@ mrg3105:
Yes, it’s true that they made a mess of things by rendering Yeshua ‘divine,’ but this was possible ONLY after the Judean HQ of the movement known until then only as “The Way” was effectively destroyed after the Bar Kokhba War, by Hadrian’s prohibition of “circumcised persons” from the city & environs of Yerushalayim. At that point, leadership of the movement passed, by default, into the hands of gentiles. Had it remained in the hands of Jews, it would’ve been IMMENSELY harder for strictly gentile concepts — like the notion of a created being to be viewed as ‘God’ — to creep into the ideational structure that was entering, at the time, on a long path of crystallization.
You (and they) know quite well that you can always ignore any post of mine or anybody else’s that you have no use for. I skip over lots of posts on this and other pages of this blogsite; it’s no problem.
In any case though, you’re dead wrong if you think it’s just about having NT quoted (certainly you’re wrong if you think it’s about that as to YoursTruly), because the HISTORY of that development on this site very clearly began with YAMIT’s quoting of NT to show its purported falsity.
When I first came on board here (some 8 yrs ago), he pestered me, damned-near non-stop for months on end, to drag out of me what I believed about all sorts of things, INCLUDING haNitzri, while constantly peppering me with NT quotes & cites, to show me I was fullovit on the subject. Eventually I got ’round to firing back.
As long as the sneering & the jeering and other attacks continue, the defense will continue, and that may well include NT quotes or cites.
Wrong again. I don’t ‘promote’ ANY culture. Every culture (w/o exception) is an integument, a matrix, that groups of persons cling to for mutual ego support against other ones. Some cultures are a trifle less deleterious to the consciousness than others, but ALL of them provide in some degree a crutch which keeps a man’s legs from ever becoming strong.
This is somewhat simplistic. The sea peoples who came to be collectively known as the Plishtim were Greeks — Aegean, maybe Mycenean or Cretan, etc — and they clearly antedate the Exodus. Moreover, arguably, some people identified by that handle (Avimelech & cohort) were in Cana’an in Avram’s & Yitzchak’s day as well.
@ yamit82:
Understood it quite well.
Also understood that it was off-point, and pedantic in the context offered.
But you’re too needy to not offer support to those whose support you seek. So you lay down your marker this way, knowing that now they owe you.

The fact remains that you are clueless in the amtter.
Rules which remain, nonetheless, irrelevant & off-point to the discourse.
Even if that were so — and I am NOT conceding the point (only bypassing it momentarily for the sake of discussion) — so what? You’d asked me why he allowed himself to be killed. I answered you.
Bilge. There is no way that the mission I described above led to those millions of deaths.
You could, OTOH, argue that the spread of a gentile-oriented Xty — i.e., a Xty cut away from its Jewish roots after AD 136 — led to those millions of deaths. But the Sting operation on haSoton? — no, that did not cause those deaths. In fact, I would argue quite, QUITE the contrary; but that is a lengthy discussion, for another day.
At its core, it is what one who is called to speak for God DECLARES pursuant to that call. More often than not, this incorporates inter alia a vision of the future, or elements of the future — and I had reference to this when I made the above remark.

Actually bernard you are quite funny. You have a great Jewish sense of humor. I’m not like you…..rolling it off a ducks back. Good luck!
I had a little time to kill. I had a big work project that I finished up on Sunday. Now the fam is dying for attention so I don’t have much time for this nonsense….lol……
dweller Said:
its funny to watch you post your whole long list of references again. I know you are looking at your post in adoration of its brilliance, its superb graphic arrangement on the page with doubles spacing so as to frame each brilliant statement. Each post you write is a work of art surpassing Michelangelo. 😛
bernard Ross Said:
Perfect analogy, because Narnia also featured a fictitious character who was purported to make “brilliant” sayings. I do not wish to “know” the contents of every published fairy tale in existence, after all they are fiction.
dweller Said:
rubbish, the gospels are obviously fiction a fairy tale, its self evident…. it has pretend Jewish characters postulating gods mating women and popping out Jewish messiahs when there are not Jewish attestations to the main fictitious character or the fictitious events portrayed therein.
dweller Said:
as Jesus was not even shown to exist he could not be a 1st century Jew. also, he could not hav had a “way with words” because similarly to the brilliant talking lion it was the author of the fairy tale who made up the “brilliant” sayings. that would be self evident to even a gerbil who was not head over heels in adoration of a fairy tale character.
@ Bernard Ross Said:
dweller Said:
never mentioned a god there. they identified themselves as following your nitzri, jesus, jeshua, etc.
dweller Said:
irrelevant, and opinionated. they followed jesus and identified themselves as christians. The overwhelming majority of those who identified themselves as christians followed Jesus, and prayed to him. they often cited their NT for reasons to persecute Jews. It matters not whether they followed your interpretation of what your character taught. If your character was so brilliant then why was he unable to make himself clear to the overwhelming majority of his followers and worshippers.
dweller Said:
Of course they followed him, it was a generally accepted fact that the overwhelming majority of christians identified themselves with following and praying to Jesus. Its you against those billions when you assert they weren’t following him.
dweller Said:
if you ask christians if they followed Jesus they will answer in the affirmative
Bernard Ross Said:
dweller Said:
The same may be true today but the fact is that those who called themselves christians and followers of Jesus for 2000 years persecuted the Jews for the same period. What they had in common was their purported following of Jesus. He appears to have had quite a deleterious effect on his followers. Why is there confusion about his sayings which you find brilliant out of the same NT they are preached from and read, when the christians read it they consistently have resorted to persecuting Jews. with such godly special beginnings you would expect a more worthy outcome. Perhaps your jesus is actually the anti messiah 😛
even today BDS churches are reading his sayings and then libeling,swindling and persecuting the jews. There appears to be a consistent behavior with one thing in common.
@ yamit82:
Identify the ‘lie.’
Acknowledgment of what? He made no claim to divinity, whether overtly OR implicitly.
“Son of God” is not synonymous with “God the Son.”
(Nor is “Son of Man” indicative of divinity.)
Adam is also characterized as the “Son of God. BFD.
So are the angels characterized as the “Sons of God.”
— Are Adam and the Angels all “God” too???
Get a life, Huffy

