JESUS SAVES Y'ALL crying

~♥~

No not really I just hate the religion in general.......i mean in all the times i spent in a building I could have been sharpening my skills in other more worth while things.

If anything he was ******** selfish by killing himself just to get into a series of books a bunch of people (Who i do not belong to anymore) hold 'sacred'

See you guys go by what the recent bible tells of him but you have to research deeper within the tale of this "man", that's right, he was a man. In the original scriptures it speaks of a man that only spoke and didn't perform these awesome miracles. The miracles were added after Emperor Constantine rewrote it, also the first testament was a mixture of different documents and scriptures written by other people. The truth that we know so far about this "man" was that he spoke a teaching and in turn was punished for making the people follow him...in almost every scripture speaks of him talking of peace and love. He never did come with a religion because he was a Jew, then what's terrible is that the modern Christian community blame the Jewish people for killing him when in turn was only a few. Again, look into these matters before you judge because in reality, we know nothing about this man and what he did.

It's how things are, you tell a tale and it spreads but it changes. He never came with a religion for he was already a Jew, also his message was pure and good. People just changed it around to put fear into peoples hearts and to take advantage of others, for example: The Crusades, The recent wars where people are sacrificing themselves to take away thousands of lives. Humanity will always be in eternal limbo but that doesn't change the fact that doing the right thing can slow down the destruction of this world.

I agree with Zei-chan and The Saint on this. Jesus was a really awesome guy with an amazing message: care about others. Many religions--not just Christianity--worship him just for how wise and kind he was. He cared as much about a prostitute as he did a king, and he honestly believed in what he did. Cool guy. I'd be friends with him.

I'm not actually sure what religion I am. I mean, I was raised in a Church of Christ, and I believe that the Bible is not only a wonderful historical text, but also a good book of lessons on how to better care for your fellow man. I also believe in things that aren't mentioned in the Bible. I talk to God, and he talks back, in a way.

Lately, I'd been worrying about money for college. I took the time to say "Hey, I have a problem, Big Guy" and the next week the University sent me a letter to confirm that I wanted the $12 thousand scholarship they'd just approved me for. Little faith goes a long way.

I'm not saying it's THE religion, but it's my belief, and it works for me. Overall, Jesus is cool. If you don't agree, that's fine too.
