Whoever you are, be careful what you say about Jesus. As a joke, your question is one easily answered. But it is obviously a direct reflection of your lack of knowledge, or faith. He was meant to be the picture of the lowest man, so that He could reach them. But I'd be willing to bet, if I was a gambling man, that you would tremble in fear if you were required to ask Him that to His face. Oh.. but you will.

I believe that he would.  Jesus was a definite  liberal of his time.  In my opinion, the introduction of the words sin, hell, and satan did not come from the man, Jesus.

it doesn't matter! if you are a good person and do good things good things will happen. If more people lived like that ,instead of worrying about Jesus or any other profit of saint, the world would be a better place!

Because it seems that Jesus love is conditional. And to be honest, I am not very happy with the management up there. After all, there is poverty, illness, cruelty unhappiness and war in the world. Why would we want a God like that? I respect your faith, but please don't try to sell it as something magnificent. Everyone has his her own path and it's up to them to discover it. The Fact that God would create  narrow path for a few to discover and deem worthy just makes him a discriminator. Why would I want a creator like that? Quality control anyone!?

Job prayed for a better life too, but he was withheld such glories for a time so that God would be glorified in His battles.\n\nIt's not about you!  (It's not about me, either)

No. Who cares. I think it makes him more relatable to a lot of people. He was human as well as divine.

I think that the character Jesus would not hate anyone, however, the man Jesus would be disgusted with over 95% of his so called followers.

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.

Illegal or not, Jesus would have gone willingly. That is interesting though. Thanks for calling attention to that.

Jesus saved me from all the bad stuff going on in the neighborhood. Some of my old friends are gone, on drugs or in jail. If Jesus had not come into my life I might be dead. I will always be thankful. Some of us have a lot to be thankful for. I pray every day, and it is a rare day I don't reat the Bible. I will never get over what He did to me-I am a changed man-and have been since March 25, 1990. Praise Jesus name.

Yes, He does, when the man in The Bible was brought to Jesus and He was lowered through the roof we are not told He as A believer, in fact Jesus when He healed the man that had been crippled by the pool for over 40 years never asked do you believe, He asked "do you want to be made better" Jesus asked that because He was going to leave the old way of Life for something else, He like you and me, once Jesus comes into ones life is NEVER the same, God does do miracles, that is one of the reason we become christians is because the way Jesus deals with us non christians, we "became christian bellievers" because of the Love of Jesus in that while we were still sinners He died for us. wgr88@yahoo.com email me I will respond, God Bless ya.

To answer your last question, yes, I feel this way too. Jesus did not condone hypocrites- like some people in our government, and he does not condone the rest of us blindly following them. I am not a libertarian, as you suggest you might be, but I definitely agree that the current people running things are not promoting  the best interests of the people. You should not be reported for speaking your mind, you should be commended. To answer your first question, Yes- I am going to vote.

PAUL the Apostle had wealth, so much that one of the Ruler's back then, was hoping to get some of it. JESUS was wealthy as a Baby.  (the Wise Men brought HIM alot of money and wealthy thing's).  JESUS had so much money for HIS Ministry, HE had to appoint a Treasurer over it (Judas).. We start out as Baby Christian's, and hopefully we will Learn and Grow.  If a kid trie's to do Adult thing's, he could get hurt.  Growing up in the Spirit, just about like growing up in the EARTH.  You have to learn, try thing's till you get them to work for you, and get big enough to do some other thing's!!!!\np.s. Did you ever wonder why JESUS put Judas over the Money????  JESUS was trying to MAKE a MAN out of JUDAS.!!!!  It didn't work, but that's just like JESUS, JESUS has a lot of MERCY!!!!!  HE LOVE's us and is trying to HELP US GROW!!!!   Ditto!!!!!!  Hope this helps!!!!

I agree in an obscure way. I believe that it is a sin to put our own needs first instead of doing what Jesus says to do and that is to love our neighbor as ourselves. If we all did that there would be no poverty, but Jesus knows everything; thus He knows that man will love ourselves most....which causes some to be rich and more to be poor.

I think people's faith would be more real, more indepth if we lived in a country where Christianity was persecuted, but we probably wouldn't have as many members. I praise God that we do live in a country where we are free & not persecuted to worship & practice our religion. A lot of the times, being the 'norm' helps people come to Him, but a lot of other times, it usually makes for a shallow relationship, and it dies off in a couple of months or years...

sure, sure.  i think you could be bought.  if enough christians all sent you a lot of money you might even turn into an evangelist, then you could get girls too.  christians are a fairly money oriented group.  I heartily endorse yr campaign.\n\nSo come on people, buy this guy off>>>>>>>he needs his soul saved.  give early, give often.  give til it hurts.
