Lets talk about Jesus

[Ballazic]

Ok i hear so much crap about jesus, the church, Christians.


This is a thread were we are going to say nice things about stuff.

Whatever.

If you can't say any thing nice about something don'yt say anything at all

As a Christian i don't want to banter endlessly about issues. Lets Enjoy life.

Just Listen.

 

[Dida]

turn the other cheek is the best thing you can learn from jesus,
we should forgive others who have wronged us, as jesus forgave us.

 

[Ballazic]

Its True.

Meekness is a treasure that the world ignores

 

[The Yankee]

Jesus was cool.

If we had more politicians acting like Jesus than trying to use him for their own gain, we'd all be better off.

 

[vbraun]

For some reason I don't read a lot of crap about Jesus on these forums.

 

[Ballazic]

Vbraun, Your right.

I just mean that people associate him with some bad christians.


Jesus is awesome.
Everything he said was so perfect and unrefutable. He is the perfect leader. Men are willing to follow a leader who is unassuming, loving, compassionate, and strong.

perfect? he did say he came not to bring peace but a sword you know.

Anyway I love his long hair

 

[Savage Discipil]

Anyone remeber he died for or Sins.

 

[Pyrite]

One time he cursed a fig tree. And it died.

I hate figs.

 

[thisispete]

The Beatitudes are really good. I think the world would be a better place if people remembered "Blessed are the peacemakers"

I remember in the book of john, jesus came upon a woman, who begged him to cure her daughter, who was possessed by devil. jesus refused, saying he was only sent to help the Isralies, and that 'it is not right to take the bread from one's own kid, and give it to the dog.' the woman then said even dogs deserve to eat some scran from the table. jesus finally agreed to help her.
so, jesus view all of us who is not israli as dogs?
Jesus might have said many good things, but he is far from perfect.

 

[I am the Future]

Jesus always Loves You

So that I dont have to

Such blissful existence is rejected by much of society, but imagine if every-day folk acted more like Jesus

Render unto Casear what is Caesar's and render unto God what is God's.

Also,

Mark 9:38-40 "...we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbade him, because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part." (KJV)
Luke 9:49-50 "...we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us."

Bush for example could learn from that with his "You are either with us or against us." i.e. the world is Black and white. No, Jesus said if you are not against us you are for us.

When Jesus was rejected by a village, his disciples told him to destroy the village with a curse,

Luke 9:52-56: "...they did not receive him...And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village."

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

Yes, turn the other cheek, like I do to religion

Agree, since I see the persicution of Christians via psychological harm churns my stomach.

The only thing I know about him is that he is the son of God and has died on the cross for our sins. That is what all I know since I am entierly uncaterized and just reverted back to christianity about three months ago .

 

[Civlord]

Jesus was more like a political extremist, I think. He wanted to convert everyone first by soft words then by curses. He only wanted power for his new doctrine.

 

[Warman17]

Since you asked for nice things to say...

Jesus tried to do good.

It's the thought that counts right?

I knew this thread wouldn't stay nice for long :shakehead .

I like the fact that Jesus is impossible to see to those that havn't found him, but impossible not to see to those that have. Only those that have might know what I mean.

 

[Warman17]

Theres notihng to 'find'. He was a man who was crusified much like the thousands along the appian way after Sparticus' rebellion. Don't see any of them being flaunted as the son of God do you?
