Jesus Christ

No, Quran tells us that Jesus(PBUH) is a mighty messenger of Allah sent to the people of Israil. (5) (Remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah gives you the glad tidings of a Word ("Be!" - and he was! i.e. Iesa (jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary)) from Him, his name will be the Messiah Iesa (jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allah."

( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #45)

6) And He (Allah) will teach him (Iesa (jesus)) the Book and Al-Hikmah (i.e. the Sunnah, the faultless speech of the Prophets, wisdom, etc.), (and) the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).

( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #48)

8) Then when Iesa (jesus) came to know of their disbelief, he said: "Who will be my helpers in Allahs Cause?" Al-Hawarioon (the disciples) said: "We are the helpers of Allah; we believe in Allah, and bear witness that we are Muslims (i.e. we submit to Allah)."

( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #52)

(10) And they (disbelievers) plotted (to kill Iesa (jesus) ), and Allah planned too. And Allah is the Best of the planners.

And (remember) when Allah said: "O Iesa (jesus)! I will take you and raise you to Myself and clear you (of the forged statement that Iesa (jesus) is Allahs son) of those who disbelieve, and I will make those who follow you (Monotheists, who worship none but Allah) superior to those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah, or disbelieve in some of His Messengers, e.g. Muhammad SAW, Iesa (jesus), Moosa (Moses), etc., or in His Holy Books, e.g. the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), the Quran) till the Day of Resurrection. Then you will return to Me and I will judge between you in the matters in which you used to dispute."

( سورة آل عمران , Verily, the likeness of Iesa (jesus) before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" - and he was.

( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #59)

Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #55) Verily! This is the true narrative (about the story of Iesa (jesus)), and, La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the One and the Only True God, Who has neither a wife nor a son). And indeed, Allah is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #62)

And because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah Iesa (jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allah," - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Iesa (jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not (i.e. Iesa (jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) ):

( سورة النساء , An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #157)

But Allah raised him (Iesa (jesus)) up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allah is Ever AllPowerful, AllWise.

( سورة النساء , An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #158)

O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allah aught but the truth. The Messiah Iesa (jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah and His Word, ("Be!" - and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rooh) created by Him; so believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not: "Three (trinity)!" Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allah is (the only) One Ilah (God), Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is AllSufficient as a Disposer of affairs.

( سورة النساء , An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #171)

And in their footsteps, We sent Iesa (jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), confirming the Taurat (Torah) that had come before him, and We gave him the Injeel (Gospel), in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Taurat (Torah) that had come before it, a guidance and an admonition for Al-Muttaqoon (the pious - see V.2:2).

( سورة المائدة Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah (Iesa (jesus)), son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah (Iesa (jesus)) said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers) there are no helpers.

( سورة المائدة , Al-Maeda, Chapter #5, Verse #72)

, Al-Maeda, Chapter #5, Verse #46) The Messiah (Iesa (jesus)), son of Maryam (Mary), was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother (Maryam (Mary)) was a Siddiqah (i.e. she believed in the words of Allah and His Books (see Verse 66:12)). They both used to eat food (as any other human being, while Allah does not eat). Look how We make the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to them, yet look how they are deluded away (from the truth).

( سورة المائدة , Al-Maeda, Chapter #5, Verse #75)

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

John 3:16-21 (the emphasis is mine)

I've italicized the verse that shows what His mission was. His mission was to save the world of its sins by being crucified for our sins. All who believe, trust, in Him will be saved from Hell and its terror.

"23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,[i] through the shedding of his blood-to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished- 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

Romans 3:23-26

Hope this helped!

If you think about it, Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit is a Trinity. God has no name because he is known as God...unlike other religions, such as hinduism, where they have names for each God...E.g.

Krishna

Hanuman

etc.

All three of them are one...One for all and all for one...:D

None of them have names...its just what they are.

JESUS

GOD

HOLY SPIRIT

If you are meaning his surname it would be Jesus of Nazareth, son of Joseph and Mary.

In John 11:25 Jesus says 'I am the resurrection, and the life, he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live'. He is the resurrection, the blessed hope of every Christian.

Resurrection demonstrated that God accepted Jesus' sacrifice on our behalf. It guarantees that those who believe in Christ will not remain dead, but will be resurrected unto eternal life. That is our blessed hope

In Mark's Gospel, Jesus spoke the last words, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" which is certainly puzzling, especially in the light of the Trinity doctrine.

Matthew faithfully copies Mark, but the author of Luke was not prepared to do so, replacing these words with, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." The author of John was generally copying Luke, but because he saw Jesus as truly divine, Luke's words were inappropriate. He chose "It is finished."

