people dont realize how many scriptures there are proving the father is higher than jesus...yes we respect him,he died for our sins,and we go THROUGH him to pray to god...but his whole purpose here was he wanted his father honored...\n(a12b13)no disrespect,but i think YOU should research..the trinity originated with the egyptians trio of gods...look in the encyclopedia...the word trinity is no where in the bible...

any of them surely? cos if Christians believe that everyone should trust in Jesus then any other religion takes people away from Jesus.

Jesus was an OK guy.  He believed that we should love one another.  It's the Christians that are really annoying.  Too often they think they have all the answers and it usually goes, "Jesus is the answer!" But what is the question?  Furthermore, when there is no doubt, there is no need for further inquiry, brain atrophies and emotions elicit violent anger when "true beliefs" are confronted by empirical evidence.  Intolerant certainty leads to arrogance, haughtiness, condescension, and self-righteousness.  I do not want to spend eternity with brain dead Christ fans.

I believe that Jesus is the Lord of all.  I believe he died for our sins, rose on the third to to sit by the Father in heaven.  I believe that he sent the Holy Spirit, which he called, The Comforter to abide within us.  I believe that he will come back again to claim those who declare him Lord.

Actually, we DO believe that Jesus (saws) is the Messiah. We do believe he was born of a miraculous birth, was a wonderful Prophet of his time, performed many miracles by the will of God, and left a legacy that all can benefit from. We also believe that he will return to destroy the anti-Christ and restore the world to peace before the Day of Judgement. There are only two topics that Muslims and Christians disagree on when it comes to Jesus. The first is that Jesus is God's son or a part of God; we believe God is One, there's no other like Him, He begets not, nor was He begotten, no one deserve worship but Him, and only He can judge us. We also do not believe in the crucifixion; we believe that instead of letting him be slaughtered, God rose him up to heaven where he awaits until his time to return. He is the only human in heaven whose body has not yet died. Aside from these two issues, we agree on pretty much everything else!\n\nHope it helps you and good luck and God bless!

I believe that Jesus is not a God.....He was a Prophet for Israelites but he was took by God to the Sky....the people that crussified by Israelites with help by Romans was his betrayal follower or Hawariyyin named Yahuza .....it took so long...but i believe that Jesus is Prophet and about his marriage with Mary Magdalene.....i was a lil' bit blur about it...

I have yet to meet a non-Christian (besides obvious trouble-stirrers who are just saying things for shock value) who doesn't acknowledge Jesus as a good teacher and example of humankind--even those who don't believe he existed. A story can have just as much power as the truth, and in many cases, far more.

I think religious wars and squabbles can be the most violent, Sol.  I do believe that Jesus is a real Person, but that SO many people have given Him such a bad name that not many people want anything to do with Him anymore.  However, history actually proves that the Person called Jesus did in fact rise from the dead, and that the Jewish leaders of the time planned a coverup story with the Romans to say that Jesus' body was stolen by His followers.  There's a book called "Evidence That Demands A Verdict" about the real, historical life of Jesus, His death, His resurrection, and His ascension out of earth to Heaven.  What I tell you is based on writings both outside of the Bible as well as from nonChristians.  You can do some research on it if you want to find out more.

that depends on what you mean by that question. \ni believe there once lived a man named jesus who tried to show mankind a better way to live and was executed under some lame excuse because he was becoming mighty inconvenient to the powers that be. i believe a good part of his teachings, though i don't believe in god.\ni believe jesus was a good man, 100% human, who loved, was probably married, might have had children. i believe he claimed to be the son of god only in the sense in which he believed that all men are the children of god. i believe he was the natural son of joseph and mary, or else of some other guy and mary - i don't believe in the immaculate conception.\ni believe he was taken down from the cross just on this side of death, that some of his followers knew it and helped him, and that on the third day he was recovered enough to get out with some help and fulfill the prophecy of his return. i believe the exertion killed them shortly after that. or else the powers that be found a way to finally kill him and dispose of the body discreetly.

I think they believe in the existence of Christ, but do not believe He is/was the Messiah.  But He is!

Very correct in your conclusion.  Even those in Jesus time with all the proofs they had still did not believe in Him and a lot of those that did, did not want to admit it as they would be counted as His followers and maybe lose their important job.  Same today with all the evidence, many will not believe if a building were to fall on them to show that was truth.  The extra personal truth is that Jesus is a personal Saviour that knocks at each of our hearts and we have to but let Him in or not.

