http://WhatJewsBelieve.org\n\nNone of the Real Prophecies concerning the messiah have been fulfilled by Jesus.\n\nThe basic beliefs of Christianity about Jesus are against what the Bible says, and so Real Jews cannot believe in Jesus at all.\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The messiah is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us:::\n\nEzekiel 18:1-4; 20-24; 26-27 .....Behold, all \nsouls are mine; as the soul of the father, so \nalso the soul of the son is mine: the soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. Eze 18:20 The soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not \nbear the iniquity of the father, neither shall \nthe father bear the iniquity of the son: the \nrighteousness of the righteous shall be upon \nhim, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be \nupon him. But if the wicked will turn from all \nhis sins that he hath committed, and keep all \nmy statutes, and do that which is lawful and \nright, he shall surely live, he shall not die. \nAll his transgressions that he hath committed, \nthey shall not be mentioned unto him: in his \nrighteousness that he hath done he shall live. \nHave I any pleasure at all that the wicked \nshould die? saith the Etrnl Gd: and not that \nhe should return from his ways, and live?.... \nEze 18:26 When a righteous man turneth away \nfrom his righteousness, and committeth \niniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity \nthat he hath done shall he die. Again, when \nthe wicked man turneth away from his \nwickedness that he hath committed, and doeth \nthat which is lawful and right, he shall save \nhis soul alive. \n\nSo, the Bible is clear, no one can die for the sins of another, and this means that Jesus cannot die for anyone else's sins.\n\nChristians also believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, that one who does not have such a blood sacrifice will die in their sins, and go to hell, except for the sacrifice of Jesus.\n\nThis, too, is UnBiblical. The Bible describes blood sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin in the Book of Leviticus. But it is in Leviticus itself, in the middle of the discussion of the sin sacrifices, that we are taught that we do not need a blood sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Offering a blood sacrifice was an expensive thing to do for the family offering the animal. Was forgiveness then, to be only for the rich? No, because if one cou

There is no real evidence that Jesus went to India after his death and resurrection. There is a possiblity that the apostle Thomas went to India, but not Jesus.

Hi!\nA very religious person would probably say something else, but I think that Christianity spread mostly because of His sacrifice. Jesus, by dying, left the human world to go back to heaven, somewhere above, from where He can act as an omniscient being(God).\n The miracles he performed were meant to make people believe in him. \n Religiously He had to suffer instead of Adam and Eve who had broken the only rule God gave them.\n By dying he went to Hell where the souls of all people that had died where to bring them to Heaven.

Yes Quran tells us that Jesus is not killed .....he has been raised up alive in the heavens ...but quran also says that every sould would taste death so ... to die in this world and to testify that he was not god ...Jesus would come again in this world..... but not as a prophet ...as  a human being .....no doubt about it..

'fly your fla...' was almost right, the Koran does say that Jesus was only a Prophet, and not the Son of God, it also says that Mohammad was a Prophet, not that Mohammed was God!\nApart from that I agree it is a load of cr**!\nAs to your question, if Jesus is "still alive" why does he need to return, where has he been if he is still alive?\nWho took his place on the cross? I really don't know and it's not as if Crucifixion was anything unusual in those times, hundreds of people (not only followers of Christ) were crucified daily, for all sorts of crimes, people were crucified and set alight to illuminate the Roman arenas at night, it was really no big deal. (unless you were the one being lit up!!  \nI can understand your interest, it's all a great story, but don't get carried away, it is actually only a story!!

FACT is this. You don't know where he is and nobody else does either. His lifestyle would suggest he was not a Christian.\n\nDid he repent in the last hours? I don't know, and you don't either.\n\nSo the answer is.\n\nIf he repented, he will be in heaven.\n\nIf he did not repent, he is toast.

