Jesus Christ only lived 33 years, never went more than 30 miles from his home, never wrote a book, never was on tv, never made a cd or any multimedia source and YET
-- Jesus Christ has influenced the world more than any person;
-- Jesus Christ's existence separates history (ac or bc);
-- Jesus Christ has more books written about him than any person in history;
-- Jesus Christ is the Ruler of the largest religion in the world;
-- Jesus Christ had 11 apostles and numerous martyrs die excruciating deaths believing in the Messiah, the Son of God;
-- Jesus Christ as the promised messiah fulfilled over 300 prophesies in the Old Testament. Just fulfilling 50 makes the odds of doing so 10X135 power, an astronomical number. No human being has ever fulfilled so many prophesies about them, not even Moses!
In short, Jesus Christ has accomplished things NO OTHER HUMAN BEING HAS DONE in the entire history of mankind. If anyone thinks Jesus Christ is JUST A GOOD TEACHER they are very unrealistic by making such a huge understatement.

I think I do, he is what I was raised to believe in. I celebrate Christmas though I don't believe the idea of Santa is evil in any way as long as we still remember what we're celebrating on the holiday. My cousin has opened my mind a bit which is why I'm not fully sure if I believe. But I think if someone wants to believe in something or not believe in something they should have the right to their opinion since nothing is proven otherwise he would be in school text books.

I read Mere Christianity by CS Lewis, as he struggle thru the many issues and questions about belief.
It is a good starting point, with answers by a great thinker.

To me, it seems so unGodly like for God to come to Earth, and interfere. I think Jesus (no offense to anyone) sounded full of himself, for lack of a more polite term.

Yes. Jesus is in my heart and He reminds me He is with me, He goes before me, and He will never, ever leave me nor forsake me.
My whole life is planned. Doesn't that make you feel peaceful?
