The name Jesus is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew name Yeshua, or Joshua. The name means "Salvation is from God." because it combined 2 gods. "JE"hovah- god of the Hebrews, and "ZEUS", god of the greek, and came up with JEZEUS. The two most popular religion were St. Paul resides..With one stroke, Paul can now find converts to his new invented religion.
As he was the son of god , he was perfect and had no health problems.
Sikhism as a religion believes in multiple ways of salvation. Sikhism does not have monopoly over salvation, nor just by calling yourself Sikh you get salvation.

What happened at Passover when Jesus was around?
What can Christians learn from Jesus attitude towards the sick?
What kind of person was Jesus that Christians can learn? While on earth Jesus help us to get to know him well. Jesus was well-known as "Teacher." (John 1:38; 13:13) Jesus primarily message was "the good news of the Kingdom"- that is God's Kingdom, the heavenly government that will rule over the entire earth and will bring endless blessings to obedient humans. Everywhere he preach he found people- in the countryside as well as in cities, in villages, in marketplaces, and in their homes.
But there was another reason why he preached. He felt compassion for the crowds of people who came out to see him. (Matthew 9:35,36) Jesus was a man of tender warmth and deep feelings, he was genuinely humble. Also Jesus was sensitive to the needs of others. This was especially evident when, under the power of God's spirit, he performed miracles of healing. (Matthew 14:14) For example, a man with leprosy came to Jesus and said: "If you just want to, you can make me clean." Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched the man, saying: " I want to. Be made clean." (Mark 1:40-42) And the sick man was healed. Jesus understood the purpose for his ability from his God and Father to heal and in the near future a Grand healing of mankind ( Revelations 21:4,5)
Where does the blood line of Jesus now live?
Jesus Himself is alive and well and residing at the right hand of God, awaiting the proper moment for His full-on physical return to Earth. However, according to Isaiah 53:8, 'He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. ' That is to say, Jesus had no blood line. Should any of them actually be living, the closest He has to a blood line extant on the earth at this time are the descendants of His half brothers and sisters.
Did jesus apply his blood to the mercy seat in heaven?
Comparing the four gospel accounts of the resurrection, it appears that Mary Magdalene was the first person to see the risen Christ. In John 20:17, Jesus says to her, "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father." Later that morning, several other women meet Jesus, and Matthew 28:9 says that they clasp Him by the feet. Why could Mary not touch Him while the other women could? One explanation is that Jesus had not yet ascended to apply His blood to the mercy seat in heaven when Mary saw Him. The book of Leviticus gave instructions regarding how the blood of animals sacrificed on the brazen altar was to be taken into the holy place and sprinkled on the mercy seat to atone for the sins of the people. The priest had to undergo a purification process to appear before God, and Leviticus 16:17 seems to imply that no one could touch him (thus ceremonially defiling him) until he had finished the task. Jesus, the ultimate high priest, is fulfilling in the true tabernacle in heaven what the priests of Israel could only picture symbolically. On Calvary, He offered Himself as the true sacrificial Lamb, and upon His resurrection He is preparing to ascend to the throne of the Father and apply His blood to the true mercy seat in heaven. Therefore Mary was prevented from touching Him before His task was complete. Later that morning, having applied the blood, He permits the others to touch Him. Hebrews 9:12 seems to confirm this idea. Speaking of Jesus, it says, "neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us."
Why do Christians believe Jesus was the messiah and what does messiah mean?
Because Jesus came to save the world of its sins.
And the Islamic view is that:
The Holy Quran refers to Jesus as "Eesa", and this name is used more times than any other title, because this was his "Christian" name. Actually, his proper name was "Eesa" (Arabic), or "Esau". (Hebrew); classical "Yeheshua", which the Christian nations of the West Latinised as Jesus.
Neither the "J" nor the second "s" in the name Jesus is to be found in the original tongue - they are not found in the Semitic languages.
The word is very simply - "E S A U" - a very common Jewish name, used more than sixty times in the very first booklet alone of the Bible, in the part called "Genesis". There was at least one "Jesus" sitting on the "bench" at the trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin. Josephus the Jewish historian mentions some twenty five Jesus' in his "Book of Antiquities". The New Testament speaks of "Bar-Jesus", a magician and a sorcerer, a false prophet (Act 13:6); and also "Jesus-Justus", a Christian missionary, a contemporary of Paul (Colossians 4:11). These are distinct from Jesus the son of Mary.
Transforming "Esau" to (J)esu(s), Jesus makes it unique. This unique (?) name has gone out of currency among the Jews and the Christians from the 2nd century after Christ. Among the Jews, because it came to be the proper name of their God(?), their God incarnate. The Muslim will not hesitate to name his son "Eesa" because it is an honoured name, the name of a righteous servant of the Lord.
