      1. yes, please continue to list these comments.

         this “righteous anger” spin can justify any type of violence. i haven’t read all the responses (maybe you already addressed this ) , but jesus attacks the temple at busiest time and it is obvious he is STOPPING torah mandated practice . these guy say “prince of peace”
         “sinless”
         “loving”
         yet his actions at the temple could have started riots and additional violence which would have angered the romans and this could have lead to deaths of innocents people

         we are just pointing out the hypocrisy of christians.

2. lol when you are stopping a torah MANDATED practice, the last thing the pilgrims are going to think is “righteous anger”

   quote :

   He was preventing people from carrying anything across the courtyard and preventing people from buying and selling animals for sacrifice. He was trying to shut down the Torah mandated function of the Temple altogether at its most busy time and as using physical violence to do so. If a bunch of Muslims went through a church whipping people with bullwhips and trying to shut it down, nobody would say it was not a terrorist attack.

   now some will say that jesus didn’t use violence on the humans, but whipped out animals instead. this would be cruel, because it wasn’t the animals sinning, it was the humans. jesus is TAKING his anger out on innocent animals.

   “It was a soft whip so they felt no pain. The whip was primarily used so he didn’t have to lay fingers on them.”

   sorry, but this is lie. lets see how much “soft whip” will be able to move herd of animals, if it were so “soft” the people would have easily toppled jesus and DEFENDED their businesses. jesus’ actions at the temple make no sense because they would have continued “business as usual” if it was “soft whip”

   the whipping had to have had an affect on innocent traders

   quote :

   I’m not speaking out of any hostility to Christianity. The challenge was to find something “immoral” about the literary character of Jesus in the Gospels. The assault on the Temple is an example of pointless violence against innocent civilians – low-level functionaries doing a necessary job, to make some entirely symbolic point. I call that terroristic but it doesn’t really matter if you accept that word. The point is that it was, in my view (and I was asked for my view) immoral. Unprovoked violence against innocent people is immoral and even more so during the week of Passover because the city was packed with people from the country, the Romans were greatly outnumbered. The city was a powder keg and the Romans were paranoid about any kinds of riots or disturbances and they reacted swiftly and ruthlessly to stop any potential unrest the second it started. They were big bud-nippers, those Romans. Causing that kind of commotion at the Temple could have gotten hundreds or thousands of innocent people killed. It would be an entirely reckless act which would have engendered great tension or dare I say it, terror among the Jewish crowds.

      1. Exodus 22 lays out property laws. For example, if you steal an ox and slaughter or sell it it, you have to give five oxen as expiation. The pigs belonged to someone, and Jesus allowed the demons to go into the pigs. Did he ask for the owner’s permission?

         And wouldn’t Jesus have known what would happen? If he did or didn’t, he still should have asked the owner for permission. I don’t think the owner would have wanted demon-possessed pigs, let alone have them drown. Either way, he would have suffered a financial loss.

         “A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.“

      3. LOL, Cerbie is being willfully stupid. I didn’t say he stole the pigs. My point is that those pigs did not belong to him, and yet he allowed the demons to enter without consulting the owner. How is that not a violation of that person’s property rights? Does your savior allow you to use someone’s property without their knowledge?

         Even if we can say that Jesus was not responsible for the actions of the demons, the fact remains that he did NOT ask the owner’s permission. He let the demons go without permission. That is a violation of that person’s property rights. Ergo, your savior was a sinner.

Those animals did not belong to him. Did he ask for the owner’s permission? How is that not a misuse of property?

         So I repeat the question: does your savior allow you to misuse someone’s property?

         Oh and just for the good measure, let’s also quote Leviticus to further condemn your sinful savior:

         “Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution—life for life.”

         Now you may say “well Jesus didn’t kill the animals”. But, he was still responsible for them. Therefore, he needed to make restitution to the owner for the loss of, hmmm let’s see…oh yes…2000 pigs! WOW! So did you savior reimburse the owner? Come, come Cerbie. Try to answer.

Paul clearly stated that Christians had to obey the laws of their government, even if it was of non-Christians (Romans 13). Jesus violated this rule. Roman law was clear:

          “…the first chapter of the lex Aquilia provides that “[i]f anyone kills unlawfully a slave or servant-girl belonging to someone else or a fourfooted beast of the class of cattle, let him be condemned to pay the owner the highest value that the property had attained in the preceeding [sic] year.””

          Notice Britney’s claim here. If permission is not sought, then such is a sinful action. Remember that.

          “Narrated ‘Abaya bin Rafa’a bin Raft’ bin Khadij:

          “My grandfather said, “We were in the company of the Prophet at Dhul-Hulaifa. The people felt hungry and captured some camels and sheep (as booty). The Prophet was behind the people. They hurried and slaughtered the animals and put their meat in pots and started cooking it.”

          I don’t see Muhammad asking the owners permission to take their animals, kill them, and eat them, do you?

          So by applying consistent standards you have no option to admit muhammad was a sinner aswell.

          Notice Cerbie’s pathetic tu quo que. Even if the argument could be made that Muslims are guilty of double standards or “inconsistency” because the hadith Cerbie referred to does not say anything about permission (as we will see though, the hadith explains the context), that still does not solve Cerbie’s problem of the sinful savior. We have already seen that Jesus violated both Jewish and Roman law (and by extension, Christian law which states that Christians must follow the laws of their government), so deflecting to Islam does NOT change the fact that Christians are condemned by their own religion to hell.

      18. Now, let’s look at the hadith. Cerbie can’t seem to read too well, because the hadith says:

          “The people felt hungry and captured some camels and sheep (AS BOOTY).”

