Jesus is a Jewish, Devil worshipping phoney, how can you agrue otherwise?

Wow, that's probably the most blatant blasphemy I've ever heard. The reason God turned his back on His Son for that brief moment was because Jesus was carrying sins of the world (past, present, and future - yours included!) on Himself, and God cannot be in the presence of sin - it's contrary to His perfect nature. Yes, it's a mystery that I won't understand completely until I get to heaven, but it's also what makes the plan of salvation so beautiful. Jesus was willing to momentarily sacrifice his relationship with His own father so that we could have eternal life. Jesus paid for our sins on the cross, making us perfect in the sight of God if we accept His sacrifice and put our faith in Him. The agony of Jesus's separation from His Father was what prompted Him to cry out "Father, why have you forsaken Me?" Jesus already knew the answer - it was rhetorical.

From your argument, I don't see how christians are being used as puppets by jews. And the USA controls Israel, not the other way around. \n\nWe all know by now that the only reason the USA invaded Iraq was to make Cheney and Bush's friends richer (Cheny's company, Haliburton, was the first contract company to get a deal with the government to "rebuild" Iraq). That's like pointing out that the black guy is going to die in the beginning of an '80's horror flick; it's just that obvious.\n\nI have heard conspiracy theories that 9/11 was actually staged by the United States government, and even though there are some pretty interesting evidence to support that theory, I think it's still reaching.\n\nBut I understand your frustration, and I'm sure there's at least a few million people out there who share your feelings. Preach on.

WWJD? He was 100% Torah-observant as He walked the earth; He kept the Sabbath holy, He celebrated the Feasts of the Lord, He ate only clean food, He wore tzitzit.... Yeshua the Messiah was born a Jew, lived as a Jew, taught as a Jew; His original followers were Jews. To claim that they were not Jews or Jewish is ludicrous! Even Paul was a Law-abiding Pharisee. The Bereans checked what Paul taught with the OT - the OT was the standard Paul had to meet.\n\nWhat is not Jewish in Christianity are the heresies which Emperor Constantine formalized for the Roman Empire and which his puppet Pope, Sylvester, claimed the authority & power to change God's Law and rubber-stamped the apostasy into canon law of the Roman Catholic Church. Unfortunately, when the Reformers tried to break away from the vain traditions of men, they were not successful; they failed by maintaining Sunday Sabbath, Easter Sunday, Christmas - things which the Bereans would not have accepted, things which Paul would not have accepted, things which the original disciples & apostles would not have accepted. Who thinks that God would ever accept those traditions?! (Hint: God has NEVER tolerated any paganism mixed in with His worship. Paganism is an abhorrent abomination to God.)\n\nYou cannot server two masters.... You can follow the path of Yeshua the Messiah, The Way, the Truth & the Life. Or, you can follow the path of a pagan emperor (until his death bed baptism - for whatever good that did, only God knows) and the traditions of Popes (& Reformers, et al).

Hitler did not all of a sudden say, 'Hey, lets band everyone together by hating Jews.' The hatred of Jews in Europe goes all the way back to the time it became Christian. Passages in the Christian's New Testament paint "The Jews" as being the children of the devil, hypocritical, and interested only in money rather than in Gd. \n\nWho wrote the following???\n\n"""But since I learned that those miserable and accursed people do not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I have published this little book, so that I might be found among those who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews and who warned the Christians to be on their guard against them....Now, in order to strengthen our faith, we want to deal with a few crass follies of the Jews in their belief and their exegesis of the Scriptures, since they so maliciously revile our faith. If this should move any Jew to reform and repent, so much the better. We are now not talking with the Jews but about the Jews and their dealings, so that our Germans, too, might be informed....Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore, in John' 3:39 he states: "If you were Abraham's children would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil." It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.... For they are a heavy burden, a plague, a pestilence, a sheer misfortune for our country. Proof for this is found in the fact that they have often been expelled forcibly from a country, far from being held captive in it....Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them.......but then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!"""\n\nIt was Martin Luther, one of the founders of the Protestant movement in Christianity!

There was a time when the priest of Israel where the only means of communicating with God.  They abused their priveledge and then it was no more.  Catholic priest also have abused their power.  They are not your father.  They seek to deceive you.  You speak of the scriptures and say you understand their meaning.  Then do what is asked of you.  Many will persecute you and call you all kinds of names.  But for Christ sake endure these things.  For your treasures are not on this earth.  We will discuss this more when we get there.

