Is it any surprise that Christians are manufacturing the death machines for the U.S. military?

Apparently, profiting from war doesn't bother these people of "peace" and "love". But then, has history given us a reason to think it ever did?

"Death machines"?

You really need to get a life.

How Impressive is Jesus' Genealogy?

Have you ever read about Jesus' genealogy? I would like to know what you have to say of such an impressive family tree. You could be surprised to ponder about it.

Yes sir, I have read about Jesus' genealogy and pondered about it, but I missed getting impressed because I looked behind the curtain.

Let me tell you about it. There are two reports about Jesus' genealogy in the NT. One is by Matthew and the other by Luke. There are differences in the names but the goal is the same: To trace Jesus' genealogy through Joseph as it has been always the custom in Judaism.

Matthew differs from Luke not only in tracing
Jesus' genealogy but also in his birth as a king, born in a house, God knows how gorgeous, visited by king-like men with golden gifts, and led by a star. Luke's baby Jesus, however, gets to be born in a manger, and is visited by poor, empty-handed shepherds. Thus, throughout each other's gospels, they do seem sometimes to be reporting about two different Jesuses.

The bottom line is that both, Matthew and Luke are tracing Jesus through Joseph. If Luke, as some churches defend, is tracing Jesus' genealogy through Mary, the book will be discredit for the huge number of contradictions.

First of all, the expression "as was supposed," between quotation marks in Luke 3:23 in the King James version, is an added interpolation by the translator to deny Jesus' filiation to Joseph. Without that interpolation the verse is read with Jesus being son of Joseph, which naturally, Jesus is placed into the lineage of David from the Tribe of Judah.

Those who wish to alienate Joseph from any genealogical relation with Jesus will do much better studying Luke a little further. He lets no one hang about Mary's own family three: That she was rather from the Tribe of Levi and not of Judah. In Luke 1:5 we have that Zechariah's wife, Elisabeth was of the daughters of Aaron the Levite. Also, in Luke 1:36 we have that Elisabeth was a cousin of Mary's. Therefore, Mary was from the Tribe of Levi. There is nothing better than that to relate her to the Tribe of Judah in the whole of the NT.

Now, Christianity is at a strait, isn't it? If Jesus was not son of Joseph, he could not be from the Tribe of Judah. If he was not from the Tribe of Judah, he could not be the Messiah. On the other hand, if Jesus was son of Joseph, it's granted that he was from the Tribe of Judah, but he could not be God's son according to Paul's Hellenistic gospel.

Yes, that's indeed a Christian dilemma. Jesus cannot be both, Messiah and son of God, and the NT offers no solution. If you have any, it must be from outside reference. Remember though, one thing is to declare things without facts; the other quite different one is to document it.

Did you know that tomorrow we are to remember by worship and/or prayer, The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus?

It is a very special opportunity to surrender yourself to the truth, the life, and the way. All you have to do to get started is say Jesus I love you, I thank you, and I'm sorry for my sins. Will you please give it a try? Peace to you.

Yes, it's a very special Day for me and the Prayer Group to which I belong.'The People of the Heart of Jesus'
We venerate the Sacred Heart of Jesus which is the symbol of Jesus' eternal love for his Father, and the source of the love and life he shares with all his brothers and sisters.
Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony and his Passion,and gave himself up for each one of us."The Son of God.....loved me and gave himself for me." (Gal 2:20). He loved us all with a human heart. For this reason, the Sacred Heart of Jesus,pierced for our sins and for our salvation,is quite rightly considered the chief sign and symbol of that love with which the divine Redeemer continually loves the Eternal Father and all human beings without exception." ( Catechism of the Catholic Church,478).

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus I place all my trust in you. Amen

Atheists do you believe that Jesus existed?

I know you probably don't believe he did the miracles or anything but do you believe that a man named Jesus existed at the time the bible claims?

There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one!!! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!!

There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!!

He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?

Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!!

Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!!

At best he was an amalgam of those others!!

Check out the evidence from the fictrion in the bible!!!

Does this bible verse show that homosexuality is okay with Jesus?

Mark 7:14: Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' BY GOING INTO HIM. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.'

No. This is talking about what a man eats.

do you realize that when you accept Jesus and are born again that you are NO LONGER a sinner ?

a sinner is a sinner by nature so when a person receives Jesus his nature is changed and so BY NATURE (GODS NATURE) HE OR SHE IS NO LONGER A SINNER. They may sin but that does not make them a sinner... you are instantly madel the righteousness of God. you might bark but that does not make you a dog. so in the same way when you have received Jesus you are freed from the sin nature and though you do fall and sin you are still Gods child and He loves you and will correct you but you have not lost your salvation. you can NOT be a "saved sinner " you are either a sinner or you are saved! period. study your bible.

Your assuming that old dusty book is true.

In this exciting informative lecture, Pastor Ray Hagins does what very few Pastors would dare to do. He methodically takes you step by step through the circumstances that led to the need for this meeting to take place and explains how the concept of Jesus the Christ was created in 325 AD The First Council of Nicaea, held in Nicaea in Bithynia (In present -- day Turkey), convened by the Roman Emperor Constantine I in 325, was the first ecumenical (1) conference of bishops of the Christian Church, and most significantly resulted in the first uniform Christian doctrine, called the Nicene Creed. With the creation of the creed, a precedent was established for subsequent "general (ecumenical) councils of Bishop's (Synods) to create statements of belief and canons of doctrinal orthodoxy -- the intent being to define unity of beliefs for the whole of Christendom. This is the council that created the concept of Jesus the Christ and it was patterned after Heru (Horus) from the Ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) mythology. Ausar (Osiris), Auset (Isis) and Heru (Horus) were the first holy trinity and Joseph, Mary and Joseph was patterned after this. The history behind the creation of Jesus the Christ has been hidden from most Christians on purpose because it was created by the Roman Catholic Church. They have never wanted the truth to get out.

Why did Jesus ditch Moses and Elijah and found a new non-profit religion?

Based on the Jesus Christ (Hindu visualization allegory) transfiguration story, Jesus Christ replaces both Moses and Elijah on the totem pole of Gods.

First of all, Jesus did not ditch Moses. He rather declared that he came to confirm Moses to the letter. That's in Matthew 5:17-19.

Jesus did not found and kind of religion. Even the Jewish Sect of the Nazarenes was
founded by his Apostles after his name.

Christianity was founded by Paul about 30 years after Jesus' death. Jesus never had anything to do with Christianity and still doesn't.

Last known deceased or alive descendant of Jesus Christ?

Who is the Last known deceased or remaining descendant of Jesus Christ?
This subject has interested me since I have watched the DaVinci Code.
If anyone has any links, or experiences & stories they would like to share, please, do.
But I would also like my question to be answered the best way possible

The DaVinci Code is fiction. It was based on another book "Holy Blood Holy Grail" which has been debunked by many scholars. Actually one of the authors of Holy Blood Holy Grail stated if anyone says he believes that Jesus Christ married and had children they are liars. He said the book was a hypothesis.

Authors like Dan Brown take some historical facts and intermingle them with their own ideas and imagination. For instance he stated the Jesuits were involved in suppressing the Knights Templar. The Jesuit Order wasn't founded until
the 1500s. The Knights Templar were disbanded in the early 1300s.

Also there is nothing whatsoever in the Dead Sea Scrolls that mention Jesus, Christianity, Mary Magdalene.

The lists goes on and goes.

So called historical novels always are fiction. However, good historical novels try to stay true to established facts.
Dan Brown didn't even bother to do that.
