Isn't it true that if Jesus were preaching today, the majority of the world would still reject him?

Question

Whatever miracle he produced, people would react in the same manner they did 2000 or so years ago.

Jesus brought people back from the dead yet they still shunned him.

Answer 1

Yes and his life would end violently again. I'm convinced a religious extremist would take his life all in the name of God.

Answer 2

Makes you wonder why they shunned him when he was performing miracles.

I don't know about the majority of the world

Yes, the majority of the US would reject him, but not for the reasons most ppl think.

Answer 3

If I saw Jesus on the street, I would yell at him to get a hair cut you long hair hippie.

If I saw someone who brought people back from the dead, I would think he is working for Satan.

I think I have a place reserve in Heaven for me. It's a seat on a log ride going to hell.

Answer 4

Yep. We know that the Lord is coming but he will be here to take us at the end. In a way, we have it better today than when Christ was an earthly being. We know there is only one God and to serve one God. It would have been extremely hard to know what to do with your religious beliefs back then. Now, we know He is in our hearts and that He is not God and all goes through God. What do you think?

Answer 5

Not only that. He came in and told the established religion of the time that they were totally screwing everything up. His ideas were radical and new to these people, and I think that's the biggest reason why they rejected him. I don't think Jesus would agree with where Christianity is at today and I don't think he'd be shy in telling us. We'd reject him all over again.

Answer 6

JESUS is still preaching today through the HOLY SPIRIT and he is still being rejected, today. But, He is still performing miracles everyday. He gives SALVATION and revives people from the dead; that's called BORN AGAIN in the HOLY SPIRIT. ( Romans 8:11 - If, now, the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in YOU, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also make YOUR mortal bodies alive through his spirit that resides in YOU. )
GOD BLESS! AMEN! SHALOM!

Answer 7

Yes he would be treated the same way. Look at the way the followers of Christ are treated today. Some are beheaded some are stoned and some are treated in much of the same fashion as the disciples was treated then and even Christ.

Answer 8

You mean like the televangelists? Preaching like them? Would Jesus wear a Rolex on his TV show? Would he be political?

To answer your question; no, I don't think people would listen to him but not for the reason you mean.

Answer 9

Jesus is a fictional character, simply one in a long line of fictional god-men. Most of Jesus' attributes and teachings were "borrowed" from older myths and philosophies.

Did a historical Jesus exist?
http://www.nobeliefs.com/exist.htm

ALL CLAIMS OF JESUS DERIVE FROM HEARSAY ACCOUNTS

No one has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Jesus; no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Jesus derive from writings of other people. There occurs no contemporary Roman record that shows Pontius Pilate executing a man named Jesus. Devastating to historians, there occurs not a single contemporary writing that mentions Jesus. All documents about Jesus got written well after the life of the alleged Jesus from either: unknown authors, people who had never met an earthly Jesus, or from fraudulent, mythical or allegorical writings. Although one can argue that many of these writings come from fraud or interpolations, I will use the information and dates to show that even if these sources did not come from interpolations, they could still not serve as reliable evidence for a historical Jesus, simply because all sources derive from hearsay accounts.

Hearsay means information derived from other people rather than on a witness' own knowledge.

Courts of law do not generally allow hearsay as testimony, and nor does honest modern scholarship. Hearsay provides no proof or good evidence, and therefore, we should dismiss it.

Answer 10

They would "crucify" him again , but not before they examined his brain. I think the worst haters would be the extreme Christians who are judging on everybody who doesn't fit in their world view.....
