There should be many different responses. Could be because you fear NOT to belief in him.
Could be cause he made a lot of sense or no one has impacted the world more...
Ideas about him would vary -he is the Son of God, He was sent here on a mission, he is not the son of God, just a good teacher...and so on.
What is your general take on him.

The point, then, in this thread is, also -How come? Why? What makes you think this about Jesus.
It would be great to include if you have had a direct exp of Jesus, himself.
Thanks

What is your belief or opinion or idea about Jesus? How come?

Jesus gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify to Himself a peculiar people fit for the Kingdom of God.

He's God the Son, the 2nd person of the Trinity, incarnate. He's the Savior and good shepherd of all that trust in him.

You should see the Lord here, there are demon spirit that come around here, and God just gave here a new Word of God when they come around ..... God said pray `` you spirit here, go home in Jesus mighty name `` and the demons here look like they are going through a windstorm as God rips them out of sight in the spirit in seconds `Gory to God` ..... No mercy for these murderous spirits to God ...... I do pray for no demons, but God is giving baby steps here .... God also said to pray ``these spirits are gone for good ``, as God promises that the same demons will never come back, as God confirms His Word with `His Word will never come back to Him empty ``........ See God did not respond to the name of Jehovah, or Yahweh, but God responds to His Son Jesus

Scripture says Jesus was God the Father who came to give a warning to Israel about accepting the prophets whom they basically dismissed. He came as a prophet whom He called His Son. He in effect came in disguise because He was tired of Israel not heeding His words from the prophets. He left until the prophets are accepted and His word is embraced by the masses.

No, scripture does not say that Jesus was God the Father. Jesus is clearly distinguished from God the Father even before his incarnation. Jesus himself stated that he was with the Father before the world was - simply read John 17:5. Since he was WITH the Father, then he was NOT the Father.

I, too, believe He was a very advanced Jewish mystic who divinely understood the spiritual content uniquely encoded in the Torah as opposed to the worldly or carnal understanding that was dominant at the time (and still is within Judaism, IMO).

To Miss H., you know I encountered the consciousness of God in deep meditation and recognized that the descriptions of Jesus, especially His attitude toward the scourging and crucifixion, EXACTLY matched the consciousness I encountered. That was enough for me to accept Him as the one who possessed the "mind of God." That is why I stress learning about the "mind of Christ" if you want to know the "mind of God."
