Post by: WhatWhenWhy on 06 05, 11, 02:34:39:AM
He brought War, division and hate. History will prove me correct. There has not been one day since his arrival that war has not been alive and well. Many of those war were in his name or he was proclaimed to be on " OUR" side.

Allah is not Jesus.  Muslims always start wars or bring death in the name of Allah.
 
Also, Wars have been a part of history long before Jesus ever showed up. So your premise is wrong just on that basis alone. However,  if you insist on such a premise then it can be more accurately reasoned that since Jesus showed up: Agnostics, Secularists and Atheists have been in heavy conflict against any and all religions or beliefs, to the point of creating laws to either ban or heavily discourage such beliefs. The Romans slayed more Christians than Hitler did the Jews.
 
Nobody ever started a war in the name of Jesus or God. That does does not mean wars or conflicts have not erupted because others tried to force the removal of such beliefs or religion, or make laws against freedoms of religion.  In that case it would be Atheists or Secularists who start the war.
 
Sorry, but the changing history seems to have become a habit.

 Jesus was supposed to bring salvation and peace. He did NOT. He brought more reason for hate and war, then sends you to hell for killing. Stupid religions. If jesus had not been accepted as the messiah, which he never claimed, Mohammad would have never founded  Islam. You want to end war, End religions.

What drives them to make such heinous claims, GOD and the pursuit of the extension of their religion! main complint in the Middle east has been our meddling in their affairs, you know who the meddlers were? MISSIONARIRS trying to Convert them to Christianity. How many time has the Government had to go in and RESCUE Missionaries from Hostiles? Plenty.

A recent comprehensive compilation of the history of human warfare, Encyclopedia of Wars by Charles Phillips and Alan Axelrod documents 1763 wars, of which 123 have been classified to involve a religious conflict. So, what atheists have considered to be "most" really amounts to less than 7% of all wars. It is interesting to note that 66 of these wars (more than 50%) involved Islam, which did not even exist as a religion for the first 3,000 years of recorded human warfare.

If atheists are correct, the most religious industrial nation, the United States of America, should be involved in more religious wars than any other country. However, only the "War on Terror," among all 17 American wars, involves a religious component.

Hitler was a christian who hated atheists and secularism.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler's_religious_views


Statements against atheismHitler often associated atheism with Germany's communist enemy.[50] Hitler stated in a speech to the Stuttgart February 15, 1933: "Today they say that Christianity is in danger, that the Catholic faith is threatened. My reply to them is: for the time being, Christians and not international atheists are now standing at Germany’s fore. I am not merely talking about Christianity; I confess that I will never ally myself with the parties which aim to destroy Christianity. Fourteen years they have gone arm in arm with atheism. At no time was greater damage ever done to Christianity than in those years when the Christian parties ruled side by side with those who denied the very existence of God. Germany's entire cultural life was shattered and contaminated in this period. It shall be our task to burn out these manifestations of degeneracy in literature, theater, schools, and the press—that is, in our entire culture—and to eliminate the poison which has been permeating every facet of our lives for these past fourteen years."[51]

In a radio address October 14, 1933 Hitler stated "For eight months we have been waging a heroic battle against the Communist threat to our Volk, the decomposition of our culture, the subversion of our art, and the poisoning of our public morality. We have put an end to denial of God and abuse of religion. We owe Providence humble gratitude for not allowing us to lose our battle against the misery of unemployment and for the salvation of the German peasant."[52]

In a speech delivered in Berlin, October 24, 1933, Hitler stated: "We were convinced that the people needs and requires this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out."[53]

In a speech delivered at Koblenz, August 26, 1934 Hitler states: "There may have been a time when even parties founded on the ecclesiastical basis were a necessity. At that time Liberalism was opposed to the Church, while Marxism was anti-religious. But that time is past. National Socialism neither opposes the Church nor is it anti-religious, but on the contrary, it stands on the ground of a real Christianity. The Church's interests cannot fail to coincide with ours alike in our fight against the symptoms of degeneracy in the world of to-day, in our fight against the Bolshevist culture, against an atheistic movement, against criminality, and in our struggle for the consciousness of a community in our national life, for the conquest of hatred and disunion between the classes, for the conquest of civil war and unrest, of strife and discord. These are not anti-Christian, these are Christian principles."[54]

During negotiations leading to the Nazi-Vatican Concordat of April 26, 1933 Hitler argued that "Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from

Title: Re: Jesus did not come to bring salvation and peace
Post by: sweetwater5s9 on 06 05, 11, 11:00:25:AM
Hitler hated Christianity because it was founded by Jews.
 
In Hitler’s words “the heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity” (Hitler, 1953, p. 6).  The Jesuits were “swine,” and all of Christianity was “Jewish Christianity” which was comparable with “Jewish Bolshevism.”  Hitler concluded that both were evil and both had to be destroyed (Kershaw, 2000, pp. 330, 488).  His reasoning was based on his belief that Christianity was an “illegitimate” Jewish child and, as a Jewish child, was swine like its parent that must be eradicated.  Hitler considered Christianity the “invention of the Jew Saul” (Azar, 1990, p. 154).