          In other words, the animals were taken as spoils from the enemy! The context is a battle between the Muslims and the pagans. Since when is it required to ask “permission” to take spoils from your enemies? LOL!!! This one is a particularly embarrassing FAIL for Cerbie!

          Another hadith completely clarifies the situation:

          “Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:

          We were with the Prophet in Dhul-Hulaifa and there the people were struck with severe hunger. Then we got camels and sheep as WAR BOOTY (and slaughtered them).” (Bukhari, 7:67:406)

          So the context was war. Taking spoils from the enemy is perfectly allowed and legitimate. It would be silly to ask one’s enemies for “permission”. In contrast, Jesus allowed the demons to possess someone’s animals WITHOUT his permission. That is a gross violation of that person’s property. Ergo, Cerbie’s savior was a sinner. Of course, that probably wouldn’t have surprised Martin Luther! 😜😜

I asked you to provide a text from Torah and you failed miserably. Now your objection is simply your biased opinion, which is about as reliable and persuading as dipping fly wings in your drink to get healed 😂😂

          They feared Jesus and asked him to leave the area because they were amazed that he had authority of the demons who had been terrorising people.

          Now, as I’ve shown multiple times now, since muhammad didn’t ask permission for others people property he is a sinner. Worse still, since Allah allows iblis to harm humans, he is also a sinner. And since muhammad killed critics, gouged eyes and was generally an awfully violent human being, you simpym don’t have a leg to stand on.

          LUKE :

          And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.

          man, they EVEN got what they desired, not to go into ABYSS or SENT out of the country

          they BEGGED, BEGGED….

          jesus is here portrayed as ABUSING his authority and control.
          he knows they are DEPENDANt on his fathers authority (i can of my ownself DO nothing ) to get into a HOST . now they have been caught, they NEED A host , and they can’t get a host unless jesus allows them to get into one. jesus could have LET THEM PERISH WITHOUT PUTTING THEM into a HOST!

          they are NOW caught because of “son of god” and they can’t GET into a HOST. jesus says “go possess the pigs”

          THAT is like i have MIRACULOUS power to stop you from causing pain and suffering unless i put you into a HOST.

          ANYONE WOULD CALL ME A CRIMINAL IF THEY KNEW WHAT I DID . but jesus gets away with it?

          meaning while you are NOT IN a host you are SCREWED.

          and those DEVILS don’t die , just like sins live in the wilderness, the devils live in the sea and are blocked from coming back to the land, but jesus COULD have made the devils SUFFER by not giving them a HOST lol

      3. “Then Jesus entered the temple[a] and drove out all who were selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 He said to them, “It is written,

         ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer’;
         but you are making it a den of robbers.”

         “Then they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves; 16 and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 He was teaching and saying, “Is it not written,

         ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’?
         But you have made it a den of robbers.”

         “Then he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling things there; 46 and he said, “It is written,

         ‘My house shall be a house of prayer’;
         but you have made it a den of robbers.”

         “The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15 Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 He told those who were selling the doves, “Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace!”

         Notice, that not a single account describes Jesus “beating people”. This is Muhammadan wishful thinking.

         And if such an account makes Jesus a sinner, what do we make of Muhammad who gouged people’s eyes out, chopped off limbs and assissinated critics? Another case of muhammadan hypocrisy clear at work.

         Sahih International: [Iblees] said, “Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few.”

         THE ARABS who were listening to these verses are TOLD about satans intentions , at the same time they are told about the INTENTIONS of those who DID OBEY ALLAH. OBVIOUSLY Allah wants the people to be like the angels who OBEYED.

5. 1. ATTACKS people who did not attack him. WRECKS their temple. BREAKS torah instructions :

   quote :

   People traveled throughout the known world to go to the Temple. On some holidays people were to bring sacrifices — and the sacrifices had to be personally owned by them, a kosher domestic animal. If you were traveling from Egypt or Babylon you would not drag a sheep all that way (the animal had to be without blemish, and that is unlikely on such a long journey). There were people who sold animals for sacrifice and who traded foreign currencies for these people.

   quote :
   You’re quite right about the money-changers. They performed a NECESSARY service in two respects.

   1) Sacrifices cost money, right? I mean, animals don’t come for free, right? If you want a sacrifice, you have to pay a fair price for the critter, and probably to the priests too.

   This required MONEY. And the only form of money in those days were coins. But there were literally hundreds of different kinds of coins. All sizes, all with varying precious metal content, sometime chipped away. It required the services of a professional to sort them all out and assign a fair value.

   2) Many coins bore graven images of gods or deified emperors, and were wholly unsuitable to be used for paying for Temple sacrifices. The money-changers were there to accept these base coins in exchange for kosher coins — naturally for a reasonable fee.

   the gospels say that jesus used violence on those who SOLD AND those who BOUGHT.

   those who bought were doing torah mandated practice, jesus precedes to show how to “love NEIGHBOR” by CAUSING damage to the skin of the animal and skin of the people.

   can you purchase an ANIMAL which is WHIPPED ? the whip did not cause any damage? if not, why didn’t the jews pin jesus on the floor and KILL him/stone him to death ?

   //////////////

   if NT jesus was a GOOD jew, he would have come out with a SOLUTION that did not PREVENT innocent BUYERS and traders from NOT doing torah mandated practices, but jesus doesn’t give a damn about torah practices, so his DESIRE was to STOP INNOCENT pilgrims doing TORAH mandate, causing DAMAGE and CREATING blemish on animal. jesus TRASHED yhwhs mandate.

   jesus’ “philosophy” is that if there is one BAD apple or a couple or a FEW, lets TRASH the WHOLE lot.

   lets TRASH the animals too who had NOTHING TO do with the sin .

