Question: Do you believe in Jesus Christ!?
I'm not talking about religion here!. I know that Muslims doesn't believe in Jesus Christ, but do you believe that there's someone like him!? I mean, someone who's extraordinary!. Who loves everyone, and care for others!. Someone who always let others come before him!. Do you think that he's actually exist!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I cannot tell, I cannot know!. Maybe such a person really existed!. Maybe such persons exist in our days as well!. Maybe he was son of God, maybe he was a human God sent!. I don't think too much about such matters!. I believe the more we get into it, the more puzzled we become!. The more questions we have, the less answers we get!.!.!.!.

What I do know is that I believe in something Divine but I do not know the name of it!. And I don't care about knowing it or not!. All that counts is my own personal belief and my own personal Paradise and Hell!. My unknown God has given me this ability and I respect it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I just finished reading a book called "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobble (!?) not sure of the last name!. Anyway, the author was an atheist, journalist for the Chicago Tribune!. He did some investigating into all the historical info!. about Jesus and guess what!? He is now a firm believer in Jesus Christ! Anyone who questions who Jesus was should read this book!.
If you choose not to read it, at least stop making excuses about why you don't believe in Jesus!.
I believe Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God!. And I can, with the help of the aforementioned book, give logical evidence to support my belief!. I ask anyone who doesn't believe!.!.!.Can you give logical evidence to refute "The Case For Christ"!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I believe that there was a man named Jesus who lived about 200 years ago!. I don't believe any of the quotes attributed to him were actually said by him, nor do I believe he was divine or the his teachings were divinely inspired!.

I don't believe that anybody like the 'Jesus figure' you describe has or can ever exist!. Universal love is simply against nature, which we are a part of!. Human beings are not capable of liking/loving every other human being!. This is not a weakness, it is a strength!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Someone like he is described to be as far as the qualities of his character go!? Certainly!. There have been many such people throughout history, and are many such people even today (not that they're always so obvious or easy to spot, since such people are usually also humble enough to remain low-profile)!.

Someone like the version of him that was claimed to be able to perform miracles, walk on water, raise the dead, etc!.!.!. etc!.!.!. etc!.!.!.!.!? No!. Not unless they had some really, -really- high technology behind them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I believe there once was a man named Jesus Christ, but I do not follow the cult that grew up around him and made him into a mythic figure!. Though he preached love and tolerance, his name has been used to justify unimaginable suffering over the centuries!. If he were alive today, I'm not sure what he would make of the cult that bears his name--but I am sure he would be disappointed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Jesus Christ is very real and you are wrong about the Muslims!. They do believe, they just do not call him the same as we do!. If you talk about Christ, then you are talking about religion and at some point, you also believe!.

I believe that the jesus character can be a positive allegorical figure, if his description is not abused by followers!.

Sadly, it too often is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I do believe there was a man named Jesus Christ who lived a human existence!. I do believe he taught and preached to the masses!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!.

Throughout human history, many males have claimed to be the son of a supreme being!.!.!.

Yet NONE have EVER been able to substantiate any such claim!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Definitely I have too many answers to prayers not to firmly believe ~~Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, i do believe in Jesus Christ!.
Am not sure if that kind of person exists in the complex world of today!.

Thanks for askingWww@QuestionHome@Com

I know what you mean when you are talking about the appearance of Jesus Christ!. From what is written in the Bible, He perhaps should be of a European appearance with olive skin!. I don't know if I'm right but I have debated the general appearance we are all given of Jesus with quite a few people!.

I have always believed that there is a "Higher Being" among us!. I've always felt it in my soul!. The fact that I have a soul is evidence enough for me to believe!.

I believe that is why I have the ability to trust, to forgive, to be a good, moral person!. To be able to see the blessings that I have!. To recognise when I am being judgemental, selfish or unkind!.

