The most influential people in the world.

Iam a Submitter(Muslim) he is also one of the role model in my life.I believe that he is one of the prophet of God.And I also firmly believe in God, the One and Only! God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him.

True God and True Man.
To Christians he is God and Savior
To Muslims he is still alive prophet
So you have two largest factions in world believing in him.
That should be reason enough!!

Although many of the most successful religious cults call out their name for the Master Teacher, few of these cultists pay any real attention to the lessons of Yeshua. 

UPDATE:

Jesus is getting a bad rap based on the behavior of cultists who murder in his name.

One Christian tries to put the blame on atheists:

Very great prophet and messenger of God. Is only a step below Prophet Muhammed in greatness, in that Jesus Christ was sent to preach to the 12 Tribes of Israel, while Prophet Muhammed was sent to preach to the whole world. AMong all prophets Jesus Christ holds the record for making the most miracles. His miracle in bringing people back from the dead was simply amazing!

Jesus gets double the votes cuz Christians and Muslims would both vote for him.

the reason Muhammad should be 1 is because first of all the entire world has his name being pronounced and praised upon 24-7 literally, 5 times a day, in every single time zone. His teachings are followed WAY more than Jesus's. That's ifjesus's teachings are even authentically saved. People literally step by step try to be like Muhammad, even in the way they sleep, dress, eat, use the bathroom and to the last details. EVEN in bed with their spouses. read the book http://www.dlmark.net/hundred.htm by Michael Hart, a man who did his research. He's Christian himself, so why'd he place Muhammad first. I could understand that if he placed him 23, there could have been a mistake in his research or his ordering system, and maybe instead of 23 he really could be 24 or 25 or even lower. But he placed him number ONE, and didn't even put Jesus as second. Because he knows his facts and did his proper research. There's yet to be a man, who within 23 years created one of the nations largest religions and ALSO the fastest growing (which means soon to be the largest), and at the same time, a military leader of one of the greatest empires at the time, the greatest political leader, the greatest judge to the point where ALL the jews and christians even in their disputes between muslims, came to Muhammad to settle it, because they knew he was the most just person on earth and the most honest and truthful. He was the greatest medical doctor of that time, by authentically proven sources: he was known to be the best father, husband of many women who, for some, he didn't evne get a chance to visit, but he married them regardless and sent money over on a regular basis to have them looked after and taken care of. And the type of ruler he was? When the roman empire sent their men to visit him, they came back and said (not in exact words) that i have seen the kings of many nation, but i have never seen such love and respect for a leader like Muhammad from his people. And this is coming from the people in arabia who HATED him, they were disgusted with his existence. But after seeing his life and characteristics, they became like tihs. He was known in a world of chaos as the most trustworthy and honest person in All of arabia at the time. This is just a random general point coming from me, if you sincerely.. KEYWORD sincerely.. go and learn about his life, his teachings, and the revelation of the koran.. by trustworthy authentic sources.. then if you wish to deny that he's the greatest man to walk this earth and what he taught was the truth.. you may do so. until then, no one has the right to talk cuz no one knows anything about him.

Now don't get me wrong, I didn't say he's better than Jesus, because even in Muhammads time, Muhammad himself got angry at some of his companions who were trying to compare him to Moses or Jesus and arguing with the Christians who's better. all i'm saying is, he really is number 1 - as in the most influential. that's a fact. and that's unbiased. like it actually is a fact, no one on earth can prove it wrong. trust me, i was probably the MOST against his teachings until i actually opened my eyes and tried to learn and use common sense. ---- God or a part of God being crucified and killed for the sake of peoples sins, never made sense to me. Why would God send Himself, to get killed on eart for peoples sins? Muhammad teaches that God is ONE and he's the MOST forgiving and MOST mercificul. You turn to him and ask forgiveness and He'll forgive you in a second. Wouldn't it make more sense for God to raise a messenger to preach such teachings? rather than become a man and walk on earth. What a Godly thing to do.

