Who Really Killed Jesus From the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 20, verses 17-19: As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day."

They just *hate* it when we do that, don't they? ;-) When we ask for proof, they say we are not worthy. Easy way to avoid the question -- reminds one of the tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes." It's blind faith, and blind faith alone. Heaven's Gate-class blind faith.
I figure you have to be, to make sick little revisionist remarks.
The reality is that we don't know anything of substance about Jesus. For all we know -- and I think it likely -- he was a first-century L. Ron Hubbard, whose real life never quite measured up to his followers' claims. After all, he *certainly* doesn't live up to it today. The historians and intellectuals of the day didn't bother to mention him (at least, those whose accounts have survived in some way, shape, or form). The rabbinical writings are completely devoid of references to him. Josephus was apparently altered to mention him. He wasn't much of an issue until the Christian cult surfaced around seven or eight decades later, which implies that he wasn't much of anything in real life. "Miracles?" LOL! The god who supposedly scourged the Temple of the evil moneychangers can't even put TBN out of business. How *can* you have faith in an impotent ancient sky-pixie, Chas?

Yes, but just with original sin, for which you may easily atone. Matter of fact you can keep right on sinning (as they all do) --- even terrible, despicable sins --- and then just pass go and collect your free atonement. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8.

Yup. Create the disease, then sell the cure. The plot of Mission Implausible II, and a Madison Avenue staple since there WAS a Madison Avenue. :) I've never done anything God has forbidden, or not done anything God has required of me. So there, Christians!

So now, if Ken would only accept Jesus' sacrifice, and receive Christ as his Saviour and Lord, Ken will have new life in Christ. Then, when Ken stands before God at the Final Judgement, he will have Christ to plead his case for him, so that he may gain entrance into heaven and avoid eternal torment and damnation in the lake of fire. -- Theodore A.

You do err in that you know not the Scripture: "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" [Rom. 6:1-2, KJV]

Then, perhaps you could answer a question. If it is unreasonable to believe in the god of Ted Kaldis (Jesus as Messiah) in the absence of credible evidence, why is it not unreasonable to believe in the God of Abraham in the absence of credible evidence? What you believe is none of my concern, as long as you don't insinuate it into my life, whether it involves preaching, getting us into a war we have NO business fighting, or poaching the U.S. Treasury to support your little colony.

Woooo Hooo!!! Standing ovation!!!! The crowd goes wild!!! I also like the bit where Jesus, this nice Jewish boy, grows up and says to his friends, "eat my body and drink my blood" right in the middle of a seder. Talk about sick.

Easy way to avoid the question -- reminds one of the tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes." It's blind faith, and blind faith alone. Heaven's Gate-class blind faith. The reality is that we don't know anything of substance about Jesus. For all we know -- and I think it likely -- he was a first-century L. Ron Hubbard, whose real life never quite measured up to his followers' claims. After all, he *certainly* doesn't live up to it today. The historians and intellectuals of the day didn't bother to mention him (at least, those whose accounts have survived in some way, shape, or form). The rabbinical writings are completely devoid of references to him. Josephus was apparently altered to mention him. He wasn't much of an issue until the Christian cult surfaced around seven or eight decades later, which implies that he wasn't much of anything in real life. "Miracles?" LOL! The god who supposedly scourged the Temple of the evil moneychangers can't even put TBN out of business. How *can* you have faith in an impotent ancient sky-pixie, Chas?
