How would you know the REAL MESSIAH had you lived in His day?

they knew Him because He knew them

the false messiahs do not KNOW those they attempt to deceive

He made sence in his words in a screwed up time.

lots of deceivers make "sense"
but the end result is death

Like any salesman, it's all about the pitch, and about closing the deal... Jesus wasn't overtly "selling", of course, but apparently some did buy into his message, and it did create a "buzz". After all, his job was simple - God sent him down here to bring him back an entire species of souls to fill up Heaven. Jesus delivered, in a big way... his operation has carried on for two thousand years, and is STILL steamrolling along!

Yeah, Jesus was a damn good salesman alright. But God had all the ideas - Jesus just did the dirty work.

I hate salesmen.

We know nothing of "Jesus" but one thing remaining....his words....or not.

The words are all true and I do not mind accepting the word as from Jesus...for it was once said unto the desciples when they praised his powers, "EVEN YOU CAN DO MORE THAN I IF YOU JUST HAVE THE FAITH." ALL TRUTH !

Then there was in the writings that the one called Jesus was not an egotist...and this also sounds of truth. Any man who considers himself greater than the least of us is a false human being.

The ego can be of help at times of uncertainty....but it is the "knowledge" of the truths that make us wise and certain.

IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO JESUS OR ANY OTHER GREAT LEADER OF MEN WHO LEARNS WISDOM FROM WHAT OR FROM WHOM...SO LONG AS WE LEARN IT.

you would have recognized him by his "glowing" head.

next question.

so you would have accepted some barefoot hippie's admonition to sell all your goods and give the money to the poor??

no way

what if jeesus is a short asian girl with large breasts ?
