Who is Jesus? And why should I bow down to him? WTF, I got this pamphlet left on my door knob today. Is this some sort of joke or a threat? Should I file a police report for this? It says if I don't bow down and praise "Jesus", then I will burn in the fires of hell.
I consider this a threat on my life, and am considering filing a police report. I am unsure of who left this note, but maybe they left finger prints.

Jesus is a dead man? Then how can he light me on fire?
I'll assume this pamphlet is a joke by some local roudy teens. Thanks all!

There is the fictional Bible character called Jesus who has been so heavily promoted as real for so many years that there are people who devote their lives to his fan club.

I'm a christian but I wouldn't have taken that approach. There was a man who had a daughter. The daughter was heading off to church during a winter storm and asked her dad if he would come. The dad said no because he didn't believe that God would come down in the form of a man. He did believe there was a higher power or God, but always thought, "Why would God become a man?" His daughter gave him a hug and after she left, the snow started coming down alot harder. Suddenly a huge flock of geese landed in his front yard. The man stood there for a moment in aww and knew they couldn't fly because of the storm, yet thought, they are going to freeze to death in the front yard. So, he having compassion went outside and tried to guide them into the barn. He tried and he tried yet with no prevail could get these geese in the barn. Suddenly when he was about to give up, a thought dawned on him. He had a goose, why not bring his goose out and allow him to walk back into the barn. Just maybe the other geese would follow. Sure enough as he brought his goose out and it ran and flew back into the barn, all the other geese followed. Another thought hit him and he got his answer. God became a man to show his children that he wasn't a general shouting orders from a thousand miles away, ready to hit you with a lightning bolt and send you to hell the first chance He got, but rather he was a Father guiding his children safely into the barn away from certain death. He is the captain that fights with you in the trenches and kneels with you in your tears. He is a friend, not an enemy. To walk up to someone and tell them that if they don't bow down to Jesus they will die and burn in hell forever is not showing God's love no matter how true it may be. The whole point of a heaven is that it is perfect peace, bliss and hope. Without pain, suffering or torment and in order for a heaven to be a heaven it has to be without sin. God will not allow sin into heaven and Jesus, being God as a human being is the only one that can take that sin away. Without Him we will not enter heaven and without you, I would have noone to take to heaven with me. I need both. Hope your mind is at ease. Take care.

wow chill out, it's a pamphlet. if you don't like what it says, throw it out with the trash. and it's not a threat on your life, it's a threat on your death, or eternal life, non-believers in jesus will burn in hell when they die. jesus was a guy who lived and was crucified 2000 years ago and changed the world completely. christians believe he is the son of God and will come to us again when the world ends, to the muslims he is a prophet of God.

JESUS CHRIST:The only-begotten Son of God, the only Son produced by Jehovah alone. this Son is the firstborn of all creation. by means of him all other things in heaven and on earth were created. He is the second-greatest personage in the universe. It is this Son whom Jehovah sent to the earth to give his life as a ransom for mankind, thus opening the way to eternal life for those of Adam's offspring who would exercise faith . this same Son, restored to heavenly glory, now rules as King, with authority to destroy all the wicked and to carry out his Father's original purpose for the earth. The Hebrew form of the name Jesus means "Jehovah Is salvation"; Christ is the equivalent of the Hebrew Ma.shi'ach (Messiah) meaning "Anointed One."

Get over it. Since you're so dead set against it, I'll tell you what you can do. Ball up the pamphlet, walk over to your garbage can, then throw it in. There, problem solved.

I believe the question should read, "Who was Jesus." The man has been dead for over 2000 years.

Wait until you are in some really bad sh&*. You will pray to Jesus and he will be there. Life and death kind of shi&*. Only then will you believe. Chances are, with your attitude, you will find out one day what I have told you. It will be no joke.
