Ted Jesus Christ GOD
Ted Kurts is a humble guy. All he asks is that you recognize that he's the Messiah and the second coming of Jesus Christ. You doubt his claim? You want proof? Then check out his photo to the right. Doesn't he look eerily like certain portrayals of Christ? What better proof could you ask for? Oh, and please don't refer to him as Ted Kurts. It's Ted Jesus Christ God, to you. When I come across sites like this it's hard to know if they're supposed to be taken seriously or not. I kinda suspect Ted is serious. Or maybe not. Who knows. But Ted Jesus Christ God says that anyone who links to his site will be blessed, so if he does turn out to be the real thing, then I've got my bases covered.

Harry: I appriciate your search for truth. You've done a lot of research but just because you've done research doesn't definitively explain God, world and how it all works. If you claim that, I'd worry that you're starting to cross the line to join the nut cases claiming diety. The Bible is a hard read, especially when you appraoch it skeptically and without the Holy Spirit. I know that Christianity has let you down. As a member of the Body of Christ, I'm sorry for any pain you gone through because of anyone claiming Jesus. AS FOR TED: The reason the NT tells us that we can know all these nuts claiming to be God are NOT is because Jesus offers us a conselor (the Holy Spirit) to help us understand spiritual things when we truly accept Jesus as the sacrifice for our sin and decide to follow him. There is no need for a temporal god on earth because each believer has God inside of them if they choose to listen. The third person of the trinity of God is often ignored by the secular world because, well, it's completely spiritual. God is very real, the Bible is the best thing we have to learn about God, and it takes spiritual sight to understand some of the mysteries, and some of those myteries we may never understand in this world because it's too much for us.

Gee, this one took a whole 2 seconds of thought.
Didn't anyone else notice this guy looks 100%, absolutely, totally and completely, NOT like jesus?
Sorry to burst the bubbles of the so called "good christians" but jesus was born/raised in an area of the world where people have a much darker skin color. Since the soldiers needed someone to "point him out" it means jesus didnt stand out in a crowd or he would have been easy to spot.
That basically means, jesus wasnt white. At least no where near as white as all the paintings, pictures, and other crap that people pass around that's supposed to look like/be jesus.

GEOFF- All you are doing is repeating standard conservative Christian theology. Where's the evidence? See my post on June 2nd here & check the info & links out.
Also, saying that 'Jesus' is not God, but the Son of God answers nothing. Traditional Trinitarians believe both- definition & evidence for your view?

PART 1 of 2:
About AMY's comments: Thanks for the concern, but you miss it on a few levels:
1) If you think that "If [I] Claim[ed] that" my research "definitely explain[s] God, world, and how it all works", then " [you'd] worry that [I was] starting to cross the line to join the nut cases claiming deity", then you just labeled many of the Bible writers as either crossing or at nut case-hood! Just because you believe them to be the only ones to give divine scripture as the Christian Bible, or they have been accepted by so-called 'orthodoxy', doesn't prove it.
2) Where did you get that far-fetched idea? I never even hinted at that! This is how far off I have seen Christians go when they come across objections, or people who have left the fold. You should deal with what I said, not what your imagination can come up with which I never said/hinted/thought. That would be more honest.
3) There are Christians, Jews, and others who would assert THEY have divine revelation on those issues, not I.
4) The Christian Bible is far from being "definitely" shown as inspired by a perfect deity! You should check out the links I gave on June 2, and do an honest & open minded/hearted search through what my story has, and what others have written on the Christian Bible:
http://profiles.yahoo.com/biblebelievernomore
That has a link to my deconversion story located on another site, and other links.
http://www.infidels.org/index.shtml
Go through this link topically, a search on defenders of Christianity, etc.
Also, please read Tim Callahan's "Bible Prophecy: Failure or Fulfillment?" Not perfect, but many good points.
5) I plainly said that I used to be a born again Christian but left after seeing that the case for the NT Jesus fail & I went into a little detail. If you read that, checked out my Yahoo profile link & checked it out and believed what I myself said, you would know that when I did my studies, I WAS a born again Christian and did not start my studies "skeptically and without the Holy Spirit", as you said. Again, you went off of what I said and really didn't deal with what *I* said. I believed in 'Jesus' and the alleged physical resurrection of the NT Jesus. Romans 10:9-10 says that qualified me to be a Christian, and therefore I, according to your own NT in Rom. 8:9, HAD 'the Holy Spirit'. I wanted to check out what Jewish & other sources said about the Christian Bible and wanted to believe. I had NO intentions of leaving, but wanted to know truth.
Sorry, but you are off here.

