Just wanted to get people's opinion of who Jesus is to you and why you feel the way you do? no trick, just want to discuss...
Just a reminder to anyone who continues to post that what is above is the original intent of this thread. Continuing to argue the fine points of an individual person's beliefs is not keeping within the original intent of this thread.
who or whatever JESUS is has to be good. After I was baptised I really did feel all my sins were washed away and the church loved me as one of there own. I still have memories of my sinful hayday. I am a changed for the better man now however i still continue to sin in other ways.
Some people say that i am going to hell no matter what. The bible says that the ones thought to be first will be last and the ones last to be first.
Ive always believed in god and have felt his presence in my life at all times.
the jesus thing is all new to me and Im still not comfortable worshiping his name.
I always thought there was one god , only one. Most of the writings and teachings of jesus was while he was a man. Im still pondering on that one.
I am very much in touch with my heart, mind, soul, body, logic circuits, faith, etc. And thru it all I can still say that we are only human with animalistic instincts. We all have the same basic needs for survival that supercede any philosophy.
No matter how christianity can be and is written off in peoples minds, i would rather be more like jesus (or what he represents) than anything in this world.
This is an opinion gathering post as far as I can tell. It's interesting to note that some are using this post to spread Christianity views. You must understand that there are others with different religions. Learn to respect their views instead of trying to push Christianity on them. If you must do that, start another thread.

Thank you for the opportunity to elaborate on who Jesus is to me and why I feel the way I do. Jesus is My Lord, My Savior, My God and principally ONE in The Holy Trinity. Who else has been known to forfeit their life for the Salvation of mankind, except Jesus! Who else would submit to unbearable whippings and made to carry His cross to Calvary, except Jesus! Who else is capable of Forgiving you of your sins and allowing you to pass into Eternal Life in Heaven, except Jesus!
The following Holy Scriptures speak of Jesus, the Christ.
"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared HIM." JOHN 1:18 [KJV]
When people ask about Jesus Christ, who He is and if He is the Son of God, those in the know should be proud to reply with the following Scripture: "And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from Heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." LUKE 3:22 [KJV]
There is a very good reason why God has sent His Only Begotten Son into the world.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His ONLY begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." JOHN 3:16 [KJV] This Scripture tells us quite plainly that " ... whosoever BELIEVETH in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." So, for those who do not believe in Him, and there are many, they should not hope to have everlasting life in Heaven or to be Saved since they do not BELIEVE in Jesus who is the only ONE who can give Salvation unto mankind. But then, why should non-believers want to go to Heaven, to a beautiful eternal place where there is no torment and suffering, in the first place, since they are not aligned with Jesus or God!
For those who want to know who Fathered Jesus, the answer is in the following Scripture. "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost." MATTHEW 1:18 [KJV]
After Jesus' birth and when He started His ministry and mission, He was rejected by jealous Jews who were in a leadership position and He was sent to the Roman governor to be executed. "When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus and put Him to death: And when they had bound Him, they led Him away, and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor." MATTHEW 27:1-2 [KJV]
Jesus, who came to lovingly give us SALVATION was mocked, whipped, beaten and crucified at Calvary. He suffered much under Pontius Pilate and died but RESURRECTED on the third day and remained for forty days and nights and was seen by His apostles and many others during that time. He could eat, be touched, etc. This is further proof of His God-self and again, I would have to ask who else has been known to do this, to suffer so much pain for mankind and to die just to deliver us from sin? Jesus, whom some do not believe in, was one "Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth: Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judge the righteously:" 1 PETER 2:22, 23 [KJV]
That is why HE means so much to me! His Love pours forth with His cup of kindness and goodness, mercy and compassion for mankind and how mankind, in turn, treats Him is abominable. But the Law of Cause and Effect (What you sow, that will you also reap) comes into play here just as sure as you have read these words. Every one who rejects Him cannot expect to have their soul saved at the time of their passing. After all, how could He know you if you do not want to know Him? Again, many will not want to have their soul saved but I do, that much is CERTAIN! And in being BORN AGAIN in the Name of Jesus, we can assure that we will go to Heaven at our appointed time. That is the best INSURANCE anyone in this world could ever hope to have! But for those still not convinced, you know the saying "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink". That is something they will have to personally contend and struggle with and their conscience. I will not place myself in that kind of position. I give ALL GLORY to God through His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ! I praise His Most Holy Name!
For those wanting to know what Jesus continues to do for us, it is answered in this Scripture: "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:" HEBREWS 9:24 [KJV] What better assurance and insurance could I possibly have than in knowing that Jesus will be before God when I pass on to give me Salvation since I believe and have given my life to Him! Personally, I would never want to risk not being Saved just to be stubborn and not believe in Jesus, after all, what would it cost me later on? What would I have to lose? SALVATION and my SOUL when I pass on, that's what, and that is a Price Too High to have to pay!
The Holy Bible addresses those who do not wish to understand Jesus or who reject Him and who are anti-God: "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 CORINTHIANS 2:14 [KJV]
Thank you again for asking the important question of who Jesus is to me and what He means to me and for allowing me to give my testimony as to why I feel the way I do. PRAISE OUR GOD and SAVIOR JESUS ALWAYS!!!
