Who is Jesus to you? since i prayed and let him into my heart to forgive my sins as a Jew, he became my good shepherd to guide me and be my best friend-who is Jesus to you???
"Jesus saith, I am the way the truth and the life, no one cometh unto the father but by me." John 14:6
"He that hath seen me hath seen the Father, I and my Father are one." John
"I am the light of the world He that followeth me will not walk in darkness but have the light of life." John 8
"The earth will pass away but my words shall stand forever." Jesus -my best friend wahhhooooo yahoo
Who is Jesus to you? one to reject so you can live in sin and degrade your life? Is he part of a religion-you can go to church every sunday and stick up your nose at sinners-and be just a religious hypocrite being used to drive people away from knowing Jesus personally. He offers a relationship not a religion.
Church is borning-till you personally know Jesus-then its a celebration of true love.
Who's Jesus

Jesus is a conglomeration of myth and twisted jewish theology.
There is no historical evidence of his existence, and if he did exist, he did not fulfill the Jewish prophecies about the Messiah.
In Psalm 22:17 the Hebrew states "hikifuni ca'ari yaday veraglay" which means "they bound me (hikifuni) like a lion (ca-like ari-lion), my hands (yaday) and my feet (ve-and raglay-my feet). The Christians translate this as "they pierced my hands and feet". Nowhere in the entire Torah, Prophets and Writings do the words ca'ari or hikifuny mean anything remotely resembling "pierce".
In Isaiah 7:14 the Hebrew states "hinei ha'almah harah veyoledet ben" "behold (hineih) the young woman (ha - the almah- young woman) is pregnant (harah) and shall give birth (ve-and yoledet-shall give birth) to a son (ben)". The Christians translate this as "behold a virgin shall give birth." They have made two mistakes (probably deliberate) in the one verse. They mistranslate "ha" as "a" instead of "the". They mistranslate "almah" as "virgin", when in fact the Hebrew word for virgin is "betulah". Aside from the fact that if you read the context of that prediction you will see clearly that it is predicting an event that was supposed to happen and be seen by king Achaz who lived 700 years before Jesus!
Other prophecies or contradictions to prophecy:
There is no prophesied second coming. This is contrived and not of the bible.
His lineage was to be through his father, not an adopted father.
The idea of a trinity is completely foreign to jewish scripture.
The idea of a god man is pagan and violates all the God said about himself in the "old testament".
Messiah is a prophet, a scholar and a pious king. Jesus made a prediction that "The time is fulfilled, the kingdom of God is at hand." (Mark 1:15) That was 2000 years ago, has the kingdom of God come? Do you call the holocaust, Pol Pot and Stalin a world in which the kingdom of God has come? Jesus was not a great scholar - one of the requirements of the Messiah. Was Jesus a king? He was not anointed as king by a prophet (as was the rule in Jewish kings), he was not appointed by any judicial body as a leader and he did not rule over the Jewish people nor was he accepted by them. He was arrested, tortured and killed by the Romans like a common criminal. He had no army or government. The answer to my question is an obvious, "no."
Christianity denies the eternal relevance of Torah Law, basing the concept of the New Testament on a mistranslation of a verse in Jeremia. In Jeremia 31:30 the Hebrew states: "Henei yamim baim Neum Hashem VeCharati Brit Chadash" They translate: "Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new Testament with the house of Israel "
"Brit" does not mean Testament. Throughout Scripture "Brit" means covenant. See for example Genesis 17:2, 15:18 Exodus 24:8, Leviticus 26:42, Numbers 25:12.
It is a fundamental principle of Judaism that the Torah received at Sinai will never be changed nor become obsolete. This concept is mentioned in the Torah no less than 24 times, with the words:
"This is an eternal law for all generations"
Exodus 12:14, 12:17, 12:43, 27:21, 28:43, Leviticus 3:17, 7:36, 10:9, 16:29, 16:31, 16:34, 17:7, 23:14, 23:21, 23:31, 23:41, 24:3, Numbers 10:8, 15:15, 19:10, 19:21, 18:23, 35:29, Deuteronomy29:28)
It is absurd to accept the Divine origin of the Torah yet deny it's eternal relevance. Judaism is a religion of action; it has always taught that through performance of the commandments one declares the belief of the heart. To dispense with the legal body of the Torah and reduce it to a book of morals would cut it down to less than half it's size. Can this really be the meaning of those words an eternal law for all generations?
Therefore, considering that Christianity bases their belief in Messiah on Jewish theology, your Jesus, if he did exist, was NOT the Messiah, and therefore cannot be the "savior" of the world.

Praise God. You are almost there in your relationship with Him. All you need now is the Upper Room Experience to reach your final destination. And we get that by following Acts 2:38 for complete forgiveness of sins. And when we receive the Holy Ghost Acts2:4 we have the earnest of our inheritance!! God Bless you and don't delay, God is waiting to give you His Spirit!!!!

He is our Savior, Christ the Lord! It is only thru finally understanding that and accepting Him as God's gift to us that any of us may at last enter God's Heaven.

Jesus to me was a great man born long ago who tried to teach people how to be kind and love one another. Over the centuries, that message was twisted and contorted and he was made into a god by people who just couldn't understand.

Not a dumb religious icon. He must have been pretty smart to manipulate all those people while pretending to be an innocent angel.
How about deceiving religious icon? :)
