What IS Jesus Doing?
So many people quote the rather infamous four words, "What would Jesus do?” but here is the bigger question. What DID Jesus do? And an even bigger question is what IS Jesus doing?
People are thinking as if he is gone from our world. They don’t always understand that Jesus is still here with us working in and around us people seem to fail to recognize that He died on the cross to save us and to allow us all to get to heaven. Instead people think of him as a past wise man. He absolutely is a wise man. But he was also a teacher, a sacrifice, a way out, a second chance, our king and the son of God.Instead of asking others what Jesus would do, we should be asking Jesus himself what he would do from him. And ask others what Jesus did do, and is doing in us, for us, and around us.
What is Jesus doing in the world around you? In your life?

- About Me: I am a full time christian seeking to help others know more about god and to even get to know god. I am only 17 but wisdom comes through experience, and experience can come from age. But god calls us all no matter our age. If he is using us for his glory then age means nothing. I currently am apart of my youth groups worship team playing the drums. And as a future career i want to become a youth pastor just like the ones i look up to.

I like this, yes Jesus is active in the world in our lives in ways way beyond our understanding. We are his arms that hold others, voice that heals and our legs that go and seek, find and help.
peace
Mark
Jesus is promoting the popularity of shemales. He is getting tired of people pushing there dogmatism on weak minded vulnerable people who cannot think for themselves. Jesus want's a nation of critical thinkers who are not controlled by top down pyramid scheme collectivism.
probably about as much as the Xanga Team, keeping people in their place which means away from here when they don't belong here.
@LadyboyRevolution@xanga - you sound every bit like one of those elitest liberals.
@TNugents__Right@xanga - "Elitist liberals" -- words taken right out of the mouth of the fat drug addicted thrice divorced fraft dodging alcoholic and junior college drop out mouth piece of the illiterate right Rush Limpwrist.
Have any origianal thoughts of your own or are you one of those ignorant hillbilllies from the poor right.
Jesus (not even his real name) was a real person among many preachers in that erra but his deeds of mystical and magic are a myth. The storys of a man/god are borrowed from ancient religious cuts and attributed to this character Jesus and then perverted by men who seek power and money over other persons. It is the weak of mind and gullible who buy in to these stories and participate in bronze age religious dogma and practices like believing that you will live forever if you eat the flesh and drink the blood of a Jewish ZOMBIE>
@Captric@xanga - I think that was an anonymous comment, is that why your face isn't there? It's OK I don't shoot people, and I can talk about things OK too. I wouldn't say 'ignorant hillybilly' - is hillybilly even a word that really gets used anymore? I don't love ol Rush all that much believe it or not. Probably wouldn't give him my last quarter to call 911 to get himself to an NA meeting if he was on a relapse. don't like Trump either. Just a down to earth man, a working man and a Republican Conservative, Rush sounds stupid when he gets on that slut crap, what's wrong with sluts, I'm a fan..
@Captric@xanga - Jesus wasn't Jesus real name? I believe he was a real man, we agree on that, I'm not too interested in drinking Jewish zombie blood I thougt that was more a vampire thing, the blood thing I mean, not the zombie thing. Never heard of a Jewish zombie.
@TNugents__Right@xanga - I am certainly not hiding from anyhting and this not an anonymous post. I just have never liinked a photo to this website. We are both fans of sluts so possibly we have more in common than you might imagine.My disdain for Christianity is sort of akin to an ex smoker....the most rabid anti smokers are former smokers. It is an archiological fact thst the mythical stories attributed to Yeshua or Hesus Cristas or whomever you choose to believe that the name was pliagerized from during the the council of Nicose in the third century were used to describe many "man/gods" born of virgins before Jesus was ever a twinkle in the eyes of Joseph and Mary.
Jesus is the classical Zombie - dying and then arising from the dead - and Christians in the ancient pagan ritual of "holy communion" symbolically eat the flsh and drink the blood of jesus.
Recently at my church we had missionaries visit from I want to say Nepal. What I remember most was that they were staying with, feeding, and taking care of a school for the blind in the middle of the mountains that had lost its government funding. They had been planting churches all around the area, and once a year they get all of these churches together for one big meeting like a family. They needed more money for rice and potatoes though, and so we gave an offering. Our church gave $26,000 to feed them! We were all shocked we raised that much, and the missionaries were beyond grateful. Jesus is working in that area through these missionaries by feeding these people and telling them about the word.
@TNugents__Right@xanga - think again. I hate liberals!
