Christ was a warrior....

Jesus Christ wern't no pussy, boys and girls

Christianity ain't pacifisim and it dern't forbid the use of force in personal or national defense. Jesus commanded his disciples to be armed for self-defense, but not for the purpose of establishing or propagating the Gospel (unlike them Muslims). In Romans 13, Paul learned us that God has put the sword in the hands of civil authority for the purpose of upholding the law by punishing evildoers. (2 Cor 10:4).

So, thar you go.  You can arm yerselves fer the cause of Good.  Thar Bible says so.  Jesus said so.  Thar American 2nd Amendment says so.  And, Ricardovitz says so.

    Garn, yer pulling our legs. Jesus Christ never existed on planet Earth. So nobody did or said anything. Soon you will be saying that Johnny the Rodent never fondled the scrotums of Jewish billionaires.

    Jesus was no doubt a short, stocky, swarthy Middle Easterner, how does that fit into Ricardo's world view? As for the Bible, isn't it just bits and pieces of re-re-re-translated stuff compiled over time, with stuff left out and stuff tweaked? And in fact the "historic" jesus is considered to be an amalgam of different prophets rolled into one handy character for the illiterate among us?

    But, I dern't think God woulda made him all swarthy and sand-ape ugly. Nope - Christianity is a Northern European Religion. God knew he needed to git them witch-craft'n heathens on thar right path. So, I reckon that he made Jesus look more like the folks he was tryin to save from worshipin Devil-magic.

    Jesus never existed. He is a fictional character created by the founders of the so-called christian church who co-opted the dates, places and stories of other, far older religious cults.

    Oftentimes people opt to be atheist. That's a lame excuse for not believing in anything.

    I repeat, "Jesus Christ" was NOT an actual living person. "He" was a character/theme stolen by church founders from the stories and myths of older, prior cults and cultists.

    The followers of Krishna shouted “Jeye” or “Ieue” during celebrations.dccxlii This “ieue,” as we have seen, is the same as both YHWH and “Jesus,” as admitted by Clement of Alexandria (153-214), who noted that “the Savior”
    had been represented by the letters “IE,” the same designation found applied to Apollo on his temple at Delphi. The “Savior,” of course, was not a carnalized, historical person but a spiritual construct that, as noted, was known to many mystery schools and sects, which could thus be termed “salvation cultists.”

    Prior to the Fourth Century, there was frequent and general mention of “Christos,” and his worship to the east of Rome. But nowhere can be found any authentic mention at that time of a Jesus Christ. It was not until after the Nicean Council that the name Jesus Christ was ever known to the world.

    Poppycock Grinch. They wrote a big book about JC (ie The Bible), nothing about these clowns 'Jeye" or "Ieue" (what a stupid name). And as for Clement of Alexandria he was the idiot that burnt the Alexandria library down! How could you trust a fool like that?

    So, in a word, get your facts straight Grinchy or you'll be burning in Satan's flames like the rest of the godless fools.

    There ARE no facts in the so-called "Bible". No "apostle" wrote a single word that appears therein. Christianity’s history is rife with forgery and fraud. none of the gospels was written by its purported author and, indeed, no mention of any New Testament text can be found in writings prior to the beginning of the second century of the Common Era (“CE”), long after the purported events. These “holy” books, then, so revered by devotees, turn out to be spurious, and since it is in them that we find the story of Christ, we must be doubtful as to its validity as well. It's all sham, scam and the greatest swindle in history. The ultimate mindfuck!

    The only 'fact' that matters is that the Bible was written. And by that fact alone it constitutes the most important work of art, a work of life, that has been handed to man. For why would God write a forgery? The words of the Bible speak of an ageless wisdom distilled down to it's essence; and from that essence only can man attain life immortal.

    So Grinchy stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

    The Bible just proves that people will believe anything in their panic. "Christians" prove that we are in the main still a bunch of dumb monkeys.

    God did not write the bible. He is a fictional character created by the men who did write the bible. Most of it was written hundreds of years after the "events" portrayed, by appropriating the stories of other cults and cultists. The story of jesus christ can be found only in the forged books of the New Testament, an assortment of gospels and epistles that required many centuries and hands to create. Even so late as the middle of the sixth century, the canon of the New Testament had not been settled by any authority that was decisive and universally acknowledged. Iit took well over a thousand years to canonize the New Testament, and the Old Testament canon remains different to this day in the Catholic and Protestant versions. This canonization also required many councils to decide which books were to be considered “inspired” and which “spurious.” Contrary to the impression given, these councils were not peaceful gatherings of the “good shepherds of Christ” but raucous free-for-alls between bands of thugs and their arrogant and insane bishops. Christianity - like all other cults - is all a huge con job.

    There you go with your godless nonsense again Grinchy. The fact remains that this book has lasted thousands of yearsand it is read and believed by countless millions, and no amount of your piffle is going to change that. When you come before his heavenly throne you will be hoping that the forgiveness he preaches will be given to you. But I think with your `pride of knowledge' you have already sinned a step too far.
