If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago...?

Absolutely not, no one claiming to be a messiah in current times would be believed by anyone but thier core followers and once they were killed they would be forgotten.\n\n\n\nTo everyone who cited "freedom of religion", almost everyone who has started a cult and claimed to be a messiah in the last 30 or so years has been killed or died mysteriously.  We have "freedom of religion" just as long as we don't insult the mainstream.

Yes! I would also send out someone to pick up some food because there are so many disciples today! I love the word of God! The Good News! Jesus died not only for me but you and the rest of the world! Hosanna to the Highest! I would welcome anyone with open arms though!

Now can anyone seem to think of a reason why someone named ""shkwajid"" would want to stir people up against the Jews?\n\nThe Jews did not kill Jesus, even according to the Christian's New Testament itself.\n\nIn Matthew 27:2, Jesus had to be given over to the authorities, Rome, to be tried by the Governor of Rome, Pontius Pilate. 64 years before Jesus was born, the Jews had lost the land of Israel to Roman rule. The Jews had no power, no authority, to put anyone to death. Jesus was crucified. The Jewish way to give the death penalty was through stoning, as everyone knows. Crucifixion was a Roman form of execution, and they reserved it only for those who were seen as trying to overthrow the Roman government.\n\nAccording to Matthew 27:37, the sign placed by the Romans over Jesus's head read, "Jesus Christ King of the Jews." The text of Matthew in 27:37 calls this sign, "the accusation." In other words, the crime for which Jesus was crucified was for being, or having the pretense to be, the king of the Jews, INSTEAD of the Roman emperor, and this is according to the Christian's own New Testament! (see also Matthew 27:27-29)\n\nSo why does the Christian New Testament make it appear that the Jews wanted Jesus dead? Simply because by the time that the New Testament stories about Jesus (the Gospels) were being written, from 60 C.E. onward, the Jews were in open rebellion against Rome. The Early Christians did not want to be identified with the Jews, and they did not want Rome to think that Christians worshipped a man who was crucified by the Romans. So they wrote their New Testament so as to absolve the Romans from the responsibility of putting Jesus to death. This went so far as to put words in the mouth of "the Jews," that said "the Jews" accepted responsibility for Jesus's death, and that the guilt for it would be on their childrens' heads forever! (Matthew 27:25).\n\nOf course, this will not stop believing Christians from taking the New Testament at its word, and continuing to blame the Jews for Jesus's death.\n\nBUT, how then can we Jews respond to such a question, "Did the Jews kill Jesus?"\n\nThe very question itself makes us respond with our own collection of questions:\n\nWho are "the Jews" referred to in the question? Are they all Jews forever and ever? This would mean that if the people outside of the Huntsville, Texas, prison who cried FOR the death of Karla Faye Tucker (convicted of murdering her own kids i believe),were of Scottish origins, for example, then from now on all Scottish peoples, regardless of where they were at the time she was given the death penalty are guilty, forever, for her death?Remember that the people outside of the prison were not the ones, and could not have been the ones, who actually injected her with the fatal poisons. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of Jews in the world at the time of Jesus did not live in Israel, and would not have heard about any event taking place there for months after the event. News traveled so much slower then.\n\nLets pretend that "the Jews" back then really did kill Jesus (which they did not!). Since when are the children responsible, or culpable, for the sins of their parents? This very idea is UnBiblical! In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically states, "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin." Furthermore, in Ezekiel 18:20 it states, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." So the very idea that if Jews killed Jesus, which they did not, then the Jewish People forever is responsible for that sin is b

Jesus may or may not have been married.\n\nMary certainly was.

Jesus didn't do that.  People who create and modify religious practice did that.  Jesus has been dead for over 2000 yrs.

We were ALL born in to sin and since they rejected Him back then, I highly doubt that there would be much of a change today. Actually, I think it would be worse on Him now because of the different variances of religions worldwide.\n\nChristianity is scorned today and we do NOT suffer like Christians did "back then." He knew what He was doing when He was here 2,000+ years ago. People's hearts have hardened with sin worse now than ever before.

The Crusifiction of Christ and bring Jesus back to end all of this religious BS that is around today. I would come back in 1776 though.

It would be utopia and yes he has been here that long. Someday we will get to see how God intended for us to live during the millennium. You have to get saved to be ready for this wonderful experience.

I'm a Christian, so hopefully if it happenned for real I'd be one of the ones raptured up.  If not, I'd go directly to my church, figuring I'd lost my salvation, and I would pray to accept Jesus again!

They killed Jesus, but that was a long time ago and I'm sure they're sorry.

Maybe Jesus should have tried to "jew" down his death sentence.

Priory of Sion and Da Vinci notwithstanding, of course it is possible. Remember that there are many years in the life of Jesus not accounted for in the Bible. Anyone who thinks that he did not have relations during this time period is being a little naive. I'm not saying that there is a conspiracy, just that we need to look at him as a man. Now...what would Jesus do?

It wouldn't be any different than one dying. The Holy Spirit would help in selecting a new Pope, and the Church would go on until Jesus returns in glory. That would be the day when whoever is the current Pope would hand the keys back over to Jesus.

I would bring back jesus\n\nDuh!

Huh? Who is Jesus? Do you mean that jewish rabbi Jeshu that the greek christians renamed Jesus and claimed him as their God in the flesh? Didn't he already come back once? How many lives does that guy get any way? The last event would probably be "WORLD-WIDE PANIC"

She would have been ignored by the people and never rose to fame. Women were considered unclean and could not even eat with men. They were chattel. Nobody would take a female mystic serious in Israel. She would have done better to flee to some other land where women had a chance to thrive. Maybe Greece. Maybe Africa where there were queens like Sheba and Nefertiti and a history of women in power or being holy.\nIF she was born in Israel she would have been told to shut up and get married and start popping out babies.\nEven Jesus had to leave from ages 13-26 to be taken seriously when he returned as "no man is a prophet in his own land" You gotta be from somewhere else strange to impress. jesus was educated in India at the university of benares. it is the longest running school in the world and is still teaching. He came home and started teaching all this strange new lore of love and forgiveness and meditation and started up with desciples etc and made big waves for being wierd, we all know what eventually happened to him. After he was murdered for political reasons his followers started up a religion in his name and it got all twisted. the love and forgiveness part was all forgotten.\nHe was a notable guru but not appreciated by the swine he tried to teach. A woman would have had even worse luck that jesus. She wold be forgotten entirely as none would have set up a religion after she died.

I agree about bringing back Jesus, but he really isn't dead. \n\nI would bring back Abraham Licoln, because he was cool in a crisis and he could probably help out alot with this War in Iraq.
