What a shame and pity that people actually believe in the lies and deceptions of religion...

Answer 1

To the end, Jesus was a Jew. Christianity came about when the Romans began calling the followers of Jesus "Christ," Christians.

I agree with you. Were Jesus here today, he would be appalled at the goings-on in his name. He fought against the religious establishment to bring about a closer relationship with god. I'm not a Christian, and even I don't have a problem seeing that.

I wonder how many "Christians" (insert raised eyebrow and satirical sarcasm here, you know what I mean) will tell you you're an idiot, uneducated, or that you're going to hell for this question and statement.

WWJD? Get rid of Christianity, that's what.

1 Matthew 23:29 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous.
30 And you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'
31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.
32 Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers!
33 "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?

Jesus recognized that mankind corrupts the word of God...
It is not the lies and deceptions of religion, but men.

Answer 3

Jesus did not come to start a religion. Jesus came to atone for our sins and bring us a higher law than the Law of Moses. The religion that Christ taught was the same religion that was taught to Adam in the beginning. It is not a shame that there is religion. It is a shame that there are so many different religions. God would like for us all to be of His true church, but man mixed his philosophies in with scripture to the point that left things open for interpretation. We all have different opinions, so that's why we have so many different religions and denominations.

Answer 4

All spiritual belief systems require time to gather momentum,
it's easier today due to mass communications but if ole
Jesus had the web he'd have had a larger following
faster and had more influence over how his teaching were
interpreted.
I don't thik it'd save him though from being killed,the
power elite (not politicians,talkin bout the ppl the politicians
answer to) have and always wil 'remove' anyone who they
see as a threat to their influence.

Answer 5

For the 1st 7 years after Jesus' dying and resurrection, Christianity grew to become right into a sect of Judaism then in 40 A.D. (at Antioch)Christianity grew to become a separate faith, while they found out that with the intention to strengthen they might want to transform Gentiles, something frowned upon in Judaism. additionally important ameliorations have been transforming into in Judaism and Christianity, so a good distance as customs. Jesus is the founding father of Christianity, even nevertheless, to be sure that the religion of Christianity to be taken as expert, he had to triumph over dying, so because it is the reason it would desire to no longer initiate until eventually he died. the terrific proofs for Jesus existance lies interior the shown fact that there is almost no way in 7 years a team of human beings might desire to completely make up a tale a pair of guy, and not have anybody who could have been an eyewitness debunk their tale and say that's a lie. additionally many of the early Christians who witnessed Jesus' strikes died terrible deaths, and did no longer say "O merely kidding it grew to become into purely a comedian tale." additionally the Romans and Jews did no longer like Christianity (of course), they might have easily tried to break the hot faith by using asserting that Jesus on no account existed, yet they knew going on that path grew to become into pointless as there have been eyewitnesses to testify that Jesus had lived. Your faith that Jesus did no longer exist is consistent with no historic evidence, purely hypothesis yours is a lot extra blind than mine, as I even have some historic evidence (Josephus, Antioch, and of direction the Bible, and definite the Bible does have credibility because it shows issues commonplace as historic actuality approximately historic Israel). you are able to deny all you want that Jesus did no longer carry out any miracles and grew to become into purely a guy, even nevertheless, you will no longer be able to logically deny he ever existed.

Answer 6

If you read the "Old Testament" you would know that prophecies went forth to proclaim the coming of the messiah which is Jesus Christ. In the "New Testament" is proclaim the prophecies fulfilled of his arrival. Christ came to seek and save those that are lost. He established the twelve disciples who repented and accepted His teachings. Christ trained them and they went forth spreading the good news of the gospel. According to Matthew 28:16, 18-20 it says: (16). Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. (18) And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. (19) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; (20) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Now, today we have many religions - but only one Lord, one Faith, and one Baptism all others are man-made. Do you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ? If you so, why concern yourself with religion? Concern yourself with a personal relationship with Jesus. If not ask Christ to come into your heart - read St. John 3:16, Romans 10:6-15

