I love you +

Well if you read the bible you would find out that he was resurrected in Heaven. In fact, while he was being crucified on the cross, people were screaming down below "Why doesn't he save himself?" Jesus died so that you and I could be forgiven of our sins and live forever, if we believe in God.

He is not dead, he was resurrected into heaven. When they went to his tomb it was completely empty, neither he or his remains or 'dead'.

You forget: He rose from the dead. That's what makes Him great.

John Lennon is dead , he was great.

Everyone dies. Every thing that lives dies. Eventual death does not prevent greatness, nor is immortality required for greatness. Gandhi was great, and is now equally dead.

Greatness has nothing to do with being immortal dude! He lived over 2000 years ago, how on Earth could he be alive today?

He isn't dead. He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of His Father.

after reading some of these answers , i have some ocean front property in kansas i'd like to sell to these people

How come he is dead? Good question. Jesus came for a purpose. And that was to die for our sins so that through Him we may have eternal life. He did die, but he is not dead. He has risen and He as alive today as he was 2,000 years ago. He was and is, and is to come.

Oh Christ I lol'd. :) But yeah, I think he's all that cuz he came back from the dead. Which makes him undead, so that means he's a vampire. Dude. Oh and he died for our sins and alla dat.

Who says that he is DEAD ? Until you prove that he is ; I am free to believe that he isn't ... IF I so choose . +5

If Darth Vader is so pink, how come he doesn't have a collection of rubber dinosaurs?

Your assumptions are incorrect. Greatness has nothing to do with life or death, and He is not dead. Just elsewhere.

I'm sorry one of your premises may be wrong

:):):):):)

I am afraid you missed the best part of the Gospel. Christ has died. Christ has risen. Christ will come again. With love in Christ.

Jesus is BACK in heaven alongside his Father, just like he was BEFORE he was SENT. (Proverbs 8:22-31) “Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago. 23 From time indefinite I was installed, from the start, from times earlier than the earth. 24 When there were no watery deeps I was brought forth as with labor pains, when there were no springs heavily charged with water. 25 Before the mountains themselves had been settled down, ahead of the hills, I was brought forth as with labor pains, 26 when as yet he had not made the earth and the open spaces and the first part of the dust masses of the productive land. 27 When he prepared the heavens I was there; when he decreed a circle upon the face of the watery deep, 28 when he made firm the cloud masses above, when he caused the fountains of the watery deep to be strong, 29 when he set for the sea his decree that the waters themselves should not pass beyond his order, when he decreed the foundations of the earth, 30 then I came to be beside him as a master worker, and I came to be the one he was specially fond of day by day, I being glad before him all the time, 31 being glad at the productive land of his earth, and the things I was fond of were with the sons of men. (Mark 9:37) “Whoever receives one of such young children on the basis of my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives, not me only, but also him that sent me forth.” (John 8:18) I am one that bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.” (John 6:44) No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him; and I will resurrect him in the last day. FATHER WHO SENT ME...

The two are not connected. Consider Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, John, Mohammed, they're all dead, yet they were all so great that their names still live on.

Well, here's the deal. A dude named "Adam" stole a pear or an apple from the god's tree. The god didn't like that and got all pissed off because that was his favorite pear. His wrath grew so out of control that he couldn't get himself to calm down. So he came up with a plan. The plan sounds sinister and sadistic, but hey, who are we to question the god--right? He got a a woman named Mary pregnant--without her consent, I must add. Then he told her husband--a guy by the name of Joe: "Hey little fellow! I got your woman pregnant, but don't you trip on that 'cause it's all good. So go and f**k her!". This woman finally gave birth to a baby boy and named him "Jesus". This Jesus grew up into a young man, but it is said that he didn't party, or had a girlfriend, or drink or even had sex. But that's not known for sure one way or the other. What it's known though, is that he went from place to place running his mouth and got slapped a few times for that. But he wouldn't stop! He went on yakiri, yakiri, yakiri until people got tired and just beat the holy crap out of him. But they didn't stop with the ass-whooping. Oh No! They went and got some big ass nails about 5" long and nailed his ass to a wooden cross. Then, of course, that must hurt. I mean, I've never been nailed on a tree or nothing, but that shit got to hurt. So he started crying to his dad--not Joe--his real daddy, the one sitting on a cloud watching the whole abuse: "Daddy, daddy, why you let this people do this to me, please daddy!". Then supposedly he died afterward. But then three days later he did appear to some of his posse and they were all happy, hugging each other and crying: "Damn dude, we thought you were dead!" "Naaah, I just pulled one of my tricks, y'all know how I roll!". So anyway, he got on an elevator that looks like a big cloud and went to heaven and now he sits on the right hand side of his dad. His dad finally calmed down and is all happy again. So now you can f**k up all you want to, all you have to do is tell all your business to a creepy guy hidding behind a little window and you don't know if he got his pants down doing what, but don't worry about what he might be doing, just tell him that you're sorry, believe in this story, and you're gonna be alright.

He would be over 2,000 years old by now - and as to his staying alive - well that's a little much to ask anyone to do - even the son of God.
