From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jesus of Nazareth (7–2 BC/BCE — 26–36 AD/CE), also known as Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity and is
revered by most Christian churches as the Son of God and the incarnation of God. Islam considers Jesus a prophet,
and he is an important figure in several other religions. Judaism rejects the claim that Jesus is the Messiah foretold in the Hebrew Bible.
The principal sources of information regarding Jesus' life and teachings are the four canonical gospels, especially the Synoptics,
though some scholars argue that other texts (such as the Gospel of Thomas) are as relevant as the canonical gospels to the historical
Jesus. Most critical scholars in the fields of history and biblical studies believe that some parts of the ancient texts on Jesus are useful
for reconstructing his life, agreeing that Jesus was a Galilean Jew who was regarded as a teacher and healer. They also generally accept
that he was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman Prefect of Judaea Pontius Pilate,
on the charge of sedition against the Roman Empire.Aside from these few conclusions, academic studies remain inconclusive about the
chronology, the central message of Jesus' preaching, his social class, cultural environment, and religious orientation.
Scholars offer competing descriptions of Jesus as the awaited Messiah, as a self-described Messiah, as the leader of an apocalyptic
movement, as an itinerant sage, as a charismatic healer, and as the founder of an independent religious movement.
Christian views of Jesus (see also Christology) center on the belief that Jesus is divine, is the Messiah whose coming was prophesied in the
Old Testament, and that he was resurrected after his crucifixion. Christians predominantly believe that Jesus
is the "Son of God" (generally meaning that he is God the Son, the second person in the Trinity), who came to provide salvation and reconciliation
with God by his death for their sins. Other Christian beliefs include Jesus' virgin birth, performance of miracles, ascension into Heaven,
and a future Second Coming. While the doctrine of the Trinity is widely accepted by Christians, a small minority
instead hold various nontrinitarian beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus.
In Islam, Jesus (Arabic: عيسى, commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God's important prophets, a bringer of scripture, and a worker of miracles.
Jesus is also called "Messiah", but Islam does not teach that he was divine. Islam denies the death and resurrection of Jesus, believing
instead that he ascended bodily to heaven.
Jesus was condemned to crucifixions because he preach the TRUTH!
If someone tells the truth, he will be deemed as racist, troll and starts calling the person with all sort of names.
They even make a thread calling "NO to that said person"
