Great opinion! This is a great explanation to consider. Thank you for exposing you thoughts with a calm civilised manner. It feels great to actually talk in here instead of heated attacks.
So, you're saying that Jesus died, but his teachings survived in each of us?
This is something I have not considered. He would effectively be ''eternal'' that way.

We are not talking about Easter. This thread is talking about the ressurection of Jesus: do you think he did it, or that he didn't do it??

Everyone is eternal friend, our spirits have no mass, they are in no way affected by gravity or acceleration, therefore...
You know the rest of that story.

Well its tomorrow. Was Jesus suppose to kill me or something?
Take some responsibility for your life and stop putting it in the hands of God.
This is why so many kids are screwed up because their parents leave everything up to Religion. "I'll pray for you.."
Even our money has "In God we Trust". I trust God? Why?
Of course by God though, TPTB means Satan

He is in all of us... each an every one... His laws written in the hearts and minds of men...
Check the last line of Matthew...
and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

Yes, key point there and that appears what they were speaking.
Reincarnation is the same sort of issue, as the person's ideas live on in others.
That appears to be the key meaning behind Revelations and the Jesus' return, via the world's reconition of his ideals.

Hold on dude, Christ wasn't speaking to the wold, He was speaking to His sheep. In the garden He specifically says He is NOT praying for the world, but His disciples and those who would believe on Him through their testimony. (John 17)
And Pantheism is a doctrine of devils. God is omnipresent, but He is also transcendent above all His creation. Not everyone is born again by the Spirit of the Living God.
Parable support: wheat and tares
I am not Christ...

Try to demonize Jesus is the best they can do by trying to trick people now into believing he was the antichrist.
And not to mention "ante" in the Greek doesn't mean opposite of/against. It means "in place of/before" (example: anteNicean fathers). The antichrist will be someone who sits in the temple who claims he is god with all signs and lying wonders. Jesus said this man would come in his own name and the whole world would follow after him in a demonic trance. He'll come and try to convince the world he is the real Jesus of Nazareth. The Muslims are waiting for this fake Jesus too, he's supposed to appear with the Mahdi

OK... disregard that quote then... He was talking to his disciples not the world...
I AM telling you he is always with everyone...

I'm happy to see that the heat went down; make it a little easier to discuss.
So, most of you believe that even though Jesus survived his crucification, he still left something inside of all of us? Is that not still a good reason to have respect for him and his teachings?
truth weens out the chaff them naysayers bring.

No He isn't. You must abide in Him, and He in you, ye must be born again like He said. It's sexual language, when He said "Depart from me, I never "knew" you, ye that work iniquity.." He's talking about people who THINK they are Christians who He never had an intimate relationship with. "Knew" is the Greek term "Gnosis", meaning intimate knowledge. He desires a personal relationship with Him.
That first begins with humbling oneself, accepting His offer of redemption through His blood, affirming His Lordship and His role as Savior, and having a relationship with Him. the primary result of that is reading His Word, He is the Word made flesh.