I think that many people will start to pray for you from making a statement like that...\n\nWell, I can't realy convince you one way or the other on this topic being that it's not a forum for discussion, just a single answer for your one question...\n\nI can tell you what i believe...  I believe in Jesus.\n\nI can also say, there have been many people in the past that sought to prove Jesus was either just a man, or that he's fiction, and many of them, after everything, became christians...\n\nOne other thing to note, outside of current events (and say for the past could hundred years), Jesus being real, dieing on the cross, then comming back is one of the most (if not the most) documented events in history...   The Romans, who at the time didn't care about Jews for the most part, even recorded it into their records of history...\n\nThat's all i can realy say for now with out discussion...\n\nThanks.

Dude, you've been smoking too many Dan Brown books. \n\n\nI've heard all kinds of crazy theories about Jesus but that doesn't mean they're true. Where's the documentation? Where's the historical proof? Where's the corroboration from witnesses? That's the problem with too many people: They hear something totally out in left field and believe it without any sort of evidence or even despite evidence to the contrary.

I've always thought so..  Even if Jesus did exist (not saying he didn't), seems to me that the church will read the bible how it wants to, and what is that if not an attempt to control the masses and force them to behave acceptably?

Seems to me that you also believe something blindly and narrowly... that you are right. Isn't that the real problem? That most people have deeply felt beliefs and believe they are right, and have a hard time tolerating others with different views? Your opinion and decisions about religions, our origins, and so on are valid, but so are mine. You speak of religious people being narrow minded, and refer to people like yourself as broad-minded. But, isn't it narrow minded to label any one group of people? You are saying that you don't like having a religious person's views imposed on you. But, in the same breath, you impose your beliefs on us, and label "anyone believing" as unfulfilled, and unintelligent. How exactly does that make sense? Since the group you are speaking of (religious people) is a group I belong to, perhaps I should enlighten you by letting you know that I'm not imposing my beliefs on anyone. I'm am quite ready to talk to those who would listen or have questions, and I am quite ready to listen to others. Do I believe blindly and narrowly? Well, if I didn't believe 100% in my God, that would make me a hypocrite who is wasting my time. If that says to you that I am either blind or narrow, then so be it. But you might consider that our time on earth may be better spent discussing issues without judgment - oh, but wait, Jesus told us not to judge, so I guess that won't work, huh?

If you claim that Jesus was only one of these three choices:::\n\n1) A lunatic (for claiming to be God in the flesh)\n2) A liar (for claiming to be God in the flesh)\n3) Exactly who He said He was (God in the flesh)\n\nthen you give me no choice but to say he was a liar.\n\nHowever, there are a lot more possibilities than the few three you give.\n\nJesus could have been one of the many people thought to have been the messiah, but that were proven wrong by time. Even the book of Acts in the Christian's New Testament lists two such false messiahs, Judah the Galilean and Theudas. \n\n          Act 5:36-37  For before these days rose \n          up Theudas, boasting himself to be \n          somebody; to whom a number of men, about \n          four hundred, joined themselves: who was \n          slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, \n          were scattered, and brought to nought. \n          37  After this man rose up Judas of \n          Galilee in the days of the taxing, and \n          drew away much people after him: he also \n          perished; and all, even as many as obeyed \n          him, were dispersed. \n\nWhat if the followers of Theudas or Judah the Galilean said the same thing, that either they were who they said they were, or they were lunatics or liars, or the messiah, with no other choice?\n\nAnd the reason they say that Jesus was only a good man and not Gd, is because we have Gd's promise in Hosea 11:9, where He said, "..for I am Gd and not a man." We have the same thing in Numbers 23:19 \n\n          Numbers 23:19 "Gd is not a man, that he \n          should lie; neither the son of man, that \n          he should repent: hath he said, and shall \n          he not do it? or hath he spoken, and \n          shall he not make it good?" \n\nwhich means IF Gd were a man, He would be a liar, since all men lie. IF Gd were a man he would need to repent, since all men sin.\n\nGd becoming a human, or a human becoming Gd, is the hallmark of the pagan faiths, where the stories of children of a god and a human mother, or the incarnation of a god, were told. Pharaoh thought he was a god, and the emporers of ancient empires were thought to have been gods, or the children of gods.
