I don't believe in Jesus as a philosopher/idealist. ......Sure he was and would be the first to tell you this. We see him teaching in parables using rhetoric & metaphor tn his public talks. Other wise he could just have waved hand & sent the Holy Spirit into people transforming them on the spot (like sending demons into pigs & drving them off the cliffs) You are free to believe in what ever you want, preach & philosophize anytime you like, in front of the courthouse or in public parks, even rent billboards & take out ads, start chat rooms all over the internet, rent public meeting houses & churches. You can thank the secular world of enlightenment that thought these ideas up of true tolerance which mirrors Hellenism, not the Hebrew.

The organized Hebrew judiciary Sanhedrin (councils of elders) is inspired & taken directly from the Greek 'Synhedrion' which means 'sitting together'. So much borrowing so little time & all this after the Hellenes influx in after Alexander. This is when you really start to see the stories cobble together. Synhedrion en.wikipedia.org Synedrion was adopted by Hellenistic Jews and corrupted into Aramaic as sanhedrin, actually in full sanhedrin (gedola) "(great) council" in Late Hebrew. It was further corrupted to sanhedrim as a false correction when the Greek word was taken into Mishnaic Hebrew, where -in is a form of the plural suffix of which -im is the more exact form), for the high council of the Jewish nation after its state had been reduced by the Roman empire to vassalitic puppet states under tetrarchs, see Iudaea province, but was itself abolished in 70 AD after Titus' destruction of Jerusalem and reconvened in Yavne.
