And Jesus seems like such a nice guy...?

I reckon that it's only the people you KNOW are christian that are like this. The LOUD christians who shout about their faith like it's some sort of medal to be proud of.\n\nThe quiet, humble Christians (and I'm now using the capital "C") have a personal relationship with God and don't need to shout out about it. They do exist, and you probably meet them every day, you just don't recognise them as Christian. But you might know them by their actions, rather than their words.

Yes, as a whole, I do think that, as a Christian, I have a better outlook on society.\nGod thinks we are all worth His attention, He seems to think there is good in us that makes us worthy of salvation.\nAs long as He sees the good in humanity, can I do any less?

I would say... Peter... and the reason why I find myself relating to him is because if you recall he was always zealuos and eager to do things... But in the time Jesus was taken by the Romans he was the first to deny him. But in the end he repented from his mistakes and still had faith that he would be forgiven for his sins...  I am the same way very zealous and eager to do good work...but at the same..time I fall victim to sin and realzie that I am not as great as I think I am..=)   But always stay faith full through it all..

Finally a Christian speaking and acting like one! Wish all the Christians were like you, the world would be such a better place! And...just to set the record straight, not all Atheists are so rude and respectless like the guy who wrote that silly question; I'm not a Christian but I do have a great respect for Christians like you and for Jesus who has been one of the greatest men ever existed ( God's son or not, his value is undeniable).

Jesus says:\n\n"I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me,just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep."\n\nHe loves you, always has, and came for this purpose. Do you believe his words? He has already answered you.\n\nDon't listen to all these donatists (or would-be pharisees) telling you you are going to hell. You are the branch of his vine. Just as much as any of your donatist accusers - maybe moreso, given the humility with which you approach Him. And you will be with him, in that great hour when every tear is wiped away.\n\nAnd in parting, I quote Chris Rice's great song, "Take your candle, and go light your world."

Jesus is my hero...)(

I think Jesus was a rebel and totally cool.  He didn't like "religious" people, because they were self-righteous.  I think He was/is compassionate, loving, humorous, passionate, loyal, faithful, forgiving, and willing to die for all of us so that we could live forever.  And, of course, He did.  But, thank God the Father, He rose from the dead and now lives in us believers and intercedes for us with our Father in Heaven.  I think, also, that He was/is very understanding and empathetic towards what we have to go through in this world.  He knows what it's like to be tempted and to be persecuted for teaching the truth.  I think He is  a lot like we are, only sinless.  Peace.

I'd smile and say hello. Not because I agree with the horrible things he did, but because he was human. If he truly repented and was saved, and he truly went to heaven, that is a wonderful thing. It's wonderful if anyone does. And if God is able to forgive him, imagine how loving God must be!

I am very surprised that this had no replies before me!\nI probably am not the best person to answer as Im not particularly religious.  I was brought up attending church but to me Jesus is pretty much just a fictional character in a very old book ( that probably wasnt translated very accurately anyway!)...;

He is OK. God loves him and knows that this world sometimes is just too much to take.\n\nSadly, the world is missing out on a sensitive person who could have changed things.

I actually had a conversation with him the other day.  He's a close personal friend of mine.  He's really a lot more talkative than they make him out to be in the Bible and he doesn't always talk in parables.

He seems to be a decent, intelligent, honest, God fearing human being. We had many bad white presidents. Give him a chance.

nope sorry! is he a nice guy?

Yes I believe in Him.  What do I think about Him?  That He is the perfection of all fine things.  That He knows me better than I know myself.  That His love is endless, His mercy is boundless, and He will never leave nor forsake me, no matter what a fool I am.  I love Him with all my heart and the day I see His face will be the most beautiful day of my existence.

Yep, more than likely.  Can you imagine people embracing a man who claims to be Jesus, can perform on the spot miracles , rose from the dead, etc?  Not many people would take a word of it seriously and would chalk it off to the ravings of a lunatic.\n\nFor all we know Jesus HAS been alive, walking our streets and being ridiculed.  People are so firm in their belief but refuse to entertain the possibility that a man who supposedly can do such miraculous deeds is unable to be alive today.  Those same people look to their priest or pastor and have no problem believing that god spoke to them in order to pass along his message(s).  Who made the rule that god can't speak to just regular people?\n\nAs for you saying that god spoke to you, if that is your truth, then that's the truth!  You just have to be careful in who you decide to tell.

I think Jesus is more excellent than any other. I'm not though, I'm just an average person like everyone else. I may be more "excellent" at some things than others and there are others who are more "excellent" than I am at other things.
