Quote:Sorry for it, but I have to say it... someone who acted like Jesus these days would go straight to an asylum... from my view he was a somewhat crazy man who had some views which are nearly impossible to follow but would be good if people did (love your enemy, turn the other cheek, etc...). And of course from the position of the authorities he was a dangerous rabble-rouser (which he certainly was) who threated the peace and so he had to be gotten rid of...
You sound like you would have been the first volunteer to execute Jesus, He was killed because he exposed the jewish leaders lies and hypocracies so they had their roman masters execute him to silence him before the people would see the truth.
His death was a ransom for mankind to free themselves from the devils control through sin. He died to prove a man could serve god without sining even under threat of being killed and prove Satan a liar.
All the books of the bible are valid , What is invalid are non biblical based beliefs that churches have kept for centuries, The Imortal soul and the trinity and so fourth are all Pagan things that have nothing to do with the bible
The few people who have truly followed jesus teachings have brought great things , Mahatma Ghandi studied all of his teaching and incorporated it into his pasifist nonviolent resistance doctrine which later would liberate india from british rule.
I think all men should ispire to follow Jesus and Ghandi.
I dont hate muslims , I just think Islam has some dark elements, Like killing unbelievers and crap.I wouldnt go out and attack muslims or anything their free to practice their beliefs.
The Cruisades was not the will of God, Jesus condemned violence and said we must hate violence. The Cruisades were imperialistic endeavers to conquere the middle east.
Saladin was a honorible man , I admired him since he was merciful and kind even to his enemies which is sort of what Jesus taught, Even though he did fight a war it was in self defense.Even though he was a muslim I think he was really more a true Christian like unlike the cruisaders.
