By reading that story in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, you learn of faith.  I focus on all five men (a & b): the paralytic and the four men who brought him to Jesus by any means necessary.  Jesus rewarded their faith by healing the paralytic.  It's a good lesson to remember.

I agree about bringing back Jesus, but he really isn't dead. \n\nI would bring back Abraham Licoln, because he was cool in a crisis and he could probably help out alot with this War in Iraq.

Luke 16:31  “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”\n\nif they want to believe and be saved then they can read this\nhttp://www.100prophecies.org/

Huh? Who is Jesus? Do you mean that jewish rabbi Jeshu that the greek christians renamed Jesus and claimed him as their God in the flesh? Didn't he already come back once? How many lives does that guy get any way? The last event would probably be "WORLD-WIDE PANIC"

Most kind of you to say PPk!\n\nAt the beginning I almost gave up on finding anyone in here that had more than just a couple of brain cells functioning at the same time. But slowly, here and there, I began to find myself reading a few rare gems offered up by some very knowledgable individuals, occasionally even some deeply wise ones, too. But of course those are somewhat rare. However, the one person whose thought process and whose sense of charity has impressed me the most has been you. When you have something to say you really put it out there and I can certainly appreciate that kind of generosity of spirit when I encounter it.\n\nNow, who should you give the 10 points to for this question?  I say give it to the wisest speaker, of course...  today that's Boss!!

I don't have a set religion, but I would have to say Jesus. Hitler had mental issues, and he had his own Secret Soldiers kill a group of Nazis called Stormtroopers killed in an inn because they were deemed ineffective. Jesus has the help of God, who could just smote Hitler down with a terrible bowel movement, and Jesus could die but he would just be ressurected again.

Some guy Andy got a stroke and got half paralysed. He started to go into the deepest hell of overwhelming emotions and cried himself to sleep every night. However, there are these friends and relatives there who visit him and tell him not to give up. He started physiology and regained his former self.\n\nThis is a rough idea. Write it in ur own words.

I can understand your confusion. No problem asking for clarification, so don't feel like you need to apologize.\n\nMt.20:23-\nJesus made it clear that He had a mission, and the Father had particular tasks as well as the Holy Spirit. Example, Jesus does not know the hour of His return, only the Father. This is a direct parallel the the Jewish wedding. While Jesus was on earth in bodily form, He is unable to be with everyone at once--this is the role of the Holy Spirit. Jesus made it clear that who sits where is a role that is the Father's only.\n\nMk 6:5\nJesus did not do miracles to those who wanted parlor tricks. Jesus would only do miracles for those who had the faith in Him. Look at his meeting with Harod. Harod was glad to see Jesus and hoped that He would do a miracle for him, but Jesus would not. God's plan was not to "impress" people. Jesus had specific reasons for doing and not doing miracles. Jesus was in His hometown and everyone questioned Him and doubted His authority. He could have done a big SPFX thing, but that would not bring the kind of faith and belief He desired. Who was the person that Jesus was most impressed with? The Centurion who said, "Just say the word, Jesus and my servant will be healed." Jesus marveled and basically said, in effect, "This is the faith I have been looking for!"\n\nMt.28:18\nThis is true. And He weilds that power as He sees fit. From my experiences, He does it with a whisper and not a shout.\n\nI hope this answers your questions. You might glean much from my studies.

Jesus said something to Peter after the Resurrection that may help you with this problem. As Peter and Jesus walk up the beach away from the fishing boats Peter saw John walking right behind them. Peter ask Jesus what about that man referring to John.. Jesus said what if I should that he stay in the flesh until I come what is that to you, You follow Me.. Your duties don't include trying to change anyone but yourself. You follow Christ and let Christ take care of others.  Can you do it?     Jim

1: Jesus was not a Jew, he was a Muslim. so was a Muslim, just like any other prophet. \n2: there is no proof that Jesus was white and blue- eyed and i think that it is wrong and disrespectful for people to draw a picture of Jesus, even though, he was a prophet

its all metaphors. Jesus used metaphors so dont look for literal meanings

Not everyone will get it or understand it my dear friend.\nNot because it is to hard or to spiritual but because they are blind.\nThe Pharasee's and Saducee's of Christs time were so blind they did not get it either, and they were the priests of Israel.\nDo as Jesus did find the sick and the needy. Remember as Jesus said "it is not the healthy that need a doctor but the sick and needy"\nKeep your eyes focussed on the gift you have been given   The LIGHT that will see you make it to eternity in Heaven.

Once Lonely; depressed doing my Community service in a Salvation Army hall, I spotted a Beautiful Portrait of Jesus, just His Profile. I stared at it for what seemed a long time and asked myself if Jesus was here with me and If He was than I could let go of these feelings of depression.\nI heard a voice: A soft voice say:\n" My Child, I Know Your Needs and I Will Care For You."\nFrom that day on, I never prayed for Riches,Love,or even Help to turn my Life around.Rather I prayed for Wisdom and Strength because my faith became so strong I knew God would carry me when I thought I could not go on..\nand He has " Always." \nSo try it -You Pray too, he knows what's Best for you even if it's Not what you want and I will pray for you too.\nGod is a Loving God..\nGoodluck and God Bless.

We all have our Friends, then our close Friends, then our best Friends, and finally our best friend. Jesus was the same, he had His followers, His disciples, Peter, James and John, and His best friend was Peter. \nPeter seamed to be the smartest and most inquisitive among the disciples, which usually makes one a leader among their peers.\nPeter had the strongest faith and acted on that faith.
