Answer 2

Your question is?  What do you mean?  I bet you have never read His book...or history...

Answer 3

Yep!

He fulfills OT prophecy written almost 500 years before His birth that no other religious figure in history could fulfill.

Daniel 9:24 says that the Jews only have 70 (7 + 62 + 1) prophetic weeks (1 prophetic day = 1 literal year - Ezekiel 4:6) until they will be cut off. That equals 490 literal years. Daniel 9:25 says that the prophecy begins at the command by Artaxerxes to rebuild Jerusalem (Ezra 7:12,13, 21) which was given in 457 BC (This is also corroborated by a secular document by Artaxerxes). If we go forward 483 years from 457 BC, we come to AD 27 (don't forget that there is no year "0", so subtract 1 year).

What happened in AD 27? Jesus began his ministry in AD 27, when He was actually 30. That is because our calendar is off by 4 years, and you don't count the year "0", so there is a 3-year difference.

Luke 3:1, 21 tells us that Jesus was baptized in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, which was AD 27. How many "Messiahs" can there be that fulfilled this prophecy? Only one. Not Shiva, not Krishna, not Buddha, not Muhammed.

Then Daniel 9:26 says that in the 70th week (a 7-year period) "halfway through the week (3-1/2 years) Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself". Three-and-a-half years after AD 27 is the Spring of AD 30, when Christ was crucified, but not for His own sins (He had none). At that time, He caused the "sacrifice and oblation to cease" (the sacrificial system came to and end - and, just to make His point clear, the veil in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.)

The 70th week ends at AD 34. What happened in AD 34? Right after Christ rose from the dead in AD 30, He commanded his disciples to "go first to the lost children of Israel (the Jews)." In AD 34, the Jews stoned Stephen to death, who became the first Christian martyr, and probation finally came to a close for the Jews, as they finally rejected the Gospel. The stoning of Stephen then caused the Christians to spread out into the rest of the world, carrying the Gospel to the Gentiles. This is the end of Daniel's 70-week prophecy.

In summary, NONE of the other "gods/goddesses" fulfilled any part of this prophecy, even if they were claimed to experience similar events, none of them would have been in the correct time frame as the prophecy spelled out, so they are easily seen as fakes. Only one person in history fulfilled this prophecy written 483 years before its fulfillment, and that was Jesus Christ, Yeshua ha Messhiach, Immanuel.

Answer 7

It is a believable and doubt-able story, if that is what you mean.....

Life does not always seem FAIR!

Hi!  I am a Forgive Affirmed Spirit and this is what I profess and try to act like.

Forgive Affirmed Spirit is the belief in a way of life that is a method of grief resolution and functional communication processing involving active listenning, sympathy, empathy and affirmation of shock, denial, anger, guilt, depression, loneliness and hope...a kind of ego-equilibrium seeking methodology.

A Greater Works of communication and action, a way to learn to love your enemies "Advocating mortal life, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you AS IF YOU WERE THEM!"  



And nobody is perfect!  NOBODY!  We are all judgeable, hopefully in a graceful discerning way!   We are all doing our best every moment!

Humans judge everything  as we are a part of it.  Without difference, we have nothing to live for, nothing to witness.  Sin is difference, the relative seriousness with regards to law and survival of other beings, is punishable by the courts. The best way to judge is with as much graceful discernment as one can muster in a given moment!

Life is the question(uncertainty) asked by the exhaling infinitely compacted imagination invention, or no thing, which is completely certain of everything, completely omniscient or all knowing.

When I die, I believe I will be in a new state, aware of all that is and yet divided into the nature of dust that I am in, whereupon my dust shall fall.  My being will remain an infinite part of an infinite being and infinite knowledge without my material human being status of now. So there will be a change.



But my soul, my passions and discompassions, will move on to infinite places of comfort and challenge.  Able to return to this state of uncertainty and free choice illusion for another ride when it is called effectively to do so.

So that the children of God, the creations of God, .. are actually part in parcel of that God or Creation Energy!

This  life is a roller coaster ride. Enjoy your passion within it and whatever gathering of two or more in Forgive Affirmed Spirit to make it better can garner.

Healing be unto you and yours and me and mine in

Forgive Affirmed Spirit

Answer 8

Yes Jesus is real (just one real, not "reals").

Answer 9

If I told you Jesus' story using another name, say Patrick, you would think I'm nuts. And that's exactly what I'd think about myself if I believed the story of Jesus.

Answer 10

Before Jesus, the Jews brought forth a slew of "Messiahs."  It became a matter of "No, this time we really mean it!  He's the REAL Messiah!"
