I tried to get an answer to these in another thread, but they were brushed aside. To be fair, they were not the topic, so I have started a new topic here. For those who have the courage of their convictions, they may answer. Others may choose not to, and that is fine. Since Jesus is the most central topic (it I were to rank them in order of importance - my opinion) from Genesis to Revelation, it might be beneficial to note some of the more noteworthy claims that have been made about him. 

It might me better if this were in the theology section, and it may well get moved there, but for now it will start here. I extend a special invitation to @DaDaBro , since it was in a thread of his that this came up, but anyone is welcome to participate. Mind you, there are some meaty issues here that some will take objection to and tempted to debate vigorously, that is okay, but please, if you are a Christian (any of you, and you do not have to be to participate) then take Peters' words to heart in your responses:

 15but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.

The questions I posed concerning the person of Jesus are:

1 Is Jesus of Nazareth the Messiah?

2 Was Jesus born to a virgin Jewish woman?

3 Did Jesus live a sinless life?

4 Did Jesus eat meat?

5 Did Jesus assist men in catching 'innocent' fishes?

6 Did Jesus give up His life to die a gruesome death where His innocent blood was shed for the salvation of those who have sinned against God?

7 Did Jesus after dying, lie in a grave (tomb) and then days later, rise from the dead in a body?

8 Did Jesus ascend to the right hand of God where all judgment has been given to Him?

9 Will Jesus come again to earth?

10 Did Jesus participate in the creation?

11 Did Jesus exists as the Word of God in the beginning who came to the world to live and die as a man we know as Jesus of Nazareth?

 

Feel free to pass on 4 and 5, they were relevant in the original thread where these questions were asked.

 

What do you all think?

On questions 1-11: Yes!

If you do not hearken to the Word of the LORD you will not hearken to me. You want a yes or no, just so they cut my tongue. And there is no point in responding, if you reject the Law of the LORD so will you reject anything I say. 

Ezekiel 3:7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.

You don't want to know the answer. 

Fish For Everyone:

Mat 15:34  Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."
Mat 15:36  And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude.

Are all answered by a reading of the new testament or by talking with your pastor.

It would help if you explained why you were asking these questions.

That's all right. When I raised Salt Water Fish for a time...the last thing I thought of was innocence   when a Lion Fish ate one one of the new arrivals. LOL

Ah yes, pterois volitans, move slowly, open mouth, fish disappears!

Well, I am not asking, because I a curious about Jesus, it is just an opportunity for others to express what they believe, be counted, and for some (perhaps watching, not participating) to learn.

People have differences of opinions. Sometimes the opinions lead to divisions.

YES 

and if eating fish was evil then why did Jesus choose fishermen to follow Him and tell them where to cast their nets ?

These are very simple questions to answer. The answer to every single one of them is YES. If you need scripture for any of them,  please let me know. God Bless.

just because they breath air means He blew life into them as He did man. 

It's not "just because they breath air" that is not what it says.

Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

-It is because of their "spirit", the living soul from the Father, the source of all life.

There is a potential problem here, not unique to this thread, but since I see it here, I will address it here.

I think we all know, that when we quote a scripture, and leave out the context, it can seem to say something it is not trying to say. The same thing can occur where we quote each other. For the sake of illustration, I am going to use a recent example from this thread. Consider the following screenshot:

Notice that OneLight is quoted as saying:

"just because they breath air means He blew life into them as He did man."

It is absolutely true the Onelight said that, that is an accurate quote. One could read that and conclude that OneLight is alleging that if an animal breathes air, then God breathed a spirit into the animal, just as God breathed a spirit into man.

While that is an accurate quote, it is NOT a complete quote, it is missing context. Following we see more of the context:

 

There above, you can see the full quote of what OneLight said. He was not making the point that God gave animals a spirit just as He did man, OneLight is saying that he understand DaDaBro to be making that assertion in earlier posts.

Now, if the full context had been given, then people can see what is really being said. Using a truncated quote, can easily lead to false conclusions.

Let's be careful in our quoting of others and of scripture to include enough to see what is being said. We do not need misunderstandings.

I need to point out, that I am NOT saying the DaDaBro did anything malicious or deceptive here, it could just be a case of not taking the time to do the best he could have done.

I hope all of this is clear, and we can learn some lessons.

While I am at it, I want to say also, that when I created this thread, I knew there would be some contention. I think that it is just our fallen human nature, that wherever there is truth, there will be objections to it, and lack of understanding. Let's try to minimize that. Clarity can help a lot!

Finally, I would like to say that although there is some disagreement about the things in this thread ( as I knew there would be), that people have done a good job at keeping level heads and being courteous and respectful. Thank you!
