Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Never - he was a Jewish prophet. Christianity was invented by Paulus.
Why did a jewish prophet become the spokesperson for a different religion?
Because his followers created the religion based off of his teachings. After he died.
He wasn't a very good jewish prophet if his teachings made people not want to be jewish.
I think you need to understand that nobody here is provoked by this and people are genuinely trying to help you understand what you are asking about. Because you come off as attempting to be an edgy troll and failing miserably.
Arguably they didn't. The modern trappings of Christianity were invented out of the whole cloth from Paul of Tarsus, when he had a "vision" of Jesus conveniently not seen by anyone else purportedly while he was traveling on the road to Damascus. Notably, all of this went down some decades after big J's death.
It was Paul who discarded the bulk of the Jewish stuff, either out of desire to make it more palatable to his Roman peers or, possibly, simply because he was a raving nut. Paul was a self-described persecutor of the existing Christians, so he would have been in a pretty good position to know what their beliefs were to use as a starting point.
Paul hated christians so he invented christianity?
As he told it, Paul hated Christians and then had a vision of Jesus who told him off about it, and then he had a big change of heart and invented (modern) Christianity.
That's wild I'm just reading the wiki link you provided.
It was convenient. Him being already dead, he couldn't get in the way.
Mohammed did the same thing. It's how many religions branch off.
Wait could you explain that one more?
I read his biography before and explicitly remember him becoming a Muslim at 40.
Before that he was either hanif or agnostic depending on sources but I don't remember him following Judaism.
I'm gonna send you to Religion for Breakfast and Useful Charts on YouTube. I don't remember this well enough offhand
Mohammad was a jew?
Judaism, Christianity and Islam all are abrahemitic religions and share the same roots, so pretty much, yes
Although I'm not that versed with the story of Mohammed
Edit: basically Islam and Christianity developed out of Judaism, but they differ in who they see as the promised Messiah
Not really. He was a prince in a branch of Judaism that often lists Jesus as a prophet. Kinda. You're gonna have to hit Wikipedia or YouTube. Religion for breakfast maybe?
I don't think so, but Islam was heavily influenced by Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and Sabianism back in the day if they meant that.
He didn't. He is still the Jewish prophet for the Jewish cult offshoot that was then a branch of Judaism and is now called Christianity. Original christians are really Jews with some extra lore on top. But people are people and people are tribal and they need someone band against together, so now we have a plethora of different abrahamic religions that are all pissy and nasty against each other.
