Try Pat Robertson or Benny Hinn, lots of sin to go around there.

There are plenty of alternatives to Jesus, let me just ask the guy on the other side of the bar for his take on it, he say's that he never went wrong with Elvis.
Really, Jesus never sinned, I didn't know that, I know he used to hang out with sinners, tax collectors etc was that a sin?
Applying this logic leads to all sorts of paradoxes though, I don't think you need to not sin to relate with Jesus, if you are a man you don't need to be a woman to relate to women.
To answer the question though, yes there are alternatives to Jesus, Old Larry across the bar is one of them.

Anything/ anyone who existed/ exists could be at a place not wanted by organized society and thus the society might claim this person/ thing as sinner!
Thus, don't worry of your sins! You are a sinner because you are a follower, when you are free you are approaching divinity!
You exist that is why you should not be related to anyone and simultaneously you are related to everything and everyone!

Yeah, every other person in the world is your alternative to Jesus.
I mean, that's the POINT of Jesus, to be a perfect example. I don't think Jesus would expect you to be perfect or "relate" to him, but maybe you could sympathize with him (because being perfect isn't fun, right?!!). Basically appreciate that he was trying to sacrifice for you.
However, like I said, you can look to any other friend or role model in the world if you want.
I think all spiritual leaders present a higher ideal for us to follow, that's the point of a leader.. and it's why they will always be difficult to identify with, too.

Jesus never sinned because he can take the sins everyone in the world on himself and set everyone else free from sin and death.Today you can be free if you only believe Jesus took your past , present and future sins away and receive him into your life . Only he can change the bad in your life to good .

The theif on the side of the cross with Jesus repent that means be sorry for your sins enuff to not do them again and pray for forgiveness that is why Jesus came we are all sinners he came and paid for our sins with his blood so you can have salvation Christ is good and his work is easy.

I relate to Jesus because I suffer, not because I sin.

There are NO alternatives to Jesus! Jesus is your friend, your Father, HE cares about YOU! We are ALL sinners (we are born sinners) but HE has such LOVE FOR US, mercy and grace. It's like, no matter how much we sin (we are only human, of flesh) God is holding onto us, never letting us go....
HE loves it when we turn to HIM to ask HIM for HIS guidance and wisdom when we do fail, just like a loving father would want from his children if they run into problems. JESUS never fails!!
I encourage you to try talking to God again. HE wants you to come back to HIM and believe in HIM. We have a LIVING GOD who hears all of concerns, wants, desires and will give you everything that you ask of HIM, but in HIS time (you will get what u want eventually :-) ).
God is NOT DEAD!! If you talk to HIM about your sins HE DOES HEAR YOU and will forgive you!! (believe me, I have sinned over and over again, just like most ppl, but God is a true and a just God, and HE loves me regardless of my human weaknesses).
Please talk to Jesus TODAY!!! He WILL hear your prayers!! He is a loving and true God who is real!! Rely on HIM and HIM alone, :-)

Sure, the devil.. he's a big time sinner.. with him, you get a free trip to hell... you get to suffer eternal torment and never get to be with your friends and family who make it to heaven because they believed in Jesus and accepted Him as their saviour.. You'll be able to look at them as they rejoice and sing praises while you scream in torment as your soul burns forever.
Great alternative, right?

My father said that when he followed the ten commandments that he was getting closer to a God that he couldn't understand.
However, my father was not bothered by that in the least. The Lord is nothing but love and wisdom so don't be scared.
