No one has perished yet.\n\nDeath of the flesh is not death of the entity that dwelt there.\n\nFree from the bondage of sin.

Jesus said: NO MAN comes to the Father but BY ME! Jesus is the only one to die and rise again. God himself said" This is MY beloved son who I am well pleased. JESUS said many will come after me...DON'T BELIEVE THEM...so I don't believe the other who have come AFTER JESUS!

Man, I understand where your coming from.  I've studied other religions and looked into this Jesus and I've asked the same question and many more.  Jesus is special for a number of reasons.  Yes, there were many people who crucified as saviors before and after Jesus.  We still get people popping up claiming divinity.  The real question isn't so much as is Jesus the savior because he got a few books written about him, its why were there books written about him in the first place.  The most basic point anyone can show you is this...its not that Jesus died, its that he rose after his death.  And there is more evidence that he did actually rise 3 days later and not just Biblical evidence.  First off, the fact that the Roman leaders and armies wanted him gone, because it was the time of Pass Over which is the celebration of Jews getting out of Egypt, and at this time of year, the Jewish community gets a little out of hand, for the are now under the Roman rule.  So when Jesus comes in, and he's claiming to be their savior...the crowd thinks he's going to be a king and run the Romans out.  So, if Jesus didn't rise again, why did the Romans say nothing?  Why did the Jewish Pharaseas (please excuse my spelling) who pushed to have him killed, not stand up and say..."he's still dead!"?  What was it that gave Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John the confedance to step out of their hidding, for fear they were going to be crucified, and boldly speak of a living God, Jesus...and welcome their death?  These questions may seem weak, but if you really think about them and look at the history and try to get in the minds of all these people...only one thing makes since...Jesus is not dead...he rose, becoming a savior that no one expected, but a savior from ourselves.  Thats why Jesus is special, the others were saviors...they were fanatics.  There are a lot of other reasons why Jesus is special, but I honestly have the feeling that if this thought doesn't at least make you rethink the history, then anything else I say, will truly be pointless.

Both early teaching and the scriptures state it must be in the name of the Trinity.  Jesus gives everything to the Father.  The Spirit enlivens us.  To do it in the name of Jesus alone is to miss an important aspect of Christianity.

Exactly.  Why did Jesus HAVE to die?  Why was it necessary?  Why did God set that rule?  God could've just as easily said "Jesus, if you pick that daisy over there, you will become the redeemer of mankind".  It could've been that easy.  But no.  God had to REQUIRE that his only son let himself be killed in a brutal, excruciating way.

There are a lot of voices vying for our attention, so why should anyone consider Jesus above, say, Muhammad or Confucius, Buddha, or Charles Taze Russell, or Joseph Smith? After all, don't all roads lead to Heaven? Aren't all religions basically the same? The truth is all religions do not lead to Heaven just as all roads do not lead to Indiana.\n\n \n\nJesus alone speaks with the authority of God because Jesus alone conquered death. Muhammad, Confucius, and the others molder in their graves to this very day, but Jesus, by His own power, walked away from the tomb three days after dying on a cruel Roman cross. Anyone with power over death deserves our attention. Anyone with power over death deserves to be heard.\n\n \n\nThe evidence supporting the resurrection of Jesus is overwhelming. First, there were over five hundred eye-witnesses of the risen Christ! That is a lot of eye-witnesses. Five hundred voices cannot be ignored. There is also the matter of the empty tomb; the enemies of Jesus could have easily stopped all talk of the resurrection by producing His dead, decaying body, but there was no dead body for them to produce! The tomb was empty! Could the disciples have stolen His body? Hardly. To prevent such a contingency, the tomb of Jesus had been heavily guarded by armed soldiers. Considering His closest followers had fled in fear at His arrest and crucifixion, it is most unlikely this ragtag band of frightened fishermen would have gone head to head against trained, professional soldiers. The simple fact is that the resurrection of Jesus cannot be explained away!

The OT altars were all done in order to enter into God's presence ie the HOLY of HOLIES...now, we can come directly to God through Jesus Christ, who tore down the veils of the temple when He died, signifying that we now need NO mediator like they did in the OT...(the reason for the altars)...we come straight to the throne....He would NOT like it...it's offering a sacrifice to Him, and Jesus was the ULTIMATE sacrifice. It would be an affront!

Dear me.....Jesus who died for you is God in the flesh he has been a part of God forever and he is in total agreement with the father now understand a first born son could be 999 years old also understand that the passover happens today if you do not have the blood of Jesus covering your sins you are a dead man. Seek God and his word for understanding.God's nature is the same today yesterday and tommorow. It is righteous and merciful...God's righteousness demands we be perfect and yet we are not. It is the reason God willingly laid down his flesh to atone for your sin.

The concept of someone dying for our sins goes against all the principles that God has laid on earth for us.  It throws the idea of accountability out the window.  If he truly died for our sins, then there shouldn't be anymore sin.  But the fact is, the world is more corrupt now than ever before.\n\nAlso, after he supposedly died on the cross, he allegedly rose from the dead.  Doesn't that nullify his death and thus nullify the sacrifice??  He's no longer dead, so my sins are no longer washed (that's assuming the concept hold to begin with).\n\nIt doesn't add up.  One day we will all face God and we will be held accountable for every little deed, good or bad.  God will ask Jesus whether he instructed people to worship him, and Jesus will say 'no'.\n\nAnd God only knows best.

Jesus becomes the way, the truth, and the life. So Jesus is no longer a man but a representation of those things. Therefore...\n\nThe only way to the father is through truth and life, not Jesus.

I hope he's okay.  \n\nWho would have thought that I would miss the phrase, "Come to Jesus, you heretics."?

The answer by Spider is not correct. Jesus was resurrected and we, his followers will be resurrected when he returns at the end of time.\nMaranatha!

This is a good dilemma for the Born Again crowd.  Of course to those of us who belong to church of revealed rather than traditional religion it poses no problem.  God the Father and Jesus Christ are NOT the same person.  The Bible never teaches that they are the same person.  Therefore there is no problem about what God the Father was doing at the time His son was born into mortality.  They are two separate and distinct personages.  Both members of the Godhead--NOT the trinity as apostate Christians attempt to explain.

Whether or not Jesus was mortal shouldn't really matter, so far as I know. Jesus was supposed to die for humanity's sins so we could accept him as a savior, etc. The part about him bodily going to heaven after being resurrected was just a last miracle, a last hurrah, and to me doesn't seem necessary to the story. It would be easily enough taken as metaphor instead of literal anyway if physical proof came up to the contrary. Though you'd have to realize, with religious folk what is scientific isn't proof enough; heck, they don't believe in the dinosaurs half the time.

Jesus did Die. \n \nJesus did Rise from the dead. \n\nBut Jesus never died the second time. Instead He went straight to heaven exactly forty days after he rose from the dead.  \n\n The Wages of sin IS death... Jesus died on the cross to pay for all the sin in the world. He paid for it so that we wouldn't have to pay for it. He died for all sin... He was sinless, so he was a perfect sacrifice. All we have to do is accept his gift. He is offering you it. Just accept Jesus as your Savior. Accept what he did on the cross for you. If you don't, you will have to pay for your sins in Hell, for an eternity.

jesus was nither GOD nor the son of GOD..he was one of his most pious and high rated messenger n prophet...he was not entrusted with the powers 2 make others believe in god or the right path..he was here 2 teach n preach...n 2 spread th religion of god...he didnt die....he will be coming back before the day of judgement...but it was certainly not jesus's job 2 make every1 beleieve n act upon what was rite...it was then left to the ppl's discretion either 2 chose or deny the right path....
