However, after an early brainstorming stage, and despite being non-believers, they agreed that Jesus was " definitely a good guy " and found nothing to mock in his actual teachings: " He's not particularly funny, what he's saying isn't mockable, it's very decent stuff ..." said Idle later.

Additionally, Clasquin said the fact that even Priest Maxi recognizes Jesus as " that guy from the public access show " demonstrates that even the supposedly most religious people are not always the most open to genuine religious experiences.

John 3: 16 says that only those that accept Jesus will be given eternal life, so the people that do not accept him cannot burn in hell for eternity because Jesus has not given them eternal life, instead it says they will perish.

Furthermore, Wesley did not teach a salvation by perfection, but rather says that, " Even perfect holiness is acceptable to God only through Jesus Christ.

This geographic structure is foreshadowed in Acts 1: 8, where Jesus says " You shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem ( chs.

In the same narrative, Jesus says, " in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial " ( Id., v. 12 ), linking the unction with Christ's death and resurrection.

Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus, a Pharisee described as " a ruler of the Jews ", who says that, because of his miracles, Jesus is known " to be a teacher come from God ".

Although the Bible never says " Jesus is God ", trinity based theology summarily claims: " Jesus Christ was fully God and fully man in one person, and will be so forever.

In Jesus says, " All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

While the origin of Easter eggs can be explained in the symbolic terms described above, a sacred tradition among followers of Eastern Christianity says that Mary Magdalene was bringing cooked eggs to share with the other women at the tomb of Jesus, and the eggs in her basket miraculously turned brilliant red when she saw the risen Christ.

In this passage Jesus says that an offended Christian should draw the offender's fault to his attention at first privately ; then, if the offender refuses to listen, to bring one or two others, that there may be more than a single witness to the charge ; next, if the offender still refuses to listen, to bring the matter before the church, and if the offender refuses to listen to the church, to treat him as " a Gentile and a tax collector ".

The New Testament says that this forgiveness is given if one accepts Jesus Christ as his or her Lord and Savior ( John 3: 16 ).

* It has Jesus sailing across the Sea of Galilee to Nazareth – which is actually inland ; and from thence going " up " to Capernaum – which is actually on the lakeside ( chapters 20-21 ); though this is contested by Blackhirst, who says that the traditional location of Nazareth is itself questionable.

Robinson wrote that, where the Gospel narrative accounts can be checked for consistency with surviving material evidence, the account in the Gospel of John is commonly the more plausible ; that it is generally easier to reconcile the various synoptic accounts within John's narrative framework, than it is to explain John's narrative within the framework of any of the synoptics ; and that, where in the Gospel Jesus and his disciples are described as travelling around identifiable locations, the trips in question can always be plausibly followed on the ground, which he says is not the case for any synoptic Gospel.

In favor of the later dating of the synoptics, Geza Vermes says that this event provides a clear context and pretext for Jesus ' arrest, trial and execution.

Robinson says that all three Synoptic accounts explain the reluctance of the Temple authorities to arrest Jesus on the spot, as being due to their fear of popular support for John the Baptist.

I believe, therefore, that we are without exception sinners, by nature alienated from God, and that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to earth, the representative Head of a new race, to die upon the cross and pay the penalty of the sin of the world, and that he who thus receives Christ as his personal Saviour is `` born again '' spiritually, with new privileges, appetites, and affections, destined to live and grow in His likeness forever.

When that fear has been removed by faith in Jesus Christ, when we know that He is our Savior, that He has paid our debt with His blood, that He has met the demands of God's justice and thus has turned His wrath away -- when we know that, we have peace with God in our hearts ; ;

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.

" When Jesus the Christ, who is the Word and the Bread of Life, comes a second time, the righteous will be raised incorruptible and will be taken in the clouds to meet their Lord.

"--- what Jesus ’ immortal spirit did after His death and before His Resurrection is a mystery to all but the Latter-day Saints ---" ( Elder Spencer J.

" Arianism " is also often used to refer to other nontrinitarian theological systems of the 4th century, which regarded Jesus Christ — the Son of God, the Logos — as either a created being ( as in Arianism proper and Anomoeanism ), or as neither uncreated nor created in the sense other beings are created ( as in Semi-Arianism ).