   ////////////////////

   a pagan crosstian WROTE :

   “A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.“

   Please identify where Jesus stole property, as per Ex 22? Also please clarify why someone else is responsible for the actions of demons?

      Killing geckos with one blow brings more reward than killing them with two blows. This was narrated in Saheeh Muslim via Khaalid ibn ‘Abd-Allaah from Suhayl ibn Abi Saalih from his father from Abu Hurayrah, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever kills a geckos with one blow will have such and such hasanah (good deeds); whoever kills it with the second blow will have such and such hasanah, less than the first; and whoever kills it with three blows will have such and such hasanah – less that the second.”

   1. Exactly. The demons entered the pigs with Jesus’ permission, but Jesus never asked the owner’s permission. Cerbie keeps avoiding this problem. I think he realizes in the back of his mind that this story presents serious problems for Christianity. I mean really, in one short story, the entire foundation of Christianity is destroyed. You can’t be saved with a sinful sacrifice. The Levitical sin offering had to be free of “blemish” (not to mention female not male). If Jesus was a sinner, then he could not be the sacrifice.

      Cerbie thinks that the fact that 2000 pigs were drowned would not have made people angry. And since it is highly unlikely that the owner would have been a Jew, that only leaves the possibility that he was a Gentile, mostly likely a Roman. So even if Jesus did not violate any specific Jewish laws (which actually he clearly did), he would have violated Roman law. Paul clearly stated that Christians had to obey the laws of their government, even if it was of non-Christians (Romans 13). Jesus violated this rule. Roman law was clear:

      “…the first chapter of the lex Aquilia provides that “[i]f anyone kills unlawfully a slave or servant-girl belonging to someone else or a fourfooted beast of the class of cattle, let him be condemned to pay the owner the highest value that the property had attained in the preceeding [sic] year.””

      http://lawdigitalcommons.bc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1334&context=ealr

      Face it Cerbie. No matter how much you may protest as a brainwashed Christian zombie, the fact is that your savior broke the law and was thus a sinner. Therefore, you are still in your sins and will go to hell when you die. I know, it sucks to hear it. That’s quite a bummer.

9. imagine by the click of a button you can WIRELESSLY terminate two thousand animals,but first you need someone else to give you that ability. you get the ability , then crosstian says “you pressed the button”

   But you crosstians MISSED THE POINT

   note that:

   mark 1.34 – jesus hush up evil ones
   The demons can even request that they dont get sent out of the country

   like solomon jesus seems to be deciding what action the evil ones take.

   it was something jesus Wanted.

   mark has his jesus CONTROL what devils can and cannot do

   when the man was possessed he was caused HARM by the devils (jesus KNEW this)
   If the devils could cause the man harm, then they could cause the pig harm too, jesus would know this, the pigs PANICKED like the man panicked and they CRASHED to their DEATHS.

   This is UNECECCESARY suffering and could have been avoided

   where was “love thy neighbour ” precept gone when jesus abused someone elses property?
   how is jesus obeying torah “perfectly” when he is giving evil ones allowance to harm innocent animals and destroy business?

10. “but Jesus never asked the owner’s permission.“

    “Narrated ‘Abaya bin Rafa’a bin Raft’ bin Khadij:

    “My grandfather said, “We were in the company of the Prophet at Dhul-Hulaifa. The people felt hungry and captured some camels and sheep (as booty). The Prophet was behind the people. They hurried and slaughtered the animals and put their meat in pots and started cooking it.”

    I don’t see Muhammad asking the owners permission to take their animals, kill them, and eat them, do you?

    So by applying consistent standards you have no option to admit muhammad was a sinner aswell.

    jesus was, according to the bible, a man who said “why do you call me good”
    throughout the nt , we see how your pagan “god man” treated people

    1. noah TURNED THE other cheek for 900 years, does he have an abusive record like jesus?

    2. jesus PUBLICLY called a HUMBLE woman “little DOG” in the PUBLIC….IN THE PUBLIC……IN THE PUBLIC……IN THE PUBLIC, he included her ILL daughter too….

    since it is her ILL DAUGHTER WHO WOULD BE THE RECIPIENT OF THE BREAD AND jesus said ” it is not right /fair to take the childrens bread and cast it to the dogs….”

    jesus pictures dogs having bread CAST at them like REAL dogs have bread CAST at them

    jesus said “why do you call me good”

    when your bible says jesus had a human nature and when we have evidence of jesus’ SINFUL behaviour, one should admit and put” trust” in your bible that jesus was a SINNER .

       1. “Jesus drove out the traders and animals because they were desecrating the temple. He used a whip. But no where does it say he beat the people or the animals. That’s the pathetic date munching muhammadan lies.”

          so let me get this straight, WHERE is your EVIDENCE that anyone WHO purchased an ANIMAL or changed a coin because it had IMAGE of an IDOL, had DESECRATION in his hEART and not TORAH mandate?

          jesus DROVE OUT THOSE WHO BOUGHT AND SOLD .

          so when the pilgrims after that LONG journey to jerusalem went to make change and purchase animal, saw a jesus READY to whip them, my question is,

          you said

          “say he BEAT the people or the animals ….”

          think about this now

          a violent TERRORIST VANDALIZES AND STOPS YOUR “holy torah” MANDATED practices .

