A test: Do You Have The True Jesus?
by Matt Slick

There is a simple way to see if someone has the true Jesus or not. By true Jesus, I mean the one of the Bible--not the one of Mormonism who is the brother of the devil nor the Jehovah's Witness Jesus who is Michael the Archangel and certainly not the one of the New Age Movement who is simply a man in tune with the divine consciousness.

1. The Jesus of the Bible is prayed to (Acts 7:55-60; Psalm 116:4 and Zech. 13:9 with 1 Cor. 1:1-2).

2. The Jesus of the Bible is worshiped (Matt. 2:2, 11; 14:33; 28:9; John 9:35-38; Heb. 1:6)

3. The Jesus of the Bible is called God (John 20:28; Heb. 1:8.).

In cult theologies, Jesus is a creation in one form or another (this is why the Jehovah's Witnesses add the word ‘other' four times to Col. 1:16-17). Therefore, He is not to be prayed to, worshiped, or called God.

If you are a Christian, then you will be able to pray to Jesus--not just through. You will be able to worship Jesus equally with the Father. And you will be able to call Jesus your Lord and God. A cultist cannot do this. A cultist has a false Jesus, and, therefore, a false hope of salvation.

the true jesus is the one that disappeared 2015 years ago.

OLAADEGBU:

Another "Jesus" is the one that Roman catholic priests summon into a wafer and magically turn it into flesh to be consummed. That is different from the Jesus I worship.

OLAADEGBU:



Encounter the true Jesus:

"For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time" (1 Corinthians 15:3-8.)

Lol,I that is the Holy Communion,Jesus said to do it in remembrance of Him.

There shouldn't be any magic where Jesus is concerned

madlatunji:


all hearsay

OLAADEGBU:


The fact that Abraham Lincoln was born, became president, or was assassinated cannot be proven using scientific methods.  To be scientific it must be repeatable (as in the testing of gravity).  The proofs that Lincoln did exist and was a historical figure are:

1. the written evidence,
2. eyewitness testimony,
3. physical evidence that remains to this day at the Ford Theatre, birth records and newspaper articles regarding his election.

All these facts are acceptable in a court of law as proof to a judge and jury and cannot be said to be hearsay.

Garry T. Ansdell (D.D.) made a case out of this when he stated that "The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is evidential:

1. the empty tomb still exists,
2. His birth record is documented all the way back to Adam and Eve,
3. the four Gospels record His death;
4. the location, even the names of the political leaders who sentenced Him are historically recorded;
5. there were more than five hundred eyewitnesses who saw Jesus after the resurrection, recorded by the New Testament writers;
6. the very existence of the Christian faith, based on His death and resurrection;
7. the cultural and political evidence at the time, including the Roman calender separating all of time into Before Christ (B.C.) and in the year of our Lord (A.D.)."

Our faith is based on solid evidence and not hearsay.

madlatunji:


Those are the same evidence that european courts had to burn burn witches.

There is a reason why science ignores court decisions.

OLAADEGBU:


The evidence is clear!

He needs to roll the stone before escaping the tomb? . LWKM Why didn't Jesus Christ teleport out of the tomb leaving the stone in place? Now that would have been even more impressive!

OLAADEGBU:


The evidence is clear!

The same Jesus that doesn't know the judgement day?

madlatunji:


ahhh! the cartoons are back!

OLAADEGBU:


Pictures, they say speak more than a thousand words.

OLAADEGBU:


Did Jesus mean you have to "miraculously" bring Him down from heaven to die every time you perform this rite or that the emblems used only represent the Lord's broken body and His blood that was shed respectively that should be taken in remembrance of Him till He comes?

Rilwayne001:

lampardizik:


It was "supposed" to be representational,not killing Jesus a thousand times over

OLAADEGBU:


The true Jesus is not the Isa of the Qur'an.

OLAADEGBU:


That reminds me of the book titled: "Who moved the stone"? Where a skeptic set out to write a book to disprove the resurrection of Christ but could not finish what he started. ==> http://www.gospeltruth.net/whomovedthestone.htm Read it to find out the answer to your question.

Rilwayne001:


You still haven't counter my point. What you tried to relay to us in the OP is that, Jesus is God almighty, being that, he was allegedly prayed to, worshipped and at the same time called god in the bible. Now, my question is: How can our god not have any idea when the hour would come? How is it possible for this god (Jesus) to admit that he is not good and that another GOD is good ( Mark 10:18) ?

Rilwayne001:


The link didn't attempt my point at all. Its just a long boring article, opinion of the author and in some instance trying to correct the writer of John.. It didn't attempt my point at all, if it does, please copy and paste it here.

Although the gospels tell us that the resurrected Jesus appeared and disappeared at will, popping up and vanishing " in the midst of them ", is it still necessary to move the stone for him to exit the tomb?

This is not an arguement BTW.

Jesus Is Alive!

TEXT: LUKE 24:1-12

"And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee" (Luke 24:5,6).

Many times, we look for the right things in the wrong places. On the one hand, we express faith in God, but on the other, we act unbelief.

The women at the tomb of Jesus had forgotten that He predicted that He would rise from the dead on the third day. They had only one thought in mind: to embalm His body for a decent burial, something many people crave for today.

But while they came with preparation for the dead, they left with the message from the angels that He is alive! Stunned, they ran back to brief the apostles and other disciples. But no one believed them. Their words sounded like idle tales, the sort some category of women usually told. Even when Peter got to the tomb and met it empty , rather than believe, he became confused, wondering what could have happened.

Yet, here was the greatest event of all times, the singular mark that distinguishes Christianity from other religions: that God came down as man, died for the sins of the world, and rose again in glory. Jesus conquered death so that we too will triumph over death on the last day. He rose with a glorious body, so that we may live henceforth in newness of life. He overcame death so that we can have power to live for Him in this evil world.

The question is, have you met that risen Christ? Has He changed your life? Your life will change the day you allow Jesus to reign in your heart.

It's true that the resurrected Christ didn't need the stone to be moved before He got ou

A god would not have needed to move the stone but the storyteller certainly did! With the stone still in place who would have known something miraculous had happened?

A god that materializes in a closed room in Jerusalem, on the shore of Lake Tiberias, or on a mountain in Galilee, most certainly needed no stone moved to allow him to leave a tomb. But the narrator of a sacred play needed the "moved stone" as a theatrical flourish, in order that female visitors to the tomb (and the audience) could see "the body ... gone!" We are talking theatre, not history.

but how do you expect the witnesses to know that He has resurrected bodily if the tomb was still sealed?
