Who Should We Really Believe Among The 3 Abrahamic Religions About JESUS? by africanunity: 2:23pm On Mar 14, 2013
Jesus (pron.: /ˈdʒiːzəs/; Greek: Ἰησοῦς Iēsous; 7–2 BC/BCE to 30–36 AD/CE), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth, is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God, and is regarded as a major Prophet in Islam.[7] Christians hold Jesus to be the awaited Messiah of the Old Testament and refer to him as Jesus Christ or simply as Christ,[8] a name that is also used secularly.
Virtually all contemporary scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed.[9][10] While the quest for the historical Jesus has produced little agreement on the historicity of gospel narratives and their theological assertions of his divinity,[11][12] most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish teacher from Galilee in Roman Judea, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman Prefect, Pontius Pilate.[4][13][10] Scholars have offered various portraits of the historical Jesus, which at times share a number of overlapping attributes, such as the leader of an apocalyptic movement, Messiah, a charismatic healer, a sage and philosopher, or a social reformer who preached of the "Kingdom of God" as a means for personal and egalitarian social transformation.[14][15] Scholars have correlated the New Testament accounts with non-Christian historical records to arrive at an estimated chronology of Jesus' life.[16]
Most Christians believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died sacrificially by crucifixion to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return.[17] The majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, and the Second Person of the Holy Trinity.[18] A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural.[18][19]
In Islam, Jesus (commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God's important prophets.[20] In Islam, Jesus is a bringer of scripture, and the product of a virgin birth, but not the victim of crucifixion. Judaism rejects the belief that Jesus was the awaited Messiah, arguing that he did not fulfill the Messianic prophecies in the Tanakh.[21] Bahá'í scripture almost never refers to Jesus as the Messiah, but calls him a Manifestation of God.[22]

Who is He to you?? That's what you should be concerned about! The Bible made it clear that He is the son of God! Go read the Holy book! Accept Him as your Lord and Saviour! smiley

What exactly do christians know for certain about Jesus (Isa, PBUH) apart from those abstract things one Paul said about him. What do we know about the Paul itself except that he used to be Saul. What was his last name?

I'll not be part of a reasoning of a wicked father who had to sacrifice his only "begotten son" in order to forgive us our sins. Never!

Jesus (Isa, PBUH) is a messenger of God, Period! God bless the real Jesus (Isa, PBUH)!

Expecting the brainwashed "evangelist" to flock this thread with how he died for their sins, how I will need the Holy Ghost to know him, et cetera!

For Those who said light of the world sorry to burst your bubble, the world is now in darkness more than it was centuries ago.
