» Brian Tubbs - Characteristics of Christ

Pink has challenged me to list some of the qualities, factors, or characteristics of Jesus that set him apart from all others. This was a request of his that came in response to my claim that no one comes close to Jesus.

In order to have this discussion, we must agree on some parameters.

I am going to base my description of Jesus on the Bible. I'm aware that there are some in these discussion threads that don't accept the Bible. However, the Bible provides us the deepest and richest description of Jesus Christ. Without it, and we have only the basic structure of Christ's life - which is enough to prove Jesus' existence, but not enough to provide any color, depth, or personality.

So, if I'm to take up your challenge, Pink, I do so, based on the Jesus of the Bible.

The idea of a challenge exists in your mind, Brian.
.
I have not challenged you at all.
.
Please be kind enough to allow me to represent my own self in this matter.
.
I asked you to show the characteristics that set Christ apart from the rest of us. That's all. I never asked for a list of Jesus' personal characteristics.
.
But, seeing that you have created a special thread for Jesus Christ, it might be a good idea to recognize that there truly is a biblical difference between the human Jesus and the concept of the Christ. Even so, the two are seen as one in Christian doctrine.
.
This might be a good place to start your commentary.

If the Bible doesn't provide enough about Jesus' color, depth, or personality, from what other authoritive source do you get this information about him?

I misread your comment. Sorry, Brian. Disregard my previous question.
.
I'd like to hear the "deepest and richest description of Jesus Christ". Yes, about his color, depth, or personality.
