herald, rather than just posting bible verses, how about YOU answer your own question.

Who is Jesus to you?

"A new heart also will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you...and I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments and do them." Ezek 36:26,27.

Forty years ago, I was into the Hippie movement and was very lost. My friend who had been living in a commune came to visit me in college. She was transformed. She and her friend began to share the gospel with me. Along with several other former hippies, they prayed for me and the Lord put His Spirit within me, and I claimed Jesus as my Saviour from sin.

I have healed the sick, cast out demons, and raised one man from the dead, by the power of His Spirit.

My grandparents were from Holland and went to China as missionaries. He was arrested by Mao Tse Tung, put on trial before thousands of communist Chinese. They held a gun to his head and demanded, that, he renounce his faith. Instead, he preached the gospel to them. He was thrown into a dungeon. After some time, he prayed, "Lord, take me home or set me free." That very day, someone came, opened the door and set him free. His wife and children had fled into the wilderness from bandits. They would slit your clothes, looking for jewels, and then kill you. My father said, that, bandits rode up and there was a sound of a bugle and it scared them off. The communists went to every house in their village (except theirs) and killed every foreigner. My father, a pathologist, was very cerebral, but, he knew these were miracles from God. From there, they went to Singapore.

I felt my grandparents prayers, while I was growing up. And, God answered them!

When we are born of His Spirit, He loves us from the inside/out. My children love the Lord, too. And now my grandchildren love Jesus

If you are not born of His Spirit, ask Him to be the Lord of your life, and invite His Spirit to live within you. It's not about religion - a Pope, a church, a priest, a pastor...it's all about a relationship with the living God.

Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3. And that is not baptism - the thief on the cross was not baptized, but Jesus told him he would be with him in Paradise. It is not faith in our works, but, faith in the works of the sinless Lamb of God.

I love Him more than life itself, and look forward to His coming!

"Even so, come Lord Jesus" Rev 22:20

former hippies? I didn't realize that being what some would call a hippie was exclusive to religion. Plenty of the tie-dye wearing, banjo picking, pot growing, bush living, no-shaving, organic eating hippies I know, are Christians. After all, who's a bigger hippy than Jesus?

Maybe I should break the news to them?

gerryh:

How do those who disagree with you qualify as brain dead? That's an awfully mean thing to say for a follower of the "Prince of Peace."

Or is this some kind of reverse psychology evangelism?

That would be satire, gerryh.

So, perhaps more of a funhouse mirror.

Jesus said, "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my Words, hath one that judgeth him: the Word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." John 12:28

He came the first time as the sacrificial Lamb...He is coming back as the judge.

I hope, that, all of you will take Him as your Savior and serve Him as Lord, so that, you will be ready to meet Him.

I'll wait 'til he gets here, maybe then we can find out what he really wants. I very much doubt that a 2000-year old text written by people with an obvious agenda has got it right.

It seems that, he was a real person, but just like any story over time, I'm sure he was much
different than described, and if he came back today and saw the pictures of himself, he
would probably wonder who it was.

I don't think there's much doubt about that. At the time Jesus lived, the Middle East was in a political ferment because of the Roman occupation and repression, and Jesus was only one of many visionaries and apocalyptic prophets and seers around at the time. Monty Python's "The Life of Brian" does a pretty good job of parodying the historical facts, and there's a core of truth in it. In fact there's another person whose authenticity is at least as well attested as Jesus', who's credited with similar miracles, like healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons, and all the rest of it. His name has come down to us as Appolonius of Tyana.

I think it's all wishful and magical thinking myself. Perfectly understandable if you understand anything about human nature, but I don't believe there's any reality to it.