PART 2-
More about AMY's comments:
6) The mindset you have is a danger of conservative Bible belief. Just because someone doesn't agree and convert to your version of Christianity, they are ipso facto at a disadvantage. They are blind, they can't understand, etc., which clearly is not true. It closes any converts' mind and heart to really take an HONEST look at objectives.
'Born again' Protestants, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and others can and have used the same as you, and it is a quick cover to keep converts in the fold.
It is intellectually dangerous and inherently dishonest. People are people. Some can understand the Bible more than others, no matter what they believe or don't about converting to your brand of the Only True Faith.
One of the things I can understand best is the Christian Bible.
7) I never said I left bornagainism over someone giving me pain, but because of what I found in the Christian Bible. The pain was from the failure of the Christian Bible as a divinely inspired and infallible collection of documents that I could trust on its collective Jesus being the messiah and its accounts from the trial(s), crucifixion/death, resurrection and ascension of its Jesus.
Why didn't you deal directly with what I shared? Why did you just state some outlandish comment about knowing "all", etc., when that is far from what I shared, far from what happened, far from what I claim?
Since your name isn't a link to your account, I also assume you just commented and left with no desire to read a reply from me or others. This isn't the first time professing Christians have read my words which clearly stated that I left over my studies in the Christian Bible, not hurt feelings, etc., but they were blind to what I said.
Not too much confidence of divine enlightenment when they will not or cannot read simple English and answer what is there without wanting, needing, whatever, to label people as they wish instead of how they are.
Please read what I say and understand what I wrote, especially when it is clearly before you.
I apprereciate the concern in your words, but it is misplaced and unfounded.

Actually, he looks a lot like Dennis Miller.Also like a friend of mine who works at a local auto repair shop and whom I'm reasonably sure is NOT Jesus.
Posted by Dave E on Sat Jul 10, 2004 at 03:36 AM
OK, I'm a Christian, so obviously I have no doubt in my mind that this person is NOT Jesus Christ. It suprises me that A] People beleive lies like this, and B] People are stupid enough to claim that they come anywhere close to being anything like Jesus Christ. I agree with several other people; Despite popular belief, Jesus Christ was NOT white, and He did NOT have long hair. He was born and raised in a part of the world where he would have had darker skin [not black, but not white either, which I find very interesting]. I had never thought about people like Jesus and Moses having darker skin, because you'll notice, Bible characters are portrayed with white skin a lot of the time. Jesus also did not have long hair, in fact, one of His disciples, Paul to be exact, preached against men having long hair. If Jesus had had long hair, why would Paul have preached against it? Plus, Jesus is not GOd Himself, but He is a part of him [The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost]. God in three persons. So, it would be literally, physically, mentally, spiritually, and technically impossible for this man to be the Son of God.

I checked this guys story out after receiving his "not spam" emails for awhile, according to the Wayback machine he really did work as a Silicon Valley CEO and his company was actually once touted as a soon to be Microsoft of Unix, he was a verifiable genius, or more likely idiot savant. Apparantly TJCG, aka Ted Kurtz, flipped out and simply walked away from everything. His former company is still in business but makes no mention or association with him whatsoever, except to pity his condition whenever the press asks about his whereabouts. This guy is a genuine nut and not the fake kind, and I do think he takes himself very seriously.

i followed the link and it took me to network solutions,not ted j.c. aka god.
but if this guy claims to be j.c. and you guys are discussing the possibilty, "idont see a difference , do you see a difference", youll all end up on the same ward folks.

If this so called Jesus was true, he wouldn't post it on the internet. I mean, If I was Jesus and had to show everyone, I'd show the whole world by DOING something, not making a completely un-belivable website with only the american and the israeli flag. I do think Jesus would know there are more countries than that. If he is the messiah, start healing some sick people!
Posted by Max in UK on Mon Aug 02, 2004 at 02:23 AM
I used to work as a case worker for folks with mental illness and TJCG's site reminds me of the stream of thought that I experienced with a lot of my clients. It's is almost like he is having all these thoughts and he wants to get them out so fast that they are very poorly organized and incoherant. Also, many people suffering from schizophrenia have delusions of granduer, and I even had a client who truly believed he was Jesus. I feel sorry for this gentleman b/c I believe he needs some assistance that he isn't currently receiving.
Posted by Josh on Thu Aug 05, 2004 at 08:30 PM
Hey, Harry, get a grip, man.
I started out by feeling sorry for Mr. TJCG. He is very clearly a deeply disturbed, mentally challenged individual. This messiah complex has evidently taken over his life. But at least he is providing entertainment to the masses by going public with it all.
But then my sympathy was redirected to poor saps like Harry who profess to have once believed in Christianity and now obviously are spending their lives researching everything that is wrong with the Christian faith and its teachings and now have to spread their new-found "wisdom" everywhere they can.
Harry, if this is how you really feel, that the Christian teachings are all bunk - fine. But then move on with your life, pal, and go out and live it. Spending your life's energy this way is unhealthy and sad. A waste of time in the pursuit of something, or the burial of it, is a waste of time either way. You and TJCG are rowing on the opposite sides of the same, sad boat. Twirling in circles on the same, pathetic sea.

"Ted will let you in CLOSE and then KILL you if this is in SELF DEFENSE or capture you and hand cuff you and citizen arrest you and turn you over to authorities."
somehow I don't think the real Son would be that viscious sounding. God is Love, God would never say things like that. Nor would he be so incoherent. Maybe I should offer to introduce him to one of my old therapists?
Much Love,
Molly

I think Ted sounds like a rather evil person if you should judge him from his website,I donå«t think Jesus would use words like that either.
