Would Jesus have been on the terrorist watch list?  Or at least the "No Fly" List?

Jesus was not son of God, he was a prophet.

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.

Well, I guess it would all depend.\n\nIslam was founded after Christianity, so that religion actually has a firm, somewhat uniform stance on Jesus. He is honored as a prophet.\n\nChristianity is younger than Judaism and could be considered almost a kind of Jewish heresy because it is, in part, based on Jewish scripture and claims to be the plan of the Jewish G-d for the salvation of the world through the prophesied Messiah. \n\nMany horrible things have been done to Jews in the name of Christ, so a really negative opinion of him is not uncommon and is certainly understandable. There are Jews who see Jesus as a good man and teacher whose followers made false claims about after his death. There are Jews who believe anything in between those two extremes or even that there never was such a person.\n\nSo I guess between the two, Judaism could be thought to be more insulting, but that is only on a purely theoretical basis. In reality, views vary wildly. Actions even more so.

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!

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.

Jesus, innocent of all sin, allowed Himself to be killed for love of us all, including His enemies. \nMuslim terrorists deliberately kill themselves at the same time as murdering other people, out of pure hatred for anyone who doesn't agree with their twisted beliefs.

as someone who believes in the historical jesus and not the religious jesus, i would have to say that i would be none of the above.  i would simply be glad that it is him on the cross and not me.

Yeah, they could have. Any religion could have. It's just a matter of time. Although I can't see no buddhists bombing towers... :) I am no buddhist.

yeah....he did. he heard the idhan(the call to prayer)for muslims. not sure if he became muslim or not. but i dont think he was taken out of books for that...that would be terrible if that happened to him. why wouldnt he still be considered an american hero? that seems a little extreme.

Even if you didn't turn in a terrorist, your name could be on the no-fly list.  A terrorist thought it would be cute to use the name Ted Kennedy until the feds started to close in on him.  Now Senator Kennedy must undergo a thorough screening before he is allowed to conduct business on behalf of America.\nMoreover, if you could have turned in a terrorist but didn't and their bomb killed children...\ncould you live with that?

it sounds like what you are saying is if Jesus was still here on earth today, would he be treated with respect or like crap as he was in his day? and would we just repeat the past and worship him after he is physically dead, now that he is not around to hold us accountable.\n\nHe would definitely be treated like crap. \n\nIf you read the gospels it is pretty clear that Jesus was nonviolent, nonresistant, compassionate and lived simply.\n\nJust look at the people who have respect and power in this world and they are the exact opposite of having Jesus' qualities. \n\nThese people go to war....for stupid reasons..which is violence(jesus was nonviolent) and yet So called christians approve of this along with capital punishment and a variety of other violent means.\n\nThese people don't turn the other cheek. (jesus was Nonresistance). Despite the teachings of turning the other cheek, do the well-respected rulers and so-called heroes in our society really turn the cheek or geniunely forgive...of course not. people who love power usually don't.\n\nAre these well-respected people compassionate? (jesus was compassionate). If they are compassionate, then how can so many people in this world let alone the wealthiest of countries still be dominated by so much poverty and homelessness. And why are there so many bitter divorces (which is also not turning the other cheek or forgiveness) and crime and corrupt leadership and so on....? \n\nAre these Heroes of ours living simply? (Jesus and his followers lived simply, knowing that possesions corrupt and giving is love).\nThis is probably the obvious of all to answer and the one that most christians and others will not be willing to do. eventhough the gospels repeatedly warn of the worshipping of mammon and lost of heavenly rewards by having these things. This is one area that is the most emphasized in the gospels and the one area that is mostly ignored,...for obvious reasons. \n\nSo, would jesus be hated and despised and treated like crap if he were here today?. absolutely...and the evidence is that the one's who are most antichristain(christian being someone who is christlike and christlike being someone who follows a life as explained above)are treated the best in our society and the one's who are most christ-like are treated inferior.\n\nAnd because of this antichristian worshipping that world socities do....they would have to take  the real christ and turn him into an idea the same way that we turn human beings into celebrrties and worship him on our terms not his. Thus making jesus invisible even while visible.

Can't speak for most Jews, but I question why he never married.  Israelites became adults and married at a very early age (teens).  In fact, men were not considered to be adult until marriage.  If Jesus had not been married, he would have had no followers whatsoever.  I've been told that the same thing is true to this day in the Muslim world.  \n\nI think of Jesus as one of the many rabbis teaching different versions of Judaism of the day.  His family was never mentioned because it was understood that he would naturally have a family.  Not having a family would have been a major problem!\n.

you would think that Jesus own people would know if he was the Messiah or not ;)\n\nmaybe they were on to something?

um...when could Jesus fly? \nand if by X, you mean cross, the nails probably went beside the bones.

Priory of Sion and Da Vinci notwithstanding, of course it is possible. Remember that there are many years in the life of Jesus not accounted for in the Bible. Anyone who thinks that he did not have relations during this time period is being a little naive. I'm not saying that there is a conspiracy, just that we need to look at him as a man. Now...what would Jesus do?

That is an interesting question that is tough to answer.  \nI would think that Jesus would not get involved, personally.  He wasn't one to really be heavily involved in politics and the laws.  So I don't think he would give an opinion on the current laws and practices.  \nAs far as His feelings on it, I think that he would be okay with it.  I don't think that Christianity really supports the idea of nations, especially not the idea that one has rights over another.  If we look back to the time of Saul, it was the Israelites that wanted a king and to be a nation like all the others, not God.\nI think that immigrants, as a general rule, come to the US illegally in order to make a better ife for themselves, and I think that Jesus would be all for that.\nTo those who say He never broke the law: You may want to reread the Gospels.  The reason he was put to death was for breaking numerous Jewish laws.  The Caesar quote was meant to say not to worry yourself with trivial things like laws of the land, but to follow the laws of God.  The coin had a picture of Caesar, so He said that it belonged to him in the first place.
