Jesus, our Messiah, is not alleged, He is real because Josephus the Jewish historian wrote about Him and the Crucifixion. His wonderful love is recorded in the New Testament and prophecy concerning Him is in the Old Testament. Even if you were right, which you aren't, by faith I have a life that is remarkable. Blessings beyond measure and a joy that can't be expressed. Best of all, when I stand before Him in all His glory, I can honestly say I did the very best I could during my life and I have nothing to be ashamed of. What do I have to lose by being a Christian? The torments of eternal separation from God.

You can believe any thing that you desire, even that Christians are wrong about the Messiah. I do not know where you get the idea that us Christians are wrong, unless you are referring to the fact that Christ has not yet raptured the Church. It shows how little you know about the Holy Bible.For it clearly teaches us that we are to live by faith; not by sight. And I truly know that the Messiah lives, and that He is returning soon for his people. One reason I know is that I do a lot of studying in the Word of God, and another reason, is because He has personally told me that He is going to return soon; very soon. I'd sure hate to be in your position when He returns. All I can say to the other Christians on the system, is to hold on, and don't give up. For Jesus is coming soon; very soon!

Ah, yes. And you know they have been wrong because.
A. It's silly.
B. Cause I say so.
C. God told me so.
D. I don't have to know what I'm talking about.
E. The radical Christian right is trying to persecute me again.
The tax thing, who cares. Religion will exist with or without a tax exemption and if the goverment does tax religion and takes in billions of additional dollars, your life won't improve one bit.

A Church is a Non Profit Organization and supported by its Members not Our Government. And FYI How have Christians been wrong about the Messiah Coming. No-One knows when he is coming and if you do not believe in him, I would certainly be worried..

What in the world are you talking about? I'm a Christian paralegal for a tax attorney. I collect taxes from people who refuse to pay.
And what makes you so sure that I'm wrong for believing in Jesus Christ?

I'm a Christian. The Bible in the writings of the Apostle Paul says to obey the laws of the land. Even Jesus said to give to Ceasar, the things of Ceasar, and to God, the things of God.
Jesus disciples, during his earthly ministry, pay their taxes as well. Peter was told by Jesus, where he could go, and cath a fish, and within it, he would find some money to pay the Roman taxes.

You might want to do a research on fulfilled Bible Prophecy and history and the Bible and archeology and the Bible.
The government sets the guide lines for tax exempt.

non payment of taxes? As far as I know, Jesus said to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's. He never said not to pay your taxes.

What is your logic? Oh, none, that's right. Non-profit means tax exempt. That works for all sorts of non-profits organizations.
By the way, we are not wrong. Jesus lives. I pray you come to know that before you stand before His throne.
