Who was Jesus Christ??

Jesus was a human being, born of a virgin named Mary of Nazareth.\nHis personality is controversial because 3 major world relgions see him diferently.\nStrangely enough the three great nations of the world : Jews, Christians and Muslims are at variance with regard, both, to the birth as well as the death of Jesus Christ who was born among the Jews.\n\nHis Birth:-\nThe Jews declare his birth to be illegitimate and they are guilty of uttering a grievous calumny against Mary, mother of Jesus.\nThe Christians,  believe that Jesus Christ was born without the agency of an earthly father and that he was the son of God Himself.\nThe Muslims on their part, believe that Jesus, no doubt, was born without agency of an earthly father, but he was not the son of God.\n\nHis Death:-\nThe Jews believe that Jesus died on the cross because he was a false prophet.\nThe Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross in atonement of the sins of humanity, was resurrected soon thereafter, and then ascended to Heaven.\nThe orthodox Muslims believe that God saved Jesus from "death by crucifixion" and ascended bodily to heaven, and will come down to earth again to smash the cross and what it stands for and to purify the faith of the believers.\n\nThe Ahmadiyya Muslim Community declares that Jesus Christ only fell into a swoon on the Cross, but when he was taken down from it, he recovered and migrated to Kashmir, India where he died a natural death at the age of 120.\n\nJesus Son of Mary\nIslamic Beliefs\n\nIslam is a religion which requires belief in not only the Prophethood of Muhammadsaw but all the prophets of God, including Jesus (Qur'an 2:137).\n\nThe Holy book of Islam, the Quran, relates in detail the story of Jesus, including his birth, mission as a Prophet to the Israelites, and his crucifixion. Muslims believe that this story is in harmony with the Bible too. Indeed, a whole chapter in the Qur'an is named after the mother of Jesus (Chapter 19 - Maryam). \n\nBirth of Jesus\nIn Islam, Mary is described as a pious and righteous woman who symbolizes righteous believers blessed with Divine inspiration. Islam then affirms the fatherless birth of Jesus and rejects outright the opposing claim that his birth was illegitimate. \n\nWhereas, Islam recognizes the virgin birth of Jesus as a miraculous event, it does not consider it unnatural; the laws of nature are never broken. It just reflects the inability of man to fully understand the science behind various phenomena observed in nature. Numerous scientists have explained the virgin births. \n\nIn Islam, the immaculate conception of Jesus is not interpreted to mean that he was in some way a Divine Being. He was still a human being (Qur'an 19:31). \n\nDivinity of Jesus\nIslam presents Jesus as a human who believed in the absolute Unity and Indivisibility of God (Qur'an 3:52). \n\nMuslims consider the doctrine of Divinity of Jesus and Trinity as later changes to the teachings of Jesus. The New Testament itself furnishes abundant evidence to show that Jesus was only a human being whom God chose for the reformation of His people, and repeatedly contradicts the Divinity of Jesus. Jesus always referred to himself as having been sent by God (John 17:3) and his followers, too, considered him a man approved by God (Qur'an 19:37; Acts 2:22, John 3:2). \n\nHe was undoubtedly called the son of God, but this title has only been employed metaphorically and in fact is used for all the chosen ones of God (Matt 5:9, Exodus 4:22). The literal connotation of 'son of God' as a Divine Being and hence the subsequent development of Trinity Dogma was the result of Hellenistic influences on Christianity as it spread in the Gentile world. The Semitic usage of 'son of God' was misunderstood and forgotten and disputes about the exact status of Jesus erupted, as recorded in the early Church history. \n\nJesus prayed to God like all other God-fearing individuals (Luke 5:16), and engaged

artistic license.  What Jesus actually looked like is unknown.  He was definately of Middle Eastern decent.  He most likely was unshaven.  He probably had shorter hair (as was the common jewish style at the time) unlike the long haired interpretations.

Oh..Jesus Christ is the Son God. He is our saviour. He is the way, Truth and Life. He is a Light. He is the Lord of lords and King of kings. Jesus is God! Yes, He made us! He is the one to judge all the humankinds in the end. Eveery one will knee down and say He is the Lord! Each of our eyes will see Him at the judgement... the best way is accepting Him as our saviour and follow Him daily. (carry the cross) He will reward us for our deeds on the earth. Rather choose life and serve Him.

Jesus is "God in the flesh".\n\nJesus is real, not fiction. Read the first century Jewish historian Josephus Flavius.\n\nYou can also read "Evidence That Demands A Verdict" " More Evidence That Demands A Verdict" or "More Than A Carpenter" by Josh McDowell,  plus "A Case For Christ" by Lee Strobel and "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis\n\nWho is Jesus? Really.\n\nThere are 2 ways to live.

