John 14:12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
I can think of very few of you who have. Help add to the list of those who have accomplished more than Jesus.
1. Gandhi
2. Mother Theresa
3. Martin Luther King Jr.
4. Albert Einstein
5. Bono and the One Campaign
6. Lady Di
7. Dr. Schweitzer
8. Galileo
9. Buddha
10. Lao Tzu

All of you Christians should be careful how you answer. Many of you say that no one can do greater works than Jesus, yet in the bible he clearly says you will. You are disagreeing with your own scripture. But thank you once again for providing us with your own inconsistences.

Verily have I built my own computers and bicycles, and hath improved the offroad capabilities of mine holy Jeep.
And lo, did I wire my home theater system and construct therapeutic medical equipment.
None of which Jesus did. Which shows again that all Jesus' "miracles" can be explained away as simple amazement from technologically ignorant people.

11. No one ever. And may I add that out of the 10 before me, only one(two maybe) outwardly professed Christ, and they were all pretty famous. IF YOU DON'T KNOW CHRIST, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU SINGLE-HANDEDLY RIGHT ALL WRONGS IN THE WORLD--Do not pass go, go directly to Hell. That's what the Bible says, that's what I believe to be true.

not even one." Romans 3:10

a chief occasion of it truly is Peter's first preaching to a mass objective industry on the day of Pentecost, whilst hundreds have been saved in that at some point; Jesus Himself in no way observed mass conversions in the time of His earthly ministry. yet in no way ignore that this became accomplished because of empowering of the Holy Spirit, as given by using Christ following His return to the daddy, no longer in something particular to Peter. certainly, John and Charles Wesley, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Grattan Guinness, all observed greater people come to faith by using their ministries than Jesus did, and in all threat better than any of apostles did. Jesus did no longer use idle words whilst describing what the present of the Holy Spirit might gain in the process the honest, and this may be much greater obtrusive whilst, in heaven, we see the roll-call of the saved, and people who faithfully persevered each and every torture, ploughed by using each and every guy-made and spiritual impediment, and defied kings and potentates to deliver the Gospel to those that mandatory it. might God bless all who particularly seek for Him.

To do greater works, means that one receives the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Jesus operated as a human anointed by the Holy Spirit.
Smith Wigglesworth, had prayed someone who had died back to life. Rebuking death. Also, someone in my Church, her daughter died. She prayed for her to come back to life & she did.
So, this is a great work that Jesus did. But there are greater works, and that comes with unity in Christ, where Christians come together in faith, agreeing & operating in the power of the Holy Ghost.

Jesus is a man who survived 6000 yrs of existance... who knows all he's done in that time... but Mother Nature in past 40 yrs has done greater things than the whole human race combined.

With the exception of MLK and Mother Theresa, none of the others were spiritually on the right track. They accomplished things in the name of humanism, not God. Big difference between humanism and spirituality.

They arent greater then jesus nor have more power they have just been able to make big changes due to knowledge n strengths jesus had given them u can do somethin powerful by saving some1 else n inviting them to church or sharin the bible with them and turning their life around!
***However Jesus doesnt say we can do greater work then him he's referring to his disciples in that scripture becuz we believe him and we havent seen him which is much harder then his disciples who actually saw him **

Smith Wigglesworth, I could go and name other great preachers that have done as much or more but you would just reject anything I have to say. With your humanistic thinking. None of what you have listed saved one soul or raised the dead to life or prayed for someone to be healed and they were.
