How is Jesus real?

Question

How and why is Jesus real. When I was younger I was a "born again" Christian but now that I am older (though I am still not very old at all) I have made several realisations about how Christianity cannot be right. I believe in God and I like all Christians believe that God is a perfect being. So why if he is so perfect would he send his son down to Earth and create a religion knowing that by doing so he would isolate 4 billion of the world's population and subsequently damn them all to hell for not having the beliefs that he wants. I believe that God doesn't care what you believe in he isn't completely self-centered like Christians see him as, he doesn't care nor wants us to worship him. I believe that all God wants from us is to live moral and kind lives towards our fellow man and by doing so he will grant us entry into whatever lay beyond death.

Answer 1

No man comes to the Father unless He draws them. And there is no other authority than Jesus the Christ the Lord by which you may gain entrance to heaven.

Answer 2

God sent His son to die for our sins. Before that, people were punished for their sins. Jesus bore all the sins of the world that day. God did not create a religion, men did. He commanded to go out into the world and bring the good news. Whoever hears it, then can decide whether to go with Him or not. As with everything else in life, we are responsible for the decisions we make. We are to strive and become like Christ, that includes being kind towards our fellow man and by doing good. If there is a person who has never heard of Jesus Christ, then I doubt they will go to hell.

Answer 3

I believe I can fly so what do you think would happen if I were to jump from a 10 story building? What one believes may or may not have anything to do with reality. Perhaps it is your perception of God that is wrong. Why not find out for yourself what is the true character of God rather than making judgments about Him based of what you've been told by others.

Answer 4

Listen friend, God is just in his judgments and wise in his ways. Not all will have the opportunity to hear of him or his son Jesus, but they shall be judged by their deeds and their hearts. Also, Jesus did not mean for us to practice our faith in the way which we do. He did not mean for his rock of the church Peter to be anything but a guiding light and a source of strength to the people. Peter (the pope) is simply a man just as you or I are. The church is not some structure of grandeur but the hearts and souls of men. We Christians are meant to be living examples and testimonials to the peoples of the earth and bring the good news to all nations. We must all recognize that we are all sinners and that if we reject Jesus Christ we are guilty of sin and punishable by death.

Answer 5

Yes, but not really. Even if you say that Jesus is real because his soul is real, the soul is beyond being, beyond what is real. So it is not right to say that Jesus is real in the same way that a tree is real, or a natural phenomenon is real, but that the soul that once represented Jesus is real. So rather than Jesus being real, comparable to other real things, he is Reality Itself, but at this point, he is God, so saying Jesus is real is equal to saying God is real, or that Jesus is God. So whenever you pray devoutly to Jesus, you are really praying to God.

The error in Christianity is saying that the only way to God is through Jesus. This is absurd, because literally they are saying "the only way to God is through God," which is true, but the insertion of Jesus is a misnomer that forces the mind to think of the material and useless body of Jesus rather than the salvation quality of God.

Answer 6

Do you know who Jesus is? What he did? What he taught?

Do you know or even care why you might need him?

Are you a good person? What a question, most of us believe that we are good people because we can look around and find someone that is far worse than we are. We can always point to the things that we think make us a good person.

But how good are we really? Dare we take this test and look at ourselves and see if we really are good? Hmmm.

If you are willing try this and see just how good a person you are.

The Good Person Test.

How will you do? Pass or fail?


Have you ever told a lie?
Doesn't matter how big or small, just a lie.
What does that make you? Before answering think about this, if I told you a lie what would you call me? A liar?

Have you ever stolen anything? Cost doesn't matter, a piece of gum, failed to give back an ink pen that you borrowed, anything.
What does that make you?

Jesus said, "You know the saying of old, you shall not commit adultery but I say that if look at someone to lust after them you have committed adultery in your heart.
Have you ever lusted?

Jesus said that hate is equal to murder.
Have you ever hated anyone?

See one day we all are going to stand before a Holy God on Judgment Day and he is going to judge us based on His Holy Law, the Ten Commandments. These are just 4 of them and how did you do? Guilty? I have broken all of these and more, what about you? How well will you do on Judgment Day?

If we break just one point of God's Law we are guilty of breaking all the law and Gods Wrath abides upon us all. Based on God's Law we are all guilty and all are deserving of punishment. But there is an out for us.

Jesus paid the price for each one of us, took on himself God's Wrath so we wouldn't have to face it on our own. Jesus was beaten, battered, bleed and died so we wouldn't have to face God's Wrath. He rose again so that we would life in his presence. Our crimes, His payment.

The real question is where will you stand on Judgment Day. Pay yourself or have it paid for you. Think about it.

Answer 7

Mayhap you'll do better as a Buddhist.

"wants from us is to live moral and kind lives towards our fellow man and by doing so he will grant us entry into whatever lay beyond death." - that is what Siddhartha Gautama wanted.

Answer 8

Why bother picking and choosing which parts of the bible to believe? If you are going to take it that far, why not add a few more parts to make it a little more interesting? I suggest something about an invisible pink unicorn.

Answer 9

We are born again when we are baptized in the Name of The Saint Trinity.

Compilation of My Holy Will
*******
19 November 2003

“JNSR”: Lord, Thy Holy Will triumph on Earth as it does in Heaven.

JESUS: It will be a Time of Peace and Renewal, a Time of Joy and Solace for every soul. This time of great trials will end soon.

I am coming to ask you to write My Holy Will, in the same way you would write a compilation of the most intimate thoughts. You will keep this book.

God has not been well loved by His People. I am coming back to make you look for My Way that has been lost through lack of having been followed, or rather through lack of having never been sought after.

How are you going to understand this book that is not a book. It a compilation, it is the forgotten net of the fisherman, that is going to be pulled up from the deep end, after many years, to get the fish that has been left. Is it still alive? Some are because they ate other fish, and others are because in the fold of the net, they were feeding on Hope.

Hope is the foundation of everything.

Without Hope life is tasteless. And from that, life becomes heavy. And from heavy, it becomes burdensome enough to burden other people; those around you and who are rejecting you.

An object is rare according to the value we give to it. But the value is not in its price; it is in the simple beauty. But who can see the real beauty of the soul in this world where paste has replaced real diamond?

Here is what all of you and everyone of you should be interested in:

My Holy Will.

To follow Me is not easy. To imitate Me is not given to everybody because to be able to imitate Me, you need to have what it takes, that is to be able to receive My Print in your heart, in your spirit.

First of all I need people who seek Me and who know what they are looking for and the risks that go with it. Looking for Me is not a game. You need a good reason without arguing. Simply wishing Me. Wishing Me without fear of taking risks.

I am the highest mountain, inaccessible to people who suffer from vertigo; the fever of My Knowledge.

You might encounter it as you follow Me or more simply as you look for Me.

Such is My Will.

To seek Me, to follow Me and to accept the risks that will appear suddenly along the Way that you are following.

To know Me. You will never be able to fathom Me deeply .It would take you several centuries. In fact, it would take you the Eternity to get closer to Me but during this Eternity, you will never stop knowing Me though you will know who I Am because, already on this earth, you already have the opportunity to know who I Am: GOD.

Say simply, deep down:

I am the useless one filled in with the Essential One.

I am becoming a mere nothing that holds a Whole

Because the Essential is in me,

Because He let himself being captured

Because of my will

That I just have put

In his Holy Will.

See already in this first message, an aspect of what I am asking you to write for Me to each of you.

All of you, Follow Me!
