Even His name has changed! The letter "J" wasn't invented until 1630! Up until then, the letter "Y" was used.\nI keep trying to tell you Christian folks His name wasn't/isn't Jesus. That's simply the anglicized version of His Hebrew name.

That's what he said, and, if you think about it, it is absolutly true.  In the beginning Jesus led a sect of Jews.  Then the gentliles who began to follow Jesus didn't like the Jewish regulations, so, they split off.  That began a long history of the  followers of Jesus splitting over and over again, often over things Jesus said nothing at all about.

What must we teach to help others to become disciples of Christ? Jesus commanded his followers: “Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19, 20) Thus, we must teach the things that Christ commanded. What, though, will help to ensure that an individual who is taught Jesus’ commandments will not only become a disciple but also remain one? One key factor is seen in Jesus’ careful choice of words. Note, he did not merely say: ‘Teach them all the things I have commanded you.’ Rather, he said: ‘Teach them to observe all the things I have commanded you.’ (Matthew 19:17) What does that imply?\n\n To observe a command means to “conform one’s action” to a command—to obey, or keep, it.\n\nWhat Jesus was saying here was:  A Christian teaches another person the Word of God, if they accept this teaching from the Bible & become a Christian themselves, then they are under the same commandment because Jesus said:  "For them to observe the same commandment" to teach & make Disciples also.

An Aramaic scholar tells me that nowhere in the original texts of the Bible [written in Aramaic, soon after Jesus was crucified] was it mentioned that Jesus [or anyone else, for that matter !] said that he is the Son of God.\n...Jesus actually said 'WE are the CHILDREN of God' - to imply that all human beings are equal in God's eyes.\n...But in subsequent translations, the intepreters [who already had the setting-up of a powerful religion in their minds] conveniently changed Jesus' statement from the plural to the singular. And [male chauvinists, all !] corrected the gender-neutral 'children' into 'son(s)' as well !\n...If we take Jesus' own words [spoken in Aramaic] into account, then all of humanity [including Jesus !] will be children of God.\n...But, several people [including even some christians] found it [and still find it] difficult to digest the mis-translated statement that Jesus himself claimed that he alone was the 'son of God' !\n...From the overall image that one has of Jesus, he comes through as a thorough gentleman - who cannot really be associated with mouthing such 'tall claims' !\nThose are the handiwork of Jesus' 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations of 'followers' - who needed such crudities as 'prop's for their 'campaigns' !

Answer is quite long so hope that u will read it. \nU are MISINTERPRETING Jesus' meaning in this passage since a sound rule of exegesis is to interpret scripture in light of scripture. Once this is done, we discover the true meaning of Jesus' words:\n\n"The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 'If you are the Son of God,' he said, 'throw yourself down from here. For it is written: "He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."'\nJesus answered, 'It says: "Do not put the Lord your God to the test."'" Luke 4:9-12\n\nIn light of this passage, Jesus was not telling his followers to go around picking up snakes or drinking poison. Christ's point was that no matter what the enemy tries to do in thwarting the efforts of the believers, he will never succeed. This is based solely on the promises of Christ that his authority rests upon all true believers to accomplish his will in our lives:\n\n"'The seventy-two returned with joy and said, 'Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.' He replied, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.'" Luke 10:17-20 \n\nThe Holy Bible proceeds to document how Jesus' promises in Mark 16 were fulfilled in the lives of true believers:\n\n"When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. Utterly amazed, they asked: 'Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs-we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!' Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, 'What does this mean?'" Acts 2:1-12\n\n"The apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Colonnade. No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number. As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by. Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by evil spirits, and all of them were healed." Acts 5:12-16\n\n"God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them. Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, 'In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.' Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. [One day] the evi

What? Jesus never said lets leave Judah. What? all the prophets say Israel will "win" in the last days. What> jesus said you wont see me again untill the last days as he assended . What? yet he appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus (the very man that hates jesuses followers)and gives him a plan to bring jesus to the heathens .    Jesus revealed many things to his disiples he never said this man would come along and set the way the new formed congregations (or there even should be congregations) conduct there buisiness. Once established, being set aside from judah, being involved in war and oppression ever since and Judah has been the victim many times ,but now Israel is home Christianity will be used to defend Judah and its rights till the final day. What an interesting arena   this human game is being played out in. I wish I was around to see the Dinosaur game being played! All 66 books are important, probably even more! (ps  ------  try to establish who wrote the scripts for the opposing players oh if you believe somthing  you just end up trying to prove what you belive and will have trouble really seeing the facts)  love to all

Jesus would jump.  Jesus would float.  Jesus would crawl though a tunnel.  But, Jesus would not learn to speak English.

oh definately, you are so right! I feel I can add to this...I also believe that, if Jesus had nothing to say on the subject, and if his disciples too, had nothing to say on the subject...if nothing can be found in the collected mythology of the nomadic tribes that form Jesus's ancestry, and noone can be found to say anything that sounds like Jesus or his disciples or his nomadic ancestors could have said it, and if we cannot imagine ourselves what he might have done.........we should look to the Easter bunny for inspiration.

Study His Word which is His Spirit.\n\nJoh 14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. \n\nYou don't get any closer than that.

lemme get this straight... he (Jesus) said that he is a prophet, and 'peter' said he is the son of god... so jesus doesn't admit it to himself? \n\nstarr ww agrees that jesus was a prophet, but became a saviour when he died which mean who made him what he is? DID HE? OR DID YOU? unless he screams from the cross "I'm doing this for you people, you better be thanking me and make me your god or something, cos this thing hurts like a b****"

Did you speak in true tongues (languages) or incomprehensible\ngibberish? you would do better to obey the commandments and have charity (love)\n\n(Act 2:4)  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.\n(Act 2:5)  And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.\n(Act 2:6)  Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.\n(Act 2:7)  And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?\n(Act 2:8)  And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?\n(Act 2:9)  Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,\n(Act 2:10)  Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,\n(Act 2:11)  Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.\n(Act 2:12)  And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?\n\nThe time for tongues has ceased...\n1Co 13:8  Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. \n\n1Co 13:1  Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Check out Matthew 16:13-17:\n\nWhen Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is [I am]?"\n    "Well," they replied, "some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets."\n\n    Then he asked them, "Who do you say I am?"\n\n    Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."\n\n    Jesus replied, "You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being..."\n\nJesus pretty much told Peter that he was correct when he said that He was the Son of God.\n\nHere is another scripture:\n\nLuke 9:18-20 (similar to the previous one)

i'm sorry, but the people in Jesus time were not arguing. \nAt that time everyone supposedly spoke the same language (only 1). Different peoples from all over decided to build a tower to the sky that would reach Heaven. God was displeased with that and made it so there were many languages and people could no longer understand each other and as such ceased building the tower which was called The Tower of Babel.

The Bible has changed quite a bit over time and by different people.  It would be easy to switch one or two words around and get a completely different meaning.\nI would suggest you try looking at different Bibles and see the differences.  Maybe an older version might not have had that in it.\nThat line sounds to me like Jesus was justifying the Crusade, which I highly doubt he would have.

Aramaic would be my guess.
