Jesus said two family's were his family. He said the family of heaven was his family and it was as God is his father. But Mary and Joseph were also who he said was his family. He was right there too. Mary actually born him and Joseph was the father but God was his heavenly father. Still his father but God did not born him. Jesus was sent from heaven and born in the arms of Mary and Joseph.

What are the eyewitness accounts about Jesus called in the Bible?
Unfortunately there are no eyewitness accounts of the life or teachings of Jesus anywhere in the Bible or elsewhere. Even conservative Christians concede that the Gospels of Mark and Luke were not written by eyewitnesses. Scholars say that all the New Testament gospels were written anonymously and that they were not attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John until later in the second century. They say that the Gospels of Matthew and John were unlikely to have been written by the disciples of those names, so that even these gospels were not eyewitness accounts. The gospels are certainly accounts about Jesus, but they were not written by eyewitnesses or even by some who knew eyewitnesses.
It appears we have many documents from Moses and Muhammad so why do we not have writings from Jesus himself?
A:It may appear that we have many documents from Moses, but this is only because believers chose to attribute some of the books of the Bible to him. In fact, scholars say that these books were written many centuries after the time attributed to Moses. Archaeologists and historians say that there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, so we can even say that Moses did not really exist. There is little doubt that Muhammad was a real, historial man, but there is only one book attributed to him: the Koran. Much of the Koran reflects ideas already found in the Christian Bible.Some say that we do not have writings from Jesus himself because we do have gospels written by two of his disciples. However, the gospels were originally anonymous and were only attributed to these authors later in the second century; scholars say that none of the gospels could really have been written by an eyewitness to the life and mission of Jesus. If the gospels are true, we do not need any writings from Jesus. If they are not, we can not expect any writings from Jesus.
What does the Gospel say about the reasons for the crucifixion of Jesus?
A:The gospels all say that the religious authorities were opposed to Jesus. In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), the trigger that led to the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus was the 'cleansing of the temple', in which he overturned the tables of the moneychangers and those that sold sacrifices. For theological reasons, John moves this episode to the very beginning of the mission of Jesus, so in this gospel the trigger for the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus was the resurrection of Lazarus.
How many times does Jesus say It is written?
30 times in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
What is the truth about the real Jesus?
Millions of Christians will say that the truth about Jesus is to be found in the gospels. On the other hand, Jews will generally say that Jesus was just a wandering preacher, while Muslims hold a somewhat confused position in which Jesus was not the son of God but somehow had divine assistance.The truth about Jesus may never be known, but the quest for the 'historical Jesus' is a significant study among New Testament scholars at the present time. There may be an approaching consensus that little or nothing that we thought we knew about Jesus is actually true.
What do you think about the written report that we have from the eyewitnesses of Jesus?
A:Unfortunately there is no written report by any eyewitness to the life of Jesus anywhere in the Bible or elsewhere. Even conservative Christians concede that the Gospels of Mark and Luke were not written by eyewitnesses. Scholars say that all the New Testament gospels were written anonymously and that they were not attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John until later in the second century. They say that the Gospels of Matthew and John were unlikely to have been written by the disciples of those names, so that even these gospels were not eyewitness accounts. The gospels are certainly accounts about Jesus, whether reliable or otherwise, but they were not written by eyewitnesses or even by some who knew eyewitnesses.
Should we believe Jesus Christ if He said that Prophet Elijah was reincarnated as John the Baptist?
AnswerThe answer is in the following: In the gospels, Jesus did not actually say John the Baptist was the reincarnation of Elijah - we should not hypothesise about words not credited to JesusAccording to the gospels, Jesus met Elijah at his Transfiguration - there is no suggestion that the person he was meeting was also John the Baptist.
Did Jesus actually found the Christian Church?
there is nothing in the gospels to say that Jesus actually intended to form a new religion. They could be interpreted as meaning that he merely wanted to reform Judaism.
What should you believe about Jesus?
A:If you wish to be a Christian, you should believe that Jesus was the Son of God and is, at the same time, equal with God as part of the Trinity. It is not necessary, in order to be a Christian, to believe that the four New Testament gospels are literally true in every thing they say, but most Christians do.If you want to believe what we know about Jesus, you will first have to decide whether to believe that the gospel stories are true. Outside these books, which have a common literary source, we know almost nothing about Jesus.
