    Well the biggest contributing factor would probably the fact that Judea was a hotbed of insurrection and Revolt at the time. That he himself was a feature of that setting. Within his lifetime his homeland would have been at war with Rome. So I doubt he lives to old age.

      I mean, if I got crucified and came back you can bet your ass I’m staying the hell away from everyone for the rest of my life!

    According to Christian lore, he ascended to heaven and is still living.

    If he was to be living on earth: He would have continued to proclaim living a life of peace, forgiveness and true Godliness. (“Go and sin no more.”) Many potential followers would still have been pissed that He wasn’t militaristic and the Romans would have been pissed that he didn’t fully submit to Caesar/Rome.

    Maybe he would have lived long enough to make sure all the gospel writers were on the same page. The phrase “gospel truth” is very ironic in its usage.
