Have I correctly described Jesus?

Question

Born to a Virgin
Had twelve disciples
Travelled as a teacher and illuminator of men
Known as saviour and lamb of god
Part of a Holy Trinity
Performed baptisms
Had a "last supper" with his followers
Was crucified
Atoned mankind through sacrifice
Was buried in a tomb from which he rose again from the dead before ascending to heaven

Sound like your saviour?























Sorry, I was describing Mithras!

Mithras was long revered by the Persians and the Indians around 600 BCE, as "God's Messenger of Truth"

Notice any similarities to your lord? I mean if your lord was Dionysus, tammuz, adonis, hercules, robin hood, or even Jesus.

When asked about the similarities of Jesus to these other god's I've mentioned, the official church position is "the devil went back in time and planted these stories to tempt you"---Justin Martyr (1 Apologia, 66, 4)

Don't blindly follow what your preacher/family tells you. Read bible criticisms. Read outside the bible. Is your life not worth it?

Good stuff adyghe1985,

Using the bible to prove the bible correct.

Nice use of circular logic.

Answer 1

oh.... okay whatever--- Still sounds like my Jesus despite what your so called "facts" prove.... :)

Answer 2

There is no one true religion- there is only God.

All religions are man made
and they are made so that man can relate in a mortal way to God.

God is of infinite intelligence
God is Omniscient
God is Omnipresent.
God is not a person nor persons he does not have a human form nor a human way of thinking.

Now man has several languages and cultures and man has several levels of intelligence and civilization. We have people still living in caves and eating dung, and we have people with Ipods and balckberries and laptops.

Now do think Infinite intelligence would make only one religion to reach all of us- over thousands of years ., do you think God would attempt to have a very specific message or a broad based message that anyone can undertsand and assimilate.?

Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Love God and acknowlege him in all things.

simple , easy, and something a caveman can use.

Think about it, use your brain.....

hope this helps
