Through Christ Our Lord?

Terjemahan Indonesia: Melalui Kristus Tuhan Kita?

Pietro Perugino's depiction of the Crucifixion as Stabat Mater, 1482

[Quoted from Wikipedia – Jesus]

Jesus (/ˈzəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἰησοῦς Iesous; 7–2 BC to 30–33 AD), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth, is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God

Christianity holds Jesus to be the awaited Messiah of the Old Testament and refers to him as Jesus Christ, a name that is also used in non-Christian contexts.

Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a historical Jesus existed,[d] although there is little agreement on the reliability of the gospel narratives and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus.[18] 

Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate.[19] 

Scholars have constructed various portraits of the historical Jesus, which often depict him as having one or more of the following roles: 

the leader of an apocalyptic movement, Messiah, a charismatic healer, a sage and philosopher, or an egalitarian social reformer.[20] 

Scholars have correlated the New Testament accounts with non-Christian historical records to arrive at an estimated  chronology of Jesus' life.

Christians believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return.[21] 

The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of a Divine Trinity
A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural.


In Islam, Jesus (commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah (al-Masih).[22] 

To Muslims, Jesus is a bringer of scripture and the child of a virgin birth, but neither divine nor the victim of crucifixion. 

Judaism rejects the belief that Jesus was the awaited Messiah, arguing that he did not fulfill the Messianic prophecies in the Tanakh.

Dear all, why bring up Jesus? :)

I met an old friend in the airport and she was surprised that I became ordained as a Buddhist Nun.

I tried to give her a name card to keep in touch & she was pretty spook and didn't want to take the card! 

She said: Buddha is a Human being and they only talk to God through Jesus Christ! 
She said very firmly that one can't talk directly to God! 

Hahaha! 

In Tantrayana, we have Root Gurus that Link us to the Universe.
Is there any difference with Root Guru & Jesus Christ? 

O! She said Jesus is the Son of God.

Its pretty enlightening to be given this view though. :)

I remember sharing that some German researchers stated that Christ is an 8th Level Boddhisattva.


Cheers all.
