Ignorance!  Jesus was a Jew and born and raised in the middle east and Egypt.  He was probably very dark skined from traveling by foot so much.  He was a carpenter by trade and spent a lot of time out doors.  He must have had an awesome tan!

Without a doubt, you have often heard the claim that Jesus is God, the second person in the "Holy Trinity". However, the very Bible which is used as a basis for knowledge about Jesus and as the basis for doctrine within Christianity clearly belies this claim. We urge you to consult your own Bible and verify that the following conclusions are not drawn out of context: \n\n1. God is All Knowing... but Jesus was not.\n\nWhen speaking of the Day of Judgment, Jesus clearly gave evidence of a limitation on his knowledge when he said, "but of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in Heaven, neither the son, but the Father." (Mark 13:32 and Matt 24:36) But God knows all. His knowledge is without any limitations. That Jesus, of his own admission, did not know when the Day of Judgment would be, is clear proof that Jesus is not all-knowing, and that Jesus is therefore not God.\n\n2. God is All-Powerful... but Jesus was not.\n\nWhile Jesus performed many miracles, he himself admitted that the power he had was not his own, but derived from God. He said, "Verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do..." (John 5:19) Again he said, "I can of mine own self do nothing: As I hear I judge, and my judgment is just because I seek not mine own will but the will of the Father which has sent me." (John 5:30) But God is not only all-powerful, He is also the source of all power and authority. That Jesus, of his own admission, could do nothing on his own is clear proof that Jesus is not all-powerful, and that therefore Jesus is not God.\n\n3. God does not have a God... but Jesus did have a God.\n\nGod is the ultimate judge and refuge for all, and He does not call upon nor pray to any others. But Jesus acknowledged that there was one whom he worshipped and to whom he prayed when he said, "I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God." (John 20:17) He is also reported to have cried out while on the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matt 27:46) If Jesus were God, then couldn't this be read "Myself, myself, why hast thou forsaken me?" Would that not be pure nonsense? When Jesus prayed the Lord's prayer (Luke 11:2-4) was he praying to himself? When in the garden of Gethsemane he prayed, "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: Nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt." (Matt 26:36-39) Was Jesus praying to himself? That Jesus, of his own admission, and by his own actions, acknowledged, worshipped and prayed to another being as God, is clear proof that Jesus himself is not God.\n\n4. According to the Bible, God is invisible to humans... but Jesus was flesh and blood.\n\nWhile thousands saw Jesus and heard his voice, Jesus himself said that this could not be done with God when he said, " No man hath seen God at any time." (John 1:18) "Ye have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His shape." (John 5:37) He also said in John 4:24, "God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." That Jesus would say that no one had seen or heard God ant any time, while his followers both saw and heard him, is clear proof that Jesus was not God.\n\n5. No one is greater than God and no one can direct Him... but Jesus acknowledged someone greater than himself whose will was distinct from his own.\n\nPerhaps the clearest indication we have that Jesus and God are not equal, and therefore not one and the same, come again from the mouth of Jesus himself who said in John 14:28, "My Father is greater than I." When someone referred to him as a "good master" in Luke 18:19, Jesus responded, "Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God..." Further more, Jesus drew clear distinctions between himself and God when he said, "I proceeded forth and cam

Living or Dead? Well never mind, it would still be Jesus, because he is still alive in millions of people hearts. I am not preaching religion, but its just a fact. More people have heard about Jesus than anyone else.

I think Jesus was a rebel and totally cool.  He didn't like "religious" people, because they were self-righteous.  I think He was/is compassionate, loving, humorous, passionate, loyal, faithful, forgiving, and willing to die for all of us so that we could live forever.  And, of course, He did.  But, thank God the Father, He rose from the dead and now lives in us believers and intercedes for us with our Father in Heaven.  I think, also, that He was/is very understanding and empathetic towards what we have to go through in this world.  He knows what it's like to be tempted and to be persecuted for teaching the truth.  I think He is  a lot like we are, only sinless.  Peace.

I do know there is a Savior! I do know what is most important TO know- But of course I do not know everything- who would know everything? I do know Jesus Christ- and HIS grace is sufficient for me!\n\n2 Corinthians 12:9\nBut he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.\n\n-Amen!