But anyway.. Jesus all the way! I love him, and Muslims love him. but Muhammad is number 1.

By the way, people today think that Muslims with beards are terrorists and what not, this is how influential Muhammad was, to the point that Muslims even keep a beard JUSTTT because he did, it's the Muslim appearance and 'fashion'. Jesus had a beard too, yet it's not really a Christian thing, and if it is, it's only for the minority. Not Christians in general. --- just an example of the difference in how much they influenced people

jesus belongs to christians only.i think he is not a great person.

Jesus was certainly influential, but you have to admit that his impact was not always positive. I would definitely say the Christianity in Europe was overwhelmingly characterized by corruption, and the bible was one of the most expensive books until Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press. In fact, science and philosophy evolved as almost a counterculture movement during the enlightenment period and so on. Christianity hindered progression, and I therefore find Jesus deserves 1 star.

It's pretty hard to underestimate the impact that Jesus has had on the world, and I don't think anyone who has thought about it more than a second is going to argue with that...

Changed the calandar, changed the face of the Entire Roman Empire, Europe, North and South America, Russia now and Russia a hundred years ago. Influenced Science (both positively and negatively) influenced academia.Many Ivy League Universities would not exist if not for the Church. Influenced wars, art, culture and advancement of civilization.  The Historical Jesus is the Single Most Influential Person in the entire History of the World. Whether you believe he was the Christ or think he was merely man, his impact can not be overstated.

Whether you believe he was/is the son of God or not. Whether you even believe he existed. Whether he is understood even by his followers. His person or mythical figure is the most influential in history, felt all over the globe in one form or another.

he helped this world be what it is so I think that he definetly deserves five stars!

he invented christianity

Christianity is the most widespread religion in the world, so Jesus must be more influential than Muhammad.

How can you hate JC? He was all about love baby! Regardless of if you believe in Christianity he was a very peaceful individual that encouraged others to be self-sacrificing and kind. Can't go wrong with that!

He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I'd say He has been pretty
influential and still is; otherwise there wouldn't be so many topics on
Him.

the king and the son

Jesus(Isa) is the one i respect the most after Prophet Muhammad(saw)

Without him there's no us..And for the people that rated him 4 and below yall goin to HELL...Because you gotta believe in him in order to go to heaven.

Jesus christ is the lord and saviour of humanity period.

He is EVERYTHING!

5, of course...it's academic.

Jesus Christ is my savior and Lord. Without him my life means nothing. My life with Jesus is the best thing that can happen. Who wouldn't want a life with Jesus? Jesus Christ died and rose again for my sins and the sins of the world and is in my heart and in his throne in heaven. All will see that Jesus Christ is Lord whether they believe in him now, later, or not at all. Without him we are condemned to everlasting hell, but he died on the cross so that sinners like us can live eternal life in heaven with God. To learn more, go to a local protestant church.

Jesus, my Savior and Lord, died for the sins of everyone, and loves all, even those who make fun of Him and His followers. I love Him, and always will. He's the eternal Son of God who reigns forever on High.

And for those who think Jesus was fictitious: even secular world
history doesn't deny His existence and His crucifixion. Anyone
who goes into depth into these studies will see this for themselves.

I know some of you want to mark this "funny" (as I can see has already made a good start). Well, have at it. Just means more points for me. ;-)

Jesus is not only revered by devout Christians the world over but those of other religions don't dispute to influence Jesus had when alive and today. The Bible is still the most sold book in the world. By far, my saviour is the most influential person in the world.

Jesus is the Almighty. He is one of the most influential people of all time . Without him we would all be going to hell. Then without God we would be nothing.

He died on the cross for my sins so I can avoid hell and go to Heaven!

He died on the cross for my sins so I can avoid hell and go to Heaven!