Based on the books in the New Testament, the Jews asked Pilate to release Barabbas, a convicted murderer, (as was the custom for the Roman guard to release any prisoner once a year upon the request of the people) and crucify Jesus Christ. The Gospels state that the Pharisees saw Jesus Christ as a threat to the established religious order as he equated himself with God and rebuked the religious hierarchy and piety of the Jews as displeasing to God, and since he had such a large following of people. So in essence, the New Testament states that the Jewish Religious order plotted against Jesus (hence bribing Judas for a bag of silver to bring Jesus to them). There were obviously Jewish people who did worship Jesus as the Son of God (his disciples, Mary Magdalene, his own mother, etc.) and therefore it is unfair to state that the Bible blames all Jews for the death of Jesus. But Biblical History dictates that it was Jews (meaning the Pharisees and other enemies of Jesus) who conspired to bring about Jesus' death and requested that he be crucified. \n\nHow accurate all of this is historically is almost impossible to verify as almost all evidence is taken from old manuscripts written by the early Christians. Just like any historical story, you need to look at it critically but not dismiss it just because it can't be proven.

What do Jews say about Jesus?  Nothing.  No Jewish religious works reference him, nothing of what he said is studied- he is completely irrelevant to us.  In out opinion, Jesus was just one of many false messiahs throughout history.  Bottom line- to Jews he is a non-entity- of no importance beyond the fact that a religion has been established in his name which has, at times, been used as an excuse to persecute us- and through which lies and defamation about Jews has been spread.

He was Jewish, and for about three hundred years, his followers were also considered Jewish. Eventually, there was enough disagreement about whether you could be a good Jew and believe that the Messiah had come that the "Christians" were told they really weren't part of Judaism anymore. I am a Roman Catholic, but my religion starts with Judaism as its basis. I don't understand how anyone who follows Christ can be anti-Semitic, because Jesus and His family and His first followers were Jewish.

Hi,\nAs a Jewish believer in Jesus, let me give you my perspective.  In a nutshell, most Jews aren't willing to consider Jesus to be the Messiah because (1) there has unfortunately been a lot of anti-Semitism carried out under the banner of the Church - one of the biggest reasons - (2) many Jewish people consider putting faith in Jesus to make them traitors to the Jewish people - going over to "them" instead of "us" - this is true regardless of whether someone is Orthodox or secular.  We're raised to think that if we become Christians / Messianic Jews / whatever term you like, we've stopped being Jewish.  Not true, but that's the sentiment in most of the Jewish community.\n\nAbout atoning for sin - well, most Jews today are no longer traditional and sin plays about as big a role as it does for anyone else in modern society - very little.  For those who recognize that they do need to atone for sin, in Judaism sacrifice has been replaced by repentance, charity, and fasting.\n\nHave you ever checked out www.jewsforjesus.org, you can find a lot of material there to help you understand.\n\nOh and by the way, about the prophets and the Messiah - the majority of Jewish people today would not consider it to be "God's Word".  The Orthodox (10%-20% of Jewish people) believe God gave an "Oral Law" alongside the Written Law and therefore the Bible (Written Law) needs to be interpreted in accordance with the rabbis (Oral Law).\n\nHope this helps,\nRich

Even the demons believe in God.  You have to believe Jesus is God incarnate, was born in the flesh, died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven.  You then have to admit you are a sinner and be sorry for your sins and turn from your sins and make God the most important thing in your life.  Get to know God personally through prayer and his word.  Then you will know you are right with God and he want say " I never knew you".

No, I don't think it is possible. Jesus said that he would come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, so if this guy hasn't been heard and seen by everybody, he's just a Messiah-wannabe. Jesus said, "Many will come in My name and deceive many."

you kind of have to read between the lines when Jesus Chirst is speaking. since he is talking to a jewish believers, he is telling them that he has more sheep/followers who are not in front of him but spread through out the world. and that all his followers are not just jews but from other races as well.

Jesus called for the reformation of Judaism of the time. To him Judaism was being too heavily influenced by the Roman empire, and when he openly spoke out against it during passover (flipping the merchant's tables etc.), the roman empire saw him as a threat... Jesus ( during his time) was not necessarily viewed as the son of God... just a disrupter.

You have some interesting points.  I think the people who you are focusing on are those sadly-narrowminded folks who seem to think their own little brand of Jesus worship is the one and only.  Frankly, my theology and Catholicism are miles apart, yet I have great respect and admiration for their institution and the great strength of their faith.  \n\nAnd as far as Judiasm goes, I find their beliefs run much closer to mine than even some aspects of Christianity--at least the brand some of those same folks preach.  To me, I feel sorry for Jews who are still waiting for the Messiah.  To me, I got a two thousand year head start on knowing and loving Him.\n\nLove--real, unconditional love--must be at the very core of any faith, at least any that puts Jesus Christ at the head of it.  I think there are too many people who love to talk the talk but just cannot bring themselves to walk the walk.  The famous bumper sticker, "What Would Jesus Do" is far too often displayed by people who don't even have the faintest notion of what that is.\n\nJust remember--just because someone has the loudest voice doesn't mean they are telling the truth.  They're just loud.
