Can you believe that the teachings of Jesus are true, follow them, but not be certain He was "from God?"?

Jesus claimed to be the Son of God.

Jesus said "I am Truth." Was Jesus telling the truth when He said that? Or was He a liar?

Furthermore, He said that the only way you can know God is through Him.

Jesus said there is none good but God, then He told someone that He is the Good Shepherd, claiming to be good!

Jesus said that He did ONLY what He saw His Father in heaven do. (No man has seen God at any time, yet Jesus SEES God and copies His behaviors, so Jesus must be something MORE than a mere man, since no MAN has seen God.) He KNEW God. He even said that He came from the very HEART of God, so He could say objectively, "When you've seen ME, you've seen the Father."

Jesus said "I am Life", and again, "I am the bread of Life that has come down from My Father in heaven to give Life.", and again, "I am the water of life. Whoever is thirsty, come to me, and out of his inner-most being shall flow rivers of living waters", and finally, "I am the Resurrection and the Life. If any man believe in me, though he may die, yet shall he live again."

He said, "When you've seen me, you've seen the Father."

He said, "You already believe in God, now believe in me."

Jesus prayed, “Father, I have glorified your name here on earth, now I ask that you would give me back the glory I had with you before the world was ever created.”

But these are just words.

Jesus said that if you REALLY want to know if His teachings were that of a mere man, or from God (implying the existence of said God), then "OBEY THESE COMMANDS, and you SHALL know (one way OR the other)" (Referring to the Sermon on the Mount, beginning in the 5th chapter of the gospel according to Matthew)

These words don't prove that these words are true; all they do is expose you for the hypocrite you really are, because you really don't WANT Truth! You're afraid to even take His challenge!

This is a "litmus" test that Jesus gave, and He said nothing at all about having faith or believing. If you want to know if Jesus really IS the Son of God (the God who is there), (er – DO you really want to know?) then read and obey the Sermon on the Mount.

If Jesus never existed, then nothing will happen. Are you absolutely certain that God is not there? Then take the challenge - if you dare!

If Jesus was a liar, then nothing will happen. Are you absolutely certain that Jesus was NOT the Son of God as He claimed? Then take the challenge - if you dare!

If Jesus was a lunatic, then nothing will happen. Again, prove what you claim by taking the challenge Jesus gave - IF YOU DARE!

If the Bible is nothing more than the writings of some crazy bronze-aged, goat-herding cave men as the atheist mockers keep insisting, then nothing at all will happen. That's the claim of most atheists here in R & S, but they refuse to PROVE that they really believe it! They don't really believe what they claim! If YOU believe what you claim to believe, then PROVE it and take His challenge - IF . YOU . DARE !

For anyone who flat out rejects this test, I have to remind them of some other words Jesus said. Jesus said that the reason people reject God is “because they are evil (their deeds are evil), and they love darkness (i.e. they love their sins and immorality), and they hate the light (i.e. they hate Truth)!” I can only conclude that they are in an ever increasing line of hypocrites who talk a good talk, but don't really mean a thing they say, and that the only reason they don't believe in God is because they don't WANT to believe in God, and for no other reason; and their theme song is "Don't confuse me with Truth; my mind's already made up!"

In his famous book “Mere Christianity”, C. S. Lewis makes the following observation: "A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on the level with a man who says he is a poached egg - or he would be the devil of hell. You must take your choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God, or else a mad man or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us."

Jesus never existed he was stolen from Horus of Egypt, who born of a virgin, was crucified and rose again, had 12 disciples, gave a sermon on the mount raised people from the dead was baptized by Anup the Baptiser.etc

The following articles provide proof that everything in the Christian religion and in the bible has been STOLEN from other religions that predated it from all around the world. Christianity is a tool for removing spiritual/occult knowledge from the populace so this power can be kept in the hands of a few to manipulate and enslave the masses.

To really understand the Bible and see the truth, one must be very well educated in the occult. The mass mind is very powerful. When one studies long enough and acquires advanced knowledge of the occult, the truth is utterly shocking. The entire Judeo/Christian Bible is a hoax of catastrophic proportions with a very clear objective using subliminal means and the channeled psychic energy of believers.

Jesus is from God, Jesus is the Son of God but also is God. Yes I believe in Jesus teachings and follow them. I screw up at times but I'd rather follow Jesus than satan

I think that Jesus was a great humanitarian philosopher. He expressed a lot of good ideas.

I don't believe in God.

I doubt that Jesus was quoted exactly all the time. There were no voice recording devices back then and there were a lot of people very excited about his teachings. The old he-was-the-son-of-God-or-he-was-a-liar is a false dichotomy. He was misquoted is the other choice.

Of course. The gospels were books written by people who believed Jesus was from God. They had no reaosn to be objective, so they put their ideas in as facts. If you don't believe them, you have no reason to.

Also, I wonder if "no1home" has ever tried living as a Muslim or a Hindu "just to see" if those are the right religions. So many Christians seem to think theirs is the only viable religion...

David McCandless did no longer arise with that. I even have heard/study that numerous situations earlier, very very nearly notice for notice. while that fact become below communicate on a radio software that I heard, it become claimed that with a view to be sure if a non secular team must be seen "Christian," then they ought to stay with the common doctrines of the Church of the final 1700 years or so. In different words, the traditions of Catholicism and Protestantism become the benchmark. I disagree with that. Christians carry on with Jesus Christ and the Bible. Church custom must be understood in gentle of the Bible, no longer any incorrect way around. If Church custom contradicts the Bible, that custom must be discarded, such because of the fact the Trinity.

This scenario is the sea of doubt, which is a dead end. The remedy is to simply know that God revealed Christ through Jesus, and that the ball is in your court .....

Yes

i believe in the teachings of jesus, but not that he is god or son of god. Here is a debate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPRcySFenL4

Except for the part where it is nothing but common sense/copy paste from the Greek philosophers.