          1. do you become pacifist and non- resistant?
          2. do you resist and attempt to defend what god told you to do?

          if jesus DID not INJURE the animals , the people would REUSE them because they would not be BLEMISHED. the POINT of a whip is to CAUSE damage to the SKIN SKIN SKIN SKIN SKIN

          are you imagining your savior like those GAY poughters who hit lightly? this was a CARPENTER !

          THINK about this MAN worshipper

          just think

          jesus JUST PUT his life on the line by his TERRORISM in the temple, no whip would mean INSTANT MOB TAKE OUT . they would have done your gods “plan ” PREMATURELY .

          that whip SAVED jesus’ life and it had to cause MAXIMUM damage to prevent “DESECRATION which jesus had in mind”

          the “zeal ” lan guage is ASSOCIATED with VIOLENCE in ot.

          so i repeat my questions again :

          1. did the people become PACIFISTS when they saw their TORAH MANDATE get STOPPED ?
          2. did the people become PACIFISTS as soon as jesus entered?
          3. did the people become pacifists when your SINFUL “savior” VANDALIZED ?
          4. if jesus did not use VIOLENCE, then why did john find it NECESSARY to add in a WHIP ?
          5. if the animals were not whipped which caused WOUNDS, the people could have DONE business as usual , so what was the POINT of chasing everyone out? ONLY to have them RETURN again and do business as usual?

13. My friend and brother Faiz, it would be great to create an article on islamic “minimal facts”

    this should make paulis very jealous:

    I will start off quoting :

    The famous Mu’tazilite scholar Qadi ‘Abdul Jabbar (d. 415 AH) in his book “The Establishment of Proofs for the Prophethood of Our Prophet Mohammed” (تثبيت دلائل نبوة نبينا محمد رسول الله صلوات الله عليه وسلامه) responds to an argument which we still come across quite often today.
    Did the Prophet (peace be upon him) only or mainly attract followers by promising them war booty?
    Qadi ‘Abdul Jabbar said that this is nonsensical. How could one believe that these people chose to unconditionally obey the Prophet and be prepared to fight against their own tribes, parents, brethren, etc. just for the sake of material wealth so easily? Furthermore, if they were only interested in the spoils of war they could have told the Prophet that they themselves have more experience than him in fighting such wars and gaining war booty. In addition, why on earth would they choose the side of the Prophet and sacrifice their women, wine, silk, etc. and adopt a religion which derides the religions of their beloved ancestors for wealth which they could attain by fighting other wars without making such compromises? Why should they risk their lives and be willing to spill their blood for defending such a controversial figure such as the prophet when they don’t’ even believe in him? Moreover, if they didn’t truly believe he was a prophet, what guarantees would they have had that he would even be victorious and fulfill his word of disseminating war booty to them?
    It makes no sense. It makes no sense.

    Today Shaykh Sayed read a verse commanding the Prophet to tell the Muslims: “If you love Allah, then follow me [Muhammad], so that Allah will love you” (Alli Imran, 31).

    Imagine that you’re a citizen of the Roman Empire in the 6th century. As a Roman, you are part of a civilization that appears to have reached the peak of human excellence. Roman architecture is beautiful and overwhelming; Roman scientific and philosophical thinking is advanced; Roman religion is, at this point in time, thoroughly Christian and has accepted Judeo-Christian history as their own. By contrast, the Arabs are a series of nomadic, illiterate pagan tribes that constantly are at war with each other and have no connection to a rich philosophical and scientific tradition, as well as to any kind of centralized government.

    But, within the course of 30 years, the Arabs are at your door step, ready to conquer and topple your empire. Furthermore, these once mostly illiterate pagan tribes are now unified: and they suddenly know a lot about Judeo-Christian history, and they claim to know and worship your God better than you know and worship Him.

    What in the world united barbaric, warring Arab tribes and caused them to become unified enough to topple and compete with an empire that reached the peaks of human excellence? What brought them from being pagans to being connected to Judeo-Christian history and thought?
    Muhammad.

    When I hear the verse Shaykh Sayed read, I don’t understand the verse to be telling me that I should follow Muhammad’s way and religion because that is how I can get God to love me. Instead, the verse makes me imagine—and truly imagine—who Muhammad is.

    I try to imagine what these Arabs were feeling and thinking when they decided to follow and to unite under the direction of Muhammad’s religion. And after transporting myself into their mind as best I can, I end up seeing a man whose beauty and virtue can’t be accounted for even by the best of what philosophical theory has to offer.

    I end up feeling for Muhammad a powerful love and devotion, a kind of love and devotion that makes me want to give up EVERYTHING—my values, my cultural norms, my friends, my family, and even my religion—to follow him to the ends of the earth if he so asked me to.

    I didn’t have any deep philosophical reflections when I heard this verse. I only felt an awe had an a-rational love and devotion for Muhammad: the man who took history into his hand; the man for whom I want nothing more but to fall at his feet in awe and servitude.

    jesus “love thy neighbor ” krist just saw WHAT harm it was DOING to the POSSESSED individual, now jesus thought , “hey THEY fear me…. LET me give them what they want …. let me allow them to RAVAGE and RAPE pork ….”

19. jesus the sinner with bad company and telling bad company to purchase swords

    Quote:

    I have to reply here since I have no link to the posting you made that I’m really replying to.

    You said, “Possibly (about Jesus having 2 swords).

    But I don’t think so.

    It doesn’t fit the overall pattern of behavior. Jesus rejected violence. Over and over.

    The point of the swords is that there is no point to the swords. To have them and not use them. If you don’t have the potential to fight back, there is no virtue in not fighting back.

