Jesus is a good leader because he was sent here and suffered for our sake so that we could live. He showed us how to survive in a world full of sin and how to handle the opposition that comes with being a believing child of GOD.He showed us the way to live act think and believe no matter what the circumstance was .He inspired me to follow him because he spoke the truth and he gave me life and he is "GOD with us" the way truth and life.

His teachings were wise and true. He performed miracles and healed many people. He provided a way out for those locked in bondage and hope for the oppressed. Yes... that makes him a good leader... worthy of studying his life and martyrdom.
Oh and yes he did exist. There are over 4000 documents testifying of his existence. I refer to Josephus Flavius for starters. He was a non-believer that gave reference to Jesus as a Roman historian of the day. Wish people would do their homework.

Jesus was a good leader because he loved those that followed him. He was not seeking power or glory, but truly loved his disciples and they could feel this and were happy to follow him anywhere that he went. This pure love of Christ is known as charity and is something that we have been asked to emulate in our lives as well.

Because Jesus didn't force ppl to follow Him and plus He had God to help Him when He was in need of help. He didn't make fun of ppl like my fellow Chritians did to maek pl feel bad for not believing. For the ones that don't believe u should tlak to them and tell them why being on God's side is better. But Jesus was better when it came to mistry. He did nicely and was not mean.

that is a very good question. as you may or may not know, Jesus was God, just in human form. God sais just exactly what we need to hear. now He usedthat to help us try to understand what He is like. we respond well to love. if we show love to others, we are bound to be shown love back. all that Jesus did was to show us a fraction of how much God loved each human being. he also wanted to show how we could re-acheive intamacy with God. if you are sill confused, i suggest that you find a pastor to explain it further.

Some people may find him to be inspirational. I am not one of them. His message seems quite narrow-minded and rather violent.
I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household." (Matthew 10:34-36 NASB)
"I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!" ... "Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three."... (Luke 12:49,51-53 NASB)
Gospel of Thomas 16 (non-canonical) (SV) reads:
"Perhaps people think that I have come to cast peace upon the world. They do not know that I have come to cast conflicts upon the earth: fire, sword, war. For there will be five in a house: there'll be three against two and two against three, father against son and son against father, and they will stand alone."

Jesus never existed.

Christianity inspired people to follow their cult because they controlled governments and killed dissenters.
Even is Jesus did exist he wasn't a very good moral teacher.

Ctitics would say that's a matter of opinion. I mean, He only
has about 2 billion followers today.

He know peoples' hearts. He could meet the woman at the well and know who she was. He knew what would turn her heart.

Yes, because He told the absolute truth and he never sinned. He was fully God and fully Human.