Crusades ring any bells? The inquisitions? The conquistador wars and slaughter of native Americans? How about the phrase "for god and country" I mean come on, the claim that nobody ever went to war in god's name is total bullshit. Heck, Britain had a few civil wars specifically over religion and that led directly to many deciding to colonize America to get away from it.

That is true but the Crusades were about Islamic forced expansion and brutality than Jesus.   Jesus did not force His religion on others, Mohammed did.  That is historical fact.

Jesus was dead. The popes and many others forced christianity on people for him. If he disagrees with their doing it then he really has a bizarre way of showing or rather not showing it. Two thousand years and not a peep of protest from him. His silence is deafening.

That is the assertion...
 
 
We all know many Mohammed followers have been at war for a global caliph since Mohammed began his reign of terror.  Christians were persecuted after Jesus, Muslims persevuted others after Jesus and still do to this day.  Islam needs reform but many decient Muslims still fear those who follow strict Islamic doctrine from the 7th Century.

Colfax, do you know the difference between starting a war, as opposed to responding to a war and fighting a war that was started against you?
 
Do you know what I mean when I say: "Nobody ever started a war in the name of Jesus or God", as opposed to being Christian and responding to a war launched against you and your beliefs?  Christians do not kill people because they are not Christian. Muslims do.
 
btw: Don't miscontrue protestans and catholics fighting IN THE NAME of God. They are not. They fought because of differening beliefs between their sects.

Inquisitions,  Crusades, and Secularism.



   

Religion Deaths
Crusades
There were an estimated 17 separate Crusades.  They were Christian Crusades,  Muslim Crusades, some were merchant based, and some were against Muslim Pirates.  The Crusades caused an estimated 1 million deaths over the Hundreds of years they took place.
   
Spanish_Inquisition
During the period between 1540 and 1700 a total of 87,000 court cases (Inquisitions) took place. Of those 87,000 cases that took place in the 160 year period a total of 1080 people were executed.   This averages to about 6.5 deaths per year.

Of ALL Inquisitions in the 500 years in which Inquisitions can be said to have taken place (including the above Spanish Inquisitions), between all caused an estimated 6,000 deaths. 
   
This is about equal to the number of war related deaths that have occurred in Afghanistan and Iraq in the first two 2 years since the US responded to 9/11.
   
Total estimate Deaths:  1 Million 6 Thousand




Deaths by Non-Religion or for Socialist or Communist philsophy/Agenda:
 
Mao Zedong:   Ruled from 1949 to 1976, is credited to have caused the deaths of 40 to 70 million people.

Joseph Stalin:   from 1922 until his death in 1953, historians suggest a total of 20 million, from famine, Gulags, torture, and executions.

Vladimir Lenin:   (1917–1924) 6 to 8 million people died under Lenin from war, famine etc.

Adolf Hitler:   25 Million. 6 Million of those were Jews.

Benito Mussolini (Ethiopia, 1936; Yugoslavia, WWII):    400,000

Kim Il Sung (North Korea, 1948-1994):     Between 600,000 and one million North Koreans needlessly starved to death

Genghis Khan (1206-1227):   40 million

Idi Amin (Uganda, 1969-1979):      300,000

Mengistu (Ethiopia, 1974-1991):   100,000

Jean Kambanda (Rwanda, 1994): 800,000

Pol Pot (Cambodia, 1975-1979):    1.5 million are worked or starved to death, die of disease or exposure, or are summarily executed   

Suharto (East Timor, West Papua, Communists, 1966-98):   2 million

Hideki Tojo (Japan, 1941-1944):    8 million civilians in China, Korea, Philippines, Indochina

  Total estimate Deaths:  164 Million to 196 Million


Most of these death were by starving, beatings, knives, machetes. Not through modern weaponry.

Most Atheists had a religion in their childhood because adults made their choices for them

That is an OPINION and carries NO WEIGHT.

Proven Fact, Atheists are Smarter and better educated that God worshipers.

Atheism does not provide a greater intelligence than belief in a religion.

Hitler was an atheist, Stalin was an atheist, Lenin was an atheist, Mao was an atheist, all brilliant and influential in their own way.  They eschewed religion as they rose to power.  But their atheism wasn't the source or catalyst for their achievements.

BTW, a Crusade was lead against my ancestors in Eastern Europe.  All Crusades weren't against Islam, nor were the Crusades fought with only bloodthirsty soldiers: there were many noble and honorable men and women.

In AD 1209, the entire population of the Albigens was slaughtered at the order of Pope Innocent III. The Albigens, in the south of France, was then the most populous, the most technically, socially, and economically advanced part of Europe. Its population was largely Gnostics and Arian Christians, and were a sanctuary for Jews who were persecuted almost everywhere else in Europe. All of these groups had a high percentage of literacy and read the Bible, which was prohibited by the Vatican.

