Who was Jesus...?

Question

With Tact, would you please explain to me who Jesus was?

Answer 1

Jesus is my best friend, he wanted everyone to know of his Father's love. He was called a liar by many, he was beaten beyond recognition, his body was wounded for me. He was put on a cross, with nails driven into his hands and feet. He died for me. My best friend died for me. But three days later "HE AROSE, HE AROSE Hallelujah Christ AROSE".
He is now living in Heaven with God the Father, and he is still my Best Friend.
Who is Jesus to you?

Answer 2

Most likely Jesus was a real historical person.

After that, it is up for grabs.

He was born into a very tense and turbulent time when the Romans were occupying Judea, and the Maccabees were the insurgents.

It was also a "Messianic" time when there was a desperate search for a Jewish leader to solve the horrible dilemma of God's Chosen People being so rudely dominated.

Messiah then meant a military deliverer, as well as the Keeper of the Sabbath.

His uncle, John, was a religious fanatic who believed that dunking people in water would lead their "Souls" to God.

This idea of a separate "Soul" was a fairly new and controversial thought in Hebrew theology and and was not to be found in the Hebrew Bible.

His life, for reasons unknown, has been virtually stripped bare to portray an illiterate, sexless, itinerant Rabbi, who traveled about with his set of idealist followers including his probable common law wife, or girl friend, Mary Magdalene.

He become prominent enough to catch the attentions of the Romans, and that spelled his doom.

Judas Iscariot has been portrayed as betraying him, but there was a practice in those days when you know that you were going to be arrested to have your best friend turn you in, so that no complications arose. The pay for this was thirty pieces of silver.

Unffortunately, things went very badly, and he was sentenced to be crucified, almost certain death.

He was crucified, unfortunately on some sort of Roman holiday, so he was up there longer than he should have been.

He was most likely taken down barely alive and moved to a safe place to try and recover.

Here his story ends. We do not know for sure if he died then, or recovered and moved away.

In any case Mythology takes up the story from here, and in time, a new religion is born.

Answer 3

Love, the man who came to be called Jesus was a Jewish man of a rural background who walked the roads of a backwater of the Roman Empire in the First Century. In height he was short, he was dark-skinned, he had black hair and a beard, and hands that were made rough by his years as a carpenter. It seems he had a gift for gathering men to follow him, who became his 'disciples,' and he preached pretty much the precepts of the Judaism of his time. Much of what he preached was, and still is, from Jewish traditions, rabbinical thought, and words and even phrases from earlier religions. He may have been involved to some measure in ongoing Jewish rebellion against Roman oppression. The Romans nailed him to a wooden pole...he was 33, unmarried, middle-aged for his time...and there he died a painful death. After his death, his followers chose to carry on his quest and gave birth to a Jewish sect composed of his teachings. Three centuries later, this sect, by now opened to non-Jews, was, for reasons of his own which were not necessarily 'Christ-like,' chosen by Roman Emperor Constantine, an out-and-out wacko, as the state religion. And so began to path toward the broadly sanitized Christianity of today.

Answer 5

Jesus, from different angles of time was also percived as Buddah, Mohammad and many other "religious leaders"; this was not the intent, to creat "Religion".

Jesus represents Truth. Jesus did not intend to be represented as "savior" nor did he intend on a religions being formed in his name.

Jesus was about self investigation of Truth, yet his words were distorted, twisted for political gain and so on, yet, some of his word still leaked out as truth in reality.

Do read Jane Roberts, seth speaks and Edgar Cayce.

Answer 6

Jesus is a Demigod.
He was half human and he was half God (like Hercules I think).
He is Lord and Son of God in Christian belief.
Some Christian sects/denominations believe that the trinity sees Jesus as not 3 in 1, they see 3 in 3 people.
Jesus was also a prophet, and he is a Messiah.

Answer 7

Sure! Jesus was the Son of God. Jesus is God. He is part of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. Jesus took on the limitations of man and came to earth to be among us. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Jesus was at the beginning of time and is eternal. He was a rabbi, a friend, a son, a brother, a carpenter, a student..... He was/is our Savior. He came that we might have Life!

Answer 8

Jesus was God's replacement for Adam, who willingly served as a ransom to rescue mankind from the curse of death.

"Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." ~ John 1:29

Exo 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Joh 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jesus was Jehovah in the Flesh!

Answer 10

We deserved hell for our sinful ways. Because God is a completely just God, to save us, He chose to come to earth in the human form of Jesus, who we call God's Son, to pay for our sins (die a horrible death), so that we can have eternal life. You would do the same thing to protect your child. That's what God did for us. That's how much God loves you.
