Shabbos goys do a much better job for that.
Jesus was about compassion, forgiveness and a sharp sword. when it comes religion, Judge or be Judged.
Everyone know that Some ■■■■ and Romans killed Jesus. There has also been a passing of 2000 years. Those who erred are already reaping the bitter fruit of their actions.
I have no intention of getting involved in a theological discourse because any ancient passage can be twisted for the sake of misinterpretation.
But Jesus was very clear on the Pharisee which we know today as Judaism.
For your convenience, I will repeat it again for you.
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Matthew 23:33
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
John 8:44-45
You be the judge.
You can’t see the big picture.
Strict Law + Compassion.
Middle Way.
That is not it and you know it! In your mind it only exists! To non believers it’s an act of cowardice where words mean nothing and taken out of context.
Anybody can post scriptures then run away so they can feel superior without giving a logical reason for doing so. In Essence that is what you did here, hence the fact your conversations here always lack substance and has more to do with feeding your narcissism!
From another thread.
Jesus never preached the lukewarm middle way.
He was very clear on what’s good and what’s evil.
You probably are better off by sticking to the Lotus Sutra which can be interpreted myriad ways.
So the question remains! Are you yourself a Christian or not?
So the question remains! Are you yourself a white or not?
LOL
Cant answer a simple question huh? Weak sauce on your part! Thanks for playing!
oh well. Not only do you not see the big picture, you don’t see the little picture either.
In Matthew 7:13–14, Jesus said, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
Back to the vaults for you.
Proof positive that some get it and some don’t.
the Pharisee which we know today as Judaism.
Mouse in your pocket or perhaps a conspiracy web site you can quote???
Mouse in your pocket
That is a good one!
The Pharisees (/ˈfærəˌsiːz/) were a social movement and a school of thought in the Levant during the time of Second Temple Judaism. After the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, Pharisaic beliefs became the foundational, liturgical and ritualistic basis for Rabbinic Judaism.
---- At first the values of the Pharisees developed through their sectarian debates with the Sadducees; then they developed through internal, non-sectarian debates over the law as an adaptation to life without the Temple, and life in exile, and eventually, to a more limited degree, life in conflict with Christianity.[35] These shifts mark the transformation of Pharisaic to Rabbinic Judaism.

PS
This quote is better. From the same page:
The sages of the Talmud see a direct link between themselves and the Pharisees, and historians generally consider Pharisaic Judaism to be the progenitor of Rabbinic Judaism, that is normative, mainstream Judaism after the destruction of the Second Temple. All mainstream forms of Judaism today consider themselves heirs of Rabbinic Judaism and, ultimately, the Pharisees.

again, assuming that no-ones history is their own and that they do not know what a Pharisee is! Quoting wikipedia and not using your own words does very little in adding any credibility to your posts either, it only exposes your compulsion to copy and paste. To non believers its just another reason or excuse to hate and castigate ■■■■ in one sweeping lot, and to believers is it is very clear what the difference is. That is why I asked you if you are Christian and practice by faith, because to non believers they won’t understand what the bible says only to misquote it in order to suit their own confirmation bias. If you can’t clarify that aspect of it, then I am correct in my original response to you when you first posted biblical scripture here, and your obvious avoidance to answer a direct question is telling. If you do claim to be a believer then you are incorrect in your assumptions when it comes to propagating your fervent bias and hate for ■■■■ in general as being the cause of everything you seem to think you stand for or are against.
- I have not seen one correct description of Christianity yet
- Christianity is not the topic
In Matthew 7:13–14, Jesus said, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
I believe at that time, some roads were broader for those who had camels and laden them with material goods.
I believe the message is material needs and coveting wealth can lead to destruction.
I don’t believe Jesus had anything against wealth or material goods as long as it did not lead corruption and straying from God’s word.
Either get on topic or get lost.
You asked. I responded.
Unfortunately, the truth contained in my response was not to your liking.
