Cuteness- I e-mailed you and whole-hertedly apologized to you for my response to your last question. Did you not receive it? If not, then here goes- I am sorry for being such a rude jerk and total *** for not having read your entire post. I am sorry if I've offended you in any way. I was wrong and I sincerely apologize. Yes, I did read that post, and I agree in large measure with what you wrote.

If you're seeking to know the truth about Jesus, read the Gospel of John, which is the 4th book in the New Testament. I recommend a more readable translation than the poetic King James, such as the New International Version, the New Living Translation, or the Message version.
Also try the book "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel, a journalist who started out with the idea of logically disproving Jesus and came to faith in Him instead.
The truth about Jesus is that God loves you and wants to be in eternal relationship with you, so much so that He was willing to die to save you.
That's no cheesy scam. That's a priceless gift.
What seems more right:
that you, an imperfect person, could live a good enough life to please a perfect God;
or that God loves you enough to live a perfect life as a human being and take the punishment of death in your place? An incredible plan from an incredible Creator. Why would you expect anything less?

I don't no why I'm answering this but if that's what passed threw your mind I don't believe you were thinking. And you don't have a clue to what your talking about. The Devil is the essence of evil. Jesus is hope for humanity and creation. Jesus second coming is to destroy those who destroy the world to save your kitty cat. Read the Bible on your own be inspired by the holy spirit you would be surprised what you could learn. The bible isn't all about wearing a suit and tie and giving all your money to the church. In-fact i don't think Jesus owned a suit.It is a very old book and there is a lot of violence in it but there is a lot more to it than that. In fact Jesus spoke against violence and hate. His greatest command is that we love one another.

The word devil means opposer (or something like that). Therefore Jesus might indeed be the opposer of the ways of this world. Sure was in the temple Mathew 21:12

JESUS IS REAL. Do not get that confused. Think of it
like this. If you were The Almighty. And you sent a part
of yourself, to the Earth to save mankind. Since you
cannot do it in Spirit form. So He sent a Man, named
Jesus, in the form of a human. The truth of the matter
is, all this is still The Supreme Being. Just took a piece
of himself, and sent it here. It is that simple.

You're not the first one to think that. In Chapter 12 verse 22 in the book of Matthew, there is a situation where the Pharisees see Jesus perform a miracle. He cure's a man who is basically possessed, blind and mute. He cures him and the whole crowd see's the guy speak and see. The Pharisees say what you've posted, in that "This man drives out demons by the power of beelzebul, the prince of demons." -- I'm not going to try to answer your question with my own answer- but instead I'll give you the answer Jesus gave.
"Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and no town or house divided against itself will stand. And if satan drives out satan, he is divided against himself; how, then, will his kingdom stand?"
Don't based your views on Jesus based off of what 'people' do or say... People have perverted alot of things... Look at our nation- we pledge 'one nation under God', yet we wage wars based on lies(Iraq)... How Christian is that? Jesus is perfect, only Good and people are mortal and can corrupt.

If you think Jesus is the Devil and really meet the real Devil I sure would not want to be standing with you. Futhermore Jesus is not a devil but a loving God hoping to save all of mankind to live for eternity.

If Jesus if the devil what was the purpose of tempting himself after John baptized him? and of healing the sick, of resurrecting Lazarus, of giving sight to the blind. Would the devil do this?
