The Jewish question      (Christianity)

submitted by Scruffy_Nerfherder to Christianity 4 weeks ago

5 comments

I'm trying to put it all together. The thing I know for certain is that Jews hate us with an unrivaled passion while as Christians we look up to Jews and respect them. I really don't think that respect is warranted.

So, salvation is of the Jews. That was Jesus, he came out of them was rejected by them and offered salvation to the world.

Is it possible, and I think it is, that when they crucified him, when they said, "Let his blood be upon us!" Is it possible that moment broke the covenant, not only broke it but reversed it. While before, salvation was of the Jews, now Satan has them and damnation is of the Jews.

It is very hard not to come to the conclusion.

The pendulum always swings the other way. Instead of looking at things as they are, we've been pushed into this very pro-jew worldview. I'm having a hard time breaking free of it. I fear the pendulum is going to swing the other way very hard. A lot of blood will be shed when that happens.

People think they are basically OK.     (Christianity)

I don't post much here, I hope you don't mind if I share a few thoughts. Atheists like to drive by and take pot shots at what they think Christianity is with out bothering to ever truly understand what it actually says. For full disclosure I am an ex-protestant turned Catholic, I think that will reflect in my definition.

Most people think they are basically good people that get one or two things wrong in life. It should all wash out in the end, and most people go to heaven unless they are racist. That is the only unpardonable sin.

Most Christians think they are basically good people who get one or two things wrong, but they have Jesus as a backup unless they get a little too carried away.

So, the reason Atheists cannot understand Christianity is because they don't understand sin.

This is how bad sin is.

Sin is so bad that God had to die and we have to eat him to be saved. THAT is what Catholicism teaches. Every word of that is very literal. That is Christianity in a nutshell.

If you do not follow this, you are bound to hell. (There is some nuance for this. Many Protestant sects only commune once a year and only see it as a symbol so they don't stress it's importance. You aren't held accountable for what you can't know.)

Again, Sin is so bad - God had to die, and you have to eat him.

Understand this and then you understand Christianity. If you don't understand this, then you really need to. You are not basically a good person, you (as are we all) are evil, Jesus says as much and rather plainly. Not comically evil, evil evil.

If you are going to take potshots and Christianity, at least take pot shots at what it really is. This Strawman stuff is pathetic. Better yet understanding the above definition, even if you don't become Christian will go a long way to making you a better person. At least you could show a little respect for someone that chooses to live a celibate life or works hard to stay away from the evils you think are benign.

As I said, that is the Catholic take on Christianity, but I have found it to be the most complete and true.

The end result of diversity....     (TellTalk)

Is always genocide and mass starvation.

IQ differences lead to disparite out comes,
Which lead to envy,
Which lead to strife.

In a free society the largess and generosity of
the more able class is turned against it, out bred
and murdered by the greater numbers.

In a less free society, all rules that keep the
lower IQ population in check are sold as oppression
so the world steps in and frees up the society,
which leads to death.
