    Jesus is nothing more than a character in a fairy tale.

    Primary difference is his bodily resurrection from the dead. Without that he is just one in a long line of other religious people.

    He is completely unique.
    Other leaders show you the way to enlightenment. Show you how you can achieve Nirvana, show you how you can be at peace, others show you truth.
    Jesus IS peace, Jesus IS enlightenment, Jesus is light, Jesus Is hope, Jesus is the way the truth and the life.

    He is the only, unique Son of God
    He is eternal. He existed from eternity past, He exists in the present, and He will exist for all eternity in the future (John 1:1-3, 14; John 8:58).

    3. Jesus alone is the One who bore our sins so that we could have forgiveness and be saved from them (Isaiah 53; Matthew 1:21; John 1:29; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Corinthians 15:1-3).

    4. Jesus is the only Way to the Father (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5); there is no other way to salvation. He is the only righteous One who exchanged that perfect righteousness for our sin (2 Corinthians 5:21).

    5. Jesus alone had power over His own death and the ability take back His life again (John 2:19; 10:17-18). Note: His resurrection was not a “spiritual” one, but was physical (Luke 24:39). His resurrection from the dead, never to die again, distinguished Him as the unique Son of God (Romans 1:4).

    6. Jesus alone accepted worship as an equal with the Father (John 20:28-29; Philippians 2:6), and indeed God the Father states that the Son is to be honored as He is honored (John 5:23). All others, whether Jesus’ disciples or angelic beings, rightly reject that worship (Acts 10:25-26; Acts 14:14-15; Matthew 4:10; Revelation 19:10; 22:9).

    7. Jesus has the power to give life to whom He will (John 5:21).

    8. The Father has committed all judgment to Jesus (John 5:22).

    9. Jesus was with the Father and directly involved in the creation, and it is by His hand that all things are held together (John 1:1-3; Ephesians 3:9; Hebrews 1:8-10; Colossians 1:17).

    10. It is Jesus who will rule the world at the end of this present age (Hebrews 1:8; Isaiah 9:6-7; Daniel 2:35, 44; Revelation 19:11-16).

    11. Jesus alone was born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:20-23; Luke 1:30-35).

    12. It is Jesus who demonstrated that He had the attributes of God [e.g., the power to forgive sins and heal the sick (Matthew 9:1-7); to calm the wind and waves (Mark 4:37-41; Psalm 89:8-9); to know us, being perfectly acquainted with us (Psalm 139; John 1:46-50; 2:23-25), to raise the dead (John 11; Luke 7:12-15; 8:41-55), etc.]

    13. There are a great number of prophecies concerning the Messiah’s birth, life, resurrection, person, and purpose. All were fulfilled by Him and no other (Isaiah 7:14; Micah 5:2; Psalm 22; Zechariah 11:12-13; 13:7; Isaiah 9:6-7; Isaiah 53; Psalm 16:10).

    Clearly some of these hardheaded other people are not Christians.
    As a Christian, I believe Jesus was God manifested in flesh to deliver us from our sins. He is the same because he was human. Yes, Christians know that he was human but they also know that he was God manifested in the Blood of Jesus.

    Jesus is G-d’s only begotten son . He differs from other holy teachers in that His sacrifice and Resurrection reunited us with G-d the Father.

  6. Chris S on January 8th, 2009 2:21 pm

    His miracles, message and sacrifice. Show me something that compares with his “sermon on the mount” as far as virtues are concerned and I’ll reconsider my faith in Christ.

    Christians believe that Jesus is the appearance of God on earth in bodily form. That makes Him a little different from an enlightened teacher.

    There were predictions on Jesus Christ’s birth in the old Testament in the Bible. His miracles performed at a time when some people had no hope and all the Pharisees did was dress up and wanted to be worshiped. Jesus Christ brought love and kindness to the mislead people. Jesus Christ had risen from the dead and he will return, this is what makes him different from the other holy teachers of religion. Learn to read the Bible without treating the Good Book like it is literature. Jesus Christ’s lesson was to LOVE all including our enemies and those who persecuted us.

    During the time Jesus lived, there were literally about a hundred men claiming to be the “Messiah.” Many suffered the same fate that Jesus suffered.

    When this happened, their followers either aligned themselves with another “messiah,” or simply disbanded. You see this starting to happen with Jesus’ disciples after he was buried.

    However, something happened after Jesus died. Something that convinced them that Jesus was who he claimed to be. Something that caused almost all of them to die early deaths.

    He is True God and True Man, the Incarnate Word. That is unique and must be.

    Jesus is God. He is alive forever.

    The questions non Christians and atheists usually ask are:-

    1) Did Jesus really exist?
    2) Is Jesus God?
    3) If Jesus is God, then why did He keep praying to the Father in Heaven? How can the Father and Jesus be one God.? Why did Jesus have to suffer on the Cross?
    4) What is the Holy Spirit?

    It would not be possible to give a short answer to these questions .
