Jesus is the main figure of the New Testament and claims to be the main figure of the Old Testament as well by fulfilling their prophecies.  He claimed he has yet to fulfill ALL prophecy concerning him.  He is in no way a "prophet" as followers of Islam claim.  He claimed to be the Messiah and the Son of God.  In doing that he went way beyond being a prophet.  He said "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father but through me!"  The New Testament authors bear witness to his claims and give accounts to support them as well.  \nAny given church may or may not teach you more about Jesus. Jehovah Witnesses in particular (Watchtower publications) do not view Jesus as God incarnate, but A God and have their own unique version of the Old and New Testaments for this reason with alterations to the original manuscript. \nBy getting your own version of the New Testament and reading it yourself you will be better able to determine errant Christianity from biblical Christianity. I suggest NIV, New King James, or NAS versions for accuracy and readability.  Call help lines or whatever to get answers to things you don't get while READING specifically so you are not easily misled.

Most of Christianity is borrowed form other religions. I don't know about Jesus though. I guess you have to ask yourself what would someone gain from making up the story of Jesus? WHO would benefit. Then you have to take all of the information you can gather and make the decision for yourself whether you think it is true of not.

it would be impossible to record an account of Jesus' life for the mere fact of it being of such greatness. books could not possibly hold all that He ever did. that is why in the bible, it focuses on the main ministry of Jesus Christ. but i can only tell you, you would have to see for yourself. i encourage you to, accept Him as savior and form a relationship with Him. all the questions you have will be taken care of, and you will experience what it is to live your TRUE life. if you have any further questions, feel free to e-mail me. May the Lord Bless You Abundantly!!!

You can't because Faith is believing that in God's revealed word and trusting Him without outside influence. (However I could point you to some facts not listed in scripture that support the Bible, and also aren't the values in the Bible good, before some guy rattled off all these really great values, but they are nothing with JESUS.\nGive a specific question I will answer it specifically, email me.

Great question.\n\nIf we are taught to pray to God the Father, then how are we to spend time getting to know Jesus?\n\nTo answer this question, I would like to spend some time looking at how we communicate with the Father. We’ll start here in John 1:1,14. Here we read, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” The Word who was with God and who was God is Jesus Christ. He is the one who became flesh and dwelt among us. When the passage here in John 1:1 says the Word was with God, it is speaking of God the Father. It’s saying that the Son of God was with the Father in eternity and was there “in the beginning” when God the Father chose to make the world. In fact it was through his Son, that the Father would choose to bring all things into existence. We see this explained further in Colossians 1:15-17 where Paul says, “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” God created the world, and he created the world through the Word, His Son – the Lord Jesus Christ. The fact that God has chosen to create the world and bring things into existence through his Son is all over the Bible. Take for instance John 1:2-3. The apostle John, speaking of Christ, says, “He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.” Jesus Christ is the creator of the world, and as we are reminded of in John 1:1, not only was he with God the Father but he also was deity himself. That’s what it means when it says that the Word was with God, and the Word was God. It means that the Word was with God the Father and was himself deity. I say all of this to bring us back to John 1:14, where we started. It says, “And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” The glory of God is what is being spoken of here, and that glory has been displayed where? In the Son of the Father – in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us. John then goes on to say in verse 16, “And from his fullness (the fullness of Christ) we have all received grace upon grace.” So we all receive grace from Christ, the Son of the Father. For as John will go on to say in verse 17, “the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” So already we see here that Jesus is the one whom not only displays the glory of God the Father, but also is the one who we receive grace and truth from. If we want to see the glory of God, if we want grace and truth, then we go to Jesus. Jesus is our “Go-To” guy. He is the one we go to for these things. John instructs us more on this relationship that we are to have with the Father’s Son in John 1:18. He says, “No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.” The short answer to your question would be this: When we pray to God the Father, we do not pray apart from His Son. It is in His Son – the Lord Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. Jesus is the one who has made the Father known. So if we want to get to know the Son more, what do we do? We spend time with his Father. That doesn’t make much sense does it? Oh but it does! You see the only way we can spend time with the Father is by spending time with his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. For it is through Jesus and only through Jesus that we can even know the Father. This is why Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes

You will need to check all directions and guidance from what the Bible teaches anyway so one of the best things you can do is to read and study and familiarise yourself with The Bible - a bit like the Bereans in Acts17/11.\n\nGod through the Holy Spirit is able to guide and lead and open your understanding, especially through The Bible. Just ask Him, and watch and pray.\n\nHaving said that it can be very helpful to have someone who can help spiritually and I strongly suggest you pray to God Himself to provide you with someone suitable. He is well able and it would be a good spiritual excercise to place it in His hands and wait on Him for His answer while you look.\n\nIn addition, if you are able to meet with other Christians that can be very encouraging and helpful and probably it is best to take time to get to know them to find out who is trusworthy and Biblically sound.\n\nMay God's provision prevail.

