	Encyclopedia: Christian views of Jesus
		Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus the Nazarene (circa 4 BC/BCE â€“ 30 AD/CE), is the central figure of Christianity, in which context he is known as Jesus Christ (from Greek Î™Î·ÏƒÎ¿ÏÏ‚ Î§ÏÎ¹ÏƒÏ„ÏŒÏ‚) with Christ being a title meaning Anointed One or Messiah.
		Christian movements are theological, political, or philosophical intepretations of Christianity that are not generally represented by a specific church, sect, or denomination.
		Christian views of Jesus vary somewhat between different Christian denominations, but almost all Christians base their beliefs around what they hold to be Jesus' teachings, and believe that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah), the saviour of mankind foretold in the Old Testament.

	Easter article - Easter holiday Christian resurrection Jesus crucifixion Good Friday - What-Means.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Easter is generally accounted the most important holiday of the Christian year, observed each spring to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead (after his death by crucifixion; see Good Friday), which Christians believe happened at about this time of year, almost two thousand years ago.
		In Western Christianity, Easter marks the end of the forty days of Lent, a period of fasting and penitence in preparation for Easter which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at Easter Sunday.
		In addition, some Christians believe the holiday is named for the Babylonian goddess Ishtar ([2] (http://www.origin-of-easter.com/) [3] (http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-t020.html) [4] (http://www.lasttrumpetministries.org/tracts/tract1.html) [5] (http://www.pathlights.com/theselastdays/tracts/tract_22n.htm) [6] (http://www.tiral.com/2004/04/the_origins_of_.html)), but there exist no etymological indications that would support such claims.

	Historical Jesus Theories
		Robert Funk is founder of the Jesus Seminar, a group of scholars whose purpose was to examine the historicity of the sayings and deeds of Jesus.
		One claim of the Jesus Seminar is that the historical Jesus was not apocalyptic: "The views of John the Baptist and Paul are apocalyptically oriented.
		Jesus died on a Roman cross because he was considered a threat to the Roman occupation of Judaea, not because he was regarded as heretical or blasphemous by the Jewish religious authorities, the Pharisees.

	Religious perspectives on Jesus - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		In Christianity, Jesus is generally thought to have the divine attributes as the son of God and the messiah.

		Jesus was seen as the savior and bringer of gnosis by various Gnostic sects, such as the extinct Manichaeism.

	Jesus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		What can be established about the historical Jesus depends almost without exception on Christian traditions, especially on the material used in the composition of the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke, which reflect the outlook of the later church and its faith in Jesus.
		The notion of Jesus as son of God is something that was established under the influence of Paul of Tarsus (originally named Saul), who had been an enemy of Jesus, but later changed course and joined the disciples after the departure of Jesus.
		According, to Christian belief, the original sin of Adam and Eve of eating from the forbidden tree was so great that God could not forgive it by simply willing it, rather it was necessary to erase it with the blood of a sinless, innocent Jesus.

	Some Jewish Views About Jesus. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		If the resurrection of Jesus from the dead on that Easter Sunday were a public event which had been made known...not only to the 530 Jewish witnesses but to the entire population, all Jews would have become followers of Jesus.
		Jesus, like other teachers, severely criticized his people for their spiritual short-comings, seeking to correct them, but at the same time he loved and pitied them.
		Jesus, like all other of the noblest type of Jewish teachers, taught the essential lessons of spiritual religion -- love, justice, goodness, purity, holiness -- subordinating the material and the political to the spiritual and the eternal.

	Leadership U. Special Focus: Who is the True Jesus?
		Qur'anic scripture agrees somewhat with the Bible by presenting Jesus as a sinless, even virgin-born prophet (sired by an angel), but departs sharply from the Bible in claiming that Jesus is not the Savior and Son of God.
		The claim that Jesus is a Person of the Triune God as portrayed in the Bible is considered blasphemous by Islamic teaching.
		Yet, Christians maintain the historical veracity of Jesus' claims to deity and the proof of an actual crucifixion and resurrection.

		Arius proved an expert logician and master of extracting biblical proof texts that seemingly illustrated differences between Jesus and God, such as John 14:28: "the Father is greater than I." In essence, Arius argued that Jesus of Nazareth could not possibly share God the Father's unique divinity.
		Before the church adopted comprehensive doctrinal creeds, early Christian leaders developed a set of instructional summaries of belief, termed the "Rule" or "Canon" of Faith, which affirmed this truth.
		The Christians took over this usage of kyrios and applied it to Jesus, from the earliest days of the church.

		Be aware when dialoguing with "Wordperfect", or "EZ", as she's called, that she's under the illusion that Christianity and Islam's doctrines are totally reconcilable, and she presents such outrageous claims every now and then, like saying that the Qur'an doesn't specifically say Jesus (PBUH) was not crucified (she, as a "Christian", believes he was).

	REACH: Unitarian Views of Jesus
		Jesus was seen as the supreme teacher and leader of humankind, and salvation was to be achieved through conforming one's life to his teaching, as the purest expression of God's will.
		Whatever their theological perspective Unitarians attempt, in their style of worship and their community life, to combine a faith of personal integrity with a spirit of inclusiveness that draws strength from a willingness to share and learn from others.
		The question of the centrality of Jesus offers a challenge to modern Unitarians to discover ways of drawing the best from traditions of the past, while discovering an ever deeper understanding and respect for the convictions of others in the present, thus opening ourselves up to fresh visions and insights of a better future.

		In general, as Paul wrote to Timothy, Christians are to pray "for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions." Hugo Chavez is an evil tyrant but so were many Roman emperors.
		The Christian goal is to follow biblical principles, including "just war" ones, and not to invent our own.
