Maybe Jesus was a dinosaur!!! but I still think that expression "When Jesus walked the Earth " sounds really silly, we don't say it of any other figures, "When Einstein walked the Earth"...."When President Kennedy walked the Earth"

I'm Christian. I love Jesus. I also find your question really funny. A lot of people seem to find your question offensive, but I think they have missed your point! (Of course I could be wrong. You might be a horrible guy and I'VE missed the point.)\n\nI know exactly what you mean though, I have only heard this term related to Jesus and the dinosaurs!

Pretty creative.  I never thought of Jesus as a zombie.  You make a very good point.  The sad thing is that it appears that some people do seem to lose some of their brains and call themselves followers of the zombie, Jesus.  On the other hand, most of his followers describe an enhanced thinking capacity, a greater ability to reason and a much deeper appreciation for beauty and life.  Sorry that you've seen so much of the former.  But, your analogy is truly humorous. LOL.  Thanks.

I took a class my freshman year in college called "Early Christian Writings"......Jesus the man did exist.....historically .....there is proof of it......but many things do not fall in line the way the Bible and Christian Theoligans would like to believe or preach.  E.g. he was born 6 BC.....six years than earlier thought...which would make this year...1991?.....Also..he was very open minded.....the missing years of his life when everyone else would like to believe he was making chairs in his father's workshop....he was in the east studying eastern religions.....which is why he is so openminded.   A lot of things he said were not his words originally.   E.g.  His Sermon on the Mount was a direct quotation from Moses.......from the first five books of the bible.....this was how "The Word" was passed down in those times....orally......teachers would walk around....and his students...or "disciples" would follow him as he recited these verses.   When people asked him "are you the son of God?"....he was like...."hello McFly???? we are all the sons of God"........so they killed him.....just because he wasn't a hyprocrite.....do I think he was the Son of God?....of course....we are all...just look around you....do I think he performed miracles?......yes!!! anything is possible through God......and I believe he is the same God for everyone...just called different names....Allah, God....etc...Does God exist???is there proof??? it depends on what you believe is proof....proof has many dimensions.......and I believe faith to be one of them...you can be an Atheist....but It feels so much better to believe in something....

FINALLY, someone who sees it from the words of the Bible! God created all things, thus the CHICKEN came first, it's simple logic. Thanks, now I don't feel so alone in this opinion.

My grandmother, who is hardcore Southern Baptist, says the dinosaurs did not exist ever, that they were just bones planted by someone to support a fantasy. She also doesn't believe space exists.... I don't ask her questions anymore.

OK Ms. Heron-O-Rific! (hey!  YOU are the one who wanted a funny name just like Trasky-poo and Schnebby-kins so you you got one <winks and giggles>)\n\nI think Matthew misinterpretted what Jesus actually said.  No one will ever know for certain either if Jesus said it because there is really no evidence to support that he even existed.\n\nBTW... that woman is stupid for going back to him.

Christians suppose themselves to be so humble, but they are confident to tell you exactly what the second most powerful supernatural being, who wants to trick us, wouldn't do.  You all ought to say "I don't know."  \n\nI think the existance of dinosaurs definitely threatens the veracity of Genesis, and the supposed 6000 year age of Earth.

I believe that science has established the continental drift, and that dinosaurs and humans never lived at the same time. As for christians believing in it well, the Bible doesn't say anything about either but if they believe the thing about dinos & human or disbelieve continental drift, then they must not pay too much attention to science or history.

oh definately, you are so right! I feel I can add to this...I also believe that, if Jesus had nothing to say on the subject, and if his disciples too, had nothing to say on the subject...if nothing can be found in the collected mythology of the nomadic tribes that form Jesus's ancestry, and noone can be found to say anything that sounds like Jesus or his disciples or his nomadic ancestors could have said it, and if we cannot imagine ourselves what he might have done.........we should look to the Easter bunny for inspiration.

If Jesus walked among us today, I think no one would really notice.  Jesus was a man, just one out of many, that did something that people was looking for.  They was looking for something to believe in, they were looking for someone to tell them that everything good they did was being noticed and that when they died there was light at the end of the tunnel and the only thing they need to do is believe.  Today we have lots of people preaching the say thing he preached then, Jesus voice would not be heard.

Who said Jesus was white?  Imagine about 2000 years ago, the Middle East, a baby born there...what color do you think it was?  OMG...Think about it people!!!  Jesus was a Jew, he was from the Mediterranean, Olive skinned!!! DUH!!!

This is only a theory. The facts that we know is that he was single during the time that was recorded in his life. Biblical history tells the story of Jesus as a child and then goes straight to him performing miracles later in life . Theres a big age gap that wasnt recorded so officially no one knows. My advice is take american best sellers as un-researched bedtime stories

Aerosmith did it in 1975 (from Toys in the Attic) then recorded it with Run DMC in 1986 so I heard the version of them together.  Not sure it says Jesus in the song or that they referred to him but it's a good tune.  Play it at church.  The christians will love you.

1) Jesus is just one translation of his name (stemming from the Romance language group, of which Spanish is one).  His original name was likely Hebrew, and was probably Yeshua.  This is similar to how many other names can be translated between languages (John = Juan = Jean; or James = Jaime).  English Bibles have historically used the translation of his name following the Romans (i.e., the Romance languages).\n\n2) B.C. is traditionally viewed as "Before Christ" while A.D. stands for "Anno Domini" (in the year of our lord).  Thus, 1 BC is the year we count as the year before Jesus' birth.  AD 1 is the year of his birth.  It is a popular misconception that there is a year "0" - this is not true.  Christian calendars go from 1 BC to AD 1 (there is no year "0").\n\n3) ALL calendars do not follow the Christian calendar.  The Chinese, Islamic, Hebrew, and other calendars have their own counts.  However, to answer your question, MOST of the world does use the Christian calendar due to colonial and capitalist expansion in a globalized economy.  Similarly, there have historically been different ways of dividing up the hours of a day.  We use a base-twelve system for counting the hours of a day (based again on the romans) but not all cultures have historically broken up the day in these same increments.  In order to keep businesses on the same schedule, as various cultures increased trade with each other, a standardized measurement of time was needed.  The "western" calendar and measurement of time was the strongest (due to western colonial expansion) when these standards were adopted.\n\n4) Not everyone thinks that the world is going to end in 2012.  In fact, most folks who are specialists in the ancient Maya culture and calendar recognize that this is just a major "turn of the millenium" situation for that particular calendar.  It is a time when the ancient Maya "long count" turns over (like your car's odometer rolling over to all zeros).  The ancient Maya actually prophecized far beyond 2012, so even they did not believe the world would end.  Only those who like to see the "end of the world" in all major calendrical shifts believe such things.
