    "Is Jesus THE Christ?"

    Is Jesus THE Christ, the promised Messiah, the Holy One foretold in Scripture?

    What do you think?

    READ ISAIAH 53 ...the whole chapter, and you tell me who it is describing (written 100's of years before his birth.)

    Yes, he fullfilled all the phophecy of the OT. Name another that has affected history and lifestyles as much as the Lord Jesus Christ.

    I believe that God sent His Son to incarnate on this earth for a reason.
    His Son was born and became the Son of man. His name was Jesus.

    The Jews do not accept that Jesus was the Messiah.
    They cite Biblical prophesy that was not fulfilled that described who the Messiah would be.
    These are God's chosen people saying that, despite what they heard from Jesus or what He did.

    By his teachings and actions there is no doubt in my mind that He was the Son of God incarnate.

    Yes, Jesus THE Christ, the promised Messiah, the Holy One foretold in Scripture.

    Jesus is the one who saved me and gives me eternal life and I thank Him and give Him all my praise.

    Maybe. The evidence is weak, mostly only what is recorded in the New Testament which might be a work of fiction, no Roman or Jewish record of his execution but I don't doubt the Romans executed a bunch of Jews like Jesus. That Jesus, if he was executed by the Jews/Romans, rose from the dead, again no Jewish or Roman record of that event. The only people to record the miraculous resurrection are a few of his Apostles who would benefit from the belief that their leader was such as the true Christ.

    Maybe, a few billion people believe that their salvation depends on believing it. Of course more people don't believe it than do believe it.

    Wrong. A guy named Josephus was a Jewish historian in that period who was well respected by the Romans. He mentions the crucifixion of Jesus and the rapid growth of His followers.

    Josephus was not even born yet when Jesus (if he was crucified) was crucified.

    Ah, yes. Now you've caught me out on a limb haven't you?

    But, on the other hand ol' Joe was born and grew up in the same area so he not only would have known the stories but at least a few living witnesses. And he was in the Messadda fight in 70 AD. So I, for one, suspect he's probably worth listening to!

    Just have to wonder, is it your position that only the accounts of historians who directly witnessed something should or could be trusted?

    There's a thousand times more evidence of the Jewish Jesus than there is of the Greek Homer but "intellectuals think" (?) Homer was real but Jesus is not.

    Some intellectuals are quite smart and know Jesus was and is but most are mushroom dumm people who preach that He was not. They "prove" it by citing how many other dummies like themselves agree!

    Spiritually blind people only prove to each other that there are none so blind as those who refuse to see!

    Without question:

    "Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Mark 16:13-16

    I became a Christian in 1970 at age 28. I was a young lawyer at the time. Before I could proceed with life, I had to find the answer to two questions;

    1. Did Jesus really live?
    2. Are the New Testament documents a reliable account of his life, teaching and death?

    In order to answer these questions, I left the practice of law and entered a three year graduate course of study at Asbury Seminary. My legal education had prepared me to do research and I spent every spare hour my first year in the library seeking the answer to my question. I found the answers and the answers were both a resounding yes!

    You were not born when Lincoln was killed, but I bet you know the story pretty well. The life and death of Abraham Lincoln fundamentally change the history of the country. The life and death of Jesus transformed the Roman Empire and eventually the history of the entire world.