Jesus is simple, just ask him out for a cup of coffee.  If things go well you can follow it up with dinner and a movie.  The best thing is to not be to direct and make sure that you listen more then you talk.  That way, he knows you are interested in him.  Good luck.

If you want to know the true God you must search!\n\nProverbs 2:1 My son, if you will receive my sayings and treasure up my own commandments with yourself, 2 so as to pay attention to wisdom with your ear, that you may incline your heart to discernment; 3 if, moreover, you call out for understanding itself and you give forth your voice for discernment itself, 4 if you keep seeking for it as for silver, and as for hid treasures you keep searching for it, 5 in that case you will understand the fear of Jehovah, and you will find the very knowledge of God.\n\nMatthew 13:44 “The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and for the joy he has he goes and sells what things he has and buys that field.\n\n1 John 4:1Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.\n\n\nLet this be one of your stops while you are searching, http://watchtower.org There you will find Gods name, and any other question you may have about God, and it is all according to the bible. Or if you like you can contact me.

In our congregation, you'll hear more of them all.\n\ndid you forget about Him? NO\ndid you know that He is the one who created Jesus inside his mother womb and sent him to you? The Father created Christ's flesh but begot his spirit.\ndid you know that He is the one who created you Not Jesus? Huh?\n\nGod said the truth on the Quran: whoever said God is equal to three Or God is Jesus son of marry, have disbelieved. i can understand this conecpt now.\n-->but the bible, spoke of something else....well, that depend on which will you believe.......\n\n\nPS. Real Christians are NOT going to tell you that God and Jesus are the same thing. They (not real christians but pretending to be ones) just don't understand the scripture. Remember that Christ said "My Father is greater than I"

There is no ( or at the very least, precious little) evidence of a person called Jesus outside of the bible.  Xians will say Josephus mentioned him, but in fact, the only translation we have of Josephus was done by a christian writer in the 4th century...we don't have it in the original Latin.  And what is mentioned is very weak and open to interpretation and very likely was subject to interpolation.\n\nThe Romans were meticulous record keepers.  If Jesus existed, and had fostered the kind of revolution that would get their attention by threatening Roman rule, performing miracles, there would be copious writings about him from the Romans, and other sources.\n\nPaul the Apostle is agreeably the earliest christian writer, and he wrote probably a couple decades after the putative events.  Yet Paul makes no reference to a recently living Christ...and if you read his works separate from the rest of the NT, he seems to be writing of a supernatural creature who fought a battle, died and rose again in a spiritual realm, eons ago.  Paul went to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and yet he makes no mention of a pilgramage to Golgotha, or the tomb or any sites that would be shrines to a real person recently living, crucified and risen again ascending into heaven. Paul is bizarrely disinterested in anything relating to a real physical Jesus.\n\nAll other accounts, were written much later.  The earliest Gospel of Mark (by the way, it wasn't written by anybody called Mark, it is anonymous) couldn't have been written any earlier than 40-50 years after the events.  The Gospels all contradict each other as to Jesus life, miracles and death.  I recommend any of Randall Helms books on the New Testament and Gospels for a detailed overview of the problems.\n\nIt really is quite interesting if you are prepared to have an open mind about it.  Jesus, if he existed, was at best a wandering prophet/holyman/philospher.  We have lots of legendary heroes with stories about them, like King Arthur, William Tell...but we know they never actually existed.  I think it more likely he never actually existed, and was created as a "founding father" in the heroic tradition by the early church.

These are all part of the same myth.\nNot much is known about the life of Jesus as he was unimportant in his own lifetime. Subsequent generations have filled in the gaps with their own speculation.\nAs you can see from some of the answers.
