There is universal proof that Jesus exists. Most cultures and religions have stories about him. This includes places all over the world that are not easy to have access. Even the Native Americans have stories of meeting him when he was alive.
Jesus went around and learned all religions, and treated them all equally. He took the gifts they had to offer, and used them to help harmonize society.
So how come Christianity has such a close-minded religion?

Yes, the Cree people call him Manitou. I also believe that the Buddists met him too.

Whoever he is, he's not interested in us enough to come pay us a visit, so stop obsessing with him.

Sort of imagination.
Do you believe that the Native Americans have meet the true Jesus Christ when he became man?
Do you believe the true Jesus Christ went around the world and studied all religions and treated them equal.
And do you believe the true Jesus Christ took gifts offered for the purpose of helping society to be harmonized?
How come you believe those things unknown but you do not believe the true Jesus Christ.
Its a miracle in ones brain and heart.

So because other cultures have stories of Jesus means that they met Him? I don't think so. The migration of Native Americans into North America was not an overnight process. They had been coming to what would become America for thousands of years. It just makes sense that SOMEONE would bring what they had heard into the other tribes.
It's been 2000 years since Jesus walked the Earth, and His disciples spread the word as far as they could. It spread like wildfire. So the fact that there are stories about Jesus in other cultures makes sense.

There is proof that many men named Jesus lived around the time of Christ. There is also proof that a few of them were carpenters and there was a prophet or two. There is no evidence he was the son of god, or had disciples or performed miracles - apart from the bible, which as any logical person knows is flawed. There is also no evidence that any of these Jesus' travelled outside of the middle east.
To Ex Head - religion was around before Jesus, so it is not because of him that we have religion.

icarus62, that is not the worse ..... there are even Christian who claims Buddha got enlightenment because he met Jesus Christ as the holy man and some even claim the Taoist founder Laozi found the way and wrote Dao De Jing because Jesus Christ was there to guide him .....
Then they say Christianity is a open-minded religion ..... LOL.... attribute every other people's achievement as Jesus Christ's gift ..... now that is "really open minded" ....
** update **
Manitou .... that is what the native American call the god of the religion where some religion missionaries that went there to preach to them, I am quite sure these missionaries are not Jesus Christ ..... LOL ..... get your facts right :P

Christ was rejected by his own people. He was put to death for sedition and treason because those in power didn't believe he was the Son of God. Despite the many miracles, he was feared and hated. He did NOT treat all religions equally. He said the only way to Heaven was through Him, and no other route. He taught us to love one another as He loved us. That means to love the sinner, but hate the sin. He had no belongings, He had no possessions. The only gifts He had was the food He ate or the clothing that His mother, Mary had sewn for Him. Christianity may seem "close-minded" to those who have not accepted Him in to their lives. It goes beyond religion, beyond religious wars, beyond bigotry, or hatred. Man can be blamed for their own wars, not of Christ's choosing. He is pure love. He came to the world to save it, not rule it. He said to "render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." The most apparent affliction is closed hearts, not closed minds.

Christianity is such a close minded religion because most of the christians need someone to condemn. someone to put down to raise themselves up. Someone they can hate and not feel guilty about it.
Christ himself said
" The House of my Father has many mansions "
Good show by the way. I wasn't aware of the Native american thing.
thanks.

The native Americans had stories of meeting Jesus? I don't think so; he never came to America.
Closed-minded? What do you mean?

Offering a reference or two to your claims might lend you a bit more credibility. As is it, you appear like another new-age evangelsit who claims to have extra special information which has somehow eluded the public eye for 2000 years.
What was it Jesus said about false prophets? OH YEAH..."they will come using my name, and decieve many."
God bless.

Native Americans met Jesus? Well that's one of the most bizarre and amusing claims ever. I'd love to see the evidence.
