His birth was miraculous. The glory of God descended from heaven and entered the future mother of the child. When she was pregnant, archangels came to her and worshipped and praised the unborn child.
Many angels came to adore him.
The King tried to kill the child, but he was miraculously saved by the intervention of God.
We know very little of his early life. Even as a boy, he showed great wisdom. He dialoged with wise men and amazed the heretics.
.
He showed intense love and compassion for all living beings
He led a life of purity and righteousness. He roamed about in the wilderness. He went to the mountain-tops to pray.
He was attacked by Satan, but his spiritual powers saved him
About the age of thirty, he started to preach his message. He became the renowned messenger of God.
Angels were sent to help him.
The learned priests intrigued against him and accused him before the magistrate of blasphemy.
He is killed violently.

During his life, he healed the sick and restored the sight of the blind. He cured diseases, and preformed many other miracles.
He was pious, noble and compassionate. His message was the message of high moral life which paves the way for the attainment of immortality and eternal bliss and the doctrine of the God of Righteousness. He taught "Love the righteous. Have compassion for the distressed."
I find it interesting that this is the story of "Zarathustra" this fable predates the one of Christ by several thousand years. I know that this is just a story, but the one form the New Testament must be the real thing, or not.

It makes a compelling and sometimes quite inspiring story, but I don't believe it actually happened, no. It's merely one of many such "miraculous hero" stories that borrows from earlier myths and legends.

I don't know about the archangels coming to praise the unborn child - as they came to the Shepherd's and announced A savior has been born. And then after his violent death, he was raised from the grave and walked among the people for 40 days and ascended into heaven to be at the right hand of the Father until he is to return unto the clouds and gather the saints from the earth - otherwise, known as the rapture.
So, you have the facts down well, with the notable exceptions I've mentioned. Good job.

It depends.
What is your supporting evidence? If you are talking about Jesus, then yes I do believe. The Bible has proven itself to be remarkably reliable in the context of ancient manuscripts. There is ample evidence from non-Christian sources as to the life, death, and Resurrection of Christ. The Bible has been validated more than any other ancient manuscript. If we held other writings to the same level of scrutiny leveled against the Bible, we would have no confidence of anything that happened prior to 1000 AD.

I believe it...
I have recently read,
Every time some guy says
"Let's be nice to each other"
They nail him to a tree
Then they start a religion
And then they fight over it...

It's the same story because both are fables

Do I believe it - I believe the child existed but he was human - nothing more and not the Son of God
