..he was tempted like one of us and he suffered just as we suffered. That the holy, all knowing God and creator of the Universe suffered for the very people who he created to save them from his own anger and that Jesus Christ really is that amazing and is the best news one can receive!! "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12)

"I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?" "I am the way and the truth and the life. NO-ONE comes to the Father except through me."

... "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." (1 John 4:8-10

I think we need, as Joseph Chilton Pearce say, to redeem christ of christianity or save him from the church. JCP says he is profoundly pro-christian and profoundly anti-christ. I also feel that Christianity is the toxic mimic of everything Christ was trying to teach.

I can't see what's wrong with learning from each other. I'm a Christian and I respect and learn from those of other faiths. I worship God but there's lots to learn from Buddhism. The Buddha never said to worship him so I can't see a problem.

The greatest danger any person faces is eternal punishment. The greatest need is to enter eternal life through the new birth of water and Spirit. There is no greater joy than living at peace with your Creator, who loves you and wants you to be His child. You can give no greater gift than the Good News. wouldnt you like to recieve the saving seed?Christ thought of you when He was on the cross...Blessed those who hear and recieve His words in Jesus' name amen love u all in Christ

...Therefore, anyone who believes in and trusts in Jesus' sacrifice has had their sins defeated, not through their own works, but through those of Jesus. And they've also had eternal death and suffering defeated, again not through their own works, but through those of Jesus. God bless you.

"Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven." "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Believing in Jesus is believing and trusting in what he said, not twisting it to suit our own needs and opinions.

Once more it is shown that Christian thought, explored to its profundities, is unsurpassable in depth

There's power in God's word

...The link doesn't work, just search 'fulfilled prophecies about Jesus and click on one' :)

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." God is love, Jesus is love, find Jesus my friend and you'll find true love.

.. The two 'contradictions' which you've eluded to are good ones! You need to carefully re-read Matthew 24 to see that the "This generation" shall not pass before... is referring not to his second coming, but to the destruction of the temple in 70AD, where the Jews where kicked out of Jerusalem without warning, therefore sealing the new covenant with God's people. This can be seen as a parallel to what Jesus' coming will be like, when no-one expects it.

There both answer,s to each other, answering everything at once just makes life more confusing,try to think over what you mean to say before thinking it.

Was it not stated 2,000 years ago "This generation" shall not pass before all these things have come to pass? How many 2,000 year olds do you know? and if Jesus was the Messiah , why must he come again? what went wrong the first time? why has there no peace on earth? why are there 2 geneologies of Jesus and both contradict each other?

...2. The two genealogies are different but they are in no way a direct contradiction of one another. It is believed by expert scholars (who've studied this more than me and you) that one follows the mother's side and the other simply follows the father's side, you can wikipedia it if you like.

Only a fool of great intellectual confines is selfish enough to think that we are the only intelligent life in the Universe. This thinking, that because we can't "FIGURE THINGS OUT" that there must be a God, is just our impatience with our own efforts to push our minds past these limitations. And we settle with the obvious contradictions of Christianity like little children told to shut up, behave and do as I say. Afraid to question the "faith" vigorously to weed them out. Man made God. Period.

All the authors of the gospels were originally Jews, they believed in one God 'YHWH', they had no reason to change from this belief, other than the fact that they realised that Jesus was indeed the Messiah. They were the people who lived with him and who knew him best and they renounced all of their Jewish traditions because they knew 100% that Jesus was the Messiah, as I also know. I'm not sure what examples you're referring to but I don't think there is any manipulating of prophecies involved.

Just the fact that one human being's life is sacrificed for another is one of the most primitive and horrendous things I have ever heard. And people accept this but on the other hand say they prescribe to the dignity of all life and that all life is sacred. The contradiction is on the face. But they come up with the concept of sin trumping the dignity of and respect for all life. On one hand, "thou shalt not kill". On the other hand it's Ok as long as I God do it. People fall for this. Amazing.

The bible is a series of prophecies from God written down by various men from various places in various time frames, all of which talk about the same genre of things and all of which were then fulfilled within their allotted time period because God is faithful and God doesn't lie or contradict himself. I don't know what exactly you are referring to, but let me clarify that there are NO contradictions in the bible, either historical or scientific, the 'contradictions' come from bad interpretion.