    ***

    With regard to Jesus’ alleged non-violence — THERE’S ANOTHER topic for Professor! — I point out to you the following:

    * At least 5 of Jesus’ 12 innermost disciples were VIOLENT men. Simon “Cephas” aka Simon Peter — but we KNOW that Simon was ALREADY known as “Cephas” or “rock” even before he met Jesus, because John 1 tells us so. There are the two sons of Thunder (Boanerges) — a street name if I ever heard one. There is Simon the Zealot — and in the 1st century, to be known as a Jewish “zealot” was a loaded expression, like being known today as an ISIS jihadist. Josephus talks at GREAT length about the Zealots who revolted and fought against Rome. It is INCONCEIVABLE that any 1st century evangelist would EVER have called him “Simon the Zealot” without knowing EXACTLY what he was saying — that Simon was ONE OF THEM, the ZEALOTS. And above all there is Judas the Daggerman aka Judas Iscariot.

    That is VERY strange company indeed for a so-called “Prince of Peace” to be keeping.

    * Jesus used violence to chase the money-changers from the Temple.

    * Jesus AUTHORIZED carrying 2 swords into the Garden of Gethsemane.

    Your explanation — that there is no virtue in resisting the temptation to use violence unless one consciously brings weapons so that one can consciously refuse to use them.

    I find that INCREDIBLY WEAK. That is like saying, I have a weakness for hookers and cocaine, but if I resist these temptations, I get no credit in Heaven for resisting unless I place temptation literally into my pocket by carrying cocaine and actively seeking hookers for companionship — and only then, if I resist, do I then get great credit.

    It is a sin to place oneself in the proximity of sin. That is why the Catholic Church says, avoid the near occasion of sin. If I have a problem with alcohol, I ought not walk past a barroom on my way home; it might tempt me. Pirkei Avot aka Ethics of the Fathers says, “ya-asay siyug ha-torah” — “Build a fence around the Law.” In other words, do not do merely the minimum of what the Law requires; do MORE than it requires, for it keeps away the possibility of sinning.

    Subjecting oneself to near occasion of temptation in order to build one’s moral character is a BOGUS way to build character.

    ////

    the truth is this christian god was full of hate,anger,racism, warring, blood thirsty and wanted violence

    sinful jesus never told pilate about his terrorist plans, NOTICE HOW he REMAINS SILENT IN MARK AND NEVER TELLS PILATE THAT he GAVE ORDER TO PURCHASE WEAPONS WHICH CUT THROUGH FLESH !

    “You go to the festival. I am not[b] going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.” 9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee. 10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret” (John 7:8-10).

    Jesus told his brothers, who did not believe in him, to go to the festival but that he would not go. But after his brothers left, he went to the festival anyway. Now you could say that this was a harmless lie, but it was a lie nevertheless.

    please do comment on this blog, joel became chicken sh*t on the canaanite massacre….

    Jesus held off granting a healing request to a Gentile women until she cleverly responded to his racist remark by admitting it was correct to characterize the Jews as children and herself as a dog:

    22 And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed.”
    23 But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us.”

    24 But He answered and said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
    25 But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”

    26 And He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
    27 But she said, “Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
    28 Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed at once. (Matt. 15:22-28 NAU)

    Inerrantist scholar has to trifle that the wording here suggests the Gentiles are not wild dogs, but pet dogs, as if this reduces the stigma!

    15:25–28 The woman merely repeats her plea for help but also kneels. Whatever her intention, Matthew will see some kind of worship here. Jesus pursues the question of the distinction between Jews and Gentiles (v. 26). Jews frequently insulted Gentiles by calling them “dogs,”— the wild, homeless scavengers that roamed freely in Palestine. But the diminutive form here (kynarion rather than kyōn) suggests a more affectionate term for domestic pets, particularly since these dogs eat under the children’s table. Even at best, Jesus’ remarks still strike the modern reader as condescending. Jesus apparently wants to demonstrate and stretch this woman’s faith. The “children” must then refer to Israel and the “bread” to the blessings of God on the Jews, particularly through Jesus’ healing ministry. The woman disputes none of Jesus’ terms but argues that, even granting his viewpoint, he should still help her (v. 27). The Gentiles should receive at least residual blessings from God’s favor on the Jews. In fact, the Old Testament from Gen 12:1–3 onwards promised far more than residue. The woman reveals a tenacious faith even as a Gentile (v. 28). Jesus explicitly commends this faith, closely paralleling the narrative of 8:5–13 (as does also his instantaneous healing from a distance). Matthew’s distinctives underline her faith by the addition both of her words in v. 22 and of Jesus’ praise here. “Your request is granted” more literally reads let it be done for you as you wish.

    Nashville: Broadman & Holman Publishers.

    Evangelical scholar Hagner admits what “dog” really meant:

    This word, used first by Jesus and then by the woman, recalls that Gentiles were sometimes likened to the unclean dogs that roamed the streets (cf. 7:6). κυρίων, “masters,” suggests the superiority of Israel as the people of God over the Gentiles.

24. krist ignores the begging woman, his pals mediate on her behalf and say “send her away ” i.e give her what she wants so she goes away…..

    krist replies , ” i can’t help her, i have come ONLY for the LOST sheep”

    ” i was SENT ONLY to the lost sheep”

    “it is not fair to take the children’s bread and THROW it to the LITTLE ANIMALS/dogs”

    Thom Stark :

    Jesus began with a myopic vision: he was sent only to care for Israelites. The Canaanite “dogs” were out of his purview. But it wasn’t until he was confronted with one of these dogs, face to face, that he discovered, to his surprise, that they are humans too, and dignified, even in their despair, capable of greater faith even than the so-called “faithful.”

