How old was anna the prophetess when she saw jesus?
Jesus was eight days old when Anna saw Him in the Temple.
How does christ reveal god to us today?
Read Christ's words and his book of Revelation. Christ continually refers to what the prophets and our Father spake, especially the law and our Fathers intentions. There is too much to type in this space, suffice it to say, never read the new testament without first reading the old.
Will Jesus come back in spirit or flesh?
As himself, although he will not return as a humble baby in a manger or a humble carpenter in a backwater of the Roman Empire. We are told in scripture - and by jesus himself - that when he returns everyone will know. There will be no doubt. He will return as himself but glorifed as king and judge and ruler.
What did the unclean spirits call Jesus?
- (Mark 1:24) The man with an unclean spirit saying, "Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth, art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God."
- (Mark 3:11) Unclean spirits, when they saw him fell down before him, saying, "Thou art the Son of God."
- (Mark 5:7) The man possessed by a legion of demons said, "What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God?"
When Matthew was written, during the eighties of the first century, and even later when Luke was written, it was no longer a problem for Jesus to be referred to openly as the Son of God. Christianity and Judaism were parting company and the gospels no longer needed to consider Jewish sensitivities. Luke 4:34 was copied more or less verbatim from Mark 1:23, so keeps the reference to the unclean spirit calling Jesus "the holy one of God."
What was the relationship between Jesus and St Peter?
St. Peter, or Peter the apostle (as he is called in the New Testament) was one of Jesus' 12 disciples, and also one of Jesus' "inner circle" of 3 disciples, Peter, James and John. Jesus took these three with him up the mountain to the transfiguration (Matthew 17)
As Jesus predicted, Peter betrayed Jesus by denying him, and was 'reinstated' by Jesus after the resurrection.
No Jesus was dead long before the formation of the Roman church. He only asked his disiples to spread his words and example. No. Matthew 16:18 was a later insertion to justify the appointment of a Pope. Peter is traditionally regarded as the first Pope by the Catholics.
16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Jesus lived on earth for thirty three and a half years only.
Jesus was born between 4 and 7 BC and died between 27 and 35 AD. He was in his 30's when he died, probably early 30's, and could have been 33 and a half, but there is no evidence to suggest he was exactly that age.
What is Judaisms connection to Jesus?
Jews and Jesus have very little to do with each other, despite Jesus having been born Jewish. See:
What is the name of the bread Jesus ate?
It represented Jesus's flesh. It was the meal he ate before he was murdered.
He gave himself up for us sinners so that we, too, could have eternal life with him someday. We feast in his presence at Mass, remembering God's sacrificial offering of His Son, Jesus Christ.
Who was the last person Jesus appeared to after the resurrection?
his disciples, before Jesus ascended into heaven
No specific person killed Jesus, but he was crucified on a vote of the people.
The Person who baptized Jesus was John the Baptist( Jesus' cousin) and when John baptized Jesus, God, His father came from heaven and told the people who Jesus was ans what he would do.
God is the only real God who is Jesus' father and who is also Jesus Christ. its a bit confusing :)
but Jesus Christ is the only true God and if you don't believe in him and ask him into your life then you may not live in eternity. (heaven)
What is meant by the phrase 'In Jesus' Name' or 'In the name of Jesus'?
This expression is used because it is believed that there is power in the name of Jesus. When someone invokes this name it is usually in a preyer and the person using it is not only trying to identify with the God they are preying to but also trying to put as much power behind it as they can. Jesus also told his followers to cast out demons in his name. Jesus said anyone who mentions my name here on Earth I will mention that person to my Father in Heaven. He also said ask anything in my name and I will do it. Another reason is that people pray in His name, so since He sits at the right hand side of the God head...... It was common for someone to request something and call upon the name of an authority. They may said I beseech you in the name of Casear. Jesus said there was no higher authority than God. Later, Jesus rose from the grave and defeated the Devil. The scripture then said his Name is above all authority in heaven and on earth. So if you want to declare or request something, there is no higher authority that you can call upon.

Who made up pentecostal religion?
Look into the Bible in the book of Acts Chapter 2.
You will find the disciples of Jesus received the Holy Spirit on the day of pentecost.
You will see that when asked what was going on by people that were in the city, Peter a disciple of Jesus stood up with the other disciples and told the people what was happening.
They also told them what they to needed to do to be saved.
So though Jesus told the disciples what to do, it was Peter who preached the 1st lesson on salvation. This is where "pentecostal" belief started.
Who helped jesus on his way to calvary?
Matthew 27:32 tells us that a man of Cyrene, Simon by name helped Jesus carry the cross to Calvary.
Nobody is immortal, our bodies will eventually die. But our souls are immortal, not only Christians but everyone.
If you choose the right path, you will reach heaven where you will be immortal and live forever praising God. But if you commit mortal sins (Sins that are serious, that you know the full consequences, but you still do it on purpose) and do not repent, you choose the wrong path and you will be immortal in hell where you live for ever in torture.

Why did people believe Jesus was the Savior?
Our Lord Came into the world to Die for all our sins. After the Serpent tempted Eve & Adam to eat of the Forbidden Fruit, we all inherited their sinful nature.
How to prove that Jesus is god?
A:
Although it is generally almost impossible to prove a negative, there are three distinct ways to prove that Jesus is not the son of God, and all of them can be well supported:
- Prove that God does not exist. Although an absolute proof is almost impossible, it is possible to prove beyond reasonable doubt that God is unlikely to exist.
- Prove that Jesus never existed. Once again, this is almost impossible, but we do know that the apostle Paul did not seem to realise that Jesus of Nazareth was a person who had lived in Palestine in the quite recent past.
- Prove that references to Jesus as the Son of God were theological constructs created after his death (assuming that Jesus of Nazareth was a historical person).
The earliest references to Jesus as the Son of God come from Hebrews and from Paul's epistles, which are persuasive on this, because they predate the gospels. However, Hebrewsportrays Jesus as the High Priest in heaven and therefore as the Son of God in heaven - not necessarily on earth, which we need to prove or disprove. Also, we know little about what Paul believed, and it is possible that Paul also saw Jesus purely as the Son of God in heaven, in the same way as Hebrews.
We then come to the gospels, which declare Jesus of Nazareth to be the son of God. However, we now know that the Gospels of Matthew and Luke were based on Mark's Gospel, and the Gospel of John to be loosely based on Luke's Gospel. We should therefore examine what is written in the original New Testament gospel, Mark's Gospel.
In Mark's Gospel, only outsiders call Jesus the Son of God. Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man, while Peter calls him the Christ (anointed one). In Mark 3:11-12, the demons fall down and call Jesus the Son of God, but Jesus is quick to instruct them to tell no one, thus no more than an implied admission. The demons would know Jesus' divine status, but if this was a blasphemy then they were outsiders and brought no disrepute upon the Christian community. Again, at the trial of Jesus, the High Priest raises the issue in the form of a question: "Are you the Christ, the Son of God?" This cautious approach suggests that the author of Mark's Gospel knew that his readers were not yet ready for a direct assertion that Jesus was the Son of God, so only stated this indirectly through outsiders, the adversaries of Jesus. There is plenty to demonstrate that the Gospel was not a literal account of events, but does the author's caution in calling Jesus the Son of God prove that he was writing fiction when he referred to Jesus this way?
