I really believe that is at the core of many rationalizations.

People may reject Jesus because, lately, people are trying not to be mainstream. The modern Popular Jesus represents an antiquated system of belief that most modern people have a hard time following. Soldiers are dying all of the time so that we may live, yet there is no glory in death anymore.
Jesus was a great figure in history that only lost his temper a few times, didn't lie, cheat or steal. He associated with prostitutes, had a following of 12 guys that didn't apparently have jobs, but Jesus was a good communicator when it came to getting his point across. The way the church is portraying Him is more in line to the Polytheistic religions touting the ancient ones such as Zeus. Humanity has grown but the perception of religion has not.
Jesus was a great man. People tend to not see what he represents anymore, just that He was a great man.

The truth of the matter is Jesus is not of this world or its ways, as we live in the ways of the world we find this out as Jesus gives
direction in our lives but we choose to follow our own paths because it pleases the
flesh.
In a birds eye view, all things have an end and Jesus knows this and we find it hard to admit but even though we reject him and his ways he does not reject us, because he loved us first.
It may seem that many rejected Christ but sometime down the road before judgment Jesus will be there for them that believe even though we all fall short.

Yes. True and Scriptural. The Lord is light. Coming to the light makes our sins and sin condition manifest. Love is very corrective; but the love most say God should have is mush. In reality it is a demand for benign acceptance of personal proclivities.
Most want to read John 3:16; for God so loved the world... but Never John 3:19.. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.*
*Applies to seat warmers on pews, bar stools, and political, social and academic platforms; from all major religions down to all cult and alternative religions up. For God is no respecter of persons. Fear God and work righteousness. God will take care of the doctrine. Acts 10:34,35.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. I am not able to understand the christians are going on preaching that if you dont beleive in Jesus you are a sinner, he is son of god etc.
OK.
Who is stopping you from beleiving your god. Go ahead. At the same time let the others beleive and worship their gods. The is no need, there is no point in going on canvassing.
I dont know about you, but you are certainly wasting others time.

The bible tells us that people reject Jesus because they are in sin. The sinful nature keeps them from believing. The ones who do believe have been called by the Holy Spirit to repentance.

it was only the religious people of that time that rejected him, and still do so today.sin is nothing else than to let the children of God stumble. sin is only bad things that a person do unto himself and another, and mostly it is to traumatize people to tell them that they will goto hell if they dont pay large amounts of money to the church.Give and you shall recieve means that if you give love you shall recieve love. not give money and you shall recieve money. our planet is in dire straits because of that believe..the more money the poor give to the rich, the more the rich waste it and the poor gets nowhere then they pray, then they start to lose faith, because the lord satan god of the church has all intention to let Gods people to stray away from him. the reason?God will never give up on humanity. God will never let any human being be casted into hell.The devil knows it and for the devil to burn in hell ,all people must be saved first. and the devil will never give up. that is why he is blinding the christians. and it start to look like Jesus death was in vain. but God is stronger, and even if it takes another trillion years ,the devil will be defeated.it is written. all we must do is to listen to the holy spirit

People reject the Buddha, so that they don't have to realize their capability for oneness.
People reject Allah so they don't have to recognize their allegiance to Him.
You can fill in the deity of your choice here. The point is, if someone doesn't accept an idea, it's not simply so that they don't have to "realize the truth". They have thought about it and decided it is not their path. Only when we realize that other people are capable of drawing conclusions that disagree with our own, not because they "refuse to believe the truth", but because they have thought about and rejected the idea, can we begin to have meaningful dialogues with others.

People reject Jesus because they are in denial of their sin, and/or they do not think that Jesus can save them, or- they think that they are good enough to get to heaven. They may think there is NO GOD to keep them accountable, however, there is- People are held accountable by God even if they don't think they are. And one day everyone will know that. Pray that it is before it is too late.
'ONE DAY EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS, THAT JESUS IS LORD TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER".
For the two people who said that divorce rate is just as high for Christians than for non-Christians, that is a sad state of affairs. However, I have to say that that does not negate the truth about Jesus- Christians are still people, who sin, however, I pray I sin less and less. I did not reject Jesus, because I know without Him life is HELL!!!!

Yes, but few know that. The devil encourages them to believe it is all just myth and they dont have to give up how they live. I believe all KNOW on some level, as God says He gives us all a measure of faith, so I believe they all KNOW, but most dont want to know as they do NOT want to give up all their sins. They fear they cant or just dont want to. Fear is of the devil, as God never gives us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of HOPE, in the Lord Jesus. there are many reasons reject Jesus, but it all boils down to this same issue, FEAR. devil brings it on and they allow him to run with it.
Pride is there and just thinking they dont want to be accountible to anyone So, pride, fear... and I could go on, still boils down to tho them not wanting to live life any differently than they are now ALl we can do is live truth, speak truth, and pray many more will receive. Praise God, continue to pray, and dont give up.

Only Christians believe that. It is a safety net for them that keeps you with them. They want you to believe that if you aren't one of them you are a lousy, sinful human being, with no morals. This is all false. I grew up in church, I worked in the church, I know how it works. All of us are sinners, and just because we don't go to church or question the supernaturality of Jesus doesn't mean we kill people, cheat, lie or steal. It just means we don't go to church and aren't sure about Jesus.
