Will he forgive me for everything? How is Jesus different from the other half man half god beings from Greek cultures? This is silly...

Jesus is the only one who was fully God while being fully man on this earth. He had no beginning. He was always with the Father before there was "a beginning." No-one else in history can say that. Also He is the only one who was ever resurrected, and left the tomb empty of its prey. In sincerity, you ask Jesus to forgive your sins, come into your heart and be Lord of your life. He said that He was faithful and just to forgive all your sins if you ask in faith, believing. Its as simple as that.

You must first realize that you need a savior. Confess your sins and repent. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God,and that he died and rose again. Accept forgiveness. God will give you a brand new life. Begin filling your heart with the Word of God. Trust Him for He is Faithful.Unless you truly believe, you will not know God.Allow Him to fill you with His spirit. He will remember your sins no more.( people will not let you forget) but God sees you a New creature in Christ Jesus.

You have to accept that you are a sinner and that only Jesus' death on the cross can obtain forgiveness for all your sins, past, present and future. You then confess with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord and Savior and that you believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead. Then you join a Spirit-filled church to know more about Jesus and how to walk in His love and in His provisions for you.

Yes, He will forgive you for everything. You don't have to go to a church to be saved. You can do it right where you're sitting. It's a simple prayer in your own words, acknowledging that you've sinned against God and asking Him to forgive you and help you in turning from them, that you believe in Jesus Christ, that He sacrificed His blood to pay for your sins, died, and rose on the third day.
Jesus is different from all the others because of His miracles, because He was God in the flesh, because He rose from the dead (with hundreds of witnesses seeing Him afterward), and because He has the power to transform your life.
This is what the Bible says you must do to be saved:
"That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." -Romans 10:9-10
"Then they asked him, 'What must we do to do the works God requires?' Jesus answered, 'The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.' -John 6:28-29 (Good works do not save us)
"He then brought them out and asked, 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' They replied, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.'" -Acts 16:30-31
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." -Ephesians 2:8-9

Jesus is God's son; that is what makes him different from those other mythical gods. And yes he will forgive you for past, present, and future sins.
1. I must realize that in my present condition I am a sinner before God. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3.23.)
2. I cannot save myself from eternal punishment in hell "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord: (Romans 6:23)
3. Christ has paid for my sins and my punishment with His death on the cross. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him (Jesus should not perish, but have everlasting life: "(John 3:16)
4. I must accept His crucifixion as payment for my sins, personally. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13)
If you would like to have assurance of eternal life, then pray this prayer: "Lord, I know I am a sinner. I believe Your Son, Jesus Christ, died on the cross for my sins. Please forgive me of my sins and make me a new person. I commit my life to you today. Amen,"
When you are saved, you are sealed with God's Holy Spirit for eternity. You cannot loose your salvation because you are now adopted into the family of God.
It is important to find a bible teaching church and become part of the body of Christ to help you grow in your walk with the Lord. Read the Bible daily.

Yes, he will forgive you for everything... Just tell him that you are truly sorry for the wrong things you have done,that you don't want to do them again. Then ask him to come into your life as your saviour and lord. I would also suggest contacting a nearby church group for support and guidance.

Here is how you can receive Jesus Christ and the free gift of Salvation:
1. Admit you are a sinner in need of a Savior.
2. Be willing to repent and turn from sin.
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried and rose from the dead.
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and take control of your life.
Receive Him as Lord, Savior and Mediator between you and God.
A suggested prayer (try to use your own words from the heart):
Dear Lord Jesus,
Lord I know I have sinned against you and stand in judgement. I need your forgiveness, I need Jesus. I know Jesus can be my Savior. I repent and turn from sin today. I turn back to You and ask You to come into my life and be my Lord and my Savior. I put my trust and hope in Jesus Christ and accept the free gift of salvation you have provided in Him.
In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen
Rejoice in the Lord!
If you prayed this prayer and meant it with all your heart...
God says...
For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast." Ephesians 2:8,9
If you received Christ today, you are reborn into God's family through the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer in Christ. Rejoice that your name has been written in the Lamb's Book of Life!
Today is the beginning of your new life in Christ. To strengthen your relationship with Him you should:
1. Read your Bible everyday.
2. Talk to God in prayer everyday.
3. Tell others about Jesus Christ.
4. Find a church where Christ is preached and His Word is the authority.
5. Be baptized as Christ commanded.
I can't help you with the differences between Jesus and the Greek stuff though! lol

it requires ceremony in a pocket church performed by a pastor or priest so that your emotion will be stirred to receive the spirit of Lord Jesus Christ after you confess and be repentant of your sins and pledge to serve him. In comparison with other Greek goddess , they are purely myth and if ever existed they have their death. While Jesus is a reality , word became flesh, to be with us , who died but has risen again.

Mate my son is a scientist, He asked Jesus to be His Lord and saviour, in his own words. He is locked into a local church that he feels comfortable with. He is doing fine. So can you.