You're right, He did not ascend to Heaven until 40 days later, the same thing happen to Jesus, just the same as Lazarus\n\nWHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT DEATH\n\nJesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60) Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep” in death.—1 Corinthians 15:6.\n\nLEARNING FROM THE RESURRECTION ACCOUNTS\n\nThe Bible teaches that the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” They are not alive and have no conscious existence anywhere. The account of Lazarus confirms this. Upon returning to life, did Lazarus thrill people with descriptions of heaven? Or did he terrify them with horrible tales about a burning hell? No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he had been “conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death.—John 11:11.\nThe account of Lazarus also teaches us that the resurrection is a reality, not a mere myth. Jesus raised Lazarus in front of a crowd of eyewitnesses. Even the religious leaders, who hated Jesus, did not deny this miracle. \n\nThink about this too: If Lazarus had been in heaven for those four days, would he not have said something about it?— And if he had been in heaven, would Jesus have made him come back to earth from that wonderful place?— Of course not!\n\nYet, many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.\n\nThe Scriptural teaching of the resurrection, however, is not compatible with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. If an immortal soul survived death, no one would need to be resurrected, or brought back to life. Indeed, Martha expressed no thought about an immortal soul that was living on elsewhere after death. She did not believe that Lazarus had already gone to some spirit realm to continue his existence. On the contrary, she showed her faith in God’s purpose to reverse the effects of death. She said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) Likewise, Lazarus himself related no experiences of some afterlife. There was nothing to report.\n\nClearly, according to the Bible, the soul dies and the remedy for death is the resurrection.

"If he stayed, he would become a martyr and it would strenghten their faith if he was killed." \n\nExactly what he said praise the Lord!!

Well Luke did write that passage but your wondering who wrote the words that the angel said, correct? Well to tell you the absloute truth...you will have to believe in God and and die and ask God himself who did. My guess is God's secretary or maybe his assistant? But that is a very good Question. You should ponder it.

Real Muslims follow Isa/Jesus.\nThe Quran says Isa/Jesus was a Prophet.\nA Prophet is one that is the Voice of God to us.\nTo disobey Isa/Jesus is to disobey God.\nAccording to Isa/Jesus we are to follow and obey His diciples.\nHis diciples said that if anyone teach anything different than what they already taught, even if it come from an "angel from heaven", to let that one be accursed.\n\nGALATIANS 1:8,9\n8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. \n9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.\n\nMohammed wrote the Quran several hundreds of years after the last Apostle died.\nHe said an angel gave it to him.\nNearly every word of it contradicts what Isa/Jesus and His diciples taught.\nThere is nothing that says he had any authority to change what was already written, many hundreds of years before him (the Holy Bible), and proven by many different Prophets and Apostles.\nReal Muslims follow Isa/Jesus...not Mohammed.\n\nQuran 2:136\nSay (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.\n\nIf you do not follow Isa/Jesus, His Apostles and Prophets, then you will be judged by these verses.\nThe words of the Quran, the very book you call "holy", and that you claim to follow, will condemn you.

