Who was Jesus in your opinion?

It is historically ignorant to assume he did not exist.

The evidence needed for the existence of Jesus, in historical context is simply that needed for a poor 1st century Jewish carpenter who tried to preach religious reform and died a criminal's death. This wasn't that uncommon in the day. If you contrast the evidence that exists for Jesus to the likes of Hannibal, you'll be surprised at how well-attested Jesus is.

Having said that, he was most likely a political agitator. He was less of a teacher but more akin to a delusional radical reformer. He probably wasn't really trying to start a new religion, simply reform his current one.

I am pretty sure his real name was Brian and he always looked on the bright side of life

A very good man for it's time. An also black with black eyes. There was no way he cold be caucasian.

@flashback0180: Not Bait unless you choose to look it that way. Not trying to get people to argue so much as just vote. If they want to debate then they are free to do so.

Jesus was Caucasian. Caucasian does not necessarily mean white skinned. North Indians and Middle-Eastern people are Caucasian.

He wasn't white, but he wasn't white either. He was olive-skinned.

Most likely something correlating to option 2. He could be connected somehow to a god. I do not know. But there is honestly nothing in history to suggest that, but I will not argue that point.

But after B. C. everyone became delusional honestly; brainwashed from people who sought attention and political leaders. Same thing.

L. D.

Just some random guy trying to preach religion

@frozen: There is a difference between saying there is evidence and that it was likely for a person to have existed in those conditions.

Yes, I know.

The evidence needed for someone like Jesus isn't that much; that evidence happens to exist.

lol

He was the Prophet of God.

Jesus is God.

Radical religious nut-job.

LOL!

According to the historical record, he was a Jewish carpenter, raised as the son of a carpenter who traveled around with disciples and preached the tennents of what would eventually become Christianity. He was later arrested by Roman authorities for heretical beliefs and crucified by his fellow Jews as punishment.

A symbol of perfection.

He was probably a real person with some good ideas of peace and tolerance and never professed to be divine. After he died, his followers took bits of mythology, combined them with his message and turned him into a god.

Actually, it's not. Writing is not concrete proof of anything existing, nor is word of mouth.

Science fiction.

He never existed

He is just a prophet. He is not son of god. Also I believe Jesus PBUH do not like cross because cross is a tool that try to kill him, so why must he like cross. For example a nuclear bomb is a device that try to kill you, why must you like nuclear bomb

The son of God.

Jesus is the Son of God as portrayed in the Gospels; he clearly existed based on having the strongest historical evidence supporting Him in comparison to people from ancient antiquity.

Actually, given that Jesus lead a ministry is testament to Jesus being wealthy rather than poor. Jesus didn't try to preach religious reform form He did preach religious reform given the effects of His prior existence after His resurrection; no one else has anything close to the historical impact as Jesus. If such was common at His time, all others are clearly relegated to historical obscurity; the only reason that there is a claim that what Jesus did is common is because atheists have popularized some obscure wishful thinking that failed to dilute the historical existence of Jesus; most historians of antiquity do not claim that Jesus's style or leadership practice was common and very few people take such a claim seriously. Jesus has the strongest historical evidence supporting His existence than any other figure from ancient antiquity. Additionally, I'm so confident in my statement given the information in the New Testament of the Bible. So far, no one has credibly challenged the authenticity or believability of the Bible; with such being the case, any challenges to the claims made about Jesus comes across as a bitter joke. Jesus is clearly far more noted for His ministry than His past as a carpenter.

Given what the Bible says about Jesus and Jesus's impact on history, lone claims that Jesus was delusional is what is delusional; that's just a wishful fantasy that will never come into fruition, no matter how many times people like you want to repeat it. He clearly wanted to start a new religion given what the end of the four Gospel say by fulfilling Judaism; nothing can be any more clear of this than telling His follows to implement the Great Commission.

He most likely existed.

Prove that he existed by showing us reliable evidence.

Otherwise, keep that crap to yourselves.

A pretty cool guy.
