Who is Jesus?

When questioned about my belief, I must do the best I can to defend what I believe in. So I will try to explain who Jesus is while considering the questions I might be asked. Jesus was born of a virgin mother named Mary in Jerusalem. God made this possible and he protected Jesus, Mary, and Jesus' father Joseph from those who might try to kill them. The reason people wanted him dead was because he was the son of God and the Romans did not want a child to be their King. Jesus managed to avoid the Romans for a very long time. In this time period he performed miracles and showed many acts of kindness, at this point someone might ask if Jesus is a man how could he perform miracles? To answer that, Jesus didn't actually do the miracles himself , God did miracles through Jesus. After a long time of performing miracles, it was time for Jesus to make the ultimate sacrifice. Dying for our sin's. Now they might wonder how could the death of one man forgive the sins of every human being. Well as some know Christians believe in the trinity which means that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are one in the same. Some may interpret this in different ways, how I interpret it is that all three deserve equal amount of praise rather than they are all equal in body. Of all three God is the strongest, the Holy Spirit is the most compelling and Jesus is the forgiver. After all it was Jesus and his man made body that died on the cross, not God or the Holy Spirit. But at the same time they are still the same. When you are in church and talking about God, you are also referring to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. So Jesus, is a Man, God, and the son of God, and that's how it will always be no matter the interpretation.    

defending your faith

It's always hard to know how to argue with a religion you know nothing about, which is why when creating an argument you should know as much as you can about the other persons belief. So when it comes to a situation where you have to defend your belief, you should see what the other person thinks about your religion before pointing out faults in there's. Many questions about Christianity will be asked like, "My mother worked in the soup kitchen and always helped those who needed but she was not a Christian, so is she going to hell?" or "If God loves us why would he allow sin into the world?" etc... So when your faith is questioned you must be ready to tell them the truth even if the truth may seem unfair. Even with the hard truth there are still the good things in Christianity to point out like the relationship we have with God, the rapture, and just some major historical facts on Christianity. Then listen to their argument carefully and know the distinct differences between your faith and their's. Then point out biblical facts that disprove what they argue. then when all is said and done, tell them about the gospel and the love that Jesus shared with us. and to end it off, if they allow it, ask them if you can pray for them and hopefully the holy spirit will enter their hearts through prayer and they will become a changed human being all because of the faithful and knowledgeable argument you put up to defend Gods glory.