Okay, this is my understanding of it from all I've read here on Y!A and elsewhere... Please correct me if I've made any mistakes...\n\nIn the beginning, God made a bunch of rules. Those who followed them went to heaven and those who broke them went to hell.\n\nBut they were really difficult rules, so God decided to send Jesus to the world. Jesus was God's son, but he was God Himself, too. Plus the Holy Spirit. And the "Word made Flesh". And many other things too.\n\nJesus's mission was to spread the word of God, his Father (i.e. Himself), but he was also our Saviour. This he accomplished by dying. You see, everyone is a sinner, and no-one can live up to God's rules. God seems to have realised that in due course. He could have, say, changed the rules or just absolved us all by fiat, but this whole kill-My-son (i.e. Myself) thing seemed easier.\n\nJesus was predestined to die for our sins. It was his calling. This is why he hid from the Romans like a fugitive, and why Pilate, Judas and the Jews are all condemned for their complicity - because they wanted to kill a man who wanted to die and was preordained to die. Their crucial role in carrying out God's plan to redeem us all is why we should hate them today.\n\nWhen Jesus, who willingly died and could have prevented it if he had wanted, was on the cross, he called out 'Father, why have you betrayed me?' This means, 'Father (i.e. myself), why have You (i.e. I) abandoned me (i.e. Yourself) when I'm carrying out the mission that you (i.e. I) decided to undertake in the first place?' This is because God, who is omnipotent, could not bear to look sin in the face, and Jesus (i.e. God) had become sin at that moment. Then Jesus died.\n\nExcept he didn't die. He spent a long weekend somewhere and then he was resurrected. So Jesus died for our sins, but he didn't die. He was raised again and now sits at the right hand of God. Except that he is God. But anyway, we can all go to heaven now, where we couldn't before Jesus died/didn't die for us.\n\nOf course, we can still go to hell. Jesus died for our sins, but it doesn't count unless you accept him as your Saviour. Plus, if you're Catholic, you also have to confess and repent and atone. And if you're Protestant, it doesn't much matter anyway, because God decided where you were going before you were born. Plus there's something about wine and thin little wafers.\n\nSo then... what have we learnt? Well, God's law is eternal, but God's law is really harsh so He gave us a hand by sending His son/Himself to die. Except that he didn't die. Because he died/didn't die, people can go to heaven. But they still have to follow God's law, or else they'll go to hell. Just like it was before God sent His son/Himself to die/not die on the cross in order to absolve/not absolve us of our sins.\n\nI hope this clears up any misunderstandings... It's all very clear and logical when you approach it the right way.

Anyone who believes that Jesus was JUST a prophet needs to rethink their ideas.  He stated who he was.  He was either who He said He was, or a liar or crazy.  \n\nHe WAS and IS God in the flesh.  Not a God.  The God.

It hasn't been quite that long - he died 35 C.E or some year near and it is now 2006. But yes - that is an awfully long time considering many of the early believers are recorded to have thought his return was imminent. Matthew 24 also suggests that his generation would not pass away until the tribulation and his return. Certainly does seem like he missed his appointment, but maybe something about all this is misunderstood - i.e., his words or the expectation of this itself. To me that is good evidence supporting he actually did ressurect, because no one would resonably expect him to return again if they didn't see him return once already.\n\nMany Chrisitians want not only every word of the Bible (which has been translated and rewritten by people with different theologies many times) to be right, but it to fit their interpretation of it. So they come up with scenarios to make it all fit in their minds rather than ponder the difficult questions and admit there are some things few if any of us know.

What I have been taught is that before the resurrection, no one was in heaven, but in hades.  Not hell (although hades is sometimes translated hell).  In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus speaks of Lazarus being in hades in Abraham's bosom.  That's where those who were faithful waited for judgment.  Some say it's the same place Jesus refers to as paradise when He said to the thief on the cross, "This day you will be with Me in paradise."  Not the idea of heaven, but of going to Abraham's bosom, or the good side of hades.\n\nAs I understand it, all who died before Christ who were faithful to God are covered by His sacrifice.  All who refused to be covered by His sacrifice are not.\n\nI'm personally not sure if those who are dead are still in the hadean world or if Christ broke the barrier so that they may go now to be with the Father in heaven.  I still haven't looked up the verb tenses when it talks about the judgment.  I don't know if the dead have been judged, or are awaiting judgment.  \n\nI've heard it said that when the veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom when Jesus rose that the veil between hades and heaven was also torn.  I haven't decided which I think is correct.  I need to study that more.

jesus was nither GOD nor the son of GOD..he was one of his most pious and high rated messenger n prophet...he was not entrusted with the powers 2 make others believe in god or the right path..he was here 2 teach n preach...n 2 spread th religion of god...he didnt die....he will be coming back before the day of judgement...but it was certainly not jesus's job 2 make every1 beleieve n act upon what was rite...it was then left to the ppl's discretion either 2 chose or deny the right path....

I'd like to add to your question.  The fact the Jesus (peace be upon him) was supposedly resurrected, doesn't that negate the fact that he died ??  I mean, if he's alive in Heaven, then he is not really dead for our sins.  I'm confused...
