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.

If you want to talk about or ask about Jesus . . . go to the religious section . . . where the rest of the nuts hang out . . . they will give you an answer.\n\nBut if you want my opinion . . . I am not very religious.\n\nJesus sacrificed himself for mankind . . . which means he had balls.\n\nAccording to the scriptures . . . New Test . . . the only way you can approach God is through Jesus Christ (which proves there is no such thing as the Trinity).\n\nAs for a new religion . . . he didn't start a new religion . . . it evolved from Judeism to Christianity . . . then someone else created Christiandom.\n\n(I know there are mispellings . . . but it is the end of the day . . . and I need to get home to my son . . . so screw spelling this time)

What are you talking about? which god with a little "g" do you serve that would do such a thing? Not the God of all Glory and Creation, Jesus Christ!

If you already know Christmas trees and Easter eggs were originally Pagan, and you probably know the traditional mid-winter and spring timing of the two holidays was Pagan too. Mildly interesting. Not what you'll find here. \n\nWhat you'll discover here is that Christianity inherited everything from the Pagans. The core of Christianity—the worship of a godman who brings salvation—was also the core of other ancient religions that began in the Near East two thousand years before Jesus. \n\nChristian theology borrowed more than the myth of the saving godman. Initiation by baptism, communion with the God through a holy meal, the Holy Spirit, monotheism, and immortality of the soul all belonged many ancient faiths. They were simply part of ancient Mediterranean culture.\n\nChristianity also borrowed elements of Jesus' mythology. Sons of God born of a mortal woman, and miracles (including turning water into wine, walking on water, and especially healing the sick) were common elements of pre-Christian Pagan religions. Mithras had 'em. So did Dionysus, Attis, Osiris, and Orpheus. And more. \n\nAnd they had them centuries before Christianity was a twinkle in Saint Paul's eye.\n\nWhen Osiris is said to bring his believers eternal life in Egyptian Heaven, contemplating the unutterable, indescribable glory of God, \nwe understand that as a myth. \n\nWhen the sacred rites of Demeter at Eleusis are described as bringing believers happiness in their eternal life, we understand that as a myth.\n\nWhen Dionysus turned water into wine, we understand that as a myth. When Dionysus believers are filled with atay, the Spirit of God, we understand that as a myth.\n\nWhen Romulus is described as the Son of God, born of a virgin, \nwe understand that as a myth.\n\nWhen Alexander the Great is described as the Son of God, born of a mortal woman, we understand that as a myth.\n\nWhen Augustus is described as the Son of God, born of a mortal woman, we understand that as a myth. \n\nWhen Dionysus is described as the Son of God, born of a mortal woman, we understand that as a myth.\n\nSo how come when Jesus is described as the Son of God,      born of a mortal woman, according to prophecy,          turning water into wine and how come, in a culture with all those Sons of God, where miracles were science, where Heaven and Hell and God and eternal life and salvation were in the temples, in the philosophies, in the books, were dancing and howling in street festivals, how come we imagine Jesus and the stories about him developed all on their own, all by themselves, without picking up any of their stuff from the culture they sprang from, the culture full of the same sort of stuff?

Yes, Jesus was Jewish until He fulfilled the Old Law and brought in the New Law, which we call Christianity because we accepted Him as the Christ. The New Law allows us to eat pork, which was formerly forbidden.\nMy family happens to eat Tamales for Christmas. Yum! Our ancestors were from Castile, Spain, so that is our tradition.

There was a thing circling the Internet this past Christmas, incorporating snacks in the holiday. \n\nThe story goes, a German baker wanted to create something to show his faith, so he designed a rope of dough in the form of arms bent forward and clasped in prayer. It looked sort of like the letter B on its side. But when it baked, the 2 hands didn't stick together, so he twisted them and tucked the tips under the top. \n\nThe new result was even better than he'd hoped for, because he'd accidentally created 3 holes (apparently for the trinity). I hadn't heard that the twisting was supposed to represent the crucifixion, but whatever. Anyway, I never heard of it before, either, but that's what about 30 people emailed me in November and December. \n\nPersonally, I doubt it. I've been to Bavaria and seen those German pretzel makers. And pretzels. Nothing holy about them. Pretty good with mustard though. Chalk it up to another urban legend online.

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.

Nope,  to a Jewish person, Jesus Christ is just a historical figure.  It would be like an American stubbing his toe and exclaiming, "James K. Polk!"

i'm thinking no. christianity is founded on the belief that jesus died for our sins, and he was god's one and only son.

This may sound simplistic but if you think of Jesus as God's avatar on Earth it kind of makes better sense.\n\nGod's will and Jesus's will are one in the same for us humans, but Jesus was God in human form, exactly the same as you and I but more like I said above an avatar.

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.

One of the meanings of the word Pagan is "Not a Christian, Jew, or Muslim". I do believe Jesus did exist as a person. There are proclaimed Christian-Pagans though. Pagan belief system is a very unique one for it can be personalized for each individual, so if you find the need to incorporate Jesus into it, by all means please do so. (I have included some sites the describe what a Pagan or Paganism is as the sources.

No. Jesus was a man. Should everyone be a man? Wait, don't answer that.\n\n(btw, Jews r KEWL! and so r Christians. Messianic Jews are the best.)
