God would win because Jesus is God's son

Man, I understand where your coming from.  I've studied other religions and looked into this Jesus and I've asked the same question and many more.  Jesus is special for a number of reasons.  Yes, there were many people who crucified as saviors before and after Jesus.  We still get people popping up claiming divinity.  The real question isn't so much as is Jesus the savior because he got a few books written about him, its why were there books written about him in the first place.  The most basic point anyone can show you is this...its not that Jesus died, its that he rose after his death.  And there is more evidence that he did actually rise 3 days later and not just Biblical evidence.  First off, the fact that the Roman leaders and armies wanted him gone, because it was the time of Pass Over which is the celebration of Jews getting out of Egypt, and at this time of year, the Jewish community gets a little out of hand, for the are now under the Roman rule.  So when Jesus comes in, and he's claiming to be their savior...the crowd thinks he's going to be a king and run the Romans out.  So, if Jesus didn't rise again, why did the Romans say nothing?  Why did the Jewish Pharaseas (please excuse my spelling) who pushed to have him killed, not stand up and say..."he's still dead!"?  What was it that gave Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John the confedance to step out of their hidding, for fear they were going to be crucified, and boldly speak of a living God, Jesus...and welcome their death?  These questions may seem weak, but if you really think about them and look at the history and try to get in the minds of all these people...only one thing makes since...Jesus is not dead...he rose, becoming a savior that no one expected, but a savior from ourselves.  Thats why Jesus is special, the others were saviors...they were fanatics.  There are a lot of other reasons why Jesus is special, but I honestly have the feeling that if this thought doesn't at least make you rethink the history, then anything else I say, will truly be pointless.

to A.Qurius Muse, your answer exceeds 10,000 words no one is going to read except the Bible people  who repeatedly read the same old paragraphs.\n\nAnswer to the question:  Jesus wanted to die because he was afraid the truth might come out that he was just an ordinary man.

Very correct in your conclusion.  Even those in Jesus time with all the proofs they had still did not believe in Him and a lot of those that did, did not want to admit it as they would be counted as His followers and maybe lose their important job.  Same today with all the evidence, many will not believe if a building were to fall on them to show that was truth.  The extra personal truth is that Jesus is a personal Saviour that knocks at each of our hearts and we have to but let Him in or not.

•Jesus is not a Saviour. He is not capable, even, to save himself from his enemies. How he can be considered “All-Able” to save everyone on the earth. It is the Lord alone__ Who is the All-Able to save every creature of the universe including the mankind__ as the Lord is already saving__ each of them__ without any desolation and defect.\nThe Same God is the God of Jesus who was the God of Jacob and Moses (peace & blessings of God be upon all the three). The one God, beside whom, there is no God at all.\n\nJesus is not the inventor of Trinity. Nor he is presenting him as one of three Gods. Nor he is telling the One God as the third of the three gods. Instead, he is openly rejecting the concept of Trinity, which stands for the following three gods.\n\n1.The God of Moses____ Jehovah\n2.The word of God_____ Jesus\n3.Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost.\n\nThe Trinity is a baseless concept in terms of the Verse under reference, the verse 3 of the prayer.\n\nTorah says,\n“Remember This! The Lord and the Lord alone___ is our God.\nLove the Lord your god with all your heart,\nWith all your soul, and with all your strength.”\n(Deut 6:4-5)\n\n“Fear the Lord your God, worship only God,\nand make your promises in God’s name alone.\nDo not worship other gods,\nAny of the gods of the people around you.\nIf you do worship other gods,\nThe Lord’s anger will come against you\nLike fire and will destroy you completely,\nBecause the Lord your God,\nWho is present with you, tolerates no rivals.”\n(Deut 6:13-14-15)\n\n“God is a great god and (only) one to be feared.’\n(Deut 7:21)\n\nPrior to Jesus, the Lord had created Eve, without mother__ and Adam, without mother and father, the both. Afterwards, the Lord created Jesus without father. So the creation of Jesus, without father, is the third instance of the Lord’s all-encompassing creativity___ which is free from all the channels or systems of the birth. Instead, all the channels or systems of the birth are subservient to the all-encompassing and unique creativity of the Lord.\n\nJesus was born after Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Moses and the numerous other Prophets (peace & blessings of God be upon all of them). If he were the Son-God, then, all of the foregoing Prophets, must have been the believers of Trinity. But the case is not like that at all. None of them was the believer of Trinity, rather, none of them, had, even, heard about the name of Trinity, in their times. Hence, Trinity is nothing else but an invented and artificial concept which has no existence, even, during the time of Jesus. It is, therefore, a rootless concept from all accounts.\n\n•Jesus believed in the same God___ who was believed in__ by Adam, Noah, Ibrahim, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and all the prophets (peace &blessings of the LORD be upon all of them).\n\nAccording to Jesus, God, the Holy One; is the Saviour of the Whole mankind. God is capable (be God glorified as God is) to relive off every infliction. None of the human beings is saviour beside God. Jesus, himself is also, not a saviour at all. The people who have chosen him as their saviour__ they have denied the Holy One___ who alone is the saviour of Jesus and whole mankind and the act of choosing Jesus as saviour__ is equal to hate the Holy One___ as it is clearly written in the old Testament:-\n\n“I am the Lord your God. Worship no God but Me. Do not make for yourself images of anything in heavens or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it. Because I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me, on their descendants, down to third and fourth generation.”\n(Exodus 20:1-5)\nDuring his preaching, Jesus had never called himself as God or Son-God.Now, look upon those people who consider Jesus as God or Son-God. They are, baselessly, blaming even those people who were present at the spot and knew that Jesus was not God or son-god. In

