacrifice, and the festal gathering of the populace of Antioch."
A few days later, after Germanicus had actually died, Piso "received the news with extravagant joy, slew victims, visited the temples, with no moderation in his transports...."
In the first instance, Piso freed the victims of sacrifices to prevent the people's prayers from being answered. In the second instance Piso sacrificed his own victims to celebrate the death of Germanicus.
So we see that at the time of Christ, it was a practice among Romans to stop prayers from being answered by freeing the sacrificial victims.
Only 15 years later we see Christ doing the same thing. He freed the sacrificial victims. Was it because he objected to the old Jewish religion or was it because he was Roman royalty, the son of Augustus, who believed he had the right to banish the Jewish religion, hated by Rome, and replace it with a different religion over which he would rule as King?
After Germanicus died of poison, Tiberius Caesar took over for a short time, during which the Senate voted to get rid of the Egyptian and Jewish worship." Those of military age were to be sent to Sardinia to handle the "brigandage of the place." If the Jewish and Egyptian men died of the harsh conditions it would not be a loss. The rest were to leave Rome or else give up their "impious religions."
Romans did not like Jewish worship which was considered superstitious.
Jesus did not like the Jewish religion because he considered it unreasonable.
Jesus may have been sired by Caesar Augustus who intended to sire a suitable
ruler over Palestine/Israel and that Jesus believed this even after Augustus was
replaced by Tiberius. Why not? They could not get a decent ruler
over that uncivilized province in the east.