@ bernard ross:
If it’s important to you to see the actual poll, it sounds like you need to contact NEWSWEEK and ask them for an explanation.
What I saw of the article itself was not, as I recall, entirely flattering toward the above observation, so the poll is most unlikely to be bogus.
honeybee Said:
I had a great aunt Annie. She had a concession in a traveling Carnival. When ever they came to town I wouldpay her a call at her concession. I don’t think she was too happy to see me 🙁
@ bernard ross:
Bonehead analogy. The only comparison is that, again, YOU don’t know that the contents of the Narnia tales are ‘brilliant’ if you haven’t read them for yourself. Instead, you know only what you’ve been told.
More importantly, though, the subject was NOT the Narnia tales. The subject was your claim that Jesus was “no 1st century Jew” and had “no way with words.”
Reading the Chronicles of Narnia could not possibly give you a clue as to whether you claim was sound — yet reading the gospels is ESSENTIAL to even being able to discuss your afore-cited claim; a matter self-evident to ANYBODY possessed of the gray matter God gave a gerbil.
Objection: Begging the question. You have assumed facts not in evidence.
You have not established that the ‘God’ they identify themselves with is in fact haNitzri. You characterizd him as ‘my’ nitzri. But that fellow did not presume to be ‘God,’ as their purported master is indeed called ‘God’ (indeed, “the very God of God,” to quote the Nicene Creed).
Moreover — and more significantly — the reality is that the overwhelming majority of those “so many people” never even knew what their presumed ‘god’ even taught, inasmuch as they’d never read the gospels (or anything else) in their entire illiterate lives.
And the reason you HAVE to beg the question as you do is that you simply cannot afford not to see them as all followers of somebody whom you NEED to write out of the Jewish people. Your objective was established before you ever entered on your quest, and that objective did not, and does not, include discovery of the truth.
And just how would they listen to those sayings for 2000 years? You’ve created a straw man here. They didn’t have him around to listen to for 2000 years.
They didn’t follow Jeshua
— they followed kings & priests who called him ‘God’ as a means of controlling them; but they didn’t follow Jeshua, and it neither ‘dishonesty’ NOR ‘poor judgment’ to recognize that fact.
“We”??? — WTF is that? You represent yourself, shmendrick, and nobody else. Most Jews do not share your anti-christian malevolence. They may not endorse the gospel narrative, but they have no use for your hatred & bigotry; you’re strictly on your own in that department.
@ bernard ross:
QTC, like YoursEverTruly said, it IS clearly accepted as fact, but they are not permitted to teach it in the schools. If you ask Xtns whether they accept the nativity narrative, they will answer in the affirmative. See for yourself; ask them.
No, that’s right; not me. But then, I know a lot of Xtns; just as I know a lot of Jews. And — unlike yourself — I know what they both are like from the standpoint of trusworthiness.. And then too, I have a direct, ongoing, personal familiarity with those ‘stories’ and their credibility; unlike PresentCompany, I don’t need to rely on what some paranoid shlemiel w/ an axe to grind has to say about them.
Well, Bernard, for one thing, there is the inexpressible joy that comes of knowing that it ‘plagues’ you. (Not that that makes you a ‘Jew.’)
And since I’m ‘stalking’ you, better watch your back; you never can tell when I’ll jump up out of nowhere and shout, ‘Boo!”

Bernard Ross Said:
But it has been proven here many times that YOU are NOT an honest man. An honest man hearing a narrative presented by the christians on a Jewish issue, with no factual evidence for the narrative, would take stock of the integrity, character and historical behavior of the christian professor of the narrative. Here we have as the professor of the narrative, which is NOT corroborated by Jewish sources as being factual, a collective who have serially and systematically for 2000 years libeled, swindled, tortured and slaughtered Jews after hijacking the Jewish bible and revising it to suit their narrative. Not one shred of credibility would I allow for those professors.

