I peronally am a Judasim or otherly called Jewish - I am a thourough believer in Judaism but I know or would like to know the following -
Sorry if this seems a bit out of line -a bit rude to ther religeons but serously I am being perfectly honest because I know little to nothing of Christianity and I have a question or two that hopefully a christian can answer me from one man to another. I am not trying to be rude if these questions baout your religeon come off rude I am not trying to say your religeon is bad but I just was thinking about Christianity and a few things got me a little confused hopefully a christian can answer me -
1# - If you guys believe that Jesus Christ was your god, your messiah so to speak if you christians believe that Jesus is your lord and believe that he was born a jew but died a christain ? How can this possibly be when you guys even say in your Bible that Christianity's existance the name Christianity the reliegeon Christianity started 300 Years after Jesus Christ had passed away - I am not flaming your religeon jsut simply asking a question, ? How can he be born a Jew and die a christian when Christianity was started 300 years after he was crusified?
Again I am sorry if this comes off as FLAMING YOUR RELIGEON I apolagise this is the religeon thread I am just a simple person a simple jewish person that is open to other beliefs and was thinking and has a question...
I'm Muslim, proud to be one.
Islam is often wrongly associated with Terrorim, it's false all behind the media politics... we're generally better than most of the people in this world.
Islam is a religion deeply shadowed in darkness, people need to see the real "light" seriously, half of you don't even know what Islam is... shame.
and im pretty sure that there was christianity before 300 years after his death but they were just called "followers or the way" or "followers of jesus" or something like that. i think around 300 years after jesus's death was when christianity became legal and it began to grow extremely fast throughout the roman empire cause constintine made it legal...
Christianity at that point was mostly praising him as a wise man, but some said he was the son of God. When the Roman Emperer Constantine was on his death bed, he was afraid that he was wrong and that Christianity was right, so he proclaimed Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire. The only written accounts of Jesus' life that weren't destroyed (or hidden), portrayed him in a divine light.

I am Athiest.
The funniest contradiction in religion is "love thy neighbour". Okay, so what if my neighbour is gay? Oh, right, I must shun him.
Great commandment.
I judy eoulf like to point something out on the statement you made "Son of God" I would like to say that it was mis understood by people around that era of time- Jesus was jewish and you guys believe that and when jesus says he is the son of god it is a jewish saying that we are all equal and we are all gods creations no one is better then something else- we are all in this together not him specifically is the son of god he meant we all are.
I'm agnostic, thoughn I adhere to some Confucian and Buddhist values and practices. There's no certainty in anything, which is why I choose agnosticism; I don't want to be antagonistic to any religion or lack thereof, regardless of my feelings. I was once a Catholic, then I became an Atheist, and now I'm agnostic. I realize now there's no way we can ever find the truth in anything (Science can be BS), and faith can fail you.
