Think before answering....?

What if it is not? I have studied the NT and other Christian writings extensively and I think if he existed at all he was a temperamental itinerant rabbi who hated organized religion almost as much as he hated Rome.

What a horror that would be.

In Luke 18 we're told one must sell all their possessions and give to the poor. There's a problem with that, where do the possessions go? Somebody else owns them. According to Jesus you cannot get to heaven if you own anything. They have to sell. But if you cannot own anything nobody will buy anything. If nobody owns, buys, or sells anything there is no wealth. All are poor. There's nobody to give anything to anyone. Then once you are rid of all possessions you are told to follow him. But in Luke 14 we learn you cannot be a disciple unless you hate your family and yourself. Yet elsewhere Jesus says we should honor our parents. How can you love and hate your parents at the same time? Then there's the stuff about drinking blood and eating flesh. Even if we suppose that is allegorical it adds to the rules about getting into heaven. In Matthew we're told to be like little children, critical thinking is abhorred. But also in Matthew we're told we must surpass the Pharisees in law or we cannot get to heaven. The Pharisees were following all 600 some laws in the old testament. Little children certainly cannot follow nor understand all these laws. 100 of those laws deal with animal sacrifice. I have a difficult enough time following local ordinances let alone 600+ bible laws. And I'm quite sure there are local laws against animal sacrifice. Since each time Jesus was asked about getting into heaven he gave different answers he might be schizophrenic. Should we believe it when he says we should mutilate ourselves, cutting off body parts that cause us to sin? And this is the son of god, in charge of everything?

I guess, if everything Jesus said does happen to be true, I would have many questions for him. I would ask Jesus why God created the original humans with the inherent genetic ability to contract horrible diseases and genetic deformities? I would ask how such a perfect entity could create such an imperfect existence? I would ask for an extensive explanation as to why he had to die for our sins? And many more questions. But sadly, I would never get to ask any of these questions, as I would probably be going straight to hell.

I have doubts over some of the things attributed to Jesus. There is a passage in one of the gospels when Jesus talks of bringing people before the church. There was no church in Jesus' time. Even long after the christian religion was considered a sect of the Jewish religion.

Jesus also showed the emotions of a man such as anger when he overturned the tables at the temple. He also called the disciples idiots and dull when they asked for meanings of the parables. He also had to fight temptations like any man. He could also have let emotions get to him at other stages.

That doesn't diminish his message of love for me though. It just shows me that he was real.

Then everything he said would be true, and I would still love my neighbor, and he would still turn the other cheek, and I would still have lived my life the right way.

But, what if everything he said was false?

The same, these things shouldn't matter if you live your life to the fullest, atheist, Christian, or Muslim.

Well, since it is regardless what we wish to believe or not. Some things are just true rather we chose to follow or not follow. BUT, since it iissss true!!! I can't wait to go up there and give BIG Daddy a hug and tell him I love Him :)

Oh and thank Him for my baby boy :)

For the record all the people the "dislike" every person that follows our Father, you really need to think about "what if everything Jesus said is true" and be thankful he loves you anyway, regardless how shallow, ignorant, and SHAMEFUL you all are. Maybe you should turn your hearts to God and see how brighter your lives are, and what bad habits you drop and see life can be heaven or it can be Hell.

Well, since Jesus said that if any man heard his words and didn't believe, he would not judge them, then I don't have anything to worry about.

John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

"What if" questions are useless, since the "if" part is usually very much unlikely to ever be the caes, as in this instance.

About Islam in other Holy Books:

Criterion of the Prophet by Jermiah

Jermiah 28:9: “The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that Lord hath truly sent him.”

The word “Islam” also signifies and means(in English) Tranquility, Peace.Peace between the Creator and his creation. This Prophecy cannot be applied to Jesus, as he himself stated that he didn’t come for peace: “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on Earth? I tell you, Nay;but rather division: For from henceforth there will be five in one house divided, three against two and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.” See also Matthew 10: 34-36.

-Blessed are the Peacemakers

In his sermon on the mount Jesus was quoted as saying(Matthew 5:9): “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”

Islam means also Peace: peace between the Creator and the worshiper. Jesus could not mean his mission as peacemaker as he did not come for peace. (Matthew 10:34-36):”Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.”See also Luke 12:49-53

-Until Shiloh Come

This was a message of Jacob to his children before he died.(Genesis 49:1) “And Jacob called unto his sons,and said,Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.”

Genesis 49:10: “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come: and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.”

Shiloh’s real meaning in peace, tranquility, rest, i.e., Islam.

So the Israelite Prophet hood in the lineage of Isaac would stop as soon as Shiloh comes. This correspond with the Holy Quran, Chapter 2:133: “Were you witnesses when death came to Jacob? When he said to his sons, ‘What will you worship after me?’ They said ‘We shall worship your God,(Allah),the God of your fathers Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac, One God and to Him we surrender(Islam)”.

SO? Wouldn't change that fact that I believe that he was just a man who lived a long time ago.

Prophets only spoke the truth, so everything Jesus said was true.

What Christians say about him, is not true.