    He was tempted in all ways as we are, tempted to see the Other as less dignified, less worthy, less faithful, less capable of faithfulness, less inclined to tolerance. He was tempted to see the Other as Other, rather than as Self. At first, he couldn’t see his own people, couldn’t see himself, in her. But confronted with that Other, Jesus learned. He learned to sympathize. To sympathize with the enemy. Jesus learned.

    an interesting response on the MARKAN VERSION of the story :

    In this story, Jesus never agrees to the equality of gentiles, or the equality of women, or the equality of gentile women with Jewish men. Jesus called the woman a dog. And she made her point by agreeing with him, not saying that she deserved equality or fairness, but merely begging for crumbs.

    It is a very, very common thing for someone who is oppressed to have to placate and pretend to agree with the oppressor in order to gain some small benefit. And that’s what we see happen here.

    Once she had admitted to and agreed with his understanding of her place in the world, a dog who can at most expect crumbs, Jesus gave her what she begged for. It does him no harm to show a bit of kindness to a lesser person who acknowledges their subordinate nature. But there is no evidence that his behaviour patterns changed in the long-term to reflect a change in belief and a letting-go of prejudice. Jesus did not then reach out to other Gentiles in his lifetime. He did not, in his lifetime, work to send apostles to Gentile communities. This incident was an aberration in his behavior, a single time when, on a whim, he decided to indulge an inferior person who amused him with her clever response but did not challenge his privileged world-view.

    The woman may have bested Jesus in this argument, in the sense that she convinced him to give her what she desperately needed.

    But she did not best him by arguing for her equality. And she did not best him by convincing him that she was equal. She did not best him by arguing for fairness. She did not convince him to treat gentile women, as a group, fairly.

    Saying that a dog may claim crumbs that fall from the table is a very, very different thing from saying that a dog is equal to a human child eating at the table. She used the time-honored technique of the oppressed and enslaved of flattering their oppressor in order to gain favor.

    ***

    And Jesus’s initial rejection of her request is not merely prejudiced. It is cruel. And evil.
    This is a woman who is desperate. Her child is severely ill, in a way that was not understood at that time. She believed her child to be not just physically ill, but possessed by evil spirits.

    Any interpretation of the story that suggests that Jesus was using this woman to illustrate a point
    requires recognizing that he considered making a point to be more important than the welfare of a desperately ill child. It requires recognizing that Jesus considered making a point more important than basic kindness and good manners to a woman asking a favor.

    Scoring points in a debate can never be more important than kindness and caring for actual human beings.
    ***

    Imagine being desperate to find a cure for your sick child. You muster your courage, and approach a doctor well-known for being able to cure conditions that others find impossible to treat.

    And that doctor calls you a dog, who has no right to take treatment that might be given to real people.
    That doctor is, at best, a prejudiced arse hole At worst, he’s advocating a sort of low-level genocide, providing medical care to worthy people but leaving those of a lesser race to die.

    And in situations of great oppression, there are always many stories of oppressors showing occasional acts of small kindness to this or that oppressed individual. And then using those occasional small acts as a way to tell themselves and others that they aren’t really oppressors, because there is this or that lone individual among the many they oppress to whom they’ll give an occasional and small bit of kindness while still treating them badly in the larger picture.

    we note that the woman’s request–healing for her daughter–is granted not on the basis of faith but on the basis of her argument. Jesus says, “For such a reply…”

    in other words, she would come as a DOG looking for food. the truth is that jesus got refuted on this big time. she taught him about GRAVITY. she taught him how crumbs UNINTENTIONALLY fall….

    quote :
    The long story of Jesus healing the man born blind in John 9 has the Pharisees concluding that “this man is a sinner,” since Jesus violated the Sabbath law when he healed the man (9:24)

    quote :
    And Jesus’ disrespect of the Torah is not restricted to this incident. While Christians have a hard time understanding the problem with John 9 and the healing of the blind man, Jesus makes a serious breach of the Sabbath. Here the severity of the crime will not be the enormity of the act but the meaning of it, the vanity of it.
    Jesus heals a blind man on the Sabbath. But before doing so, Jesus makes a mixture of dirt and spat that he smears on the eyes of the blind man. Here the problem is not the healing. It is the mixture, the making of which violates the Sabbath. It must be understood that the mixture is wholly unnecessary. Jesus has healed many people. They can just touch him and his power flows into them, even. And of course, it is not a property of mud to restore sight. If Jesus wished to heal the blind man, he could have just done it.
    But he made a deliberate choice to violate the Sabbath. He made an entirely useless mixture. Such an act is a pure act of rebellion. This is what makes the action so horrifying. If making the mixture produced some good, one might be able to find some justification for it. But the mixture does nothing. Jesus made it only to break the Sabbath.
    These are not the acts of a Torah scholar. His arguments show him to not understand Torah well. His actions show that he did not respect Torah.

But then they had miraculous birth stories that seemed to make Jesus’ baptism and anointing there superfluous. But the tradition of Jesus’ baptism was so strong that they had no choice but to include it, and then explain why he was getting baptized at all (at least in Matthew). Luke simply passes over the rationale for the baptism.”

