Jesus of Nazareth (c 4 BC/BCE – c 30 AD/CE), also known as Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity, and within most denominations he is venerated as the Son of God and as God incarnate. Christians also view him as the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament; Judaism rejects this claim. Islam considers Jesus a prophet, while several other religions revere him in some way. The principal sources of information regarding Jesus' life and teachings are the four canonical gospels, especially the Synoptic Gospels, though some scholars argue that other texts (such as the Gospel of Thomas) are as relevant as the canonical gospels to the historical Jesus. Most critical scholars in the fields of history and biblical studies believe that some parts of the New Testament are useful for reconstructing Jesus' life, agreeing that he was a Jew who was regarded as a teacher and healer. They also generally accept 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 studies remain inconclusive about 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. Christian views of Jesus (see also Christology) center on the belief that Jesus is divine, is the Messiah whose coming was prophesied in the Old Testament, and that he was resurrected after his crucifixion. 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 widely accepted by Christians, a minority instead hold nontrinitarian beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus. 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, rather than the traditional Christian belief of the death and resurrection of Jesus. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Why was Jesus allowed to come back 3 days after his crucifixion? Q. I understand Jesus died for our sins on the cross. God (Father) turned away from the ugly sight of Jesus who was tainted with sins at that instance. Since Jesus took the place of a sacrificial lamb which has traditionally been the atonement for sins, why then was Jesus allowed to return to Earth from Hell? How could 3 days of hell be enough to appease God of all the world's sins and future sins that were bore upon a single sacrifice? Asked by Kira - Wed Apr 1 11:14:45 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well, science has proved that on average, a body takes about four days to begin its' rate of decay into dust. Since it was prophesied that Jesus' flesh "...would not see corruption (decay)..." I can only assume that that was why He arose after three days. If you recall, when Jesus resurrected Lazarus, he (Lazarus) had been dead FOUR days and Mary (Lazarus' sister) was quoted as saying "Surely he stinketh (from decay)..." The reason Lazarus "saw decay" was that he was MORTAL and that his resurrection was a show of God's power over the grave. Though the Bible doesn't record the time, Lazarus eventually died again whereas Jesus never again died nor saw corruption! This is also in part the reason the women who first saw Jesus after his… [cont.] Answered by bigvol662004 - Wed Apr 1 12:35:19 2009 What was the name of the mountain where the devil tempted jesus? Q. According to the bible, the devil took jesus to the 'top of a mountain where he could see all the kingdoms of the world'. The devil said that he would give it all to jesus if only jesus would bow down and worship him. Two questions: 1. What mountain is there where it is possible to 'see all the kingdoms of the world'? AND 2. If this is only meant as an allegory, why do christians believe that the existence of a historical jesus is real? Can anyone answer these questions?

Q. So why do you get offended when people do the same thing toward the Atheists? Atheists are no different than the Pharisees. They know better but they choose not to believe or to listen, but yet so many people want to defend them. I'm not defending anyone who chooses to do wrong when they know they are wrong. This is why Jesus got onto the Pharisees and the scribes. Jesus didn't defend the Pharisees but he exposed and belittle them. Did this bring them closer to Christ? No it didn't.
