Jesus of Nazareth (c 4 BC/BCE – c 30 AD/CE)—also known as Jesus Christ or occasionally Jesus the Christ—is the central figure of Christianity. Within most Christian denominations Jesus is venerated as the Son of God and as God incarnate. Christians also view him as the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament; however, Judaism rejects these claims. Islam considers Jesus a prophet and also the Messiah 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. Theologian and bishop Lesslie Newbigin says "the whole of Christian teaching would fall to the ground if it were the case that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus were not events in real history but stories told to illustrate truths which are valid apart from these happenings." Christians do 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 accepted by most Christians, a few groups reject the doctrine of the Trinity, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. 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 without experiencing the crucifixion and resurrection, rather than the traditional Christian belief of the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Why would they then? They have always held onto their beliefs that Jesus wasn't the messiah. So, who was Jesus supposed to have convinced of his authenticity? Only other people in the area at the time were the Romans. Asked by Bubbles - Tue Oct 27 15:43:55 2009 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments A. That's why Paul took the revamped, pagan-influenced version of that religion to the Gentiles, where they welcomed it. Jesus was one of many proclaimed "messiahs" of that era who simply failed to fulfill the Jewish prophecies, period. Answered by The Living Anne - Tue Oct 27 15:55:56 2009 What would Jesus say about the factors that lead to immigration? Q. I am neither Christian nor non-Christian. My question is not so much about "Jesus" as it is about spirituality in general in the US. Do you feel the popular prevailing views on immigration are balanced? Are they compassionate? What would the world's great spiritual leaders have to say about the inequalities that lead to lack of opportunity in our neighboring countries; as well as to genocide, poverty, and infant mortality? Finally, what is the role of the individual in all of this?

Q. of the temple was torn from top to bottom. Matthew 27:50-51 (New International Version) 50And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. 51At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

Christ is our High Priest and advocate in heaven. Heb. 2:17, 18 17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation (satisfying God's wrath) for the sins of the people. 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid (have sympathy) those who are tempted. I Tim. 2:5, 6 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, Christ became our High Priest and advocate seated at the right hand of God.