29. quote :
    Have you counted jesus predictions of his death in each gospel starting with mark, then Matthew, luke and John? I think you will find that the number of predictions increased and also start to begin sooner in his ministry, very soon indeed in the fourth gospel john, with the baptist in the first chapter declaring jesus to be the lamb of god, a sacrificial lamb. Mark has no such early prediction. Let me know what you find when you study the gospels in the chronological order I suggested. The tell me how you see the story growing over time.

    quote :

    “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

    But on a much deeper level the early Christians developed a rationale that linked the death of Jesus to human sin. Not only did they have the Jewish scriptures for reflecting on Jesus’ death, with Isaiah 53 playing a prominent role. They also had the ongoing sacrificial system of the Jerusalem Temple against which to understand Jesus’ death, a death that took place in the immediate context of Passover. Here the key passage is the witness of John the Baptist in 1:29 of the Gospel of John, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” Clearly the reference to the “Lamb of God” invokes the Passover tradition that celebrates God’s freeing of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt. But the point of John’s Gospel is that this Lamb of God “takes away the sin of the world.” And yet, we know that the Passover tradition has nothing whatsoever to do with the forgiveness of human sin. Forgiveness of sin, rather, is the central concern of another Jewish holy day, Yom Kippur – the Day of Atonement. What the Gospel of John has done in 1:29, then, is to have John the Baptist “Yom Kippur Passover.” The meaning of Yom Kippur’s atoning sacrifice invoked from the ritual spelled out in Leviticus 16 is here applied by John to the death of Jesus at Passover. This blending of two different sacrificial traditions creates a brand new one – the atoning death of Jesus for human sin. Paul hints at the same connection in 1 Cor 5:7, “Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed,” especially when seen in connection with Paul’s claim in Romans 3:25 that God offered up Jesus as a “sacrifice of atonement.”

    Not only that, but the characteristics of an appropriate animal sacrifice known so well in early Judaism were now applied to Jesus. Every animal sacrifice had to be unblemished, without spot or physical defect – a ritual category of perfection. But when applied to Jesus as a human being, this ritual category took on moral overtones of perfection. To say that Jesus was a perfect sacrifice was to say nothing about his physical attributes, rather it became a theological claim about his moral attributes. He is unblemished, sinless, perfect. Therefore just as the High Priest could confess the sins of the people over the head of the scapegoat in the Yom Kippur ritual from Leviticus 16, a goat that bears away the sins of the people into wilderness, so now did God lay upon the sinless Jesus all the sins of the people, and he bore them away by means of his sacrificial death, only to be vindicated by God in resurrection.

    You’d actually be shocked at the sort of things the church fathers believed were in the Biblical texts: just search for the agrapha (many of which were just unusual variations or twists on existing Biblical texts). And good luck finding, for example, a great number of early quotations of Matthew 19:17 that don’t include the line “there is only one who is good, my Father in heaven” — which implies that Jesus isn’t even omnibenevolent.

32. the
    Did jesus kill an INFANT ?
    Does jesus work hand in hand with satan?

    ::::::::::::::

    I don’t really see how anything in my comment can be construed as a “failed try, taking yet another swipe at God.” I simply said that the linked article fails to address the major crux of the issue re: 2 Samuel 12 (the passage with God and David’s child). How is that a “swipe” or anything?

    And on that same note, you write of your now “definitive” response to this. But instead of even offering your own analysis of the passage, it looks like you’re again simply deferring to the apologetics you find from a simple Google search: I note that your link is the first or second one that comes up when you search ”God kill David child.”

    You don’t so much as even quote anything from the actual Biblical passage (again, 2 Samuel 12) here. And amazingly, neither does the article with the “better and fuller answer” to this, either. The closest it comes is a reference to 2 Samuel 12:5, when it suggests that David is the one to actually pronounce the sentence of death. But of course later, in 12:13, God then re-frames this, telling David that he “shall not die,” and that his child will instead.

    The article goes on to say “we are not told what actually caused the infant’s death, only that the infant died and God did not intervene to stop this death” — and then shortly thereafter that Nathan’s pronouncement “did not mean God would kill the child or cause the child’s death.” But this blatantly ignores what follows in the text. 12:15 explicitly says “the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David” (ויגף יהוה את הילד אשר ילדה אשת אוריה לדוד) and that it was gravely sickened. Of course, the article can’t deny that the punishment is “transferred” from David to the child (though it seems to prefer to only speak euphemistically about the child entering into “sleep” when it dies). Yet it justifies this by making the child a pawn whose death simply serves as ethical lesson to David: its death “brought home to David the reality of sin’s deadliness.”

    Again though, the language of 12:15 is unambiguous that God did have active agency in bringing the fatal illness onto the child; and incidentally, the verb used to describe God’s “striking” the child here (יגף) is related to the one used in Job 1:11, where God gives orders to satan to afflict Job.

    And one important thing to realize about the book of Job is that God and satan act in concert to afflict Job here. We actually see a significant expression of this later in 2 Samuel itself (vis-à-vis its parallel in 1 Chronicles), too. In 2 Samuel 24:1, God “incites” David against the Israelite populace. Yet in the parallel to this passage in 1 Chronicles 21:1, it uses the exact same language (…יסת את דויד ל), only now satan is the (intermediate?) subject of the inciting, not God himself! But if the text in 2 Samuel is true — and if it can be harmonized with what’s said in 1 Chronicles — this can only mean that God does have an ultimate and direct agency here.

    In any case, back to Job: as you also make reference to in your comment, in both 1:11 and 2:6 it’s God who gives the authorization for satan to afflict Job. In fact though, God was the one who originally offered up Job as a candidate for the affliction to begin with (1:8)! Of course, even though God and satan clearly act in concert here — and even though satan still seems subordinate to God — this doesn’t mean that their intentions are aligned. Quite the opposite in some places. This is most poignantly seen in Job 2:3, where in light of Job’s persistence in righteousness despite his affliction, God actually blames satan for having “incited” him against Job “for no reason.” (The verb used for “incite” here, תסיתני, is actually the same one used in 2 Samuel 24:1 and 1 Chronicles 21:1, too.)

