Jesus Christ was anti-family

by deegee in

strong family ties & family values did not matter to jesus:.

- a person must hate his or her family and themselves in order to be jesus’ disciple (matthew 10:37; luke 14:26).

- jesus will give a big reward to those who forsake their family, abandon their home, leave their family behind for him.

Fair comment Nevuela. Let me rephrase.

"It is impossible for anybody who does not read the bible through a Christian bias to avoid the conclusion that Jesus was a false prophet ".

McEnroe Puts Serena at About 700 on Men's Tour

by cofty in

john mcenroe was challenged by npr reporter lulu garcia-navarro to amend his comments about serena williams in his new book in which he rates her as the best women's player of all time.

lulu suggested he should not call her the best "women's" player but simply the best player of all time.

mcenroe was taken aback and explained that the men's and women's tours were very different and that serena would be around 700th on in the men's game.

According to third-wave feminism facts of biology are lies told by the "patriarchy".

When did equality become confused with a denial of difference?

Christina Hoff-Sommers, "The Factual Feminist", tries to bring some common sense to the debate in her latest video.

Can you prove Jesus existed outside of Bible (so called) evidence?

by punkofnice in

i thought i'd done a thread on this before but can't find it.. so.

did jesus actually exist?.

without using the bible i'd like to see obvious proof..

cofty

Fishy I didn't say Josephus was unreliable. The references to JC in Josephus are later additions. There are no reliable references to JC outside the bible.

References to Jesus in Josephus are no longer considered authentic.

What about today's date?

Today is Thursday. Is that proof that Thor is real?

are we not glad there are mitigating scriptures like Paul's " Wives, be obedient to your husbandly owners" ? - Waton

I hope you are being ironic!

I'm not sure they didn't matter but they were secondary. I think this is something that is often missed.

To "follow" Jesus did not mean to read books about him and sing hymns as it does today. For Peter it meant to literally walk away from his wife and his business and trek around Galilee and Judea with the itinerant Messiah. Since Jesus promised that it would all be over within their generation this radical response to Jesus must have seemed not unreasonable.

It is impossible to avoid the conclusion that he was a false prophet, a cult leader and a destroyer of family relationships.
