Do you trust in Jesus?

Answer 1

I was brought up in a religion that was very black and white and believed in Jesus. It was either you do or you don't. I am no longer practicing that religion, I guess I'm agnostic. If I don't believe in him, who do I believe in?

Answer 2

No.

Read Luke. Jesus says that "he who does not hate his father, his mother, his brother and sister, his children, even his very own life, cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26)

Jesus also said that the Old Testament is absolutely, 100% true (this occurs twice in Matthew 4 & 5). The Old Testament gives contradictory creation myths (Genesis 1 & 2), and uh, says that the Earth is flat. Oops.

In the Parable of the Mustard Seed, Jesus says that the mustard seed is the smallest seed upon the Earth. That simply isn't true. Even the ancient Semites grew plants raised from seeds that are smaller than the mustard seed. Jesus simply has no idea what he's talking about.

In each of the synoptic gospels, Jesus' first reply to questions about when the world will end have answers to the effect of "nobody knows." And yet he also claims that the OT is infallible, which is chock full of end-of-the-world prophecy, and himself makes multiple claims about his own return. Jesus is just making it up as he goes along. I have no faith or trust in him.

I should probably include the fact that I'm an atheist.

Answer 3

I feel sorry for Jesus. He was abused by his father. Did his father ever spend quality time with his son the way good fathers spend time with their offspring? I don't think so. Did God ever sit down with Jesus and explain how had a plan that would start a religion that hopefully 100% of the people would believe in? Poor Jesus, his father let him die apparently not knowing that the majority of people on this planet choose not to be Christian and could care less about Jesus Christ. Jesus was abused.

Answer 4

Yes. Why? Because what he says he is going to do, he is going to do! He is all powerful and all knowning. He is a live and real person. I will always trust in him before I trust in a mere mortal man. It is sad to see so many negative things about a God that has never turned his back on them.

Answer 5

Trust in his wisdom and advice on how to lie life, yes. Trust in his prophecies, yes. Trust that he is the "son" of God, yes

But trust the representation that "Man: has generally given him, NO

Answer 6

Sometimes I struggle, but yes, I do trust Him.

Answer 7

Completely! (Jesus Christ the Son of God, not any Jesus)

Answer 8

Do I trust in Jesus???

Well thats an easy question to answer and that is yes!

Answer 9

Most that answer this type of Question do not Know WHO Jesus Said HE WAS.....?

(John 8:54-to-59) Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

(Joh 8:55) Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

(Joh 8:56) Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

(Joh 8:57) Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

(Joh 8:58) Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, = I am. = See Exodus 3:14

(Joh 8:59) Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
