Read his letters.  He was an extremely insightful and intelligent man.  He received his revelations of the Christian life first hand, meaning he didn't borrow from anyone other than the teachings of Christ and his disciples.  His instruction to other believers and churches were brilliant.\n\nHis testimony was something to beheld as well.  Here is a man who was a PHARISSEE.  He pursecuted Christians.  After his Damascus road experience, he immediately gave his life to Christ.  The change he went through is a hallmark of the restorative power of Jesus.\n\nBut, there's always a but, because of Paul's past, many are quite skepitcal of his teachings.  I understand why they would be.  But everything he teaches is supported elsewhere in scripture either by other epistles (mostly written before Paul's letters) or by the Old Testament examples he uses to illustrate his point.  \n\nSo, I think its inaccurate to view his contribuition as an usurping of the Christian faith.

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..

Jesus was a perfect man in mind and body.  All the portrayals I have seen of Jesus are hard to look at, scraggely hair, skinny,sunken in cheeks. That is not perfect. We know he had to have been well built to endure the beating he took before his death. It's hard to imagine what he looks like but I believe that since he was a perfect man he was beautiful beyond words.

I WOULD THANK HIM FOR GIVING HIS LIFE FOR AN OLD SINNER LIKE ME!! I WOULD THANK HIM FOR ALL THE MERCY AND GRACE HE HAS SHOWN TO ME! I WOULD THANK HIM FOR ALL THE TIMES HE HAS KEPT ME FROM HARM! I WOULD THANK HIM FOR THE PEACE THAT REALLY YOU JUST CANT UNDERSTAND! THANK HIM FOR SAVING THE WORLD- ASK HIM WHY WOULD ONE NOT BOW AT HIS FEET AND CRY HOLY HOLY IS THE LAMB OF GLORY!! I WOULD WIPE HIS FEET WITH MY HAIR. KISS HIS NAIL SCARED HANDS! TOO, I WOULD  ASK WHAT HE FELT LIKE WHEN PETER DENIED HIM 3 TIMES, ASK HIM COULD I PLEASE HAVE THE SAME KIND OF COMPASSION FOR PEOPLE! I WOULD ASK HIM HOW HE FELT WHEN SATAN PUT HIM ON THE PENNICALE AND TOLD HIM HE COULD HAVE ALL HE SEEN -WOULD HE JUST WORSHIP HIM--I WONDER HOW JESUS PUT UP WITH HIM-BUT HE DID! I WANT STRENGTH- LIKE THAT!!! THAT IS WHY WE BETTER PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD!! THEN I WOULD JUST LIKE FOR HIM TO HOLD ME- WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR- WOW THERE IS ALOT I HOPE TO ASK HIM ONE DAY--BYE

peter\n\nMatthew 14:30\nThen Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"

I think that it depends on the person.  My brother went crazy with christianity.  After his mission, he would take things from us that he didn't feel was alright for us to have and would lecture us about the way we live and what we would do.

Yes, Jesus was a man and although he was perfect, he had all the features of other people . Even children were drawn to him, so he didn't stand out as different than anyone else. His ability to teach and help others showed his love and concern for all around him. He truly was the greatest man who ever lived.

I think that's a great question that most of these other answers should think about a little more.\n\nDo I believe that he exsisted? Yes, it has been proven that a man named Jesus was crucified by the Romans as depicted in the bible.\n\nDo I believe he was "the Christ"? Tough one. I like the "idea" of what He stood for. (the new covenant)\n\nNobody can be certain (at least while alive) if this is at all the truth, however, like I said, I like the thought of it, so I try to act in accordance with His beliefs.\n\nAll I can do is the best I can do.

I  feel completely happy since I accepted Jesus in my heart.\n  He is my best friend and He  has done great things for me\n  since I was a teenager. I will always believe in Him because I\n  know that  He  exits.  I haven't seen Him, but I have felt his pre-\n  sence in my life.

Yes.  I was in a...situation, where I was very suddenly, and I mean suddenly in great danger.  Danger so brutally terrible, that I had no time to think and very well could have died a terrible death and there was nothing I could do to prevent it.  I didn't consider myself a very religious person, but when the time came, I instinctively asked for Jesus to help me.  When I say instinctively, I mean it was like a reflex reaction.  Automatic, and natural.  Help was delivered.  I know many folks won't believe me, and that's ok.  It's an honest answer.  He's there, here, everywhere.  It's a great comfort to me.  It's changed my life, as you can imagine.

In Matthew 27:42\n\n"He saved others, but he can't save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.\n\nThat's the closest I can find.\n\nYou probably typed in the wrong statement?

No.\n\nApperently god promised him that he would not dash a foot on the rocks.  Remember?  Satan reminded him of that when he was tempting him.  I was given no such promise.  I think Jesus could take the fall.

I thank God for the movie "The Passion of the Christ".\n\nBefore I was saved, in a fit of rage, I beat somebody with my bare hands until they no longer looked human.  Until this movie, nothing ever even came close to that description, so every time I read or heard Isaiah 52, the enemy would bring back my memories, and I would feel the guilt.\n\nThis movie is very close to reality of appearance, but I genuinely feel that no actor will ever be able to portray with Biblical accuracy the anguish our Savior endured for us.

Yes, and so much more.  He gave His place at the right hand of God, would you?\n\nWould you give your life?  Would you give your own Sons life?  doubtful.

Yes, we are told that he was tempted a lot more than just the three times in the wilderness.  In fact, the scriptures say he was tempted in every way we are, yet without sinning.  This means he can be totally sympathetic to the struggle we have when we are tempted and be an advocate for us with the Father for forgiveness when we sin.  But since he did not sin, he is also the power we can turn to by allowing him to live in us in all fullness, to resist temptation.

it was Awesome, about being a soldier for Christ, not just giving in when the going gets tough or telling our commander in Chief (Jesus) no when we don't want to do something, self sacrifice for the lost. *2 Timothy 2:1-15*  endure hardship like a good soldier.
