Good morning, Guest.

I found this the other day and was wondering what you all think.http://www.henrymakow.com/jesus_was_not_a_jew_--benjamin.html. I think it's well past time that you learn to read critically, that you learn to critically assess what you read, and that you learn how to think critically. It is true that most Jews today are not Semites but is this the Jewish people in and of themselves not Jewish but as it says in this article Judean. Who says that 'most Jews today are not Semites'? Henry Mackow? So was Jesus Judean or Jewish? Given that Jesus didn't live in Judea, he clearly wasn't Judean. Given that he Jesus was racially semitic, that he followed Yahweh, that he attended Synagogue, and that he was Torah-observant, I think it fair to say that Jesus was Jewish. I know I know I'm an anti-Semite for even bring this up blah blah blah. killing Palestinians is a good thing. It's god's will blah blah blah. I wouldn't know. But it seems to me that you're not particularly well informed about this subject, which is likely to remain the case should you continue to put stock in websites such as Henry Makow's.

It would be a far better use of your time and resources to read conspiracy websites less, and decent historical/academic works more.

Jesus....so much and so little all at the same time. Just a tool to be used by those who control others. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/warning/

I will never except the bible as nothing more then fairy tale that powerless people tell themselves in order to make themselves seem worthy of life.

With out out side corroborations the bible is just for controlling the simple people who need something to believe that they were born for a reason. most of us are just in the way or marks for those who are here for a reason. But this is only the opinion of those who control the sheeple. Or is this not the reason that most of us are born?  To be used as herbie does. And herbie is just a tiny player in the powers that be yet here we are kicking at his truth. you don't have to be smart to believe the lies but it helps.

Sure you are the end all and be all of the truth ian but you're not really and never will be.
I for one will always believe that the more I know the more I understand that I don't know the game is rigged the board is tilted and you are just a players that has too much time on your hand for this simple chat room. You should go out and be all the you can be and make the bible to your own liking. Included the book that you think were left out and translate the bible in the way that you KNOW to be the truth.

Humans and our interactions and are so complicated that history in an of itself will never a true representation of what truly happened..or didn't happen.  History is what you can make people believe it is. It shouldn't be this way but this is how simple people are.  And by tossing in some fairy tales and framing in a black blanket with gold lettering does not make is fact.

And marriage is what I and mine want it to be and to hell with your church your gods and your egotistical opinions.

Good morning, Guest.

Given that you've decided it would be pointless for you to be committing any time to properly investigating Christianity's truth-claims, I really can't help you. 'Free-thinkers' invariably get offended when challenged about their misconceptions, misunderstandings and errors, especially when it comes to such foundational issues as how to make sense of reality. Then they get 'narky'. But I've always found it a little odd that people who are so certain of their beliefs, so quickly baulk when faced with the prospect of having said beliefs challenged by others.

So why did you ask questions about Jesus when you clearly weren't prepared to receive the obvious answers? Troubled much? Anyhoo ... as your mind is obviously closed tighter than a frog's bum, I'll happily leave you to your ignorance (which clearly includes foundational English grammar in addition to the basics of the Christian religion and history).

Your so uptight  Ian that no one could get a pin up your hole using a jack hammer.

'Free-thinker',

Your so uptight  Ian that no one could get a pin up your hole using a jack hammer. Actually, if I was any more relaxed I'd be asleep.

Enclosed below, is a favourite piece of verse, provided for your consideration.

      A little learning is a dangerous thing;
      drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
      there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
      and drinking largely sobers us again.

Ian, I really don't think it is helpful or Christian to be rude and insulting to someone because you believe their grammar is not up to scratch.

Since you are so up on every single post being backed-up with Scripture, where is your particular scriptural defense of being nasty to people who you perceive to be lacking in written grammar?

Did Jesus or Paul or any of the other true and great Apostles - whose status you falsely ascribe to yourself - go around berating people for their language skills?

I've noticed this is another technique you use very frequently to attempt to humiliate those whom you dislike.

Is this really the kind of forum you should be on?

Personally, I think you do more harm than good.

AN&S,

Ian, I really don't think it is helpful or Christian to be rude and insulting to someone because you believe their grammar is not up to scratch. This from a person who started a thread over what she (incorrectly) perceived to be an incorrect use of an apostrophe?! Hypocrite. Since you are so up on every single post being backed-up with Scripture, where is your particular scriptural defense of being nasty to people who you perceive to be lacking in written grammar? The only comments that need to be shored up with Scriptural references, m'dear, are those that claim to being biblicaly-based. Numpty.

Did Jesus or Paul or any of the other true and great Apostles - whose status you falsely ascribe to yourself - go around berating people for their language skills? And when did I claim to being either Jesus, or one of his apostles? I've noticed this is another technique you use very frequently to attempt to humiliate those whom you dislike. Really? I thought it appropriate given the context and tenor of the discussion. Is this really the kind of forum you should be on? 'Yes'. Apparently it is. But is this really the kind of forum that you should be contributing to? Personally, I think you do more harm than good. I'm certain you do, but you've demonstrated time and again that you clearly don't know very much about such matters, so ...?

Fixated with me, or what?

Goose.

Ian

Ian - third and last comment to your abusive replies.

I am not 'fixated' with you, although I doubt your super ego would allow you to realise this.

What I am 'fixated' with is the heartlessness you show on here to so many people.

What I am 'fixated' with is the cruelty you present in your responses.

What I am 'fixated' with is standing up to a bully.

What I am 'fixated' with is not allowing you to hurt, mock and disparage others in your responses.

What I am 'fixated' with is the fact that you are so disparaging and derisory to people who post on here who, just simply by reading their words and the tone of the post, are in need to healing and help. Yet you mock, humilate them for not being 'Christian', for not knowing 'Scripture', for their grammar mistakes. It really is desperately sad.

What I am 'fixated' with is the idea of how lovely it would be to have a truely 'supportive' environment on this forum - as it says it's meant to be.

'Fixation', Ian, is no bad thing, but it's definitely not of you. Understanding yet?

AN&S,

'Yep', fixated with me alright!

Goose.
