1. But if not for the death of Jesus................. |
|
there wouldn't be a worldwide religion based on his life today. If he had been allowed to live, the story would have had a completely different ending and Christianity, as we know it today, wouldn't exist.
So start the killings at once. You never know who the NEXT Jesus will be.

I think that's written off to the idea that he came here, in part, to do that.
That was recently "explained" to me, as well as why the Death Penalty is OK with (some) Christians.
At least they didn't stone the guy, or burn Him.

3. presumably "he died for our sins" means no one else should die? |
|
yes, of course, religions offer an answer (sometimes multiple, contradicting, answers) for everything, but still....

4. If Jesus were hear today, the Bush admin would have him killed |

5. Isn't it odd..that millions of human beings who proclam to follow Christ.. |

and His spiritual teachings would support the death penalty.
Isn't it odd that in this nation, where the majority are Christian adherents and who claim to pray to and adore a being who was a prisoner of the Roman Power and an inmate on that empire's death row ... worshippers of the crucified God that strenuously support the State's execution of its imprisoned citizens....
this is INSANE and they are NOT of God...NOT NOT NOT!
