Why should I worry about what some renegade Jewish carpenter/street philosopher said or did 2000 years ago?

No impact. It's his Fan Club that you have to worry about.

Because He loves you even when you turn away from Him.

When you know Him, you'll KNOW what impact He can have on you!

No one can answer this for you on a message board. You have to answer it for yourself. It's between you and Him!

Plenty of people on here to tell you what you should or should not believe and to criticize you no matter what you believe.

Things to consider:

All his 12 best friends were not too bold when Jesus walked among them... Even they didn't really "get it" then.

However, after Jesus rose from the dead...ALL of them and others were transformed into to preaching boldly even unto their death after that. Why? Because they had to have KNOWN then that He was God! They had SEEN Him raised from the dead and they had to have KNOWN everything He said was so after that. Read their stories. They were not naturally courageous men in the beginning.

Consider Saul/Paul's story. If Jesus was NOT God... A man such as he would NEVER have been transformed either! (It's in the book of Acts)

Plenty of evidence...

Why should you worry about what He said and did 2000 years ago? Ask Him yourself with a sincere heart. He'll answer, and it'll be more personal than on a message board.

Because He was God in the flesh and He came just for Y O U. He left heaven and came here just to die to pay for your sins. Nobody you have ever known or will ever know could ever LOVE you as much as Jesus. Greater love has no man than this - that he would lay down his life for another. I believe you know better than what you have said. I think if you search your heart you know He was MUCH MUCH MORE THAN JUST A CARPENTER.

Because that what the who Christian Faith stands for what you trying say you don't like the bible or you want to give rib of the bible what you won't every work in this country think again you better repent and if you thinking of murder Christians think again it won't work. You will be punshed in this state and every state and get the death penality so I would not try if I were you. Not only that then you be Judge by God almighty on Judgement Day.

households are made to help one yet another. helping your husband via doing chores at abode does not characterize slavery, in simple terms as him working exterior and protecting the family members does not characterize slavery. Marriage is a partnership. Its not, I take all of the reliable issues an stay something to the different one. Thats a recipe for catastrophe, and certainly divorce are becoming to be trouble-free place because of the expectancy of it. in case you notice the object, women human beings spend 7 hours extra, mutually as men in ordinary terms earnings a million extra hour. because of the fact of this a female is 7 situations extra exigent of what characterize a tidy abode. by means of this, is extra organic for women human beings to do the chores. in any different case, you will could desire to stay on the decrease expectancies human beings men :) and have not have been given any nagging rights.

If you take a bible (and you can buy one like this) and only read what Jesus said.. he was right on target.

I'm not even sure he lived. I don't believe in god.

But some of the words Jesus supposedly said bring tears to my eyes... because I know if we all lived like that... it would be close to heaven on earth.

EDIT: the response from christians here is why I am NOT one. so wrong!

Because what JESUS did back in the day, is important for everyone. He suffered on a cross for OUR sins. Jesus had no sin. Jesus was pure. But he willingly died on the cross for OUR SINS, in order for us to receive salvation.

If you don't even care about what happened back then, then your in for a rude awakening. Sorry to say that, but it's the truth. If you don't believe Jesus Christ died for our sins, and rose from the dead 3 days later, then you will not see eternal life in Heaven.

Just maybe he was right! anyway he laid down a good foundation for a pretty good way to live. even these days. and if he was so wrong why are people still talking about him 2000 yrs later?

Well, I can tell you this much, it will determine whether you are "HEAVEN-BOUND" or "HELL-BOUND". You have a decision to make young man......WAIT!....This carpenter was sent by God to this EARTH to save us and then he went on a hill called CALVARY, with thorns sticking out of his head, knife wounds in his side, beating, was made to carry his own cross, walking down a path to his own demise....AND then HUNG on a TREE BRANCH, that was made out of a "CROSS" and DIED for YOU and for ME....AND YOU ASK the QUESTION, why should you worry?....Well, you shouldn't worry anymore because he PAID the ultimate price and took the worries off of your SHOULDERS and PUT IT ON HIS OWN.....HE DID THIS SO.....YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY NO MORE MY FRIEND......OH I BLESS HIS HOLY NAME!....THANK YOU JESUS!

That capenter was the son of God, he died for you and me. so that we didnt have to go to hell, he is the same yesterday, today and tommorrow and he is giving you a chance to have eternal life. he was the ultimate sacrifice, he died for you despite all the times we would reject and spit and deny him. he loved us so much that eeventhough he knew that until today people would turn away and not believe and takee his death for granted, hee still chose to go through all that suffering. So that we would be saved and have eternal life. Its important that we learn to follow him and to live everyday like if it were our last. To follow his fathers word and to stay alert and to shun sin. For only through christ will we find the way to eternal life. Its important to recognize that we are sinners and to envite jesus into our lives. he is waiting for us to opeen up to him and to recognize that we are nothing without him.

You should worry because a bunch of people have taken his teachings - perverted them and now hold a chokehold on the minds of 2 billion people. Thats one third of the world. Scary.

Plus those people are nucking futs and will convert you to Christianity no matter what you do
