Do you think Jesus made the world better during his time on earth?

Question

Did the Buddha make the world better when he was alive?

Did Muhammad?

Answer 1

Yes.  Jesus gave people hope and is alive today.  John 3:16  

Answer 2

Hardly any better.

Answer 3

Each Manifestation of God renews love of God in the hearts of mankind and when His teachings are forgotten then a new Manifestation of God appears and this process never ends. God created us and He never lives us alone.

Answer 4

If they improved the life of a single person, they made the world better.

Answer 5

I think Paul more than undid everything Jesus accomplished in terms of enlightening people on how to live and how to treat others.

Answer 6

Yes, Jesus did.  He challenged hypocrisy.  He challenged authoritarians who were not worthy to have spiritual authority. He crossed the boundaries of cultural expectations by speaking to women in public and by touching lepers and other "unclean" people.

Not to mention, healing the sick and feeding the hungry, and opening the eyes and hearts of the spiritually and physically blind.

Buddha, I don't know...

Mohammed, I think not.  He was a warrior, he had 22 women as his wives or concubines, including a 6 year old.  Nothing can justify that -- that was well outside the cultural norms of his day.  

Answer 7

I don't think Jesus ever existed in the first place.

Answer 8

If all 3 never existed this world would have a lot less problems.

Answer 9

This world will never be 'better' than it is already because it's run by Satan. Christ offered a personal salvation to each one who believes on him.

Answer 10

well, jesus and muhammad both inspired a lot of wars, so no for them.  

Answer 11

No.................Jesus spoke of the Truth................and people don't want to hear the Truth................therefore, creating controversy.

There is only ONE God, and there none besides Him.

Answer 12

I think they tried. If all three were alive today they would be sitting in front of a television laughing at how badly the human race as bungled their initial messages.....

I picture Muhammad walking through the door of a typical bachelor's apartment with a six pack of Coronas. Jesus says, "Wow, dude, come here and check this jerk out!" Muhammad walks over to the television to watch a man blow himself up in His name. Muhammad swears and throws his jacket on the floor, "Man! I'm tellin' you. These jerks get more and more screwed up the longer I watch them!" Buddha laughs and says, "Tell me about it."
