Why do you think books about Jesus Christ and his life here on earth has been read by more people than ?

Question

anyone else in the world?

Answer 1

Mostly because the bible was crammed down the throats of people all over the world.  Once the missionaries were successful in wiping out indigenous people's beliefs, they moved on to the next.

Like locusts.

Answer 2

Not only by Christians, but other "belief systems" as well.  The Bible is the most awesome Book I have ever read.  More people than not believe the same thing, even if they won't admit it.  Check out www.bjnewlife.org.  These free christian books are awesome, too!

Answer 3

Because Jews were suppose to be the chosen people, but free will and satan corrupted them (no offense, not all Jews are like that, just some back then)..

And in Jewish tradition, all who claim to be Christ are punishable up to death and they thought Jesus was blaspheming so they didn't believe.

But people now-a-days (not back then, those people were sort of nuts in a way) (well some people at least, most people in this generation are.. sort of equally whack) are finding the truth and finding God.

It's cause of ... back then - Tradition, Now - Those who have true faith are smart.

The Beatitudes

5:3-12 pp—Lk 6:20-23

Mt 5:1 Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him,

Mt 5:2 and he began to teach them, saying:

Mt 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Mt 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Mt 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Mt 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Mt 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

Mt 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart,for they will see God.

Mt 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called sons of God.

Mt 5:10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Mt 5:11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

Mt 5:12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Salt and Light

Mt 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

Mt 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

Mt 5:15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

Mt 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

The Fulfillment of the Law

Mt 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Mt 5:18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Mt 5:19 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Mt 5:20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Murder

5:25, 26 pp—Lk 12:58, 59

Mt 5:21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

Mt 5:22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of h**l.

Mt 5:23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

Mt 5:24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

Mt 5:25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

Mt 5:26 I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

Adultery

Mt 5:27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

Mt 5:28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Mt 5:29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into h**l.

Mt 5:30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into h**l.

Divorce

Mt 5:31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’

Mt 5:32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Oaths

Mt 5:33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.’

Mt 5:34 But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

Mt 5:35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.

Mt 5:36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.

Mt 5:37 Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

An Eye for an Eye

Mt 5:38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’

Mt 5:39 But I tell you, Do not resist a
