While I find the man himself an interesting character be he for real or just made up stories for the masses. The message left from the stories about him are indeed good ones, love thy neighbor, be of good character, be humble, Etc!
While the deeds done in his name have not followed any of his teachings, The inquisition, the crusades, the discrimination of the Jews; the huge split among the Christians themselves into many, many fractions, all of them believing theirs is the only way to G-ds door! what Bullshit!
I have seen so many articles on Jesus, none of them can even agree with themselves, each Christian having their own view on how Jesus wants them to be! If Jesus exists he is pulling his hair out in shame at how Christians behave.
The seventh Day adventist declares the southern baptists is a heretic, the Catholic says the Apostolic is nuts and on and on!
Please stoPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one knows for sure if Jesus is the son of G-d for SURE! Stop saying he is!
Hey, I think pretty much only the LDS are heretics. That oughta get me a cookie. I'm more or less nondenominational (multidenominational, to be more correct).
And there we go!
As a Jew I think all Christians are heretics. Hows that for narrow minded?
lol...I come from a largely LDS area at the moment, and I have to tell you something: While I don't necessarily agree with all their theology, most of the Mormon families I've met are very cohesive and love and take care of their children, AND their neighbors, like no other people I've known. I don't know many other churches who actually actively encourage their congregants to go out into the community and preach the gospel.
What it comes down to is we can learn alot from each other. I don't think God would want us to say "Oh, I'm Evangelical Free, and I think those Baptists are morons because they're different from me." I think He'd much rather we looked at supporting one another as Christian brothers and sisters rather than nitpicking our differences.
Okay. Sorry. I'm done now.
I was an Adventist and I have a very good friend who is. We agree on alot of things including who Jesus is.
I agree with many other denominations when it comes to the person of Christ. I may not believe in some of their side issues, but the essentials are what is most important anyhow.
Wonderful comment!!!! My sentiments exactly Marcie
With the times spent trashing one another ALL the religions could be spending time in brother and sisterhood In G-D instead of all the Bullshit!
That is a matter of faith just like belief in God or as I like to call him (see I still think of God as a him) father/mother/God - how is that for heretical?
Roylevosh - that was hilarious.
To answer your question: yes, I am sick and tired of these articles. I'm also over the techno-geek and liberal bashing articles but everyone has a right to write what they want here. It is a personal blog site, after all.
Having said this, I agree with your take on the confusion of Christianity. Can you imagine what might happen if they all decided to agree with each other and form a single church. The rest of us wouldn't stand a chance (For the dense - I am trying to be funny).
at Roy
I agree MM... It would be great if Drag could install a Jesus filter
Not bad. You only target one sect!
Actually, if you call yourself Christian, and don't have any additions to the Bible since the early Church (third-hand accounts, around 200 AD, give or take), I don't consider you heretical. It's not a solid law, but it's more or less how I interpret it.
And I don't try to kill the heretics. I try to convert them.
Which means there are many OTHER YOU don't agree with with, my point exactly.
Bwahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!! how wonderful Joe.
To worship a man as G-D {from a Jews pov.
I know YOU could.
You just don't get it do you? ever time you post something like this, all you do is prove my point.
Just stop reading them if your not interested in them?
I'm not a man of religion, but anyone can post what they want, as much as they want (well within reason). So sorry mate, you just gotta deal with it.
Why?
Isn't it those articles in the religion section or (if in other categories but are about Christ or religion) that get the highest number of comments?
What does that tell us? The answer to my own question Why? The reason why discussion about CHrist won't stop is because everybody, whether for or against, is interested in Christ. It's just the way that it is.
When you think about it...no one today actively hates anyone else from 2000 years ago..even those horrific tyrants as Nero...but the gentle and meek Christ is still hated.
That alone says something of the Man-God and the power of His teachings...Jesus Christ is the dividing line and will be until the end of the world.
...and here's a little something about that.
“It’s Not Easy Being Everyone’s
Raison D’Etre”
You just can’t understand
the pressure
the expectation
everyone claiming you
wanting a piece of you
the Jews claim me
as one of theirs own
but you know how
that all ended up
and the Christians
think they’re all doing things
in my name
the Muslims call me
a prophet
but still subordinate me
the Buddhists draw parallels
and come closer than most
and the atheists love me
because they find their strongest arguments
in my weakest followers
I’m tired of being everyone’s
raison d’etre
it’s lonely
being the leader of it all
does anyone just say
“here’s a beautiful rose
I grew for you”
“listen to this song
your story inspired”
“do you need someone
to talk to, Jesus?”
I’m tired of everyone asking me for stuff
using me
can’t someone just get over themselves
and their crippling insecurity
long enough
to just sit by my side
and keep me company
just like any other friend
would do.
Am I tired of Jesus articles?
Not really.
Since I believe Jesus is God, I don't have a problem with people who are so in love with Him they are compelled to write about Him.
Am I tired of the disagreements?
Yeah, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't learn a lot from those too.
Ya know who I miss on the religion articles? Bakerstreet. He really had a way of winnowing things down to common sense and cutting straight to the heart of a matter.
You don't believe Jesus is God. You don't believe Jesus is the son of God. You are tired of the Jesus articles.
Got it.
I love ya anyway.
