Jesus Christ, lust for glory or all round good guy?

Question

Was Jesus Christ a man who had a lust for glory and so perpetuated the myth that he was the son of God, or was he just a very pious man who followers built up into something he wasn't?

Answer 1

i reckon he was named after joseph bashed his hand whilst trying to make that crib. Oh and by the way i think he was a rebel for the cause.....................

Answer 2

None of the above, Sir.

How many people do you know who would accept their Death in such a manner even though there were so many ways He could save Himself?

Faced with the same situation, where would you be?

How many people do you know who would have the Courage to face a horde of people and tell them "May he who has not sinned, cast the first stone"?

Would you have the guts to do something like that?

Even if the Miracles that were attributed to Him were exaggerations, just the deeds He did are enough to have us adore Him.

However, we do not ask you to do so, if you do not wish to. All we ask is that you respect a Man who was all these things that you were not and can never be.

Verily did the Master say "There be none so blind as will not see."

Merry Christmas.

Answer 3

No, He is the Son of God.

... Jesus Christ, our Lord... and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Hebrews 1.

You appear to be ignoring His resurrection from the dead. None has ever taught that He would be killed according to the Scriptures and then raised from the dead three days later, according to the Scriptures, and then gone on to perfectly fulfill those claims.

That is no myth. Even mad people cannot make up myths like that.

I suppose your ignorance must be deliberate.

Answer 4

If Jesus was just a man, it would be possible what you said could be true.

But was Jesus just a man ?

He rebuked the disciples for trying to prove who is the greatest and told them to be humble like a child.

So Jesus did not practise what He preached ?

Are you saying Jesus was a hypocrite ?

Jesus' birth and manner of death was predicted in Bible prophesies thousands of years before Jesus was born . Read the book of Isaiah.

The old testament was written long before Jesus was born, in case you think it was written in retrospect .

Jesus died on the cross. He rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures.

Until today, no one has ever found his bones.

He is no ordinary man. He is man and He is also God.

I have used the name of Jesus to pray for people's healing and have seen healings take place.

I used the name of Jesus to cast out demons and have seen demons come out of demonised people.

I use the name of Jesus to pray and my prayers are answered.

You are telling me that Jesus is just a man ????????

Answer 5

He was a pious man who followers built up into something he was not. I think if Jesus could come back right now, he would be so disappointed. Somewhere along the line, he became an idol, instead of being looked at as another of Gods prophets.

Answer 6

The Son of God

Answer 7

Jesus Christ - No such guy ever existed.

Joshua Bar Joseph (the Guy he was based on) Taught the "Word of God" (the Bible stories) in a unique way, being "from Gods Point of View", therefore when he said "When I Speak, it is my Father (God) speaking", he was simply preaching the Word from the Old Testament.

This method of teaching totally freaked out the Jews and the Romans, and 2000 years later, both sides still don't understand...

Answer 8

I wouldn't exactly call him 'pious' either if the New Testament is even partially true.

Either way, his followers blew him entirely out of proportion, surrounding him with lies and half truths, to the point their fabrications eventually included details that contradicted the very claim that he was the messiah.

Answer 9

i don't comprehend what the remainder of your writing has to do alongside with your question, yet i will answer the question. the respond is a few of it does, a number of it would not. i individually chosen to not pay attention to the general rock / rap / pop / hip hop... while i grow to be in eighth grade. i presumed it grow to be getting filthy (this grow to be around 1990) I later picked up united states track in the mid ninety's. i got here across that it grow to be plenty cleanser lyrics , and it incredibly had a melody that i might desire to sing alongside with. as we communicate I pay attention to worship track oftentimes, yet I nevertheless have a lot of united states. there are a number of songs that are Christian of their bent. They communicate of the affection of Christ, the choose of God, our roles as dad and mom to advance Godly infants.... I incredibly have come throughout a lot of those songs. definite, there are nevertheless some undesirable ones, and regrettably there are further and added of the undesirable form with this new breed of united states songs popping out at the instant. i admire that those artists do not could label themselves as "christian artists" , they only sing from their heart. They sing approximately existence, and that they sing approximately their Christian walk. that's the way it may well be. i've got continuously been disappointed with Christian artists who think of they are meant to place out a product that feels like the international to charm to human beings to God. i don't think of it works like that. Why could a sheep gown up like a wolf?? Wolves choose sheep, not different wolves. An artist who desires to glorify God could pass to God for notion and since the new child of the author, create some thing! end copying the international. I incredibly have extra appreciate for those united states stars that in simple terms tell it like this is than people who're attempting to be like the international, with christian lyrics.

Answer 10

The Messiah.

Answer 11

Nothing is really known about Jesus, including whether he existed. It would be better if you asked the motives of the people who wrote the stories about him decades after he supposedly died.
