Why do you believe Jesus was divine?
When nowhere in the bible teaches that Jesus was divine in any way.Jesus, in his preaching, continually spoke of God.The word was always in his mouth. We ask, does he by this word ever mean himself? We say, never. On the contrary, he most plainly distinguishes between God and himself, and so do his disciples.The doctrine of three persons in God is fiction.
Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” (Mark 11:12-14, NIV)
As a result, the tree withered from the roots (v. 20). Now, a few things are clear from this episode.
1. Jesus did not know the tree had no fruit until he went up to the tree and found nothing but leaves.
2. When Jesus saw leaves from a distance he hoped to find fruit on the tree.
3. It was not fig season, and this is why the tree had no figs.This comment from Mark clearly, implies that it was a perfectly good tree. If the tree was barren, Mark’s comment about the season would have been pointless and misleading.
4. Jesus did not know it was not fig season. If he had known this,he would not have expected the tree to have fruit, and he would not have cursed the tree for having no fruit.Sometimes he acts as a human and sometimes he acts as God.Jesus was not perfect man and perfect God at the same time.This is impossible to say the least.
IRev. Albert Einstein, You said jesus said he was god,and your other quotes are merely suggestive.
Josia,Read the above details It's the same thing You said jesus said he was god.
MUDARTHA I don't even know you and you call me friend why? The Gospel of John literally means According to John and it was his account of some of the actions and sayings of a man named jesus and it was written at the very least 50 years after that mans death.It's been said that Jesus performed miracles in front of thousands of people while he was alive and yet know one wrote about him or his miracles while he was alive.What's really dangerous is your belief in one mans 2000 year old Accordance.

Cause he hadn't been to this planet before and when he was hungry he ran up to the tree and when it there was no fruit he yelled god damn it and god heard him and did. LOL it just cracks me up to picture this whole scenario and think that anyone actually cares about these little anecdotes about Jesus eating figs. I know I know I totaly ignored the point that's my point...try to get the message without getting bogged down in pointless details.You either follow the message or you don't.I don't.

Friend, half knowledge is dangerous. You read john's Gospel 3:16 "God so loved the world..." Also read Isiah 7:14
As for the fig tree, This type of fig tree in Israel produced fruits before or at the same time the leaves came out. If the tree were good, there should be figs with the leaves. The fuller meaning of Jesus' statement has two points to consider (1) The fig tree symbolizes Israel (Hosea 9:10; Joel 1:7) The curse is directed to the Jews who are full of leaves, but no fruit. (2) To His disciples and to us that if we have faith greater things like asking the mountain to be removed and cast into the sea can be achieved. If we believe and pray we shall receive Read Mathew 21: 18-22
May God Bless you

Friend, if you read about the life of Jesus, you've got four choices He was either a liar, a lunatic, the devil, or God almighty Himself!
Jesus accepted worship, forgave sins, had authority over the Jewish Scriptures and Temple, claimed equality with God the Father, claimed to be the Universal Judge, Virgin Birth, performed miralces, and Resurrected from the Dead!
Jesus united to Himself a true human nature, the reason why he slept, ate, wept, prayed, etc.
Jesus is our Divine Lord and Savior! God bless you! ;-)

WRONG....Jesus said He WAS God......
John 10:33
"We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."
If you look at this scripture in context. The jews understood His claim that He was God....and no where does He correct them.
Also John 10:30....Jesus states that "I and the Father are one."
And finally John 8:58 states, "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" In this passage Jesus uses the same name that God identified Himself to Moses in the Old Testament...."I AM". The jews understood exactly what He was saying....that is why they tried to stone Him.

I still want to know how a female virgin, produced a male child. Ok, the first miracle could have been her getting pregnant, but then wouldn't that make a male child the second miracle? Where did the extra chromosome come from?
Also, if it was possible to get pregnant while still a virgin, doesn't that mean that abstinence really isn't 100% effective?

I consider him to be a Bodhisattva, but not the savior. There really is no savior imo.
