re: #70 William Lewis

The whole thing is they’re stupid enough to think he was white. Pisses me off that these scum deny that he was a Jewish man in Roman Palestine at his core. We Christian’s believe he is also divine but his real nature _requires_ him to be human as well. In that human nature he is a Jewish man. Period.

So everything I do to talk about Christianity is to tie it into what we understand today about Rabbinic Judaism. When He was alive as a man, I look at how he taught as a Rabbi. As a Jewish man.

That is literally evil to them. They are my enemy in so many ways that I can no longer explain - we must finish, as Christians, the story begun about Christ as a Jew. We are what we are and we will do everything good we have the chance to do.

May God have mercy on them. I’m not sure I can despite what I am taught to do. But then I am just another idiot pretending to follow Christ Jesus.

in the book of bible commentary called ‘the book of the acts of god’ written mid 20th cen by a couple of anglican ministers, there appears this sentence:

“it must be admitted that the religion of jesus is not the same as the religion about jesus”

ive spent quite a bit of time thinking about that
