Jesus of Nazareth (c. 4 BC/BCE – c. 30 AD/CE), also known as Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity, which views him as the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament, with most Christian denominations believing him to be the Son of God who was raised from the dead. Islam considers Jesus a prophet and also the Messiah. Several other religions revere him in some way. He is one of the most influential figures in human history.

The principal sources of information regarding Jesus' life and teachings are the four canonical gospels, especially the Synoptic Gospels, though some scholars argue such texts as the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of the Hebrews are also relevant.

Most critical scholars in biblical studies believe that some parts of the New Testament are useful for reconstructing Jesus' life, agreeing that Jesus was a Jew who was regarded as a teacher and healer, that he was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman Prefect of Judaea, Pontius Pilate, on the charge of sedition against the Roman Empire. Aside from these few conclusions, academic debate continues regarding the chronology, the central message of Jesus' preaching, his social class, cultural environment, and religious orientation. Scholars offer competing descriptions of Jesus as the awaited Messiah, as a self-described Messiah, as the leader of an apocalyptic movement, as an itinerant sage, as a charismatic healer, and as the founder of an independent religious movement.

Christians predominantly believe that Jesus is the "Son of God" (generally meaning that he is God the Son, the second person in the Trinity) who came to provide salvation and reconciliation with God by his death for their sins. Other Christian beliefs include Jesus' virgin birth, performance of miracles, ascension into Heaven, and a future Second Coming. While the doctrine of the Trinity is accepted by most Christians, a few groups reject the doctrine of the Trinity, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural.

In Islam, Jesus (Arabic: عيسى‎, commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God's important prophets, a bringer of scripture, and a worker of miracles. Jesus is also called "Messiah", but Islam does not teach that he was divine. Islam teaches that Jesus ascended bodily to heaven without experiencing the crucifixion and resurrection, rather than the traditional Christian belief of the death and resurrection of Jesus.

How could everyone miraculously believe Jesus was the messiah after he rose from the dead?
Q. Think about it. The jews of today still don't believe he was the messiah. Why would they then? They have always held onto their beliefs that Jesus wasn't the messiah. So, who was Jesus supposed to have convinced of his authenticity? Only other people in the area at the time were the Romans.

A. That's why Paul took the revamped, pagan-influenced version of that religion to the Gentiles, where they welcomed it. Jesus was one of many proclaimed "messiahs" of that era who simply failed to fulfill the Jewish prophecies, period.

What method will Jesus use to euthanize your cows and chickens, come the Rapture?
Q. Word is when you holy folks commence ascending unto heaven, the farm animals will be prohibited. Will Jesus have a method of euthanasia for them -- or will he leave them to fend for themselves -- or perish the thought what if atheists get a hold of them? .

A. Didn't John Nelson Darby cover that bit when he sold the Dispensationalism view of the Rapture to Americans after being told to FO by the English for it not being scriptually supported

What is the basis for the insinuation that a statement by Jesus is more important than other Bible teachings?
Q. Of course, in this forum it is sometimes more than insinuation. Some outright claim that if something is taught in the Bible but not specifically mentioned by Jesus, it somehow carries more authority. Yes, I'm aware that "red-letter Bibles" which showed Jesus' words in red used to be very popular. But I find it interesting that it is often the anti-Christian posts which seem to want to focus on dividing the Bible's teachings into Jesus and non-Jesus doctrine.
Asked by XenonEmeritus - Mon Jul 20 18:18:53 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. All very good answers. There shouldn't be any more importance in a statement made by Jesus than any other passage of the bible. It all supposedly came from God anyway...2 Tim 3:16. Anti-Christian posts as you put it focus on dividing the Bible's teaching into those 2 categories because they haven't read the whole thing (most likely) and assume that the passages actually spoken by Jesus are more accurate than the 'men' that wrote the others...just a guess