sorry i didn't get back to you.  this was not saying that God was a liar for we know God can never lie.  His promises are yeah and amen and also He is not slack concerning His promises.  What He says he will do he will do.  God can NEVER lie.  It is not possible for him to sin because He is Holy and Pure.  This particular passage of scripture was about a spirit(angel) that told God he would go and cause one of Ahab's prophets to lie to him and cause him to go into battle where he would ultimately be killed.  All things serve the Lord and even with deceipt, God can use these situations to serve His purposes.  We can see this in our own lives when things aren't going good or seem out of control, but we know God is on the throne and He is in control.  He can take any problem and make it a blessing for us if we will just wait for Him to shine through.  Keep studying his word and asking these questions.  It's how you will learn. And ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit as you study His word.

Everyone has a choice, God does not "make" Muslims, etc. He may know someone will make choices that turns them into a Muslim, but God values our choices. Look, if God wanted to just let everyone into heaven that loved him, and cast away the rest into hell, he can do so WITHOUT putting us on earth first. But why would he let us be on earth when he knows we wont serve him anyway? Well imagine if you were created straight in hell... You could easily argue, "God I never had a choice to follow you!", but since you were on earth you DID have choices, and so you get to understand why you go to heaven or hell. Remember though, no one goes to hell if they doesn't deserve to be there according to God's judgement. So why didn't God create just Christians? Well, firstly that would be a form of force since we'd all be destined to go to heaven. Secondly, God might use the life of a non-believer to somehow affect another person into believing. If no one was criticising the Bible, for instance, you probably wouln't have historians and archeologists who back up the Biblical claims with as much evidence as possible. If you didn't have those scholars defending the Bible from skeptics, you might not have as many people who believe in the Bible. At the last, remember that God's knowledge and foresight exceeds are own, and what we may not think is "woth it" he does. Plus think about it, do you think us mere humans are worth the sufferings Jesus undertook? I don't want anyone suffering for me, but it just goes to show how sometimes God might do something we think is wrong, but to him it is extreme mercy and love.

because He kept Himself in constint relationship with his father . because you do not believe you proable will not understand this answer. but the closer I walk with Christ , the less likely i am to sin.Due to the fact that sin can not stand His holiness.. ever notice in the bible that any one that had a demon they fell before Jesus and asked Him not to have any thing to do with them? to move away from Him sin is more and more of my life. Jesus never moved away from God matter fact He left the crowds to be alone with God. so a closiness to God is a secert of not sinning. also for your other questions once he touched the dead girl and lepers they were healed, so was that a sin to make people well? it also shows that one touch by Jesus can change your life.