@ilikesourskittles@xanga - Your church raised a lot of money, that was a great effort.
@LadyboyRevolution@xanga - Jesus is promoting the shemales?
@ReligiousPatriot@xanga - Jesus is a hermaphrodite!
@LadyboyRevolution@xanga - i'm pretty sure the bible calls him a man. not a hermaphrodite. yeah, just about any place i see it, Jesus is a man.... sorry. Although this does raise up a very awesome debate topic. what gender is god? although,I dont believe it changes anything. I believe that god does not have a gender. he is neither male or female. he is god. he has feminine and masculine traits. but more so masculine. but honestly, if it was important, i'm sure it would be somewhere in the bible saying 'Gods gender is...' but it doesn't. it references him to be a man many times. constantly it says 'he', 'him', 'his' and 'king'. i believe that if god was a woman, it would say 'she', 'her', 'hers' and queen', instead. but honestly. who cares if he has male parts or woman parts. not me. I dont think he really has a 'gender'.
@LadyboyRevolution@xanga - although i said that, I would greatly enjoy it if you debated on why it is you believe jesus is a hermaphrodite. I don't want an attack. im sick of seeing attacks on blogs against the beliefs of others. im sorry if i attacked you. instead of fighting fire with fire and burning down even more of the forest, im going to fight it with water and prevent the attacks. im sorry if i ever offended you. please debate, and respect faiths instead of attacking. its very tiring to read stupid arguments about nothing when i actually care about trying to grow my knowledge about the world i live in and the faith i believe in. thank you.
@jordon - if it was important, i'm sure it would be somewhere in the bible saying 'Gods gender is...' but it doesn't.
If the gay marriage debate was half as important or "evil" as the sex obsessed republitards made it out to be, Jesus would have actually said 1 thing about it but he doesn't.
@jordon - PS I was kidding about the hermaphrodite thing.
@LadyboyRevolution@xanga - honestly, I don't believe in gay or lesbianmarriage. but that's just me. it has nothing to do with religious views. its like a puzzle to me. two 'out' pieces obviously wont hold together, and two 'in' pieces don't as well. but an 'out' and an 'in' have the ability to fit, but that does not mean that every 'in' can fit an 'out' piece, or every 'out' can fit an 'in'. as for biblical views, i agree, I have not yet found ANYTHING in the bible saying specifically "two woman should not be together", or saying "two men should not be together". I will happily look though, because I never really thought about this and now I'm quite curious. Oh and just for random political reasons, i do have two lesbian aunts, who are married. I do not preach at them and call them disgusting,because really I don't think its right, but my opinion does not make it wrong, so i keep my mouth shut. its their free will. and until god shows me with good biblical scripture, that what they are doing is a sin, I will continue to hold my tongue. they have free will, let them have it. but don't allow them to hurt anyone with the free will, and get away with it unpunished.
@jordon - so obviously you are one of the better Christians. That's good to hear :)
@LadyboyRevolution@xanga - i try to be, I still fall occasionally. actually quite often. but its NOT the falls that make us who we are, its how we pull ourselves back up. and I cant find anything saying that gay marriage is wrong. im finding sexual sin references. but nothing else. and from what I've seen so far, it does not say that gay marriage is a sexual sin either. my best guess as to why it is that 'Christians' believe that gay marriage is wrong, is because of society, both now and back in biblical times. society back then did not really have any issues with two men getting married or two women getting married. my best guess is that the people who were gay, were stoned because it was alienated and against the belief system. now its illegal to stone people, so I guess that people can only protest about it... still not sure. once I've finished studying other 'religions', I think im going to study this. It has really gotten my brain thinking.
@jordon - as far as Christianity is concerned, 93% of all communication is body language, so words mean very little, deeds more important :)
@LadyboyRevolution@xanga - very true.still cant find anything. I have just asked my pastor for help, because maybe he can help me find some scripture. he kind of has the same belief I have on gay marriage. except Im the one that brought it to his attention. I do not see anything morally wrong. Physically, yes, only because i am not attracted to guys. I will never shun away someone who has a different attraction than me. because everyone is different, and I've learned to accept that. "instead of pushing away with hate and anger, pull with love and allow your ears to remain open, for that is the only way to truly coexist in the world"
@jordon - the end of Romans chapter 1 calls for there execution :) it is definitely in there. I use to hold to the doctrine of "infallibility" but after studying the bible night and day for 1 year full time nonstop I gave that doctrine up.
