Yes I think you are right but I need to check. I think it may be that later after He died they might have believed Him then. But if it says they didn't believe Him it is true\nMary and Joseph had a normal marriage after Jesus was born and they had other children

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus is also my savior and my best friend. Hes the only one who gets me through each day. The guy who told you that...is sad. Who needs proof...its a little thing we call faith my friend. Those people will just learn the hard way. Pray for those people like that who need to be saved. Very good question..And i totally agree with you. God bless!!

Yay!  I love your post!  It's true, nobody has EVER (get it?!), nor ever will come close to doing the things He did.  Oh sure, there have been good people, but were ANY of them perfect?  NO!!!  I forget what the statistic is, but I think it's really cool how the chances of someone fulfilling all of the OT prophecies that Jesus did are only one in a few million!  Jesus is alive and well, and will be coming back to reclaim this corrupted, old world for His own once again!  Oh, to imagine that day!

Jesus always preached love. He never preached that anyone was exempt from his love, he especially didn't preach that one specific group was exempt from his love.\n\nI wish all you Christians would listen a little more to Jesus and a lot less to "the Church" and the parts of the Bible that fit in with your own opinions!\n\nJesus made a lot of sense. I'm an atheist, but I have a lot of respect for Jesus and everything he taught and stood for.

Do you sincerely believe literally that Jesus was holding His own flesh and blood?\na little more study of Scripture might help here.

Well, there was David Friedrich Strauss, but as far as I can find he only claimed that Jesus was not divine. I'll keep searching and see if there was another who went further.

He did not attend any churches at all. There was something I read one time about his father's family originally coming from a place in England where there were secret Jews, but I don't think he was Jewish either. He was probably an agnostic like some other 19th century thinkers. Remember he read and thought a lot and probably came to his own conclusions.

No. Maybe the "Christ of faith" was based upon a historical figure, I don't know, but he was no son of any god. The only document we have of him is either the bible or "church father" sources and I don't trust either. \nI used to be a believer, but not as of about 2003.

i am agnostic... i beleive the bible is a compilation of myth and legend. kind of like a really good tall tale. i have been known to compare jesus to paul bunyun... yeah their was a big axe wielding lumberer named paul bunyun but did he really have a blue ox... hell no.. sure jesus was a good dude, but did he really do any miracles... i kinda doubt it.

perhaps not in the way the modern Christians think. however, there were several Prophets of THE PEOPLE who talked to various tribes of THE PEOPLE talking about the same basic concepts JESUS did. such as the PEACE-BRINGER who talked to the Five Civilized Tribes and Hiawatha ( who actually existed ).

He did not. It's so sad. I wish he had then we would not have to listen to this "You will go to hell unbeliever" talk. Jesus Christ taught about love not about reminding people that they are going to hell if they don't convert to "Christianity". I like what Mahatma Gandhi said "I like your Christ but I do not like your christians. You christians are so unlike your christ."

I am not sure if he was, but our current bible is missing several books.  Each of the 11 disciples wrote a book (all but Judas), but we only have 4.  Also, bear in mind that the Catholic Bible and Protestant Bible have different books.  However, although I am sure he probably wrote "something" about Christ, I can not say for sure it was a "book," and that his book was rejected.

he did. read the whole story. though i do not believe that he was god and not agree with its total concept of sacrifice and sin . and to say jesus was that is no different than  idolworship.

Jesus was from what can be seen historicaly as a real guy born about 2000 years ago. He did not have supernatural powers and I think that people gave him supernatural powers to exagerate the fact that for his day he was a great man. Back then the ancient people were devoid of things like mercy and compassion and Jesus tried to teach it to people. However he was also a thorn in the side of the romans so they had him killed. Jesus used the symbol of the hebrew creator God yahweh as a mascot for himself and his early order to gain acceptance and he is said to have believed he had some kind of "special connection" with yahweh. This is similar to the ancient pharoa mentality of believing themselfs as Horus the "God King". However I sometimes feel that by assigning special powers to jesus (like they did with hercules or that lumberjack guy portraid with the blue ox) they are desecrating his memory. While he did work hard to start a order of apostles and bring some compassion to the world at first he succeeded but a couple hundred years after he died his efforts ultimately proved fruitless, creating the dark ages, the inquisition and current christianity that keeps people believing in something that jesus may have found revolting. However christians today really only honor the memory of christ today when they set up food banks and help people without asking for anything, pray for the health of others and try their best to be good people. The problem is their are alot of disgusting and self righteous christian organizations (such as the jehovas witnesses and the united pentecostal church) that operate on a "we will only help those who convert mentality. Such groups are intellectual terrorists and nothing more than glorified apocalypse cults. I think Jesus would be very dissapointed with these people if he was alive today. No, he was not a knuckle dragger or a monkey, he was just a guy who tried to do what was right and got killed for it. Just like so many others.

I do beleive in a creator/God, but the Jesus part is questionable, don't matter if you're a Christian, Jew, or Muslim!!! People have to open their mind I realize certain things are out of place about his story. I believe it was put there to worship man instead of god, to have more control over people, to divide and conquer and the list goes on, it so many. Because the truth is NO ONE knows how God really looks or etc!!!

I believe that Jesus may have actually BEEN a Buddha, ie: enlightened one, and it is true that there is a lot of Buddhist subtext, especially in the NT where Paul tells us to not be attached to anything, and Matthew implies that the apostles lived almost like Buddhist monks: ie: not carrying anything with them, asking for handouts of food as "payment," and not having more than the clothes on their backs. \n\nI was talking about this just the other day with my teacher, I'm glad that someone else picked up on this too! However, there is no real way to determine whether Jesus was a Buddhist, but I definately think that he was on the same page as many of them are.\n\nBuddhas do not reincarnate, once they are enlightened they don't keep reincarnating. And I'm not saying that Jesus was one, I'm saying he could possibly be one by the definition of Buddha. I'm really not trying to undermine anyone's beliefs, just giving things to think about. \nI think it makes it easier when I tell people that I don't believe in anything and when I spurt things out like this, it's all hypothetical. You're still free to think what you want, but there is a lot of Buddhist ideology in the Bible.