Yes, but not all of them. I'm sure there are insane people who worship the Lord, but kill people in the name of God. Would they get into Heaven? I'm sure there are mentally challenged people who worship the Lord, and don't go killing people, so they shall be allowed in Heaven. But I'm sure there are those who don't follow, and I don't think they can get into Heaven. No one is allowed in Heaven unless they worship God.

I'm a Christian, first of all, and I believe in the existence of Heaven and Hell, but I completely agree with you.  I can't possibly understand how someone could ever be evil enough to, when faced with the reality of God and His presence, turn it away!  Even the worst of the worst -- all have mental problems, like Hitler or serial killers.  It seems like everyone would make it to Heaven.

Good question -- the same can be said about this business of torturing people FOREVER in hell just because they could not believe the gospel.  (It is rather hard to believe in invisible things, or in things that one is told and for which there is no proof.)  But if God loves to hate the people he supposedly loves, then that's the way it goes.

because people in Jesus time did not believe he was divine.\n\nhis followers saw him as a human messiah and it was only long afterwords was he called the son of god

The Jesus I know and love is not going to judge anyone like that. Why are you trying to scare people into believing your way? Do you think God wants you to love him because you fear him? Maybe you need to sit quietly somewhere and connect with All That Is because you are missing something big. \nLove & Light\nSharon\nOne Planet = One People

We are all God's children so was Jesus, but not as special as man has made him. He was the first to have the power of healing; something in those days was unheard of. He had the power to heal that was so strong people believed he was performing miracles when he brought back the dead, but not even Jesus could do that. Just think in those days if you were in a coma how would it look to others? dead right, not so, and if your not dead then you can be healed, and this is why Jesus is so special, he was also special because he was the first to speak out and tell us of God and he told the truth about him, and not lies like the other religions that were about, even now the lies continue throughout the bible, and all the other religious books written by man.\nJesus wanted all this recorded, but it was left to man, and as man has proved over the years, and proved to Jesus man can't be trusted.\nThe bible was supposed to tell about God and his teachings, but it's been twisted so man can kill and profit in God's name.\nIt doesn’t matter what name you give God there is only one, and he would not want man to behave this way, and that’s why we have lost our way, and why so many bad things happen to us, but then what happens people blame God, and ask why does he not help us, why should he.\nJesus came to help us and look what we done to him.\n\nI hope this explains why Jesus is special, remember have faith in God not a book written by man.\n\nLove & Peace

Because even if they knew of way to contact Him, God can change His mind based on what you do in the next minute. We do not have scientifically credible and verifiable evidence of the existence of God, Heaven, or Hell; these are a matter of faith, not reason based on firsthand knowledge. Even if it turns out the Bible is right about all of these, we cannot presume to know where God intends to send each of us.

I see where you are going with this, but your logic is faulty.\n\nYes - He is saying that some people will claim to know Him, but as he just got done saying a few verses earlier, they won't have been doing the will of His Father, and which means they don't truly know Him, they only think they do.\n\nTwo observations:\n\n1)  That does not mean that all Christians will not be acknowledged by the Messiah - only that some who claim to be Christians won't.\n\n2)  That does not mean that there are any other ways to God.  Jesus was also very clear about that:\n\n  * John 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."\n\n   * John 14:6 "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me"\n\nI see that you honor Jesus as a Prophet, when you write "PBUH" (Peace Be Unto Him) after His name.  How do handle the knowledge that Jesus claimed to: 1) have the authority to forgive sins (something only God can do), 2) said He and the Father were one (John 10:30), and 3) claimed God granted him the authority to lay down his life  - and - take it up again (John 10:17-18).\n\nIgnoring whether or not He proved those things with the Resurrection (and there is evidence He did), these claims are very bold.  I can see two possibilities.  Either 1) These were not true (in which case you should not be saying "Peace Be Unto Him" every time you mention his name, for he was a Blasphemer, or 2) What he said was true, and he was God in human form come to save mankind.\n\nAs a Muslim, how do you handle that?
