If Jesus was alive today, would you recognize him? Or... more likely... would you think he was some crazy cult leader? Would you believe him? Maybe Jesus was just a cult leader posing as a prophet. How do you know?

There is no proof that Jesus did anything miraculous other than stories from centuries ago that had been passed down and altered countless times in the process.

Nobody could say for sure. All we have are accounts that were written by men. All from stories they heard that had been passed
down from one person to the next. The literacy rate of the world at the time was probably about 3 percent. No substantial evidence of any kind exists. Who knows what Jesus was really like or if he actually said or did anything he is credited with. Since
nobody knows for sure I don't waste any energy thinking about it.

witchy: There were 120 followers of His, who saw Him [Jesus] perform miracles like making the dead rise back to life, exercising demons from people and many, many more. They eventually, did not stay with Him in spite of witnessing these things. Therefore, today, the news media would get hold of the story and fan the flames of doubt, skepticism and denial. The real sad thing would be though, countless billions would suck it all up and believe the news media !!! Actually; the Roman govening authorities of the time thought Jesus was a radical cult leader and so did the religious Jewish Authorities ! King Herod tried to have Him [Jesus] murdered from birth. The Jewish historian Josephus and a few Roman historians wrote about Jesus Christ. The evidence supporting Jesus' existence and claim as God's Son was the incidence after His murder and prior to His resurrection from the dead. When Jesus was sealed in a tomb, Roman guards were posted around the stone sealing the tomb. The tomb bore a waxed seal with the Roman govenor's seal imprinted there on. If the guards fell asleep they were put to death by their Roman superiors. Although the claim was that Jesus' disciples stole the body; therefore, Jesus couldn't of have risen from the dead. This of course was not the case because the Roman guards ensured that no one would break the wax
seal especially not allowing the stone bearing it to be moved by anyone since their lives depended upon it. No doubt about it - Jesus was who He claimed to be, as hundreds saw Him alive following His resurrection to life from death. Quite a few people hope and wish He is a fraud and a cult leader, as they have a twisted and distorted view-point about who He really is and what His purpose was, for Him being on this earth.

Jesus did not prophesied about Koresh Lion. yet enable us say for a minute that Christianity is real. Then i fairly would doubt that folk like Jim Jones and David Koresh were inspired in any respect through your God. They purely had some authentic psychological issues and abused their powers to indoctrinate their followers. Their air of secrecy and potential to cajole had no longer some thing to do with God or faith. That become for selfish applications.

Christians believe that Jesus performed miracles and resurrected from the dead. Nobody makes such claims about David Koresh.

The people that knew david koresh are still following Jesus.
How do you know who david koresh is, or was?
Did you ever meet him? Or just hear about him? When the anitchrist reveals himself there will be alot of doubt. but alot will be fooled. When Jesus comes, there will be no doubt at all.
Don't blindly follow, seek the truth for yourself. The truth will lead you to Jesus your saviour.
God bless you, go in peace.

if you are a true Christen you would know him if you have the holy spirit in your heart that why is very important to read your bible daily so when you are listening to someone preach or teaching you know it's from the bible and not false teachings the bible warns about that false teachings there are many of them out there
lot of them are for entertainment to draw the people to the church but the Lord says if you lift him up he will draw the people to him

Good question but I'm not aware that David did miracles or rose 3 days after he died. Maybe I'm wrong.........