JESUS CHRIST IS NOT SON OF GOD:\n\n1. God Is All Knowing.....But Jesus Was Not \n\nWhen speaking of the Day of Judgement, Jesus clearly gave evidence of a limitation on his knowledge when he said, "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in Heaven, neither the son, but the Father." (Mark 13:32 and Matt. 24:36) \n\n2. God Is All-Powerful.....But Jesus Was Not \n\nWhile Jesus performed many miracles, he himself admitted that the power he had was not his own but was derived from God when he said, "Verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do..." (John 5:19). Again he said, "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not mine own will but the will of the Father which has sent me." (John 5:30) \n\n3. God Does Not Have A God.....But Jesus Did Have A God \n\nGod is the ultimate judge and refuge for all, and He does not call upon nor pray to any others. But Jesus acknowledged that there was One whom he worshipped and to Whom he prayed when he said, "I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God." (John 20:17). He is also reported to have cried out while on the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46). If Jesus were God, then couldn't this be read, "Myself, myself, why hast thou forsaken me?". Would that not be pure nonsense? When Jesus prayed the Lord's Prayer (Luke 11:2-4), was he praying to himself? When in the garden of Gethsemane he prayed, "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt." (Matt. 26:36). Was Jesus praying to himself? That Jesus, of his own admission and by his own actions, acknowledged, worshipped, and prayed to another being as God is clear proof that Jesus himself is not God. \n\nAccording to the Bible, God is an invisible spirit.... \n\n4. But Jesus Was Flesh And Blood \n\nWhile thousands saw Jesus and heard his voice, Jesus himself said that this could not be done with God when he said: "No man hath seen God at any time." (John 1:18). "Ye have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His shape." (John 5:37) He also said in John 4:24: "God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." Jesus would say that no one had seen or heard God at any time, while his followers both saw and heard him, is clear proof that Jesus was not God. \n\nNO ONE IS GREATER THAN GOD AND NO ONE CAN DIRECT HIM... \nBUT JESUS ACKNOWLEDGED SOMEONE GREATER THAN HIMSELF... \n\n5. Will Was Distinct From His Own \n\nPerhaps the clearest indication we have that Jesus and God are not equal, and therefore not one and the same, comes again from the mouth of Jesus himself who said in John 14:28: "My Father is greater than I." When someone referred to him as a good master in Luke 18:19, Jesus responded: "Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is God..." Furthermore, Jesus drew clear distinctions between himself and God when he said, "I proceeded forth and came from God, neither came I of myself but He sent me." (John 8:42) Jesus gave clear evidence of his subordination to God, rather than his equality with God, when he said in Luke 22:42, "not my will but Thine be done" and in John 5:30, "I seek not mine own will but the will of the Father which has sent me." Jesus admitted that he did not come into the world on his own initiative but was directed to do so, he acknowledged another being as greater than himself, and he negated his own will in deference to affirming the will of another. All of the above give clear proof that Jesus is not the Supreme One and therefore Jesus is not God. \n\nConclusion \n\nThe Church recognises the Bible as the primary source of knowledge about God and Jesus. But since the Bible makes

Jesus was not just a messenger.  More importantly he is the messiah, god in the flesh, and the perfect example of how we are to live.\nIn the OT it says that the messiah is God.  Only God can take away sin.  He was the ultimate scrifice.  There are sveral cults who say that Jesus is not God, they have been deceived.  \n\nMore :\n\n  In addition to Jesus’ specific claims about Himself (see Is Jesus God?), His disciples also acknowledged the deity of Christ. They claimed that Jesus had the right to forgive sins - something only God can do, as it is God who is offended by sin (Acts 5:31; Colossians 3:13; cf. Psalm 130:4; Jeremiah 31:34). In close connection with this last claim, Jesus is also said to be the one who will "judge the living and the dead” (2 Timothy 4:1). Thomas cried out to Jesus, "my Lord and my God!” (John 20:28). Paul calls Jesus “great God and Savior” (Titus 2:13), and points out that prior to His incarnation Jesus existed in the “form of God” (Philippians 2:5–8). The writer to the Hebrews says regarding Jesus that “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever” (Hebrews 1:8). John states that, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word [Jesus] was God” (John 1:1). Examples of Scriptures that teach the deity of Christ could be multiplied (see Revelation 1:17; 2:8; 22:13; 1 Corinthians 10:4; 1 Peter 2:6–8; cf. Psalm 18:2; 95:1; 1 Peter 5:4; Hebrews 13:20), but even one of these is enough to show that Christ was considered to be deity by His followers.\n\n \n\nJesus is also given titles that are unique to Yahweh (the formal name of God) in the Old Testament. The Old Testament title “redeemer” (Psalm 130:7; Hosea 13:14) is used of Jesus in the New Testament (Titus 2:13; Revelation 5:9). Jesus is called Immanuel ("God with us" in Matthew 1). In Zechariah 12:10, it is Yahweh who says, “They will look on me, the one they have pierced.” But the New Testament applies this to Jesus’ crucifixion (John 19:37; Revelation 1:7). If it is Yahweh who is pierced and looked upon, and Jesus was the one pierced and looked upon, then Jesus is Yahweh. Paul interprets Isaiah 45:22–23 as applying to Jesus in Philippians 2:10–11. Further, Jesus’ name is used alongside Yahweh’s in prayer “Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” (Galatians 1:3; Ephesians 1:2). This would be blasphemy if Christ were not deity. The name of Jesus appears with Yahweh's in Jesus' commanded to baptize “in the name [singular] of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19; see also 2 Corinthians 13:14. In Revelation John says all creation praised Christ (the Lamb) - thus Jesus is not part of creation (5:13).\n\n \n\nActions that can be accomplished only by God are credited to Jesus. Jesus not only raised the dead (John 5:21; 11:38–44), and forgave sins (Acts 5:31; 13:38), He created and sustains the universe (John 1:2; Colossians 1:16-17)! This point is made even more forceful when one considers that Yahweh said He was alone during creation (Isaiah 44:24). Further, Christ possesses attributes that only deity can have: eternality (John 8:58), omnipresence (Matthew 18:20, 28:20), omniscience (Matthew 16:21), omnipotence (John 11:38-44).\n\n \n\nNow, it is one thing to claim to be God or to fool someone into believing it is true, and something else entirely to prove it to be so. Christ offered as proof of His claim to deity many miracles and even rose from the dead. Just a few of Jesus' miracles include turning water to wine (John 2:7), walking on water (Matthew 14:25), multiplying physical objects (John 6:11), healing the blind (John 9:7), the lame (Mark 2:3), and the sick (Matthew 9:35; Mark 1:40–42), and even raising people from the dead (John 11:43–44; Luke 7:11–15; Mark 5:35). Moreover, Christ Himself rose from the dead. Far from the so-called dying and rising gods of pagan mythology, noth

