Only a double-barrel shotgun (Or Saiga 12) can repel this invasion. I cannot do it alone with a single-barrel pump. Wussy-lala Aussies. Although I do know you have your own issues to deal with, like the fact that the entire continent tries to kill you. So I guess I understand.
Israel cannot be unburied, because the Muslims decided to build a fucking dome right over the spot of King Solomon's temple and claim it as their OWN holy site.
This didn't actually happen. The entire macabre scenario was entirely on the shoulders of Pontius Pilatus, who wished to terrorize the Jews as they arrived from all over the world to celebrate that years Passover. It would have been peak traffic in and out of the main gates, offering him an opportunity to display crucifixions in sight of one of the main gates. It was to let Jews know who was the boss in the region. It was literally terrorism, and he did seek out Jesus specifically to be among the victims to emphasize the perception of his power over the region. The reason for the fraudulent embellishment of the story was to involve the Jewish high priesthood in a human sacrifice, so to make Jesus a Passover lamb, unbeknownst to the high priests themselves. In this, and so many ways, those Jews who wanted to make Jesus their Messiah tried to make Jesus a fulfillment of Jewish prophecy. The presumption is you can't have a legitimate sacrifice, animal, human, or god, without involvement of the priests, as if there were such a thing as a legitimate sacrifice, or class of legitimate sacrificing priests. "The historicity of the gospel narratives has been questioned by scholars, who suggest that the evangelists' accounts reflect the later antagonism that arose between the Church and the Synagogue. They show a tendency to minimize the actions of Pilate and emphasize the responsibilities of the Jews. " ~ Wikipedia Instead of acknowledging Ocam's Razor, the embellishers had Jesus paraded in front of all the Jewish elders and high priests, in the middle of the night, when they would normally be concentrating on getting ready for the Sabbath/Passover. Not once, but again in the morning! They could not get their story straight whether these meeting were at Caiaphas' house or Annas' house, or both, but then paraded off to Pilatus in the morning (as if he is seeing Jewish priest on demand), who parades him off to King Herod (because he is Galilean), who parades him back to Pilatus, all three parties of whom humiliate Jesus, beat him, mock him...until finally we are supposed to believe that instead of preparing for the special Sabbath and the special high holy day Passover, the priests gather as social justice warriors at Pilates court after Herod sends Jesus back, meeting there to make sure he is crucified that very day, as if we are supposed to believe that Pilatus was beholden to their wishes for such an unusual request, at an unusual time. No, it's much simpler than that. Much more obvious. And Jesus own motive for giving himself up to custody was much simpler: He wished to demonstrate to his followers that they had nothing to be afraid of, if they followed his instructions. To be exact, he intended to feel no pain through the ordeal, organically, through his knowledge, which explains why he refused alcohol. To corroborate this, no Christian can actually say, just from the text itself, whether or not Jesus felt any pain, because nothing in the text, in the description of his behavior, suggests he was feeling any. The assumption that Jesus felt pain, and the promotion of this demonstration of miraculous power as if it was a pain-fest (the more the better) that would satisfy the masochistic tendencies of god, is, actually, in concert with Pilatus' own motivations around the event: To terrorize the populace into submission. Anyone who is promoting the pain story is doing the exact same thing. Pain is actually a sin, and so is death. Both mock any god that is actually Good. Jesus would not do this.
Uh huh, sure. And you were there to witness the non-pain? You really think this did NOT happen?... Here's 5 minutes of no pain. It is in the Bible. It is said he was scourged before being put on the cross. Do you know what that word means?
studentofthedevil liked this post so there must be something very wrong with it. I will prove i am right by quoting Solomon 1:13... "A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts."
Well it appears to be age restricted, but even if it was available, i would not watch it. It's really insulting to any god that is actually Good and denies Jesus had any miraculous abilities on account of his knowledge of Christ. Yes, pain is a sin. Why is that difficult to believe? Why does anything Mel Gibson (a special kind of Catholic) thinks about the crucifixion matter? He wasn't there either.
His pain was our gain. The Creator and Ruler over all was scourged. He bled and He was crucified, as our representative, bearing the punishment of our sin in His own body. Then He was raised up alive the 3rd day and promises eternal life to those who repent and put their faith in Him. It's the best news and the best message ever, for those who will be saved from the coming judgment.