Jesus Christ was God in the flesh.\n\nMatt.1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. \n\nHeb.2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; \n\nChrist's mission was to defeat Satan, that is death. To free us from the bondage of sin. To teach those with eyes that see and ears that hear. To pay the price for all.

Jesus is the answer to every question..  He is the righteous one who came so that we may have life.  Without Him there is no hope.  We are all like sheep who have gone astray.  He is our high tower, our fortress, our deliverer.  Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.  amen

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!

Hello, my friend. This book--"Mere Christianity"--and especially this bit about Christ's being either a lunatic or else the Son of God, was instrumental in my opening up to Jesus, simply on account of the fact that I had, for years, "respected" Jesus of Nazareth as a great teacher, ever ignoring the (what I then thought to be) creepier things he was quoted as saying in the Gospels (such as "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light")...and Lewis, with this very simple and basic observation, blew my cozy little respect for Jesus of Nazareth out of the water.\n\nWhich did something to a door. Meaning, I then had to face the very choice that Lewis proposed in this book. In other words, I was either going to have to open the door all the way (and believe Christ was who he said he is) or else close it (and believe Jesus of Nazareth to be deranged and blasphemous).\n\nUltimately, I would say that I chose to believe that Christ is God's Son, but truly God gave me the knowledge that Christ is his Son (John 6:44)...and perhaps he gave me the gift of faith for the sole reason that I was seeking it.

1. JESUS CHRIST : Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus the Nazarene (8-4 BC/BCE – 29-36 AD/CE)[1], is the central figure of Christianity, in which context he is known as Jesus Christ (from Greek Ιησούς Χριστός) with "Christ" being a title meaning "Anointed One" or "Messiah". The main sources regarding Jesus' life and teachings are the four canonical Gospels of the New Testament, which are generally agreed to have been written decades after his death.\n\nA large majority of critical Bible scholars and historians hold that Jesus was a Jewish Galilean preacher and healer who was at odds with the Jewish religious authorities (Sadducees and Pharisees), and who was crucified outside of Jerusalem during the rule of the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.[2] However, citing a lack of extant contemporaneous documents making reference to him, a small minority question the historicity of Jesus.[3]\n\nMost Christians affirm the Nicene Creed and believe that Jesus is both the Son of God and God made incarnate, sent to provide reconciliation with God by atoning for the sins of humanity, and that acceptance of Jesus as Saviour saves one from the penalties of sin (John 3:16). Christians generally believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, crucified and buried, resurrected on the third day of death, and ascended into Heaven where he resides with God the Father until the Second Coming. Other Christians, however, do not recognize the Nicene Creed as the correct interpretation of Scripture. Most Christians also believe that Jesus fulfilled Bible prophecy.\n\nIn Islam, Jesus (called Isa) is considered one of God's most beloved and important prophets, a bringer of divine scripture, and also the Messiah. Muslims, however, do not share the Christian belief in the crucifixion or divinity of Jesus. Islam teaches that Jesus is alive in heaven and will return to the earth as Messiah in the company of the Mahdi once the earth has become full of sin and injustice.\n\n\n\n2. MOSES :For Christians, Moses -- mentioned more often in the New Testament than any other Old Testament figure -- is often a symbol of the contrast between traditional Judaism and the teachings of Jesus. New Testament writers often made comparison of Jesus' words and deeds with Moses' in order to explain Jesus' mission. In the book of Acts, for example, the rejection of Moses by the Jews when they worshipped the golden calf is likened to the rejection of Jesus, also by the Jews.\n\nMoses also figures into several of Jesus' messages. When he met the Pharisee Nicodemus at night in the third chapter of John, he compares Moses' lifting up of the bronze serpent in the wilderness, which any Israelite could look upon and be healed, to his own lifting up (by his death and resurrection) for the people to look upon and be healed. In the sixth chapter, Jesus responds to the people's claim that Moses provided them manna in the wilderness by saying that it was not Moses, but God, who provided. Calling himself the "bread of life", Jesus states that he is now provided to feed God's people.\n\nMoses is also regarded as a symbol of the law, and so he is presented in all three Gospel accounts of the Transfiguration in Matthew 17, Mark 9, and Luke 9, respectively.

Are you speaking of Jesus Christ? I don't remember anywhere in the New Testament where He made a statement that was similar to that one... where did you see that?
