Who is Jesus?

Question

Do you believe that he died for your sins and rose on the third day? What makes this hard to believe?

Answer 1

It's harder to believe that there is no hope at all for mankind. It's a tough pill to swallow without the right venue to converse. Jesus came, lived a sinless life (sin=anything that seperates us from God), and died in our place to bring us closer to God. He rose again on the third day to prove he was who he said he was. Yeah, I know, the world makes it really hard to believe it. People say that it's not even possible... but it's even less possible that we're here unless we were created, fell from grace, and needed a way to bridge that gap back to our perfect creator.

Answer 2

Jesus is the Son of God. He died for our sins and rose from the dead after 3 days and 3 nights. It's not difficult to believe. An abundant love for sin is what makes people ignore Jesus and the Salvation he has made available.

Answer 3

Lack of Faith, the part of God put into your soul to make you believe is why you would not believe it . The words of God are seeds and your heart is the ground, if your ground is not right the seeds will not grow properly, so God has to tear up your life sometimes to make you believe.
Jesus Christ is God the Leader of the mankind-earthly realm-- He is God and Our brother, our Father, our sister, and our mother.
Jesus Christ created all things, he is the Word of God from the beginning called the Logos, he was the pillar of fire in that bush talking to Moses and by night over the tabernacle a pillar of fire and by day a pillar cloud, Jesus was the rock that followed the children of Israel and when they needed a drink Moses smote him to get water. Jesus was the Cap on the great pyramid that was rejected , Jesus was the Lamb of God slain before the foundation of the world, Jesus Christ was the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
The Bible was purposefully made hard to believe so naturally minded people would over look the simplicity of being saved.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Numbers 20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
Exodus 3:2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
Matthew 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Luke 20:17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

Answer 4

In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son. "Christ, the Son of God made man, is the Father's one, perfect, and unsurpassable Word. In him he has said everything; there will be no other word than this one. St. John of the Cross, among others, commented strikingly on Hebrews 1:1-2:

In giving us his Son, his only Word (for he possesses no other), he spoke everything to us at once in this sole Word – and he has no more to say ... because what he spoke before to the prophets in parts, he has now spoken all at once by giving us the All Who is His Son. Any person questioning God or desiring some vision or revelation would be guilty not only of foolish behavior but also of offending him, by not fixing his eyes entirely upon Christ and by living with the desire for some other novelty.
There will be no further Revelation

"The Christian economy, therefore, since it is the new and definitive Covenant, will never pass away; and no new public revelation is to be expected before the glorious manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ."28 Yet even if Revelation is already complete, it has not been made completely explicit; it remains for Christian faith gradually to grasp its full significance over the course of the centuries.

Throughout the ages, there have been so-called "private" revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church. They do not belong, however, to the deposit of faith. It is not their role to improve or complete Christ's definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history. Guided by the magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium knows how to discern and welcome in these revelations whatever constitutes an authentic call of Christ or his saints to the Church.

Christian faith cannot accept "revelations" that claim to surpass or correct the Revelation of which Christ is the fulfillment, as is the case in certain non-Christian religions and also in certain recent sects which base themselves on such "revelations."

Peace and every blessing!

Answer 5

Jesus is who he said he was--God's Son. John 10:36. The Bible says he died, and was brought back to life by God the Father. Gal. 1:1. It is not hard to believe.

Answer 6

It depends, does he have a family name? I know the name Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God. The One and true God and his my friend. Anyway you can search in the Internet or in the lost and found section or even in your Police precinct maybe they have a record on him. Now if you serious enough and ready to accept the truth why don't you ask the parish priest in your area I'm sure he will be more that willing to answer your doubts.

Answer 7

What makes it hard to believe is that it can't be proved. If Christians are 'right' and going to 'heaven' or have some kind of eternal happiness, then everyone else must be wrong. I find it hard to believe that only ONE religious group is correct. I find it much easier to understand that everyone is wrong.

Answer 8

Of course I believe. But do you?
