When Jesus first began to preach most of the "institutional" authority figures rejected and hated Him. This is because He offered a way out that transcended all the previous teachings. He was God in the Flesh and He alone had the power to stop the evil. They did not accept Him then and still it is all too evident from a simple read of the posts here to witness the hearts of man turn from the Light
I think Jesus was rejected, and said to "have a demon" because he was a practicing mystic/magician, doing blessings, cursings and healings. I like the Bible, but it is not my God. I have never seen Jesus, but I often wonder why he is often depicted as a long-haired man with an almost feminine face. The Bible does say that it is a shame for a man to have long hair. If Jesus ever took on physical human form and revealed himself to me, I would expect him to have short hair and a more rugged face.
