Do you believe in Jesus?

Answer 1

YES

Answer 2

Believe in him or believe that he existed -- two different things.

I believe he existed, but I don't see how's he a great moral leader or the son of god or anything like that.

He talked about how his teachings would require brother to kill brother and families to split apart. Anyone who rejected his teaching was to receive severe punishment. What kind of God requires a love which leads to neglect or killing of family?

He seriously thought the end times were near (as have religious people in every generation) -- he talked about how everyone needed to sell their belongings and that the kingdom was close at hand. He even thought, wrongly, that it would happen within the lifetimes of everyone there: (Mark 9:1)

He didn't invent the Golden Rule, as that's been around for ages before him, and he was a hypocrite. He told people that calling someone a fool put you in danger of the fires of hell, (Matthew 5:22), but he called people (esp. the Pharisees) fools all the time (Matthew 23:17, Luke 11:40, Luke 24:25) [Take note Christians... if you quote Psalm 14:1 to us atheists, Jesus says you're in danger of going to hell]

While he preached the principle of forgiveness of others, he was adamant that anyone guilty of the simple act of blasphemy could not possibly receive forgiveness after death -- and odd stipulation for an omnipotent and omnibenevolent God. How can any act, especially the utterance of a few words, so harm an omnipotent and all-good god so as to prevent forgiveness at any time?

And he never said a word about any of the problems we face today in society: abortion, death penalty, euthanasia, cloning, war, racial, ethnic, & sexual discrimination, slavery, etc. No pronouncements were made regarding the moral questions of democracy, socialism, economic justice, etc. Even if we ignore the facts that his moral laws are pretty shady [nothing wrong with slavery?], whatever he said is basically irrelevant to modern society.

In short -- Jesus probably existed, but a lot of other things attributed to him are either irrelevant, indefensible, or immoral. Not exactly a being worthy of my worship.

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

Yes, I believe he was one of God's greatest prophets. Jesus preached the Oneness of God and that God is the absolute Creator. There is nothing like God and nothing is comparable to Him. Jesus himself worshipped God and tried to invite others to the way of the One Indivisible God.

May God show light unto humanity as to His being the Creator and Master of all men and prophets, which includes Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. Glory be to God. To Him alone we pray and ask for divine help.

Answer 5

Yes. Jesus is My Lord and Savior.

Merry Christmas.

Answer 6

It depends on what you mean by "believe". Do you refer to the phenomenon of accepting that which has not been conclusively proven, in which case you are refering to an untested hypothesis which is being advocated as fact, thus biased toward believability by those who wish to belong in a community of like minded true believers *Zap* *Zow* and the Rapture came while he was typing and he's been left behind *Zing* ROYAL BANK OF HEAVEN: Less Talk, Make it Happen

Answer 7

Whether or not you believe in Jesus religiously. Jesus' name and similar stories of his life have appeared in too many books (Nag Hammadi Library/Dead Sea Scrolls, stories from India, the Bible) and scrolls for Jesus the man not to have walked on this earth.

Answer 8

Yes I do. I believe though that he was a normal man with a high
spiritual connection to God, but also there must of been something that made him different from all the other men when it came to the connection with God.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Yes

Answer 11

YES I confess before all, I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord, and my Savior!!!
