People say that because I am not a Christian I have rejected Jesus as my savior. I disagree. I have yet to meet anyone named Jesus (excluding a couple of Hispanic guys that I went to school with in Arizona). How can I have rejected someone whom I have never met? When I was younger, I tried talking to the Jesus that religious people told me existed. At the time, I was very serious and I revealed my deepest inner thoughts and asked him many questions. I have yet to receive a response and I have yet to see him. Secondly, if a person named Jesus died for my sins (whatever that means) I cannot thank him or show my appreciation unless I meet him. I suppose most religious people will say that Jesus reveals himself to us in the Bible. Well, I cannot put my trust in a book that was written by men who lived in a corrupt, evil society. With that said, the Bible indicates that one can actually have a personal relationship with Jesus, not just read about him. So, when you say that we have two choices: Accept Jesus and go to heaven or Reject Jesus and go to hell, where does that leave those of us who have not met him? I’m quite certain I know the answer to all of these questions, but I just wanted to see if any Christians can shed some light as to Jesus’ whereabouts.

Kaboodle: My next question is, where do I find my spirit? If Jesus is talking to my spirit, I need to check my spirit email account.

Have you seen the movie Field of Dreams? Ray and his wife and daughter and Terrance Mann can all see the baseball players. But her brother and other strangers CAN’T see them.
From the brother’s perspective, they are sitting around an empty field, like nonbelievers think church looks like nonsense, and people sitting around praying to a non-existent “God.”
Hundreds of millions of people around the world, for thousands and thousands of years have all been in contact with the same God. We can all see the baseball players. Just because you can’t see them, doesn't’t mean they aren't there.
If you're willing, open your heart. And instead of trying to talk TO Jesus, listen, and let God talk to YOU.
Ignore everything you've learned and all you've mentioned, and open your heart and mind, and LISTEN for God. Be receptive, and God will become known to you.
God will become known to you, not coincidence, or chance or luck, but the creator of the world will be in relationship with you, if you're stop thinking long enough to LISTEN for the voice of God.
Be still, and you will know God.
Godspeed.

Where you are getting it wrong is trying so hard to figure something that is spiritual with your physical senses. This is actually where christianity differs from other religions. You have closed your spirit up and will not feel anything spiritual. If you really want to meet Jesus, you have to first of all believe that He is a rewarder of them that dilligently seek Him. All you have to do is to open up your heart, ask Him to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and reject every doubt. You will be amazed at the experience you will have.

We reject the assumption of three Gods, even 3 gods interior one "godhead". the different theory different than "there is purely a million god indivisible" would not fly in Judaism. it is not that we despise different peoples for believing what they want even though it purely isn't a Jewish theory. Jesus became into under no circumstances foretold in the Torah, Tanakh or the different Jewish writing. Jesus isn't the Jewish messiah in accordance to the Jews and that's the way it somewhat is. We actually do no longer waste time thinking approximately him.

Do you know what faith is? You can't expect that Jesus will write you a letter answering your questions you have to really believe in him and not by signs and when Jesus says that he died for your sins that means that if you don't want to go to hell you just have to repent and ask for his forgiveness and he will clean you of course if you believe in him. And by the way now we're living in more corrupt, evil society.

Did you have faith when you talked to Him? Did you wait and watch patiently for an answer? Did you ask for something that Jesus thought wasn't right for you?
I've never met anyone who has seen Jesus so you are asking for the impossible.
But if you keep sincerely praying and reading the Bible, He will make Himself known to you. If you go to church and repent of your sins and be 'born again' you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
You have to seek diligently.

When you become saved and have developed a personal relationship with Him. Jesus reveals himself through others and circumstances in life that only He can do. You'll know it was Him because it usually comes in a specific detailed answer that only He and you knows about. He may choose for whatever reason not to answer you as well.
We are called to walk by Faith when it comes to this and not by sight. He is constantly growing us and forming us through our circumstances to be better Christians and people of Christ.
Forget religious people and rituals all that does not hold a candle to having this personal relationship with God.
I'm sure you have recieved a response..it just wasn't a response you wanted.

He is right where He said He was going when He left earth, heaven. He sent the Comforter, a.k.a. The Holy Spirit to teach us everything we need to know. Anybody who can't tell the difference between the god of Moses and the God of Jesus, has not learned a thing from Her. that is like calling evil good and vice versa. Not conducive to understanding the truth Jesus came to teach us. Be smart, learn the difference between good and evil.

Some Christians believe that if you have never been exposed to the Bible or Jesus then you are free from the responsibility of accepting him.
Maybe that freedom extends to people who have not been "properly" exposed, meaning no one has been able to convince them yet.

And who will reject Jesus the messiah but he who makes a fool of himself. Peace be upon him in this world, and in the next he will surely be among the righteous.