  One of the greatest Prophets of God. Blessed with the bible(which st.paul horribly vandalised).  He wasn't the founder of Christianity, st.paul was. He came to remind ppl of God. One of the greatest men to ever live.

Anyways, all the christians who believe he is God,why are u rating? this list is ABOUT the most influential MAN, HUMAN in the world. GOD is ABOVE ALL. GOD shulnt be included in this list.

The debate isn't if Jesus is real or mythical, the debate lies within the influence he has had these past 2 centuries.  I am going to write this review on the assumption that Jesus Christ was indeed a real human being.  Yet I refuse to specify if some or most of his life is based upon myth.  The way I see it, it doesn't matter.  Jesus single handedly created the worlds most popular religion.  He has influenced many, he is also probably the most recognized name in world history.  Yet regardless of the accomplishments he had done or didn't do, the name Jesus Christ has influenced warfare, love, and charity.  Lift his name on high, and if you don't, someone else is bound to.

This is not the most influential person in history. This is the most influential myth.

While Jesus is a true, historical character, most of the accomplishments attributed to him are a myth, and a juxtaposition of events pertaining to the lives of numerous prophets. Thus, he does not deserve such acclaim, but the mythology surrounding him does. His claim to fame is the product to the imagination of others.

There is absolutely no one in history like Jesus Christ. Both man and God, His church has survived for over 2,000 years despite all the efforts of Satan and his followers.

How can you not consider Him an influencial person?  Wether you believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God or not, he was a very real person!  And in all reality,  who else has maintained as much popularity after all this time?

Jesus is the bomb! We Roll Mad Deep, yo!

The man with power of God

What Jesus did could not even be contained in a book.

his teachings are responsible for more deaths than any one in history

I'd like to remind everyone that this poll is about influence, not how much you like him. Any founder of a major world religion is near the top of the polls in my vote.

He is just the best human being to walk this earth.

Flavius Josephus (37-97 AD), court historian for Emperor Vespasian: "At this time there was a wise man who was called Jesus. And his conduct was good and he was known to be virtuous. And many people from among the Jews and other nations became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. And those who had become his disciples did not abandon his discipleship. They reported that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion and that he was alive; accordingly, he was perhaps the messiah concerning whom the prophets have recounted wonders."

The King of Kings. Jesus is and always will be the most Influential person in world history. I aspire to be more like him. He is the greatest example known to mankind, not to mention the savior.

Not only is Jesus Christ the most influential of all time but He is the only one whose influence really matters.  Sure there are many people that influence during this life in many ways, some in a good way and some in a bad way.  However, only through our acceptance of Jesus Christ can we have eternal life.   No matter how influential any other person that has ever existed may have been, they will ALL eventually kneel before Jesus and confess that He is Lord.  (Philippians 2:9-11) Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name.  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth.  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.   Sounds pretty influential to me!

I notice so many post that He is and was a good man, He came in the flesh, but also He is very much God. He was more than "a good man" He is God, He is the creator of everything (Col 1- Heb 1:1) He also became sin for mankind (2 Cor 5:21) so man would not face condemnation, but man has to believe and trust what He did for them at the cross, and His ressurrection. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you SHALL BE SAVED. How simple is that? But, most people think It's "funny" scoff all you want unbelievers, there is coming a day when you won't think It's funny. Jesus Loves you more than you will know, He paid the price for you. Buddah did not, neither did Mohammed, they are dead, and so is Joseph Smith. Christ is alive!..

If Jesus (PBUH) was alive he would be ashamed to be first and not the prophet Mohammed (PBUH)

No other figure comes close to changing the world for the better -- both before and after -- Jesus of Nazareth, the one true Messiah

He was, He is and He will be the most peacefull person in the history, Mankind, never will see another person like him, really, he was the sprit of the God.

Of course

The awsome Son of God

More than just influencing the society and people as a whole ...He still influences individuals in ways that no one can....In ways that only God can....Because He is God.

The greatest man who ever lived. Period.