Answer 7

Here's a very interesting site: http://www.bidstrup.com/bible.htm

A lengthy excerpt:

< ... The writings of Paul accepted as genuinely his (Galatians I and II and Thessalonians I and II, Corinthians, Romans, Philemon, Phillipians, and possibly Colossians) are by far the most pristine of any early Christian literature we have. They were probably written beginning in the fifth decade of the first century - well after the events of Jesus' life. When the letters are examined in isolation, it becomes apparent that Paul was ignorant of the doctrine of the virgin birth, that he never spoke in terms of having lived in Jesus' time, nor does he mention that any of his mentors were contemporaries of Jesus, nor that Jesus worked any miracles and he appparently did not associate the death of Jesus with the trial before Pilate. Only in Galatians 1:19 does he make reference to a contemporary Jesus, and then only in terms of James being the "Lord's brother." The use of the term "Lord's" even makes that single reference somewhat questionable to scholars, as the word "Lord's" did not have currency until the late 2nd. century. So the Pauline letters, at least the reliably Pauline letters, aren't good witnesses for a Jesus of the first half of the first century. What makes this particularly interesting, is that other non-Canonical early Christian pre-Gospel literature make the very same omissions.

Later Christian writings were written well after the events they describe, none earlier than at least the seventh decade at the earliest. And none of them are known to have been written by the authors to which they are ascribed. Most are second or third-hand accounts. There was plenty of time for mythmaking by the time they were written, so they're clearly not reliable witnesses.

The next stricture of the Negative Evidence Principle is that there isn't any sound evidence where there should be, and here again this stricture is met. First, there are no records whatever of Jesus' life in the Roman records of the era. That's surprising, since he stirred up so much unrest, at least by Biblical accounts. There at least ought to be a record of his arrest and trial, or some of the political notoriety the gospel writers describe. Yet the Roman histories are silent, even though they are quite thorough (Flavius Josephus alone wrote dozens of volumes, many of which survive, and he is far from the only historian of Palestine in this period whose writings have survived in some form). Second, as mentioned, there is no reliable account in Josephus.

Josephus was a historian who was so very thorough he would write a three page history of the trial and execution of a common thief, and wrote extensively about John the Baptist, but on Jesus, his two small references are seriously doubted by scholars as being genuine. Unfortunately, the writings of Josephus have come down to us only through Christian sources, none earlier than the fourth century, and are known to have been revised by the Christians. There are a number of reasons why the two references in Josephus are doubted: As summarized by Louis Feldman, a promient Josephus scholar, they are, first, use of the Christian reference to Jesus being the Messiah is unlikely to have come from a Jewish historian, especially from one who treated other Messianic aspirants rather harshly; second, commentators writing about Josephus earlier than Eusebius (4th Cent. C.E.) do not cite the passage; third, Origen mentions that Josephus did not believe that Jesus was the messiah. There is a full account available on the Internet that describes the whole long list of problems with the "Testimonium Flavium" as scholars call it.

The earliest secular literary evidence for a religion based on the man we call Jesus comes from many decades after Jesus' supposed death (from about 70 C.E.). Why, if he had as much influence, and caused as much a stir as the Bible says he did, do we not know of him at all from reliable, contemporary testimony? ... >

Answer 8

Sometimes I wonder if there is any intelligent life out there, but I bet you don't. And talk about ignorant. You need to stop looking into that mirror you have next to your monitor.

And you are what now? 14 or 15? I don't remember.

Answer 9

It did! Jesus founded a Church, ordained its first priests, taught them the doctrinal truths that they were to teach, and instituted the sacraments. All of this was in place before Jesus died, has remained in place ever since, and will remain in place until the end of time, just as Jesus promised.

Answer 10

It was being created while he was alive.

Have you read the New Testament?

Jesus states clearly that he is the light, the way and the truth.

Oh, and one more thing, I don't need or want your pity, I am perfectly happy being a Christian.

Peace!
