Okay i have to say this:

If we are all gods children, jesus isnt that special (IMO)
Yes he was gods son, but i believe he was more of a messanger, rather than someone to be worshiped.

He was an AMAZING person and we should appriciate & admire that, but not worshiped.

I dont believe in hell.

Also, this type of thread causes ALOT of fights just a warning.. so billy GET READY xD

hmm..Jesus isnt that special? He died on the cross for our sins, I think he's more than special, He's amazing.

I totally agree. He is the perfect lamb and He is just amazing as you said =)

I dont understand how people say he died for our sins.
He died because he was ordered to die.

God the father sacrificed His only son, Jesus, to die for our sins. Jesus willingly died for us because of His amazing love for us.

Not meaning to invade but...

Can someone please explain this Jesus thing to me? I mean, not that I believe in it, but so that I can see your point of view?

 

[llamasrcool]

What would you like to know exactly?

[AmandaSparks730]

Like...his story, I guess? I only know what I learn in school (in like, history class) but not the, I guess you'd call it Biblistic version?

Jesus was prophesized in the Old Testament, written a long time before Jesus's birth. He will be born to a virgin, it was said.

Mary had an angel appear to her one day. Gabriel was his name. Gabriel said that she would be having the Father's baby. (Jesus.) Mary was an unmarried woman, and a virgin. She was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter. When Joseph found out, he didn't really believe it. An angel, again Gabriel, appeared to him as well. Said the same thing he said to Mary.

In ancient Isreal, it was bad to be unmarried and pregnant. So of course, Mary and Joseph got their wedding together really fast.

Skip a few years. (Try about 30.) Jesus is now travelling with his twelve desciples. He has performed many miracles. Simon-Peter actually said in a verse that's address I forgot that, "Not a single book could contain Jesus's miracles." So he did a lot of them.

Passover. A.D 33ish. Jesus is riding on a donkey and the people of Jerusalem are waving palm fronds at him and worshipping him.

The next week. He is arrested for crimes against the government, the pharaises. They didn't like Jesus because he did things that they couldn't. They had him on trial, thanks to Judas Iscariot. Judas betrayed Jesus for I think 20 pieces of silver.

Jesus is crucified. Crucifiction is a painful, terrible death. It has pains everywhere. Jesus died. No one ever comes off a Roman cross alive. Three days later, the tomb where he was lain behind a stone, is empty, as Mary (Mother) and the other Mary, came to see the body. Jesus has risen, says the angels.

Hope this helps. It's not great, but it's late and I can't think.

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Ahh. Thank you, Billy.

 

[Babyjustrun]

This is a little OT but whenever I think of the crucification of Jesus, I always think of the Pieta.
Which is a gorgeous sculpture.

to get more familiar with the whole story and everything, I suggest on reading the Bible, I'm still reading out of it all the time, finding new things every time and I've been going to church my whole life.

 

[Captain Brain]

Ahh. Thank you, Billy.

It's a streamlined version. I'd give more, but that would require work. XD And I'm lazy and tired.

 

[AmandaSparks730]

I don't have access to a Bible (we don't have one in the house).

Besides...not to be offense...but I wouldn't read it.

that's fine, I'm not saying you have to, it was just a recommendation.

I suggest that you should at least pick up a New Testament sometime. You may actually like it.

 

[AmandaSparks730]

I just don't think I could...see, there are things said in the Bible that I'm completely against (ie "gay is a sin" etc)
