Those were never opportune to know Jesus and even those that did, few acknowledge Jesus. Very few!

Jesus is not influential across multiple countries but Jackson is worldwide.

His acceptance and influence has no boundaries! Am not sure you know what you are saying. Comparing Michael Jackson to Jesus Christ is comparing global entertainment influence to civilization-level influence. Michael Jackson changed music, dance, and pop culture for generations, but Jesus influenced the beliefs, morals, laws, traditions, and way of life of billions of people across more than 2,000 years. Entire civilizations, holidays, charities, schools, hospitals, and cultures were built around the teachings of Jesus. Michael Jackson was one of the greatest entertainers in history, but Jesus shaped world history itself.

oga if you are a physics student, you will understand. Einstein solved the unsolvable.
I wonder how a physics student didn't know that almost every law known was devised by Sir Isaac Newton before he turned 26.
Newton is more impactful because he worked from scratch, providing a baseline of thought that Einstein had to build upon.

He laid the foundation of modern physics, Don't compare them

[quote author=Coolboy009 post=139449335][/quote]How many people believe Jesus? Subtract the Chinese, Indians and Jews!

In actual sense with regards to the population of Earth, people who believe Jesus are few.

Jackson was accepted across tribes, religion, ethnic groups, race and gender. His influence was one of a kind.

Good work on the research but you don't compare and measure Jesus Christ with any mortal human being please. He is a Messier and the creator of the people you measured him Jesus is Lord

Clear. No need of saying a thing. It’s their views & opinions..

If I am to pen down my own list, Jesus / Muhaamed wouldn’t be there cuz both never existed. They were all fairytales..
O really?
Jesus was never a fairy tale.
But don't take my word for it, wait till you take your last breath.

That you're disenchanted with Muhammad and Islam doesn't have anything to do with the Lord Jesus Christ.


You still have the chance to read the Bible for yourself and get to know and receive Jesus Christ.

Believe me or not, every know will bow to Him! Now or I'm the hereafter.

Jesus Christ died for Michael Jackson which no one can do amongst the people he compared Jesus Christ with . This comparism is very wrong, Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior to mankind and Messiah
