Christ, Jesus Christ. Although it cannot so far be proved indefinably we can say that it is a truth that Jesus did exist for his life, choices, stances and philosophy’s have affected many and dwell in the hearts and minds in much the same way that Spider man effects a young mans conciseness.
A very famous book called the bible (the fist ever words to be committed to print) covered his life and times and the people he met along the way including his 12 disciples. The book is a collaborative effort to describe the positive community developments when people commit there lives to that of the greater good.
The Bible describing the life and times of J.C. was used in Westernized society’s alongside capitalism to propel the country’s people into the industrial revolution (they were coming out of the dark/middle ages).
The miraculousness thing about jesus was that he appeared in his mummy’s tummy without his fathers input …in other words the immaculate conception.
The fact that his mother and father had to travel a vast distance (because of work?) could cause us to question the reliability of that information and is usually the first thing that critics point out. However it was said that his journey to earth was marked by the stars, stars that three wise men chose to follow? To a small town in Bethlehem, Jerusalem.
Jesus father Joseph was a carpenter which was regarded in those days as an honorable profession. But he doesn’t appear according to the readings to have had more than an initial influence on Jesus. Mary his mother hardly gets a mention apart from her position as Virginal (and therefore desirably) Vestibule.
At heart Jesus appears to be the equivalent of a philosopher ..someone who ponders and acts on the fundamental problems of the society he lives under such as Existence, values, reason, mind and language. It is a philosophers job to create a rational argument (hopefully conclusion) to validate findings.
Jesus was obviously a very practical man and used his life in a self sacrificing way to point out the injustices in the system of government he was living under.
It is said he performed miracle’s (acts of collective will) such as turning water into wine.
Thanks to British scientists today who have researched and proven that achohol is not necessary to produce the effects of acting drunk…
We could therefore speculate from our vantage point in history that what happened that night was an enjoyable evening even if it started and conclude with water and maybe the writer explaining the evening (to the popular masses) chose to use creative license to aid the readers impression of what jesus had achieved that night.
Jesus was an old time Hero but you cannot deny his existence today as his words, teachings and concepts educate many of the populous into maturity and has as good as built the towers of control and imprisonment that we all are effected by.
Please note that Christianity is a branch of Religion that originated in Judaism ..the fundamental difference between the two religions is that the Jews do not believe that he rose again Easter is not a Jewish recognized holiday
…..Jesus was a Jew.
As someone who has turned from their original religious upbringing because of its hypocritical stance on so many subjects it would be a whole new debate. Has failed to fully encompass the Big Bang Theory im not sure if scientists today are less witch doctors then there historical counterparts and although i thank god for many of there discovery’s which have made it easier for me to understand and validate my world. I often find myself questioning the ethics of some of there areas of research and worry about the god like status they have achieved to position themselves into at this current point in history.
And although i know there are various pressure groups i could affiliate myself with to cope with my confusion i have not yet found one that covers my particular interests which is providing the best possible future for my children. Which I believe would be a conclusion to who has the best creation myth.i think the acopolitic (even though i can’t spell it) nature of the current state of the world needs some sort of miraculous, common man conclusion to the religion debate to move forward.
We cannot deny that spirituality exists (even science will testify to that) and in what form spirituality exists i believe is a personal choice.
But in the age of the internet (worldwide effective communication) and termendulous weather, central morality is probably the key to the future, as history dictates that society’s spiraling out of control normally end quite abruptly.
Can you help me gain some sort of formal conclusions to my findings to pass to my children
If you actually got this far thankyou for your time.
The secret is that the world was indeed created by god in the period of 7 days, but since god is eternal, we do not know how long a day is in god’s week. If a day is several million years, then evolution is indeed possible and with the order of creation–land sea fish animal human—it is logical. As a Jewish person, I find you are very misinformed. Yes, we acknowledge Jesus was a Jew, but we do not believe he was resurrected, is the son of god, or has any abilities out of the norm. The bible was not in fact the first words…there were languages before hebrew—cuneiform, hieroglyphics…the bible is written in hebrew, and was written after moses delivered the jews from slavery in Egypt were hieroglyphics were used and the first words in hebrew were written as the ten commandments on Mt. Sinai, and later that was continued as the bible (first testament). This all happened in ancient times, and Jesus lived in Rome, hundreds of years later in the classical period. The new testament, which was written by Jesus’s students long after his death was written when many great classical works were written. The bible states that once the messiah comes to the world, the world will be perfect. I do not believe that the messiah has come—our world is far from perfect, long after Jesus’s “resurrection” there was the Holocaust, the atom bomb, 9/11, and today’s conflicts in Libya and Japan. So yes, today’s world doesn’t correspond with those ideas. But I do believe that god is here, even though we see no miracles (the red sea hasn’t opened up in a while), but my rabbi once told me that the reason we don’t see miracles is because god doesn’t want us to feel obligated to believe in him. For, if absolute miracles happen, people are forced to believe, and a beautiful god wouldn’t do that. Judaism has many logical believes that do indeed correspond with the way the world is, and honestly it was a religious world of passion, hope, and love. Faith is everywhere, and don’t worry, conclusions will find you, not vise versa.