Messiah, is a term used in Judaism, Christianity and Islam for the redeemer figure expected in one form or another. The definition of the word is "savior or liberator; someone regarded as or claiming to be a savior or liberator of a country, people, or the world".
NO. Jesus knows everything all the time, your thoughts, your actions etc; Jesus is yet to come again. He would never go do anything to confuse us. Satan is the author of confusion. Satan can even appear as an angel of light; the bible says My children die because of ignorance. Pray to Jesus, in private and read your bible; The Holy Bible [not a religious version; the original version]
Why do Jews not believe in Christ as a Messiah?
Christian answer: By the time Jesus came to earth, Jewish religious thinking and practices had strayed far from what was taught in the inspired Scriptures. The religious leaders of the day-the Sadducees, Pharisees, and scribes-upheld man-made traditions, putting them ahead of God's written Word. Time and again they accused Jesus of breaking the Law because he performed miraculous cures on the Sabbath. By forcefully refuting their unscriptural teachings, Jesus challenged both their authority and their claims of having an approved standing with God. By contrast, Jesus came from a humble background and lacked their formal religious education. No wonder it was so difficult for such proud men to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah! Such confrontations so enraged them that they "took counsel against [Jesus] that they might destroy him."-Matthew 12:1-8, 14; 15:1-9.
The attitude of first-century Jewish religious leaders created a social climate that was hostile to anyone accepting Jesus as the Messiah. Taking pride in their prominent positions, they belittled anyone showing faith in Jesus, saying: "Not one of the rulers or of the Pharisees has put faith in him, has he?" (John 7:13, 48) Some Jewish leaders, such as Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, did become disciples of Jesus, but they kept their faith secret out of fear. (John 3:1, 2; 12:42; 19:38, 39) The Jewish leaders had decreed that "if anyone confessed [Jesus] as Christ, he should get expelled from the synagogue." (John 9:22) Such a person would be shunned and scorned as a social outcast. Opposition to Jesus' apostles and disciples eventually ignited violent persecution. Because of their bold preaching, the apostles suffered at the hands of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish high court. (Acts 5:40) Opposers framed false charges of blasphemy against the disciple Stephen. He was condemned by the Sanhedrin and stoned to death. Then, "great persecution arose against the congregation that was in Jerusalem; all except the apostles were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria." (Acts 6:8-14; 7:54-8:1) Saul, who later became the apostle Paul, shared in a campaign of persecution that was officially supported by the high priest and "the assembly of older men."-Acts 9:1, 2; 22:4, 5. There is really no lack of evidence by which each one of us can make an informed choice or decision in this matter. And that decision is urgent. Why? Because the Bible reveals that as the Messianic King of God's Kingdom, Jesus will soon take action to remove all those who are ruining the earth and bring about righteous rule that will allow all obedient subjects to live forever on earth in paradisaic conditions. (Daniel 2:44; Revelation 11:15, 18; 21:3-5) This marvelous future can be yours if you make the effort to learn about Jesus and demonstrate faith in him now. Take to heart Jesus' own words: "God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."-John 3:16.
- Jewish answer
The unlearned class of the Amei-haaretz (ignoramuses) was a small fringe of society, but even they would and did lay down their lives in order not to violate anything of the Torah. As one ancient historian famously wrote:
Hecateus declares again, "what regard we [Jews] have for our laws; and we resolve to endure anything rather than transgress them." And he adds: "They [Jews] may be stripped on this account, and have torments inflicted upon them, and be brought to the most terrible kinds of death, but they meet these tortures after an extraordinary manner, beyond all other people, and will not renounce the religion of their forefathers."
No one (even any of them who did hear of Jesus) - would have given any consideration to what was and is considered unacceptable for us.
In Judaism, Jesus was a regular human being who lived in olden times, and is not part of Jewish religious belief.
Here is a related topic:
The word "messiah" is the transliterated form of the Hebrew "moshiach." The word moshiach means "anointed." The title of moshiach was given to any person who was appropriately anointed with oil as part of their initiation to their service of God. We have had a number of meshichim (plural) in the form of kings and priests. There need be nothing supernatural about a moshiach.
This being said, there is a prophecy of a future moshiach. However, this is a relatively minor topic in Judaism and the Tanakh.
The Jewish requirements of the messiah have not yet been fulfilled. They are:
* Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28).
* Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6).
* Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred and oppression. "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more" (Isaiah 2:4).
* Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. "God will be King over all the world. On that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9).