Many Gnostic groups shared with Christians a rejection of Laws of Moses and salvation by works; a belief that other beings created the material world; the shared belief of a divine mediator between God and man; and finally the belief that nothing "worldly" is of any importance. Only faith in or knowledge of this divine mediator (1 Tim 2:5), would lead one to salvation and eternal life.

Gnosticism envisaged the world as a series of emanations from the highest "One", that produced a series of emanations. The lowest emanation was an evil god (the demiurge) who created the material world as a prison for the divine sparks that dwell in human bodies. The Gnostics identified this evil creator with the God of the Old Testament, and saw the Adam/Eve and the ministry of Jesus as attempts to liberate humanity from his dominion, by imparting divine secret wisdom. Gnostics like Christians take an allegorical view of the Old Testament.

Gnosticism is not a defined religion as such, but often a theological dumping ground for "heresies" as defined by the official Christian Church. It was a process of denial and murder dating back to the time of Constantine and Nicaea in 325 AD. In my view Christianity is more Gnosticism than Judaism and an attempt to combine two related, but opposing systems of theology and thought.

Gnosticism differs from "official" Christianity in two important respects: 1) Gnostics believed the material world was created as evil and corrupted, and 2) Jesus was a spirit, not actual flash. Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit in both Gnosticism and Christianity, but in Gnosticism the Holy Spirit was the "feminine" or female aspect of God. Thus the Holy Spirit was the true "mother" of Jesus.

What can you PROVE "GOD" did for the earth since Jesus came and went?

If not for Constantine becoming a Christian and ordering your edited Bible formed, you would probably be a Jew. That has as much validity as the OPINIONS you are throwing around about the EVIL of an entire Group of people that are probably more on the ball than a sock puppet that believes anything written by man and fed to him. More and More are seeing the Real light and your Christianity is a dying religion like all the false religions before it.

If Jesus was the messiah, God is a Failure for thinking that he could send someone to convince 12 people he was a Good Guy, and that the world should bow down and worship him. Looks to me that he is on his way out the door as a Believable entity. He was sent to save the world and then GOD sent those people that D2 calls EVIL. I see no GOD happenings that can be Proven in the last 2000 years, has he deflected any Meteors, kept the Sun steady and the right Temperature. God works in Mysterious ways and the Devil is the Great deceiver, Beings incomprehensible to the Human mind and these idiots are trying to tell everyone they KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT IT Who is WHO in their dreams . OMG no wonder they kill instead of Question.

Every cell in your Body came from a Super Nova. You want GOD, There is your Creator, go worship the sun that gave you what you are. A Thick headed fantasy believer.

1 The Kind and merciful GOD, that will condemn you to hell FOREVER for an offense in the Very very very short life span you spend on this rock in the middle of NOWHERE. The one that takes 40 days to chisel 10 commandments in to tablets??

2 DEVIL GOD , that will gleefully accept you for that slip up, his army will be the Biggest in the END. Thank YOUR God for that.

3 Spiteful and Vengeful God, of the old testament that will strike you down with a bolt of lightning for fun.

Give me something to believe in YOUR VERSION of God. Last I checked he gave out some orders, took him a long time to chisel 10 commandment in rock, in an extinct dialect that anyone can interpret any way they want, then coped out. What is 2000 years in GOD terms JIM? He could have waited and put it in clear language on the INTERNET, for Christ sakes.


You guys give out this free will stuff like you Know the mind of God. you don't. I suspect you can't even comprehend a GOD and that is Why you cling to YOURS. Something personified.  You can't even deal with the the what kind of WILL the ANGELS have and what they are, mean and do.  You are BORN an ATHEIST till Baptized, often before you can give you permission. So don't pipe in superfluous FREE WILL.  That is as Big a cop out as Confession.


 There is ABSOLUTELY no way to live your life as a HUMAN and not Violate one of your commandment and be DAMNED FOREVER.

Kinda strict and harsh for a God , don't you think.


GOD KNOW ALL THAT IS AND WILL BE, Whether you have FREE will or not, he created them[Athiests] to do a JOB and you sit in JUDGEMENT OF HIS ACTS with a grasp at FREE WILL. Oh PLEASE.

 We are sitting on a Rock in the middle of Nowhere dealing with 11 Dimensions, possible 3 Dimensional Time and you are going to tell me you understand GOD. Man does not comprehend How an electron moves interdimensionaly yet. I believe GOD is a bit tougher to understand than you can comprehend, much less judge actions or intent?

Witches were burned at the stake, Heretics slaughtered, ask a Templar, civilizations Books burned all by Christians of the highest order. You make up your rules to fit your needs, go to confession, et al, to clean your guilty mind then go do it again because you think you can say your sorry at the last moment. Hypocrisy that you never admit. So it appears that through you , he has only brought Slavery, Hate and War against all that you call EVIL with FREE WILL and YOUR God approves.

True Roman crucifixion was nailing (sometimes rope binding) through the wrists and upper instep, not the palms.  The person was unable to slouch or stand on a small platform.  It was agonizing.

And, I agree that the common depiction of nailing through the palms is incorrect.

You tried before Luke and were shown to be grossly lacking in Knowledge on the Subject. Come back when you can think without a BOOK.
