Does anyone believe in Jesus Christ, without belonging to a Christian religion?

Answer 1

I believe in Jesus Christ as the symbol of who/what we actually are: God's "son". This is the truth of us, that we are one beloved self, child, of God, and we remain just as created. I thank God every day that I understand this.

Answer 2

How would that work. The literal definition of the word Christian is "Christ like"; something which all Christians strive to become. Believing in Christ but not choosing to follow him; wait, actually Jesus talked about people like that, so I guess that you actually can, but I don't see why you would.

Answer 3

Yes I follow the teachings of Jesus from a book called the course in miracles.

No religion, no dogma to follow. No conflicting nonsense like the bible, just the straight teachings of Jesus with no Old Testament nonsense to inject judgment into the words of Jesus.

Answer 4

Me. I beleive in Christ to the Father, but do not belong to any religion or denomination. ALthough I defend Christians as much as possible.

Answer 5

Why wouldn't I want to believe in Jesus?
because that closes me off to any and all other perspectives that make more sense to me regarding life, i would stop questioning, I would settle, and I would never listen, compromise, or find enjoyment with those that oppose or challenge my view. I would become less interesting because all my answers would be limited to a teaching of a book, people I know would stop having well-rounded conversations with me because they knew inevitably I would eventually try to convert them.

In my travels through the world, I would be viewing the world with a closed perspective, and other cultures that weren't Christian, I would see as those I need to 'change' for the better. Instead of listening and appreciating their views, I would only be concentrating on an angle to get them saved.

I would basically being lying to myself, I would surrender logic to blind faith, and I would lose the creativity and shock value humor I currently have. I would be unhappy, and unsure of my decisions. get it?

If you desire I will tell you about `Isa (Jesus) (p.b.u.h.) son of Maryam (Mary)?

He used a stone for his pillow, put on coarse clothes and ate rough food. His condiment was hunger. His lamp at night was the moon. His shade during the winter was just the expanse of earth eastward and westward. His fruits and flowers were only what grows from the earth for the cattle. He had no wife to allure him, nor any son to give grief, nor wealth to deviate (his attention), nor greed to disgrace him. His two feet were his conveyance and his two hands his servant.

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

When the angels said, 'O Mary, God gives thee glad tidings of a son through a Word from Him; his name shall be the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, honoured in this world and in the next, and of those who are granted nearness to God;

No, but I believe that if he did exist he has been misrepresented as many things that he either is not in the bible (innocent) or that he couldn’t possibly be (white as snow).
