Usually a name referring to Jesus of Nazareth, who lived from around 0 B.C to 33 A.D. His birth is celebrated on Cristmas day. He was supposedly born of the virgin Mary, and started preaching when he was about 30 years old. He went around the countryside preaching messages of peace, love, and acceptance. He was commonly mistaken as a political revolutionary, uprising against the Roman Empire which was occupying the region at the time.
According to the Bible, he was both God-like and human-like, though nowadays the human part is often forgotton. He hung out with theives, crooks, prostitutes, and other people who were deemed "unacceptable" by society. He perfomed "miracles", such as turning water into wine, calming storms, multiplying bread, etc. Some people interpret these stories literally, while others interpret them metaphorically.
Jesus, by today's standards, would be considered a hippie, a leftie, and an extremist. He preached acceptance and tolerance, not racist, sexist, and homophobic policies.
He was not a pacifist. His whole "turn the other cheek" thing is advising people to use nonviolent resistance. In those times, a slap with the back of the hand was an insult, while a slap with the palm was illigal. The scripture says that if someone hits you on the RIGHT cheek... People's left hands were considered "unclean" and therefore they would have to hit you with their right hand, and to do it on the right cheek would have to be backhanded. If you turn the other cheek, you are forcing them to hit you with their palm, which then would be illegal. There are many other scriptures like this one that are interpreted out of context and have distorted meanings. (hope that clarified things)
Jesus died on a crucifix, the modern-day symbol of christianity. The crucifix was a torture device used by the Romans as punishment. Tons of people tend to forget the origin of the cross. He was accused of calling himself the son of God (which he never did), died on Good Friday, and was resureccted on Easter Sunday.

1.Chrisitanity's object of worship. A Middle Eastern Jew generally believed to be a good bloke, around about 2000 years ago in the Roman province of Judaea who preached messages of compassion and understanding in the area. These messages conflicted with traditional and roman religions in the area so he was exectuted. After the theft of his body, his followers spread the teachings of jesus to the main centre of civilisation at the time, Rome, where it became a major cult, eventually influencing the socio-political state there. This led to the subsequent adoption of "Chrisitanity" as the state religion in Rome after Emperor Constantine, an act for which he was cannonised later. It was at this point with the founding of a central theocracy that the Gospels were written by Roman priests and the whole son of god term was coined.

The Holy Son of God, The creator of the the Universe, and of all life, who was born of the Virgin Mary, lived on earth, was crucified and after his death was resurrected into heaven, and will return one day to judge the living and dead. Those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
I was a addicted to drugs, committed adultery, slept with prostitutes, with another mans wife, and was a thief too. I realized i was wrong, my life was upside down and I was in emotional torment and guilt. I confessed my sins to the Lord Jesus Christ, asked Him to be the Lord of my life, and he forgave my sins and renewed my spirit. I have given up the former ways and no longer desire to do those things which separated me from God (Jesus). He has also promised me Eternal life in Heaven which is his eternal Gift for those that believe in Him.

A man who once wanted people to live in peace and harmony, and to love one another. Although, is now being used as a way to bash certain communities of people, mostly (gay) people. The group of people that do the bashing are, (Rednecks) and (Christians).
Get over it, if he wanted you all to fight, Jesus wouldn't of gotten himself killed.

The Son of God sent down to the world of the living to purify the sins of the world and remind people of the scriptures. He died on a cross so that we could be forgiven. Some would denounce Jesus as a fag, but if that is what you think, I truly pity you. Some denounce Jesus by claiming that there is no God. I forgive you, but I will state one thing: if there was no God, all things would be possible.
When Jesus died on the cross, the blood from his wounds flowed like a healing ointment to cleanse us of our sins, just a rubbing alchohol cleanses a wound.