It is an interesting question that you have asked and it's very hard to answer without sounding a bit over the top!. But, thankyou for asking it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I believe in Jesus Christ, Son of God who died on the Cross to save us, all!. The Gospel is His Word, reading it you`ll get to know Him, admire Him, Love Him more and more!. If you follow His steps you`ll get to the goal, eternal life , happinness, with God!. Forever!
?Someone like Him!? NO!, because HE IS GOD! But Saints, people who live the Gospel, who tries to imitate Him, YES! For example: Saint Francis of Asisi, Mother Theresa of Calcuta, Pope John Paul II, Father Pio of Pietralcina, etc, etc!. The first christians who died for their Faith as Saint Peter, who was crucified upside down, the apostles and all the martyrs who resigned to their well-being and chose Christ, being killed or eaten by the lions!. In other words christian catholics who are the base of the Catholic Church founded by Christ who elected Saint Peter as his head!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No I do not, and neither did the Founding Fathers, and I'm tired of evangelicals trying to convert our laws and social attitutes toward Christianity!. Before you know it, we will be living under "Christian Sharia!."

"Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting "Jesus Christ," so that it would read "A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination!."
Thomas Jefferson

It wasn't the Christian God that the Founders loved!.
The Founders intended the Constitution and the nation to be free FROM religious domination as well as to free up any religion in the world for the use of the people!.

The predominant religion now is Christianity--much to the annoyance of the Founding Fathers if they were still alive!. As Deists, they hated Christianity with PASSION, and wrote the Constitution as a secular document!. President John Adams even signed a treaty stating that in no way was America designed on the principles of Christianity!. All the Founders wanted was "common sovereignty" based on "individual sovereignty" that they believed was given to EVERY Man by God in the form of Reason!. Unfortunately, they had to deal with the Christian slave owners!.

http://www!.earlyamerica!.com/review/summe!.!.!.

"I almost shudder at the thought of alluding to the most fatal example of the abuses of grief which the history of mankind has preserved -- the Cross!. Consider what calamities that engine of grief has produced!"
John Adams

"I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of!. My own mind is my church!.
"Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is no more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifiying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory to itself than this thing called Christianity!. "
Thomas Paine

"During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial!. What have been its fruits!? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution!.
"What influence, in fact, have ecclesiastical establishments had on society!? In some instances they have been seen to erect a spiritual tyranny on the ruins of the civil authority; on many instances they have been seen upholding the thrones of political tyranny; in no instance have they been the guardians of the liberties of the people!. Rulers who wish to subvert the public liberty may have found an established clergy convenient auxiliaries!. A just government, instituted to secure and perpetuate it, needs them not!."
James Madison

"If we look back into history for the character of the present sects in Christianity, we shall find few that have not in their turns been persecutors, and complainers of persecution!. The primitive Christians thought persecution extremely wrong in the Pagans, but practiced it on one another!. The first Protestants of the Church of England blamed persecution in the Romish church, but practiced it upon the Puritans!. These found it wrong in the Bishops, but fell into the same practice themselves both here [England] and in New England!."
Benjamin Franklin


"We freethinkers [Freemasons] are, I suspect, sometimes suckers for the big lie that the U!.S!. really was founded as a Christian nation!.!.!. I know I suspected something like that when I first read "As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion!.!.!." as a quote from the Treaty with Tripoli!. "
By Ed Buckner, Ph!.D!. on the 1796-97 Treaty with Tripoli

It is the Christians who attempting something in this nation that is remarkably like Muslim Sharia, where religious principles rule!. http://www!.bbc!.co!.uk/religion/religions/!.!.!.

Perhaps the two sides are so polarized because the atheists would liberalize the laws as the Founders would have had them (hopefully based upon the same faculty of Reason the Founders were so proud of possessing!.)

Christians, on the other hand, want laws that would bear "calamities that engine of grief [the Cross] has produced!"

Their attempts are already bearing the calamties of ripping this nation apart at the seams!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
