Regardless of if you were to agree or disagree with Jesus Christ, would you still acknowledge that he was a real person that existed on Earth? I know some argue there’s not enough evidence to support he was actually here? I suppose that’s why they call it “Faith”? What’s your opinion? Do you have any personal true facts or figures that could prove or disprove Jesus Christ?
The debate would make more sense if the options were like:
Yes, he was a real person but not divine
No, he never walked on earth.
Yes, he was a real person and divine.
Yes, he walked on earth, he was divine, but not the son of God (the only conflict in belief Muslims have with Christians)
My answer is the fourth answer
Yes, I believe Yeshua of Nazareth, or Jesus, existed. That is a separate questions to whether he is divine or whether he performed any miracles.
I do also consider myself a follower of Christ and a Quaker. But I do not speak for all Quakers, and I am also nontrinitarian (or semi-trinitarian, my interpretation is different) which puts me at odds with other Christians.
But to my knowledge I believe he had people writing within 50 years of his death about what had occurred. If you think about it, Jesus was a commoner. It wasn't like he was a prince who would show up in history otherwise.
Even if Jesus Christ flew through my roof and told me Heaven was real and I needed to repent I would still not be a Christian. I refuse to follow the Christian god.
Why would I worship someone who sends people to suffer for all eternity just because they don't believe he's real? Why would I worship someone who purposefully and knowingly sent all of his creations to a planet where they'll suffer from things like rape, abuse, poverty, and so much more? I don't care if I'm sent to hell, I will never love a god like that.
you believe he did all that, you believe in that side of the story. What I don't understand is why you didn't mention God's enemy he's the one who tricks people like you into believing what you believe. Ever think of that? Also besides all that I have a question, do you believe in God?
If God is all powerful and all knowing, he can get rid of Satan easily, but he chooses not to. He chooses to let his creations suffer in the name of "testing their love". Satan doesn't have to tell me whats obvious. I neither believe in nor don't believe in God. Either way, I don't like him. You can believe in him if you want to, but in my humble opinion, God is a jealous asshole who is perfectly okay with allowing his children to suffer. But of course, it's okay, because he "loves me and forgives me".
The one thing I dislike about chrisrian churches is it tries to portray God as too loving and forgiving. He's clearly a God that wants you to fear him. It doesn't mean he isnt real. But they put off a lot of ppl by saying he's all sunshine and rainbows, and then those ppl finally pick up a bible and think "wtf". The christian God is not what they portray. They should be real about it.
Of course. He was on the fucking roman census. Cant get more real as a person than to have your tax information accounted for.
Now for his miracles and teachings all I can say is that those lessons were good. Helped people kick the habit of slavery... eventually. Because theres no pragmatic reason to end slavery. It's just moral to accept every human life as being an equal.
You can be moral but not religious. I carry myself as such.
I'm hedging my bets on the identity of god. Playing by the golden rule and cross my fingers that heaven or reincarnation await when I die.
For the religious aspect of jesus? I'd say there was too much use of lead as cooking and drinking vessels. But for all the religions that came out of the middle east. Christianity is the better one.