1. We really don't know what he looked like.\n\n2. He was a wine guzzler...is that too different from a beer guzzler?\n\nIt is his message to humanity to do unto others as you would have them do unto you that matters.\n\nSome people think books like the Divinci Code or any of the more controversial books about the history behind the story of Christ as terrible scarey things.\n\nI think if you can put all the hero worship myths and legends aside...and still have faith in that core message...you will "be saved".\n\nWhat "being Saved" will be is another mystery for another discussion!\n\nHappy Easter!

What do Jews say about Jesus?  Nothing.  No Jewish religious works reference him, nothing of what he said is studied- he is completely irrelevant to us.  In out opinion, Jesus was just one of many false messiahs throughout history.  Bottom line- to Jews he is a non-entity- of no importance beyond the fact that a religion has been established in his name which has, at times, been used as an excuse to persecute us- and through which lies and defamation about Jews has been spread.

What was it like when you saw Jesus? (John 8:56)

Jesus was neither black nor white. He came from the Middle East and was Jewish, so chances are he had an olive colored skin complexion.\n\nHowever, if you read the accounts in the Gospels carefully, there is no mention at all of any of his physical characteristics... interesting, huh?

Interesting point:  The only things that the Bible points out about Jesus that are important to us are the very same things that Muslims don't believe or accept.\n\n1.  Jesus is the Son of God\n\n2.  Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected on the third day.\n\n  These 2 facts bring hope to all men and women and this is why the writings of the disciples became known as Gospels (which means good news).  Everything else the Bible mentions about Jesus is mainly for our knowledge and stems from these 2 facts.  \n\n  The Bible was written by tons of writers which is why it is called the Bible (it means little books).  The neat thing about the Bible is that it was put together book by book and the authors did not even know eachother but it seems like it can be read as one book because of its continuity.  Some of the authors were separated by more than a thousand years!  So, because of this it is clearly seen that the true author of the Bible is one, not many (i.e. God).  No other book compares to the Bible, none.\n\nNo man or prophet or angel is comparable to Jesus.  People usually ask, "Was Jesus God or Man?"  And the usual answer is, "both."  I like to answer that question by saying Jesus was and is God.  How many men do you know or have you heard of that have done the things Jesus has done such as, make MANY blind people see, walk on water, raise people from the dead, raised from the dead, heal MANY people from ALL manner of disease, feed thousands of people with a barely any food, and cause the weather to obey him immediately (just to name a few)?--which after he had done this, his followers said, "What manner of man is this that even the winds and seas obey him"? \n\n  I think the biggest confusion comes when people try to understand what or who God is, which is why some don't believe in the Son of God.  In God there is the Father and the Son.  According to the Bible, denying the Son of God is the biggest sign of the devil, satan, antichrist, etc.  It doesn't necessarily mean that everyone who does not currently acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God is going to hell.  But, wherever there is the denial of Jesus as the Son of God, that is a sign that the works of the antichrist/evil are present.  \n \n Some people are not able to believe Jesus is the Son of God because of the way they were brought up.  Unfortunately for them they are enslaved in their minds which is the worst type of enslavement.  But the good news is, where sin abounds, Grace more abounds.  There is more than enough Grace to save even the most lost, but not for those who INTENTIONALLY help people become lost.  If all people of every culture and religion knew the complete loving truth about Jesus, they would LOVE to consider him the Son of God.  There is so much more to understand about Him....
