Jesus spoke of loving your enemy, Matt.5:43, Luke 6:26, but look what is said in
Mark 16:51,16 "Go preach but who ever does not believe his ass will be set on fire".
I don't think that is good news. Hell if that is love, what the hell is hate. In fact, you don't
need to be an enemy, even those who would rather not believe in Jesus
are condemned to to be set a blazed.
Yes and his father loved the sweet smell of his own sons sacrifice, Ephesians 5:2
Nice family.
Yep. Jesus taught his followers to turn the other cheek, to return evil for evil to no one yet he sanctions the separation of goats from sheep - and we all know what he has planned for the goats.
Shish kebabs.
Haha Nicolaou! Good one!
I also was bother by the double standards of Jesus, and "us"...
HE could get mad at the money changers, call them for what they were, but WE had to "turn the other cheek" when robbed and lied too by "our brothers" o/wise we weren't "Christ like"
Ahem....correction, their ASS would be set ablaze. Hardly fair to our four legged friend now is it?
It always seems to me that the animal world has suffered horribly for our mistakes according to Biblical convention.
As to Jesus being a hypocrite, we don't actually know that he said the stuff about the ass, fig tree, sword etc Who knows? A lot of the more extreme stuff, certainly against women, was said to be added in the 4th century by mysoganist monks jealous of the unusual power women in the early Christian church wielded.
Sorry. Gone off topic a bit.
Diogenesister: I hope he didn't call the Canaanite woman a dog, Matt.15:22-26.
That would make him a jerk.. We only have the Bible and people say it 's the truth, we can't
pick somethings and say that's not what he said.
Better to get thy (ASS) CHEEK slapped by the devil than set ablaze by Jesus!
Nb And what is wrong with being a dog, pray tell?!!
Edit: canine-ism! Or is that Canaan -ism??!!
You right, Mark 16:51 was dropped. It read go and preach to those dogs, they changed it to
Mark 16:15. It sounded more loving.
