Moreover, why judge anyone as to pertains to the connection to the Ultimate Spirit which connects all of mankind... Celebrate the differences. It is not as if we are not under enough pressure on this mortal plain... with everything we have to do to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table ... Open the newspaper on line or off, there is a seriously crazy person in power in North Korea who actually owns Nuclear Weapons.
Praise God in all possible ways. Praise the People who love you. Praise your friends, the ones that are brave enough to tell you the truth and the ones that stand by ... and Praise love.
Cupcakes... I don't care for the negative energy.
Peace! The Fish!
And by the way, you spelled Christian wrong.
... Have a bit of respect.

No, Jesus was a Jew and followed many different teachings. Christianity did not get created until after Jesus's death. Jesus actually changed some of the laws as given to Moses, supposedly to clarify them.

Christianity is fairly simple. Jesus Christ is the son of God (the creator of the universe and everything in it). The purpose of Jesus being born to a virgin was to prove that His conception was by God, not man. Jesus came to save the lives of sinners, which he did by being crucified. The Christians believe that by accepting that gift of salvation, acknowledging themselves as sinners (which MOST of us are, but not all), we can open the door to eternal life in Heaven.
I can't personally PROVE to you or anybody else this is the truth (although it is the "gospel" truth). There have been many people who have taken time to research the contents of the Bible and have been able to prove much of what is written. There are also those who feel they've been able to DIS-prove it. In much the same way, I think you would be hard-pressed to give me a list of 124,000 prophets with documentation as to why I should believe that's what they are.
Faith is believing something without having it right under your nose. If I told you I had a quarter in my pocket, but you couldn't see it, you have the choice of believing me (on faith that I'm telling you the truth), or not.

I'll only comment on your quarter-in-your pocket postulation.
If you are hell bent on wanting me to believe you,and the consequences of me believing you are significant, all you need to do is show me the money. Now, I may choose to simply take your word for it. That's what believers do.No evidence,just a choice.
The fact is,if you don't show me,I wouldn't bet my life on that quarter being there.So why,I ask, do believers stake their lives on believing something that has not (and will not) be proven?
We won't know for sure in this life that those promises are true or not, but I believe they are. It's OK if I'm wrong...I'm not losing out on anything HERE because of it, far as I can tell.
