Why is JC so special??

Question

Someone, please answer me, without any Bible verses, especially the ones saying "I am the way the truth and the life" and "no one can get to the father but through me" and things like that. Also, please do not say "because he said he was the son of G-d"

If you say "because he was the son of G-d" please give reasons why you believe so, and those reasons cannot be that JC said so.

JC changed water to wine.
Moses made water spring from a rock in the middle of a desert
JC fed 5,000 people on bread and fish.
Moses fed the entire Jewish nation on sweet bread that feel from the sky for 40 years
JC raised a dead man
Elisha's BONES raised a dead man

every one of JC's miracles can be overshadowed. Why is he so special? You tell me...

SINCE the NT was written AFTER his life and death and by people who did not really know him, please also try to limit your evidence from that, as the authors could very well have seen what DID happen and write it down as if it were supposed to fulfill a great prophesy.

Good point. But it can also be argued that it was the same way with JC: G-d was working through him to perform the miracles.

Answer 1

The ture answer is he wasn't speacial in a godlike sense. He was mearly an influencial man who was killed by those in power because he tried to help left the "lesser" people out of the mud. He was a great MAN, nothing more, nothing less. And that adds all the more to his work, becuase he was mortal, and capable of all our fault but he Chose to be a better person.

Answer 2

I am not going to be critical here and I respect your viewpoint. The miracles and prophecies of the Torah(Tanakh) were meant to be types and shadows of the coming One(Messiah). So with that in mind, they are all merely pointing to the Anointed One. His words are spirit and truth so in theory go much deeper than the works of Moses and other older miracles. They are not about the outer man but the inner man.

Answer 3

you forgot that...

-he was born of a virgin
-because God said from the sky "this is my son whom i am well pleased" in Matt 3:17, Mark 1:11, Luke 3:22, and John 1:32-34
-not only did he raise someone from the dead, but he also was raised from the dead
-God fed the Jewsih nation, not Moses. Moses cant make manna fall from the sky, Moses can't make water com from a rock, Elisha's bones can't make a prerson raise from the dead. God instructed all these people to do those things. Jesus did it on his own

if you can argue against that, please be willing to do so

Answer 4

Jesus is so special because he is the Messiah. We count time based on his birth, i.e. we are living in 2007 which is 2007 since Jesus' birth. Also, Christianity is the biggest religion in the world. Finally, look at the influence Jesus had on western thought, i.e. equality for woman, freedom, and liberty.

He has impacted the world more than anyone else since his birth. He did this without ever leaving the Middle East and without ever holding a political office and while basically being what we would considered to be financially poor.

Answer 5

using your own analogies, the bible clearly states that THE LORD GOD caused all these things.
Moses: was given a staff of the LORD to hit that rock with
Moses: asked THE LORD to provide the food for his people
ELISHA was blessed of THE LORD in order to do what he did

Since the bible also clearly prophesies Jesus' birth, ministry, death and ressurection as the Lord incarnate, that would follow that He Himself is responsible for each and every one of the miracles you listed.

Blessings.

Answer 6

Jesus was a revolutionary who wanted to bring the Jews out of their god fearing (more along the lines of threatened rather than fearing) authoritarianism and into a more enlightened and liberal existence free of many of the social restrictions disguised as gospel of Judaism.

Unfortunately somewhere along the lines his teachings were turned into a cult.

Answer 7

Read the 4 Gospels - Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John

Answer 8

JC...is Junior College..

Answer 9

God gave moses and elisha those abilities, they didnt come from man himself. God wanted to show his power through them, as He does all of us. He simply took our place and died for us, so we have the opportunity to go to heaven if we believe and trust in Him.

Answer 10

As I understand it, it goes like this:

Jesus is crucified. Jesus is placed in the tomb. 3 days later, Jesus comes back out of the tomb. If he sees his shadow, he goes back in and we have 6 more weeks of winter weather.