    Considering this and other things, there’s a voluminous academic literature about how the portrayal of God in Job and elsewhere goes beyond just a kind of metaphorical anthropopathism (as in later Jewish and Christian apologetics), but genuinely evinces an understanding of God in which he doesn’t possess the omniscience ascribed to him elsewhere, etc. Satan seems to have really “tricked” God in Job, forcing him into an unjustified action. Incidentally, that God is “outsmarted” also appears in Genesis 2-3, where the serpent appears to foil God’s plans to restrict knowledge from humans — which, when later in counsel with the divine assembly, God reveals to have been the product of a protective selfishness in the first place.

    Again though, these are all precisely the sorts of things that one would be familiar with if they had a robust academic knowledge of the Biblical texts in their wider ancient Near Eastern context: precisely the kind of “[early] Hebrew thinking” that you accuse others of being ignorant of. (As it pertains to a few of the things I’ve talked about in these last paragraphs, you may want to look into the work of David Penchansky, or something like Whybray’s article “The Immorality of God: Reflections On Some Passages in Genesis, Job, Exodus and Numbers” in the Journal for the Study of the Old Testament.)

34. was jesus a liar?

    absolutely!

    QUOTE:

    But this does not change the fact that, unless we presume that he changed his mind, Jesus is nonetheless portrayed here as misleading his brothers. This deception is likely justified for ‘John’ by the fact that ‘his brothers did not believe in him’ (7,5).

    It is worth noting that the idea of Jesus going from Galilee to Jerusalem secretly (Jn 7,10 οὐ φανερῶς ἀλλ’ [ὡς] ἐν κρυπτῷ) is a development of this theme in the gospel of Mark, where when Jesus goes up to Jerusalem from Galilee, he does not want anyone to know it (Mk 9,30 καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν ἵνα τις γνοῖ).

    //

    The problem with that interpretation, Bren, is that when Jesus does go to the feast, he very much teaches publicly about who he is and performs a controversial healing. You can believe that John and Jesus and his brothers are actually only thinking about a triumphal procession, but that is not what the text says.

    //

    There are a couple of textual variants that are obvious attempts by copyists to smooth over the difficulty.

    As for the Johannine redactor, sure that’s always a possible solution if we assume he clumsily did not notice the issue, but it’s pretty glaring in this initial portion of the text.

    Regardless of the origin of the issue, I think it’s fair to say that the author(s)/final redactor was obviously not too concerned about the appearance of Jesus misleading his brothers who did not believe in him and might have even been seen as conspiring against him or trying to set him up. I think it is more likely that the author saw Jesus as as cleverly avoiding this difficulty, perhaps out of typical heroic cleverness and/or obvious divine providence, as he does repeatedly in this visit (Jn 7,28-29.44 8,20.40.53.58-59):

    Then Jesus cried out as he was teaching in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I am from. I have not come on my own. But the one who sent me is true, and you do not know him. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.” 30 Then they tried to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come. …

    Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him. …

    He spoke these words while he was teaching in the treasury of the temple, but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come. …

    “… but now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. …” “Who do you claim to be?” … “Very truly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I am.” So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

    //

    John gives us his reason for why Jesus might want to deceive his brothers. Their suggestion was not made in good faith because they did not even believe in Jesus.

    //

    Judea, because pthe Jews1 were seeking to kill him. 2 Now qthe Jews’ Feast of rBooths was at hand. 3 sSo his brothers2 said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. 4 For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, tshow yourself to the world.” 5 uFor not even vhis brothers believed in him. 6 Jesus said to them, w“My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world cannot hate you, but xit hates me because I testify about it that yits works are evil. 8 You go up to the feast. I am not3 going up to this feast, for zmy time has not yet fully come.” 9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee.

    10 But after ahis brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private. 11 bThe Jews cwere looking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?” 12 And there was much dmuttering about him among the people. eWhile some said, “He is a good man,” others said, “No, fhe is leading the people astray.” 13 Yet gfor fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.

    14 About the middle of the feast Jesus went up hinto the temple and began teaching. 1

    What makes you think the crowds had left? Throughout this section some were still there who believed in him, some wanted to arrest him, some wanted to kill him, some wanted to stone him.

    “Yes – if the PA is original then the action of ch8 takes place the day after the festival when the crowds have gone home.”

    But the pericope adulturae was not originally part of John’s gospel. Reductio ad absurdum. Quod erat demonstrandum.

    QUOTE:

    they said:

    “also may see the works”

    this would include his public speeches. john supports this : i have spoken openly to the world

    mark says that jesus hid his important teachings.

    but when jesus said :

    I am not going to this festival

    this would mean that they did not think that jesus would do his public speeches, because he said he is not going.

    Most John scholars consider this to be a problem text that is not really reconcileable. He says he won’t go. Then he goes. You can see why apologists would want to make it mean something it doesn’t actually say.

    QUOTE:
    This is silly. The brothers who did not believe in Jesus nonetheless wanted him to show his true divine self to Israel???

    And the author does give motivation for Jesus to mislead his brothers, ie, they did not believe in him, therefore they are not being sincere when they say Jesus should go up to Judea so that his disciples may see his works, and he might become widely known and show himself to the world.

    You’re trying to add your own ideas to the text even when the text is directly contrary to what you want it to say.

    QUOTE:

    “I not going up to the feast” means “I not going up as my-true-manifest-self to the feast.

    anabēte

    anabainō

    so jesus means that they should show up to the feast as disbelievers AND by that they knew he meant that when he said he is not going, he meant he is going up as something other than….?
