The problem is that you confused Messiah Jesus with one of many Mexican National Jesus'...Silly man...Messiah Jesus walked on water...Mexican National Jesus' walk thru water...

'god bless'...that offends me! lol  But to be honest, even though I'm not a believer, I believe in letting things be. The cross does not offend me. I'd rather go with the majority, myself. I feel like that's what this country is about.

It was just natural for people who didn't fully understand Jesus' Messianic mission, to run for safety. They could not imagine anything beyond a physical kingdom with the Messianic King in power. Jesus' crucifixion was a death blow to their hopes. But, His resurrection changed the whole thing around. Jesus appeared to them, assured them of His abiding presence, commissioned them to continue His mission of seeking and saving the lost, and empowered them with the His Spirit. He opened their eyes to see the kingdom of God portrayed in the Scriptures, which He taught. That was the turning point. The real touch of the Spirit of God from above transforms people inside out. This is the same thing that's happening even today. However, the substitutionary death and victorious resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ had to take place for this to take effect.

Yes, Jesus is Lord...\n\nI know God is so disappointed with all of us but yet His love endure forever.\n\nI don't know why people reject Jesus maybe because of doubt or lack of understanding.\nMaybe they just don't want to change their ways..\n\nYou have to open up your heart to Him not your mind.

the old testament is fantastic, and the new is not nearly the same without it, in fact it is weak and unpowerful without the O.T however Christianity hinges on the person of Jesus, how he dismantled Judaism and fulfilled its every pillar. So, because of Jesus I say the New, but with reservation

"Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine" Ah, go listen to some old Patti Smith albums and maybe then you'll understand. \n\nPS. I think you are rude.

Well... I guess many people have hard feelings towards cristianity.. and the book gave them "arguments". Have you realized people who think it is a great book are not readers? I mean.., most of them have not read more than ten books in their life. but somehow they knew that there was a book "revealing" the truth about those things in the form of a novel.. and that caught their atention.\nA funny thing. I know some who don't believe in what church does... but didn't have any trouble to accept blindly right away what the book says.

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.

Many people seem to have a problem remembering that this book is fiction.  Some Christians take offence because it is important to them that Jesus was a virgin all his life.  I think these people somehow see sex -- even in marriage -- as "dirty" -- otherwise, why would it sully Jesus' purity to have a wife and children?  They seem to think the possibility detracts from His perfection.  \n\nFor me, it makes no difference.  Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ, whether He was married or not.  And the possibility of His bloodline continuing seems to me to be important only to those who think His blood contained some special DNA that would be passed down.  Unless that DNA somehow makes people better people, more likely to love others and change the world -- what difference does it make?  And from what I see of the world, any DNA that makes people better has been as diluted as the Truth He brought (sorry, Christians).  It would be nice if His Teachings existed and were followed in their entirety, but if they were, the world would not be in the state it is in now.\n\nI don't read too much into "The Last Supper" -- it's a painting, not a photograph!  It was done centuries after the fact and the people shown *represent* the people who were there but do not look like them -- since no one knows what they looked like.  If the figure to Jesus' left looks feminine, it is only because da Vinci painted it that way -- and reflects da Vinci's beliefs and/or skill -- not reality.  \n\nI enjoyed the book, but really don't understand the furor.  There are so many books that are more interesting and controversial -- but many of them aren't fiction.  :-)

You sound so very angry. Are you in hell already?  Calling people inbreds because they believe in Jesus doesn't sound very enlightened or intellectual to me.  If you don't want to see Jesus as the way, then follow your own spiritual path in whatever way your soul leads you ... but be kind to others and respect their beliefs.  I wish you peace and love in your spiritual search.

My answer: Jesus died for my sins and gave me his free gift of salvation and eternal life. I accept that gift and choose to live my life for him. Even though my life isn't worth much it's all he asks of me. What an amazing God!!!\nP.s i'm sorry you seem to be such an angry person, gino ggg.\n    couple 2430 - you can't EARN your way into heaven' it's a free gift\n     donkey - being a nice person won't get you there!

You couldn't be more wrong but that's what's expected from one who knows little about the Bible and the Apostles. Nothing changed at all and people can read anything into His word if that's what they sit out to do. This wasn't an accident either. God wants you to worship Him through love and have faith as Jesus taught and as was written in the Old Testament. Those who have no faith have no ability to understand the Bible and never will until they learn a simple thing like a belief in something besides themselves.

It is always interesting to see my religion from another's point of view.\n\nWhat do I see? Well just about every religion has a good view of Jesus. The only one that has not like Jesus very much were the Jews but that is beginning to change. They even call him their Jewish brother (as Jesus was a Jew).\n\nWhat people seem to have a problem with is Christians themselves as we are labeled hypocrites.

It wasn't an affair. They were married. And even if he did, why is everyone always picking on Jesus? Seriously, everyone's always trying to prove that he was bad or worng or didn't exist or something. If people want to believe that Jesus is the saviour, then let them. Why are people that choose not to believe so concerned about Jesus?
