BEFORE I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION...
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, JESUS INS'T JUST A BIBLICAL CARACTER, HE'S ALSO A HISTORICAL FIGURE AS WELL...a dude named Jesus actually walked the earth about 200 years ago...most people don't know this...they aren't sure whether if Jesus was real or made up...
but to ya question, this is proof that Jesus WAS THE TRUE MESSIAH and that Christianity is the only true religion...as you all know Jesus had 12 cats following Him and that spread His message after He died...these guys went all throughout the meditereanean spreading the Gospel and what not...
BUT HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART THAT PROVES JESUS WAS THE MESSIAH AND WAS NOT A PHONY: the way that His followerers died....all twelve of these men were cruley put the death for telling the story of a "magician" as some called Him...some were stoned to death, thrown into lion's dens, and one was even crucified up side down....
these men risked and gave up their lives to teah the message of the Messiah...and these weren't poor men looking for a way to escape the cruel life of those times...they were shepeards and so on...men who had money....WOULD YOU GIVE UP YOUR FUTURE CAREER JUST TO WALK AOURND TELLING PEOPLE THAT YOU SAW SOMEBODY FLY AND TURN WATER INTO SODA JUST TO BE **** FOR IT LATER ON? no....their actions in my opinion prove that Jesus was the rue Messiah...
compare that to Islam and Muhhamad....Muhammad just had a "dream" one day and beleieved he was talking to some cat named allah...and islam spread from IT'S beginning from muhamads warriors raiding village to village and tell people to join him or die...
CHRISTIANITY WASN'T SPREAD LIKE THAT IN IT'S BEGINNINGS...yeah the crusades followed years later, but from the get go, no one was forced to follow Jesus...they chose to...islam and muhhamad and allah n junk wasn't like that from the beginning...THAT'S WHAT MAKES CHRISTIANITY TRUE TO ME...
oh yeah...to anwer you're question "Would I have followed Jesus?"
i hope and pray that i would have...i'm not the bravest cat in the world, but i know it would have broke his haert for Him to see me let Him down after he sacrafised Himself for me....:arrow:
are u a christian bushpimp??

I'm pretty sure Jesus didn't want to give up his life and his family for some people who could care less...............but He did it anyway so that we all could be saved.........
And if it were between my family and Jesus....sorry fam, but i'd choose Jesus in a heartbeat.........
:arrow:
And nothing against you or what you believe Roddy...Twin still loves ya 
Hell ya u gotta think of it like this. Basically back in them days you was givin up all your family and ****for a person who you really werent even sure if he was the Messiah. I mean I could see if I was out in the boat when he walked on water but if I was just chillin and he came up to me talkin bout leave your family and follow me I woulda had to take a raincheck. Its easy to say you would follow him now because we KNOW he is the Son of God. Back then he was basically a dude claimin to be the Son of God.
