Why when asked by Pilate "What is truth?" Did Jesus remain silent.?

Unless you understand truth, hearing it would be meaningless

In the Old Testament times if what a prophet prophesied came true He was real. So it was based on his telling the truth that he heard from God, In the new it is still based on truth. We are to test the prophets (spirits) by the Word of Truth. The main test is the truth about the son of God. False prophets always attack this central truth. We must test all things with the Word as the Bereans tested Paul.\nWe need to know the Truth and the Truth shall set us free and the Truth is in Jesus.\nYes I have seen many. All who teach salvation in any other way than the perfect and complete work of Christ. As Paul says to the Galations if anyone teach another gospel to them "let him be accursed"

"He who has ears, let him hear."\n\nOnce, I asked Jesus to come and live in me, like he said him and his father would if asked.\n\nYears later, I was at a tough place in my life. \n\nI was alone and I was scared and frustrated and angry.\n\nI cried out "God, you said you would come and live in me, so where are you?! I cant see you, I can't hear you, talk to me please, show me your self, why won't you communicate with me?!!"\n\nThen i heard it...clearly in my mind.\n\n"I am with you right now, I have always been with you. I haven't left you. Its going to be ok..." and He was speaking with my own voice!\n\nInstantly I realized that He was always with me, BUT my recognition of Him, my ability to hear Him was clouded and blocked off because I was still under the impression that I was seperate from Him.  \n\nBut of course, God's gift of Jesus and each person's own sincere acceptence on faith is/was the seed that fianally grew into a real relationship.\n\nFinally it was as clear as day. His voice was my own voice in my head. He had come to live in me and was always speaking with me. The scriptures "I and my father are one" and "nothing can seperate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus" came to be an understandable reality for me.\n\nHearing is about wanting to hear and then listening. \n\n"Faith is the assurence of things hoped for and the substance of things unseen."\n\nNow, I hear and see God in more and more interesting and new ways. The whole thing really panned out and i gotta say- it was all worth believing in.

Jesus is included in other historical documents than just the Bible.  I personally have read about Him in Josephus.  And yes, He is the Christ.  How many people do you know of that would die for a lie?  ALL of the disciples except one died for saying that Jesus is the Christ.

Any question that shows a real need on the part of the asker to know the truth about Jesus or God or the bible.  There are many very sincere questions about these things in this section, and it is always fulfilling to search the scriptures to find a complete answer for them.  I even came across a verse in pslams that says, it is a joy to have an apt answer for a questioning man!

What would Jesus say?
366981
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.

After his resurrection, Jesus Christ gave flashes of light regarding an obligation resting on all his followers. Most likely it was to the 500 disciples assembled in Galilee that he said: “Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. \n\nThereafter, all followers of Christ were to be preachers, and their preaching commission was not to be limited to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Matthew 10:6) Nor were they to perform John’s baptism in symbol of repentance for forgiveness of sins. Instead, they were to baptize people “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit.”\n\nJesus commanded his followers to baptize new disciples “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit.” (Matthew 28:19) What did Jesus mean? Baptism “in the name of the Father” indicates that the person being baptized wholeheartedly accepts Jehovah God as the Creator and the rightful Sovereign of the universe. (Psalm 36:9; 83:18) Being baptized ‘in the name of the Son’ means that the individual acknowledges Jesus Christ—and particularly His ransom sacrifice—as the only means of salvation provided by God. (Acts 4:12) Baptism ‘in the name of the holy spirit’ signifies that the baptismal candidate recognizes Jehovah’s holy spirit, or active force, as God’s instrument for carrying out His purposes.\n\nJesus commanded, it is to be carried out “in all the nations.”  To Jesus’ Jewish followers, that must have been a startling commission. He was telling his Jewish disciples that they would now have to go out to the “unclean” Gentiles of all the nations and teach them. It took some readjusting for them to absorb the impact of and act on that assignment. (Acts 10:9-35) But there was no getting around it; Jesus had told them in a parable that “the field is the world.” \n\nWhen we examine texts offered by Trinitarians as evidence that the Bible “implies” a Trinity, what do we find? An honest appraisal reveals that the scriptures offered do not speak of Christendom’s Trinity.   \nAn example of such texts is found at Matthew 28:19, 20. There the Father, the Son, and the holy spirit are mentioned together. Some claim that this implies a Trinity. But read the verses yourself. Is there anything in those texts that says that the three are one God equal in eternity, power, position, and wisdom? No, there is not. It is the same with other texts that mention the three together.

Paul SAYS Jesus said this, but it isn't anywhere to be found in the Gospels.  Possibly Jesus never said it, or maybe Paul made it up; Or, possibly, one of the hundreds of "editors" of the bible thought it was a nice sentiment and added it.

The Truth is Jesus.  Nothing compares to this.  Study your Bible and see for yourself,  John 14:6\nI am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.  NO NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.  Not the priests, not the pope, but JESUS.  Jesus is the mediator between God and man.\nI love the TRUTH.  It is when this gets misconstued and misinterpreted that I have a problem with it.

That He did say those things is true, and that He practiced them is likewise true, but what is your point? Is it to  denigrate Him, or His followers? That the Church has failed to follow His teachings has been  plainly demonstrated by history, as well as by the current crop of Christendom. So I take it you have issues with Him. I suggest you take those issues up with Him personally and quit trying to make us look bad; we are doing a pretty good job of that all by ourselves.\n\n Haven’t you figured out by now that people are happy with their ‘religion’, as long as it doesn’t cost them much or actually involve obeying Jesus’ commands? Thus He said in Luke 6:46 ‘Why do you call me Lord, Lord and do not the things I say unto you.’ \n\nShhhh, please don’t disturb the sleeping babes. Let them sleep, content in their religion, family values, covetous possessions, patriotism, worldly ethics and apple pie. The blast of the Trumpet should wake them from their slumber. Too late to prepare for the groom, but time to enjoy the fruit of their labors under the reign of the anti-Christ.

WHAT 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\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.

Your putting pretty high expectations on a man who started a religion after eating a poisonous mushroom and listening to a talking salamander...obviously, he must have been hallucinating!  Anything that adds to or takes away from the word of God, is not truly of God.Satan's biggest lie ever told was denying Jesus was crucified or that He was the Son of God....the very essence of our salvation. Jesus warned against false prophets that would come....He told us to test things in the Spirit-so we would know the truth from the lies.Remember, every knee shal bow and every tounge confess that Jesus Christ is Lord....I think was in Romans...so there will come a moment when Satan himself will have to be on bended knee confessing that! I'm pretty sure that was in Romans-I don't have my Bible with me right now.So, there will come that day! Until then...pray for those who don't know HIM.

If the Jesus myth is true, he paid no price and there was no sacrifice. He paid the "wages of sin" with a hot check.\n\nYou are correct that there was nothing paid.

There are no hidden 'facts'.  A few years ago we had the movie Stigmata revealing a hidden Gospel.  It turns out to be the Gospel of Thomas, readily available at any Barnes and Noble.  The Church certainly did a good job of suppressing that one.  Dan Brown 'unearths' the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, a Gnostic Gospel similarly in print for many centuries.  I have a copy myself.  It is in a Collection titled "Hidden Gospels".  It has not been suppressed.  It is simply not believed by mainstream Christians.  Most recently we have the Gospel of Judas.  This is another Gnostic Gospel condemned by early Church leaders at least as early as 180 A.D.  These are all historical documents that have been known to scholars for many years.  They have been on the dustheap for all those years simply because they haven't been seen as credible by any reasonable historian or theologian.
