Quoting: emerald_glowI read the Case for Christ and have been following it up with a good bit of archeological and historical study... I definitely believe he existed. I think that the manuscripts written about him are more reliable than any other text from that time. But there are plenty of people who have twisted what he said for their own purpose. That is a shame. I hope I never did and/or never do it again. Jesus himself, said and did awesome things. It seems very contrary to hate him for it if it actually happened.

(OP) User ID: 1181030 United States 02/03/2011 08:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i think people hate the idea that they are encouraged to place their personal accountability in another's hands. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 911383then to top it off, the "other's" mere existence is a matter of faith laced with guilt and fear. just to add: jesus would probably have a problem with the way his agents have portrayed him and the teaching of the way. that's why some go as far to say that if he did show up he would be labeled anti-christ by the church. This part makes sense. You shall know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall set you free. ********************************* rikerglp (at) gmail.com ********************************* |

(OP) User ID: 1181030 United States 02/03/2011 08:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I love me some Jesus. Think about it, if the guy lived today, he would be a rare one wouldn't he? You just don't see a lot of ethics, compassion, unconditional love in one human being walking around on this planet on a daily basis anymore do you? I say bring that back, make it "cool" to be a good person-- loving, caring, sharing. We need some Jesus', some Ghandis, some Mother Teresas. Right now. x10,000. With the amount of plain ol' hate that is alive in the world we'd need that to even begin to eradicate hate and wars and evil. Quoting: True GRiTThis is what I think about it. This Jesus was cooler, kinder, and more badass than any other person in history!

He is the Antichrist who has no belief in the Father or the Son. 23 He who has no belief in the Son has not the Father: he who makes clear his belief in the Son has the Father. 24 But as for you, keep in your hearts the things which were made clear to you from the first. If you keep these things in your hearts you will be kept in the Father and the Son.

(OP) User ID: 1181030 United States 02/03/2011 08:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Serious question. I find it curious. Quoting: RikerIts not about hate, its about being spiritually hijacked, and indoctrinated by the state with its many false religions and doctrines!! It's about being punished for the actions of others (your Adam and Eve), for which a true loving divine entity would have no part of!! It's about being tricked into worshiping false gods, which the OT god certainly is!! Many have different valid reasons, all of which is nothing about hate!! ___________ If it expects or demands worship, it is not divine!! Jesus was a rebel, who threw off the demands of the state and religious authorities and was killed for it. If corrupt people wanted to bury him literally and figuratively, how would that make him responsible for their actions? Is it punishment for Adam and Eve's sin or our own? Is it punishment or is it a natural consequence of breaking the Laws of Creation? If there are false gods, who is the True God, and how do you know?

(OP) User ID: 1181030 United States 02/03/2011 08:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't think anyone hates Jesus. What people hate is the personally adulterated version of Jesus being shoved down their throats by people who think they are the voice of God. These 'voice of God' people suffer from low self-esteem and are desperate to convince themselves they have made the right decision by getting others to validate their belief. The image, story, existence/non-existence of Jesus is in the world, everyone knows this, if they want to research it further, no one is every more than a few miles away from a Bible and they can come to their own conclusions without having to accept someone else's conclusions. Live your Christianity any way you see fit, but leave everyone else alone to make their own discoveries. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1254889I can respect that. But there is definitely Jesus hate out there too.
