So happy to see this in the positives. Sin has lost its power, death has lost its sting.

Didn't exist, yet still has millions of blind believing he did.

...you're a fucking idiot. Even the most profound atheists know that Jesus Christ existed, just as even the most dumb schoolchildren know that Julius Caesar existed.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

excuse me, poorly worded. he did not exist as the man the bible said he was. also, people think julius caesar didn't exist?

Someone in my western civilization class thought that Julius Caesar was Greek.

Sure, there could have been a man from Nazareth who was crucified by the Romans and started Christianity, but there isn't any proof of him being any more holy than your average guy, or bearing of any other such traits.

I think he was pretty holy. I mean, they put nails in his hands and feet.

A sinless man was persecuted and kill with no rebellion. Only a holy person would do that.

Read Josephus, a historian of the time who says there is a man named Jesus who is doing wonderous things. That and the Bible (along with ther writings and archeological proof) is as much proof as we have for anything we haven't personally witnessed. According to your argument, we can't prove polio actually existed - we can read about it but we didn't see it ourselves.

So basically, he made people feel subordinate by calling him "master," he posed as a teacher and doctor without any qualifications (both of which are crimes), instilled fear upon people, took over the world (with the help of violent acts by his followers), and was murdered. Oh, and now he continues to haunt.

What? As I just showed, any statement can be flipped to make it say what you want. One could write something to romanticize the Holocaust, but that certainly doesn't make it the greatest event in history.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But the difference is most people are in agreement that the holocaust WAS in fact worse than the existence of Jesus Christ.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Hmm, that's debatable. The Holocaust was, in a way, caused by the existence of Jesus Christ. If Christianity hadn't evolved out of Judaism and the majority of the population was Jewish in Hitler's day, then Jews would not have been persecuted. But there are far too many "what if's" to use that as evidence. However, I would still contend that the total acts inspired by the existence of Yeshua ben Yosef were more detrimental to humanity than the total acts inspired by the existence of Adolf Hitler. Strictly statistically, the answer is pretty obvious. Jesus has had billions of followers for thousands of years, many of which carried out violent acts . Hitler had millions of followers for decades, many of which carried out violent acts.

So you just blame Jesus for the actions of people who warped his message? Great, you think people don't have responsibility for their own actions. Yes, don't hold criminals responsible, just cut all the murderers and rapist loose. Oh wait. They already did that and crime has risen to historic levels.

They called Jesus Master because He is God. He didn't pose as a teacher or doctor, He //was// a teacher and doctor who taught people about God's love and healed them from sicknesses. Clearly He's a horrible criminal. Moving on, those who feared Him did so because they knew He had the power of God. As for "taking over the world with violent acts from his followers", I don't recall Jesus ever saying, "Go and kill others so that I make take control of everything". Disregard those who actually kill in the name of God, they have very much mistaken what God wants from them. I think the only thing you got right is that He was murdered, but even that Jesus knew had to happen for a very important reason. Just because you can say, "Hitler was an excellent visionary with a strong determination" it doesn't change the truth of what he actually did. You can make Jesus sound like an awful villain, but it doesn't change that He was and still is our loving God.

Since the idea that Jesus may have been a messiah did not become widespread for hundreds of years after his death, it's clear the term "master" was simply one of general respect. Similarly, the Roman Empire did not fear him because they believed he was God -- they perceived his gathering of followers as a potential uprising and thus treated him like they did other suspected usurpers. As for "taking over the world," Jesus did nothing of the sort. He had a few thousand followers at the time of his death, but that figure is inconsequential when compared to the total population of the Middle East, let alone the Empire. Thus, it took the work of his followers (via crusades, conquests, wars, massacres) to make Christianity the most prevalent religion in the world today. If you're looking for evidence of Jesus/God commanding these acts, look no further than the Bible. It is loaded with God's murderous ways. Anyway, I was simply making a joke with my original comment. Adieu.

I could keep this debate going by pointing out all of the errors in that comment, but it's clear that you want to end it here, why is fine with me. Peace, and remember that God loves you.

You didn't flip a statement to make it seem like something else. It doesn't seem like anything but a lie, because that's what you just did. You just posted blatant lies that aren't based on anything except your your own mind. So no, you didn't illustrate anything except for once again you have NO knowledge about what you are saying.

by Anonymous 3 years ago

He didn't make anyone call him anything. Why don't you stop being ignorant and making ridiculous comments before you do some reading, instead of just making stuff up that wasn't in the actual post or in the scriptures. If you read a bit more you won't embarrass yourself like this.

I really don't like this post In my world Jesus is not the greatest man to ever live. Yes he did live and he did get crucified but I don't believe he healed people and he didn't concur the world, He is know all over but his beliefs don't stand everywhere there are many other religions that take place in the world. I am the type of person that doesn't care what people believe in as long as I don't feel forced to follow or be told that my beliefs are wrong. I respect your beliefs but this posts make me feel as though that is what happen/what it is and there can be nothing else
