The core Christian belief is that through the death and resurrection of Jesus In the Christian Gospels, the Resurrection of Jesus was the return to bodily life of Jesus after his death by crucifixion. Christian doctrine, ritual and theology are based on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus being actual events in history. Most Christians accept the New Testament chronicle in all four Gospels as a historical account of, sinful Original sin is, according to a doctrine proposed in Christian theology, humanity's state of sin resulting from the Fall of Man. This condition has been characterized in many ways, ranging from something as insignificant as a slight deficiency, or a tendency toward sin yet without collective guilt, referred to as a "sin nature", to humans can be reconciled to God and thereby are offered salvation and the promise of eternal life Immortality is the concept of living in a physical or spiritual form for an infinite or inconceivably vast length of time.[1] Theologian and bishop Lesslie Newbigin Bishop James Edward Lesslie Newbigin was a Church of Scotland missionary serving in the former Madras State (now Tamil Nadu), India, who became a Christian theologian and bishop involved in missiology, ecumenism, and the Gospel and Our Culture Movement says "the whole of Christian teaching would fall to the ground if it were the case that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus were not events in real history but stories told to illustrate truths which are valid apart from these happenings."[2] Most Christians do believe that Jesus was fully Jewish man and fully God, God in human form—having all of our frailties and desires but never acting on them, only seeking to do the will of His father in heaven, never once seeking to make Himself happy in any way but willfully submitting to God as a man, never doing what He wanted to do but what He saw His Father in heaven doing. They hold that Jesus' first coming According to the Canonical Gospels, the ministry of Jesus began when Jesus was around 30 years old, and lasted a period of 1–3 years. In the biblical narrative, Jesus' method of teaching involved parables, metaphor, allegory, sayings, proverbs, and a small number of direct sermons. This was the first coming of Jesus; as most Christian was the fulfillment of most messianic prophecies Christians believe that many verses of the Hebrew Bible are prophecies of the Messiah and were fulfilled by Jesus (Full Preterism) or will be fulfilled in his Second Coming (Nicene Christianity). See also Christian views of Jesus of the Old Testament In Christianity, the Old Testament is the collection of books that form the first of the two-part Christian Biblical canon. These works correspond to the Hebrew Bible , with some variations and additions. In the Eastern Orthodox Church the comparable texts are known as the Septuagint, from the original Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures and that the rest will be fulfilled on his second coming In most Christian theologies, the second coming of Christ is the return of Jesus from Heaven to Earth, an event expected to fulfill aspects of biblical Messianic prophecy, such as the general resurrection of the dead, the last judgment of the dead and the living and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth , including the Messianic.
While there have been theological disputes over the nature of Jesus, Trinitarian The Order of the Holy Trinity is a Catholic religious order that was founded in the area of Cerfroid, some 80 km northeast of Paris, at the end of the twelfth century. The founder was St. John de Matha, whose feast day is celebrated on 17 December. Pope Innocent III granted the order and its rule approval with his letter Operante divine Christians generally believe that Jesus is God incarnate The Incarnation is the belief in Christianity that the second person in the Christian Godhead, also known as the Son or the Logos , "became flesh" when he was miraculously conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

The doctrine of the Trinity identifies Jesus of Nazareth as God the Son, united in essence but distinct in person with regard to God the Father and God the Holy Spirit . God the Son is co-eternal with God the Father (and the Holy Spirit), both before creation and after the End (, and "true God and true man Hypostatic union [dubious – discuss] is a technical term in Christian theology employed in mainstream Christology to describe the presence of both human and divine natures in Jesus Christ. The Gospel of John 10:37-38 quotes Jesus as follows: "...that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."" (or both fully divine and fully human). Jesus, having become fully human The Incarnation is the belief in Christianity that the second person in the Christian Godhead, also known as the Son or the Logos , "became flesh" when he was miraculously conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

As fully God, he defeated death and rose to life again. According to the Bible The Bible, sometimes called the Holy Bible, can refer to one of two closely related religious texts central to Judaism and Christianity—the Hebrew or Christian sacred Scriptures respectively, God raised him from the dead.[3] He ascended to heaven The Christian doctrine of the Ascension holds that Jesus ascended to heaven in the presence of his Eleven Apostles following his resurrection, and that in heaven he sits at the right hand of God the Father, to the "right hand of God,"[4] and he will return again In most Christian theologies, the second coming of Christ is the return of Jesus from Heaven to Earth, an event expected to fulfill aspects of biblical Messianic prophecy, such as the general resurrection of the dead, the last judgment of the dead and the living and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth , including the Messianic[5] to fulfill the rest of Messianic prophecy Messiah literally means "anointed (one)" such as the Resurrection of the dead Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Zoroastrianism all variously describe a resurrection of the dead, usually referring to a regeneration of all people to face God on Judgment Day, the Last Judgment The Last Judgment, Final Judgment, Judgment Day, or Day of the Lord in Christian theology, is the final and eternal judgement by God of all nations.

Q. I am just wondering how the non-Christians of any sort of this site view Jesus. I myself am not a Christian, but a member of the Baha'i Faith, and I view Christ as a Manifestation of God (not an incarnation) and my saviour. I do not however mean to ridiule anyone's views of Christ.

A. I am also non christian. I too believe Jesus was a manifestation of God and not God. I believe his life was pivotal in teaching us how to evolve spiritually as humans and as souls. He taught us many great lessons about caring and respecting ourselves and one another. It is a shame that his portrayal in the bible has skewed his teachings to the point that so many of his so called followers take his messages in vain.
