A Cry for Help

This was comment on my video thread from someone lost in the maze of modern 'truth.'

Many I've heard say that Yeshua is real and existed in person. But some are saying he never existed and that he is one in a line of spiritual beings from Egyptian times to Krishna-Christ-Christos etc.. I do believe in God aka higher power but there is so much cloudiness and metaphor in the Bible and religions. Please tell me what do I do? I mean do I just follow and have faith and believe or is it all man-made? So many questions and few answers. Help!!!

My reply:

Good news! The truth is plain and simple and easy to understand. Jesus was in fact a real historical person and this is what makes Christ and Christianity so very different from all other religions. It is absolutely unthinkable to doubt the existence of the person Jesus of Nazareth. It would be like saying that the Caesars of Rome were just a myth.

In the short time that the Son of God walked the earth, he gave birth to what would become the world's largest religion, revered by billions of believers. It arose against all odds against the most horrific persecution imaginable. What Jesus taught transformed the very nature of religion and how humanity thought about love, morality and the good.

His disciples recorded his death and resurrection in what would become the New Testament, the most historically referenced document of the ancient world with thousands and thousands of copious manuscripts, which would become the Bible, the bestselling book in history.

The idea that Jesus was just another mythological figure like so many others is laughably absurd!

What makes this thinking so ridiculous is that it is clearly quite literally the very opposite of the truth. The various mythologies of the world show certain archetypal patterns, many of which share a similarity with the life of Christ. Because of this many academics have attempted to lump Christianity in as just another mythology in a menagerie of myth.

The problem with this is, that the life of Christ exemplifies all the great myths all at once. What does this mean? Jesus Christ is not just another myth, it is the fulfillment of all the myths. Jesus Christ is the truth, the historical truth, the literal truth and the truth that is your salvation.

Christianity is a complex question but it can be boiled down to this: Believe in God and your salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and all else follows. In other words, if you focus on that, you can in time, figure the rest out.

Should you have anymore questions, you can contact me through my website 37x73.com, where my email address is at the bottom of every page. Also if you spend just an hour at my website you will see demonstrative proof that Jesus Christ is God, a proof that is abundant, overwhelming and undeniable.

His Response:

John Elias John thank you so much for the great and in depth reply. Yes I have been searching for God and have had strong interest in Christ again and trying to discover again the mystery of Christ Yeshua. There's so much esoteric knowledge out there to be tapped into. So many questions and few answers but I do believe in God however imperfect I am. This search for God will take all my life I know understand. I will look at your website ASAP. Thanks for your sympathy!
