Seriously. I wonder sometimes. Wouldn't he ask people why they aren't studying Judaism, which is what he was teaching (obviously, since the rest of the bible was written AFTER he died)?

Jan P - "Actually He wasn't teaching Judaism. He told people the greatest commandment was to love the Lord your God, with all your heart, mind, soul, and body, and your neighbor as your self"
I hate to break it to you, but those are taught in the Ten Commandments, which are part of the Old Testament.

Michael M - "Ask yourself why the pharisees wanted him dead if he was teaching the same thing? "
Because Jesus was preaching to the gentiles while the critics thought only people of Jewish decent should be allowed to study the religious texts. Still, they were teaching from the same texts.

Yes, "WWJD" would be better as a Jewish slogan. But they don't really need those gimmicks. I've never been heckled by a Jewish person.

Ask yourself why the pharisees wanted him dead if he was teaching the same thing? And the rest of the Bible was written by people that he taught and who had first hand knowledge of what he said and did. The apostle John helped in compiling the manuscripts together before he died in 100 A.D.

Actually He wasn't teaching Judaism. He told people the greatest commandment was to love the Lord your God, with all your heart, mind, soul, and body, and your neighbor as your self. You get to know Jesus by reading the Bible and you get to know the Father by learning about the Son.

uh, no. The Pharisees were the main skeptics of Jesus' day, and they DID study Judaism. Christ taught of the Kingdom of God, which was supposed to allow all of mankind to come to know God, if they so chose to follow Him. And yes, the New Testament was written after he died, even 'til about 95 A.D., but that still doesn't prove your point.

And I'd hate to break it to YOU, but none of those ideas are found within the Ten Commandments themselves but elsewhere in the Torah.

If one believes the tales about Jesus at all, then he was given insight and power most humans do not posses, and is therefor not suitable to be an example for said humans.

Jesus is not the God, not even the Son of God. he's just a human being and one of God's most beloved prophet. and the Bible are not his word. its someone else's word. someone else who updated the Bible according to their importance and clap when people followed them. and make them filthy richer

He died for our sins and left us in forgiveness for what we have done and what we are going to do that might be to sin. All he ended up wanting is for us to love one another. above all love!.?