So it can be seen that God turned his back on Christ in the first two gospels, but not in Luke's Gospel or John's Gospel.

Though Jesus Christ was born over 2000 years ago, and He is no longer on earth, I personally can say Yes Jesus Christ is my friend. And those who come to believe in Jesus can be His friend also, even these many year later.

But Wiki.Answers.com is not one single person, but a collection of many many people who answer questions sent in by people such as your self. So there if all of us were to answer this question there would be many different answers.

But thanks for asking!

The beatitudes present in Matthew are:

• The poor in spirit; theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
• Mourners; they will be comforted.
• Those that hunger and thirst after righteousness; they will be filled.
• Those persecuted for seeking righteousness. The text says that theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

The beatitudes present in the Gospel of Luke are:

• The poor. The text says that theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
• "Those who are weeping". The text says that they "will laugh".
• The hungry. The text says that they will "be satisfied".
• "Followers of the Son of Man". The text says that theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

The beatitudes present only in Matthew are:

• The meek. The text says that they will "inherit the earth".
• The merciful. The text says that they will "obtain mercy".
• The pure of heart. The text says that they will "see God".
• The peacemakers. The text says that they will be called "the sons of God". Other translations use the phrase "Children of God".

Yes, miracles do happen in 1979 my younger brother who was 18 at the time was given only days to live. He had an inoperable brain tumor. The tumor was as big as a golf ball and next to the optic nerve. After visiting him in Christies cancer hospital, in Manchester, England one Saturday afternoon, realising they had laid him out to die. Days before he had lost his hearing and his awareness about what was going on around him. After shouting his name I could get no response. It seemed that he was at the edge of dying.
After leaving the Hospital I felt the urge to visit a Pentecostal Church, called the Sharon Church in Moss Side, one of the poorest districts of Manchester; I had read in the Manchester newspaper that many miracles had been witnessed in this church.
By God's mercy or 'God incidence', the Pastor of the Church was preparing the Church for Sunday morning services. I had never met him before but he was a kindly old gentleman. I told him about my brother and that I had become a Christian only six months earlier and that despite my brother deteriorating so quickly I felt a peace in my heart that he was going to be alright. The pastor invited me to pray with him for my brother. As I prayed I felt the pure love of Jesus Christ through His Spirit, touch me and fill me in an overpowering way; as I prayed for a miracle asking for my brother to be healed. The supernatural presence of the Holy Spirit was very real and like nothing I had ever experienced before.
That same evening my brother's girlfriend phoned me from the hospital, she was all excited she said, 'isn't it great about D...... we were shouting his name and he said 'why are you shouting? I can hear everything you are saying', at the same moment he got out of bed and said 'I am going to the toilet'. (He hadn't walked unaided for weeks). I knew at that moment my brother had been healed. A miracle had happened that day, through faith in Jesus Christ and asking and believing in prayer.
Over 30 years later my brother is alive and well. I thank God every day for the miracle of his healing. Yes, miracles do still happen today if you have the faith in the living God; Jesus Christ.
It is easy to have some form of religion but to deny the real supernatural power of a living God.
I think that a woman giving birth to a new life is a miracle, and that happens every day.

To the above comment, clearly you have not read the bible. Biblical miracles include things like the parting of the red sea, dead people who come to life, leper's cleansed in the blink of an eye, blind people that receive vision instantly I could go on and on but I think/hope you get the idea.

To answer your question, no they do not. The sole purpose of New Testament miracles was to confirm what was being preached. There was no Bible at this time. If you were a Jew following the jewish law and someone came to you and told you, hey throw out the old law I'm going to give you the new one and then proceeded to do nothing more than tell you the gospel, you wouldn't believe him, and rightfully so I believe. The old law was what they were to follow.

However if I told you I have a new law for you to follow and I proceed to raise your dead wife from the grave ... well its time to listen up. Miracles served their purpose and are no longer needed. We have the Bible.

Also, if you read the Bible and see how the gift was given to people for miracles to be possible today there is either an apostle still alive or someone that was given the ability to do miracles from that time period.

If you look at the "miracles" you see modern day false prophets doing on TV you can see the HUGE difference in the type of miracles they are claiming to do. In the bible the man who could not walk leaped with joy instantly healed. The "healers" I have seen on TV have never raised someone from the dead. Made a mutated and mangled limb instantly cured and look like new. The heal a painful back.

If any of them truly had power they could prove it by visiting a local cemetery and raise someone from the dead. Or maybe take a can of tuna and feed a few hundred people with it.
