I would really like to be in to Jesus and that, why does it have to be made up?

Its very annoying, Jesus is quite a cool guy, Its really frustrating that the entire religion appears to be fabricated by roman aristocrats and there is little to no evidence to say he was even alive in the first place. Even if he was alive and was connected to God, its almost certain that he was a profit (like the Muslims claim) rather than actually God (like the Christians claim).

    The Bible itself is the principal evidence that Jesus Christ is a historical person. The record in the Gospels is not a vague narrative of events at some unspecified time and in an unnamed location. It clearly states time and place in great detail. For an example, see Luke 3:1, 2, 21-23.

    The first-century Jewish historian Josephus referred to the stoning of “James, the brother of Jesus who was called the Christ.” (The Jewish Antiquities, Josephus, Book XX, sec. 200) A direct and very favorable reference to Jesus, found in Book XVIII, sections 63, 64, has been challenged by some who claim that it must have been either added later or embellished by Christians; but it is acknowledged that the vocabulary and the style are basically those of Josephus, and the passage is found in all available manuscripts.

    Tacitus, a Roman historian who lived during the latter part of the first century C.E., wrote: “Christus [Latin for “Christ”], from whom the name [Christian] had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus.”—The Complete Works of Tacitus (New York, 1942), “The Annals,” Book 15, par. 44.

    With reference to early non-Christian historical references to Jesus, The New Encyclopædia Britannica states: “These independent accounts prove that in ancient times even the opponents of Christianity never doubted the historicity of Jesus, which was disputed for the first time and on inadequate grounds by several authors at the end of the 18th, during the 19th, and at the beginning of the 20th centuries.”—(1976), Macropædia, Vol. 10, p. 145.

    The man who wrote the book on evidence would disagree with you. His name is Simon Greenleaf. He was a law professor at Harvard and one of the founders of Harvard Law School. He authored a 3-volume work called Treatise on the Law of Evidence. It's still the definitive reference in the classroom and courtroom 160 years after its publication. Greenleaf used this to examine the testimonies of the four Gospel writers and judged them to be truthful and accurate beyond a reasonable doubt. By their own testimony Jesus of Nazareth is God in the flesh, He was crucified, died, was buried and rose again three days later. Greenleaf was an atheist turned evangelist. His findings are detailed in his work: Testimony of the Evangelists which is available online at http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/jesu...

    The muslims DON'T understand the TRINITY.

    If you understand then THE CONCEPT OF MAN, you'll understand why Jesus is God.

    The MAN composed of THE BODY, SOUL and SPIRIT. These THREE are 1.

    However if you study the bible, youd find Roman Catholism to be SATANIC and the orchestra of the many controversies in Christianity. It's a counterfeit and intellectually designed to fight the Body of CHRIST and lead many astray.

    Xtians, like Muslims, mistranslated someone else's scripture to perpetuate what they already believed.

    Xtians added hell and evil beings to the Jewish TaNaKh and have no idea what Judaism teaches. Muslims added more evil beings and sexualized a mythological heaven.

    Paul taught an invisible jesus (hallucination) that lived through paul - teaching he (paul) was jesus incarnate. Later Xtians wrote about a jesus that never lived. Anyway, paul was greek, the original xtian writings are greek, the original xtian bible is greek, the name jesus has the suffix sus. greeks professing knowledge about mangod mythology - shocker!

    Meanwhile, the Jewish TaNaKh used mythology from Babylon as cover to preserve Jewish teaching. Xtians added mythology (weeds) so it choked the word - obliterated the real meaning.

    Judaism teaches reality (tree of life) is God's kingdom, but that God is a complete mystery.

    Israel is the only obedient son of all God's children, not a mangod.

    Jesus himself claimed he was on the same level as God. More than a prophet.

    There is lots of evidence for the credibility of the gospels as historical witness accounts.

    http://uncover.org.uk/

    Jesus most probably existed, and was either God (as he claimed he was) or he was a liar, or he was completely insane.

    Your opinion is entirely up to you, but remember opinions never necessarily reflect the absolute truth.

    The Mormon church has a fresh slant on many Christian ideas, made practical by a prophet today and modern revelation = new evidence.

    It isn't made up. Each person has their own interpretation of this person and the life they lead.Simple.Keep researching for yourself to find out more about him.One key is to keep an open mind about life.

    I love to destroy atheism.

    Here's easy proof that evolution is a joke..don't be conned by atheists.

    Probability and Order Versus Evolution

    by Henry Morris, Ph.D.

    One of the strongest direct evidences for special creation is the existence of innumerable highly complex systems in the universe, systems composed of components occurring in a pattern of "order" rather than disorder. Creationists maintain that highly ordered systems could not arise by chance, since random processes generate disorder rather than order, simplicity rather than complexity and confusion instead of "information."

    For example, consider a series of ten flash cards, numbered from one to ten. If these are thoroughly and randomly mixed, and then laid out successively in a linear array along the table, it would be extremely unlikely that the numbers would fall out in order from one to ten. Actually, there are 3,628,800 different ways in which these numbers could be arranged, so that the "probability" of this particular ordered arrangement is only one in 3,628,800. (This number is "ten factorial," written as 10!, and can be calculated simply by multiplying together all the numbers from one to ten.)

    It is obvious that the probability of such a numerically ordered arrangement decreases rapidly as the number of components increases. For any linear system of 100 components in specified order, the probability is one in 100!, or one chance in 10158 (a number represented by "one followed by 158 zeroes").

    A system requiring such a high degree of order could never happen by chance. This follows from the fact that probability theory only applies to systems with a finite possibility of occurring at least once in the universe, and it would be inconceivable that 10158 different trials could ever be made in our entire space-time universe.

    Astro-physicists estimate that there are no more than 1080 infinitesimal "particles" in the universe, and that the age of the universe in its present form is no greater than 1018 seconds (30 billion years). Assuming each particle can participate in a thousand billion (1012) different events every second (this is impossibly high, of course), then the greatest number of events that could ever happen (or trials that could ever be made) in all the universe throughout its entire history is only 1080 x 1018 x 1012, or 10110 (most authorities would make this figure much lower, about 1050). Any event with a probability of less than one chance in 10110, therefore, cannot occur. Its probability becomes zero.

    Thus, the above-suggested ordered arrangement of 100 components has a zero probability. It could never happen by chance. Since every single living cell is infinitely more complex and ordered than this, it is impossible that even the simplest form of life could ever have originated by chance. Even the simplest replicating protein molecule that could be imagined has been shown by Golay1 to have a probability of one in 10450. Salisbury2 calculates the probability of a typical DNA chain to be one in 10600.

    There are only 10 to the 82nd power atoms in the entire universe. You can see what a joke evolution is..numbers don't lie.

    You've been listening to too many atheist professors. Use your own brain for a change, and do your own research.

    "Jesus is quite a cool guy"

    The Magic Jeebus Man never had a real job. Also, Jeebus was a creationist (aka uneducated moron).

    I think you meant "prophet", not "profit".