* The messiah must be descended on his father's side from King David (Genesis 49:10 and Isaiah 11:1).
* The messiah will lead the Jewish people to full Torah-observance. The Torah states that all of its mitzvot (commands) remain binding forever.
What is the one day of the year the high priest could approach the Presence of the Lord?
The high priest could only enter the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
How is Jesus sacrifice different from the sacrifices of the Israelite sacrifices?
In the Fall season, the Jews went to Jerusalem for the Day of Atonement. This is where the High Priest would have 2 goats prepared - one was taken out into the wilderness and released (representing the 1000 yr Millennium without Satan) and the other sacrificed for the sins of the people (representing Jesus). Though this sacrificial ritual occurred annually, it could not take away the guilt the sinners felt. It was symbolic and pointing to the greatest sacrifice to happen ahead from Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins.
Jesus is the member of the God Family that created all things - including us (John 1:1-3). As Creator God, His life was much more valuable than all human life from the 1st to the last one of us, together. In as much, His voluntary and obedient death on the tree and subsequent resurrection and acceptance by the Father of His offering for us (Wave Sheath Offering), re-connected mankind to the Throne of God. We have a Mediator, an Eternal High Priest, our brother. When we now repent and get baptized, we come out of the watery grave a new creature being begotten of God by the power of His Holy Spirit. All guilt subsides and we look forward to our following our perfect example (1Peter2:21).
If those who are called in their lifetimes (John 6:44;65) remain strong to the end, they will be part of the 1st Resurrection, as firstfruits and eventually become the Bride of Christ (position in God's Government) at the Wedding Feast to follow.
What are some things Jesus told us to do?
Seek God the kingdom of God -- Matthew 6:33
Love God -- Matthew 22:37
Love your neighbour -- Matthew 22:39
Make disciples -- Matthew 28:19
baptise new disciples -- Matthew 28:19
Where did Jesus travel around when he was about 30?
When Jesus was 30 he began his ministry for 3 years because of what happened at the age of 33. He travelled along the Jordan river.
Where was the hometown of Jesus' parents?
As for Luke's report that there was a census during the reign of King Herod, and that Joseph and Mary were required by that census to travel from Galilee to Bethlehem, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says, "The best explanation is that, although Luke likes to set his Christian drama in the context of well-known events from antiquity, sometimes he does so inaccurately."
What happened to the deciples after Jesus died?
Millions.
Jesus told His followers to go abd make disciples so every Christian/believer in Christ is His disciple.
Of the original 12 there were 11; until a replacement for Judas Escariot could be appointed.
Another thought:
We know that fifty days after his death, there were 120 people gathering together as Christians(Acts 1:15) when holy spirit was poured out on them(Acts 2:16-18/Joel 2:28 - Acts 1:7+8)giving them the special powers they would need to continue Jesus' work for a time. The 'gifts of the spirit', one of which was the ability to speak in other languages, allowed them to preach to people who spoke a foreign tongue about God's kingdom and purposes(Acts 2:5-47)(Matthew 24:14),
Where did Jesus go after he got baptized by John?
In John's gospel, Jesus returned to see John the Baptist the day after his baptism. John told two of his disciples, one of whom was Andrew, to follow Jesus. They went a little way and Andrew went to get his brother, Simon Peter, who also followed Jesus. The second day, as Jesus went into Galilee, he met Philip, who also followed him, bringing Nathaniel with him. On the third day, Jesus went to a wedding in Cana, where he turned water into wine (John 1:35-2:9)..
How did jesus prove he was alive?
He came back to life and showed himself to Marth and the disciples in the room, and also the two of them on the road.
Why did Herod not know Jesus was born?
King Herod the Great cared about Jesus' birth because Jesus was prophesized as a king. Herod thought Jesus was going overthrow him so he wanted him killed. But, Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world" (John 18: 36), but to be "King of the Jews" (Matthew 27: 37).
What charges did Pilate believe that Christ was guilty of?
Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, believed that Jesus Christ was guilty of claiming to be the King of the Jews, which could be seen as a challenge to Roman authority. This was a political charge, as it threatened the stability of the region under Roman rule. Pilate likely saw Jesus as a potential threat to the Roman Empire's power and sought to eliminate that threat by sentencing him to crucifixion.
What year did Jesus go to Jerusalem?
Luke's Gospel says that Jesus was taken from Bethlehem to Jerusalem, to be presented at the Temple, when Mary's purification had been accomplished, so after just forty days.
Matthew's Gospel is less clear. Joseph and Mary fled from Bethlehem to Egypt when King Herod sought to have Jesus killed. This seems to have been shortly after the birth of Jesus, but could have been up to two years later.
