Sad Girl Who Always Cries...why are you so sad???
I believe Jesus is really the Savior, really and truly. Take up the Cross if you choose and follow. Regardless of your choice, your question seem so sweet, how could anyone put you down.

First you need to realize that he did not personally ask you to accept him into his heart. You heard this from someone that is many generations apart from when he exists (Or even if he did exist). We actually do not even have any texts written from Jesus, they were in fact written several years after his death.
This is just one thing to consider. You should also question why the entire basis of the religion of Christianity is reliant on Adam and Eve. When one considers there was no single point where complete species just poofed into existence (creation) and accepts the mounds of evidence supporting evolution it becomes clear that there was no Adam and Eve, no garden of Eden, no tree of life. At this point, if there was no Adam and Eve what exactly did Jesus die for?
This is just the tip of the ice berg. There is so much evidence out there that the entire religion is just not possible. If you actually research with an open mind it is blatantly obvious.
The only way Christians can still believe their religion is to outright deny Science, or make up their own religion using the Bible as the basis for it.

YES! He is the Savior! The invitation does sound inviting, doesn't it!
Let's scientifically look at it and examine the facts:
There were over 300 prophesies in the Bible written 300 years before Jesus was even born. That one man had to fulfill 300 prophesies. Let's mathmatically look at this. The probability that one man randomly fulfilled JUST 8 of these prophesies is 10^28 (that's 10 with 28 0's after it) just chance? and this was just 8, not to mention all 300 that Jesus fulfilled! does that sound like random chance, i don't think so!
For a better explanation go to http://prophecyandcurrentevents.com/thglory/chrismas.htm
I like C. S. Lewis' reasoning:
"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of thing Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." Jesus must have been the Son of God, there is no other possibility because statistically how could a madman fulfill all those prophesies! I'ts impossible!
Jesus is God's Son and He LOVES you UNCONDITIONALLY! no matter what you do, God/Jesus will NEVER stop loving you! In the Bible, Romans 8:38-39 says:
“For I am convinced that neither life nor death, neither angels nor demons, neither present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Since we know that NOTHING we could ever do could stop Jesus from loving us, let's find out how much He loves us:
John 3:16 says,
"For God so loved the world that He gave His ONLY Son, that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life."
That's the promise of God. God wants you to believe in Him today. Don't ignore His call for you. All you need to do is pray to God, and admit that you're a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins because you believe that when Jesus died for you, He paid for your sins. Here is an example of a prayer you could pray.
Dear God,
I know i'm a sinner. I believe that you sent Your Son Jesus to die on the cross to pay for my sins. I believe that Jesus rose from the dead to conquer death and I'm asking you now to forgive my sins. I'm asking you to come into my heart and be my own personal savior. I trust in you that i'll go to Heaven when i die, so i won't have to fear death. Thank you for your gift. in Jesus' name. Amen"
Once you've prayed that prayer, you can know for sure that you are saved and will go to Heaven. God PROMISES in John 14:13-14 "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
God also PROMISES that He will NEVER leave you or forsake you! He'll always be with you. As Jesus said in the Bible, "I will never leave you or forsake you." and the Bible also says, "Cast all your cares upon HIM for He cares for you."
If you have any questions or concerns about anything, feel free to email me! I'd love to help in any way! I'll be praying for you!
God Bless :-)

He's the only person who would be beaten, spit upon, have a crown made of thorns put on his head, then die on a cross with thieves for all the wrong that we do. Then, he was buried in a borrowed tomb, went to hell, worshipping God and praising God until the 3rd day when God raised him from the dead. He went to heaven and sprinkled his blood on the alter for the remission of our sins, and then appeared to those who were mourning his death because their faith was weak. Then he sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in use to help us do his will. Yes, he's my Saviour. Don't take my word for it. Read the Bible yourself and find out. Don't let anyone persuade you one way or the other. It's between God and you.

Jesus is not inviting anyone to do anything, per say. He is waiting for us when we die to give us everlasting life, provided we believe in him NOW and surrender to him and be better persons, etc. We will be forgiven or sins if we truly are sorry for them in our hearts. You talk as if he's throwing a party or something. Sorry, doesn't quite work that way. If that's what you think, you are being misled or misadvised.

Jesus IS really the Savior. That "invitation" you feel is the Holy Spirit knocking at your door.
All you gotta do is say yes.
It's a win/win

IF Jesus is the savior than I imagine he would continue to practice that which he did when alive. Compassion, tolerance and love. So why would anyone worry?

Don't count on it. He's not a savior. He ascended into Heaven like a gentle balloon; and in the last days, twenty-five Jesuses will descend in like manner. None of the twenty-five are saviors. The whole thing will be for entertainment purposes only.

What if The Great God Nuggin were real?
We'd still have to live our lives respectful of one another and content to be uncertain.
