Calling Christians

If we try to visualize those times, every Jew sought Barabbas' release instead of Jesus. The Romans were Neutral. They acted as Jews demanded because they were afraid of a revolt. Even Jesus' own disciples had turned against him. They had been with him, they had heard him and yet in the moment of his crisis none came to his help. None tried to defend him. May be if I were there I would not be different. Let us ask what we would do if Jesus comes in flesh and proclaims it is he. How many would believe him. I think none would believe me. They would say it is written in scriptures he would come on the clouds. The same Christians who profess they are his followers, those who pledge their allegiance to him would seek his blood. They will refuse to hear him. They will again want to put their fingers in his wounds.

NO, I would NOT. It is NOT our place to second guess God. God put Jesus here to save us FROM OURSELVES....NOT so we could save Him!!! I have learned in my lifetime, that our past creates our future. Some of my most painful moments have put me in place to have some of my most WONDERFUL moments & the good outweighed the bad!!! Had I not lived & dealt with some of the most horrible moments in my life, I would have NEVER met the love of my life!!! The love of my life took away ALL the pain I had endured & even made that part of my life wonderful. I'm just thankful that God loves us ALL enough to offer His Son for our salvation..

lol. No way. The thought of someone attempting that makes me laugh as much as when people talk about stopping the apocalypse. I doubt God would be very happy with me at all for interfering with his will.

Hi, If you read the bible it tells that the disciples also wanted to avoid such a situation to happen to christ. But christ told them that it is just what its ment to be and only his father can change the situation. If they wanted they could only prolong the time but it was for sure to happen at any time. By the way I would love to be in that time and close to the lord but there would be no way to prevent the whole situation from happening. Regards, Larry Nicholas

Well its hard to answer that but being like an ordinary person in that time I may prefer to justify my deep conviction that there is something really happening in the world about freedom from sins. I will seek it more and live for it all of my all. And if I found it in Christ at that time I know I'll be tested by my faith.

Scratches head in deep thought...hmmm..you know I think I would..I seriously think I would..because so much would have been different maybe..and that could have been a good thing..maybe things made more clearer...SO...would you take a trip back in time save him?

Hi p1kef1sh, What amazes me when reading Jesus passion in the gospels is that although he had a lot of followers, all of them cowered and went into hiding when Jesus was captured and put on trial. It seems that not only there was Jude who betrayed him but even Peter denied that he knows Jesus. It seems that his twelve apostles all abandoned him in time of need. No one stood up for him. No one had the courage to fight for him. No one dared to challenge the civil authorities. It is true that that the Jewish Sanhedrin was very powerful and no one dared to challenge its authority..... I don't think that I would have the guts to challenge the authority knowing that I will end up crucified as he did.

A little look at history tells me that Christ was not the only one that was nailed to a cross on that famous day. It was back then a normal punishment. Not sure there would have been any way of saving him. Odds are an attempt to save him would have ended in my joining him.

Hi P1ke, As you know I am not a christian but Jesus was a man who walked this earth, personally I wouldn't go back to save him, but do wish that the religion that was then which was then had stayed as it was..there were a lot of Seers and Magi's then too if you understand what I mean..LoLo

I'm thinking he wouldn't let me...

calling christian are the calls for non muslims, but there is a right to call the person christian because in this world be lived there are true christian and a false christian., those true chistian is the one who were able to follow what is written in the bible

This question reminded me of the time when I was young, watching Jesus movies on then, VHS tape, and I wish I was there, kidnapping Jesus so his life could be spared. But now that I am older, I understood the purpose why he had to come to Earth and to die and that is to save us all. So my answer is NO. But I guess I would have asked him that when the time comes for me to die, I would be with him in Paradise, just like what the other crucified criminal had said.

Would not be possible. Even if we were able to go back in to, God himself ordained that Christ should die to save his people. God would never allow even a time traveler to stop this from happening.

hi pikey well if Iwere able to go back in time, I still would not be able to save Christ as much as I would have wanted not because it would screw up the Christian Church as we know but because God would stop me in some way as he ordained that all this should happen, that is what I believe any way, I have a kind heart and would have wanted to save him, but yet I am certain it would not have been allowed, some action of God would have stopped me from doing this. Sad but thats what I feel, kind of hard to answer because my first thought was to be humane, I worked most of my life as a nurses aide and was always thinking of saving lives, not letting someone be killed and in such a dreadful way too. hope I make sense here.

Knowing the reason for the crucifixion, no I would not stop it.

I like to believe I would try but, GOD Almighty wouldn't have it though. Because of the sins of Adam & Eve "WE" as GOD's children NEEDED JESUS CHRIST's blood sacrifice in order to receive GOD's inheritance for us his children which is eternal life with him.

I think the best foundation of Christian faith is the Resurrection because we got salvation through Christ. We cannot revert it because I believe that what we have done is fix. We born We die and life goes on in the next generation.

Even if I wanted to, I can't- and I think Jesus wanted it,He wanted God's will to be done so we should respect His decision.The least I could do is help Him and fend of the people who hurt Him- even help Him carry His cross.