@ honeybee:
Of course. “Virgin birth” is simply the term-of-art attached to the concept.
But you knew that’s what I meant. We’d been over this before. Why bring it up again now?
@ dove:
Hardly. I just stated a fact; it’s that simple. It needn’t constitute ‘egotism’ to state reality; I don’t get off on it; that’s your assumption, because YOU couldn’t make such a statement without it being egotistical. The truth is there was nothing of me in what I said; no body-english on the ball. It was a simple, uncomplicated observation.
Yes, yes, yes; they all say that.
But then, what else can they say, under the circumstances? The posting record tells the story. I twist & distort nothing. My posts are consistently interesting, and some of my greatest detractors have obliquely acknowledged the fact. Even YOU no longer claim that you just avoid my comments (as you used to say); now, your story has become that you’re ‘entertained’ by them, and that THAT’s the reason you read them.
The truth is that you can’t NOT read them, and you know it. What’s more, my making the observation is not ‘boasting’ either. It is simply recognizing an uncluttered fact to BE a fact.
It’s readily apparent that you have no clue as to the meaning of the word pride as used in your remark, or in the adage you incorporated in the remark. It is not the contemporary meaning, and has absolutely NOTHING to do w/ an individual’s relationship to other persons — only his relationship w/ Adonoi.
I place NOBODY on a pedestal, myself or anybody else. You, OTOH, most certainly DO do just that, beginning with anybody who can validate your ‘Jewishness.’ Your frailty is downright palpable ; it’s GOT to drive your kids bananas.
@ dove:
It’s yourself you’re speaking of, not me; your insecurities stick out on you like quills on a porcupine. I don’t attach myself to anything — and have never had a need to convince anybody I was Jewish. I am who & what I am — and remain content to be.
Nope. And nope.
What makes you think they haven’t?
You will never know peace till you give up your hatred. “There is no rest to the wicked.”
You project your own nuttiness onto the Jewish people. The only enemies you personally are surrounded by are the ones you generate in your own consciousness to give yourself a phony sense of righteousness. Anger is the energy of a wrong mind trying to make itself feel ‘right.’
You cannot ‘stay strong’ unless you are already strong to begin with. You aren’t strong — because you’re drained by your hatred.
@ dweller:
lol….There you go again….Mr. Egotistical Full of HIMSELF. I wouldn’t call what you have to say interesting. It is so off the wall and bazaar that it would be entertainment for someone bored – did I say bored? If there is nothing better to do see how Dweller twists and distorts.
That is NOT something to be proud of. Pride goes BEFORE the fall. First there is misplaced, displaced pride…then you fall …. fall from the pedestal that you have placed yourself on.
@ honeybee:
No such thing as an ‘excellent response’ that is irrelevant to the matter it responds to. He might just as well have discussed the workings of the internal combustion engine
— which can be a fascinating topic of discussion, but which would’ve been likewise off-point & irrelevant in context.
@ honeybee:
Nor did I.
It was offered strictly for those who need other people of ANY sort to confirm such. And that seems to constitute most of those who post on this page.
@ dove:
You think he’d have preferred the perks & squirts over immortality?
Maybe YOU’d have preferred the booby prize over the real one when they played pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey at birthday parties. But it’s apparent that Adam took a different view. There’s a midrash which says that when he realized the enormity of what he had done, and its consequences, he committed suicide — climbed to a high promontory and threw himself off of it.
He was directly revived by Adonai, who explained to Adam that, of himself, he had neither the power, nor the authority, nor the understanding to suitably atone for what he had done, but that in time He himself would provide the means for Adam’s atonement & redemption.
@ dove:
Of course: SOMEBODY on this page has to have something interesting to say. And YoursTruly obviously DOES, and consistently so.
@ dove:
Anybody can list whatever and whoever they choose but I think he meant it rhetorically but he failed to note that if they all considered him Jewish he had omitted to tell them what he had disclosed to us about what what he believes and to whom he believes in. Omission of such details would be in effect a lie!!!!! Making him out to be a Liar!!!! And their opinions a gross misrepresentation based on his lies!!!!! 😉

mrg3105 Said:
Jews believe that one person’s death cannot atone for the sins of another. in Deuteronomy 24:16, where it explicitly says that no one can die for the sins of another:
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the father. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin.[Deuteronomy 24:16]
The whole of Chapter 18 of the Book of Ezekiel expands upon and clarifies this principle. Furthermore, this chapter teaches that all we have to do to gain G-d’s forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good. Nowhere does it say that we must have a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins
IN SHORT… The Bible is clear, and it is consistent: one person cannot die for the sins of another.
In other words, the sins committed by one person cannot be wiped out by the punishment given to another. In Exodus 32:30-35, Moses asks G-d to punish him for the sin committed by the people in regards to the Golden Calf. G-d tells Moses that the person who committed the sin is the one who must receive the punishment. Then, in Deuteronomy 24:16, G-d simply states this as a basic principle, ‘Every man be put to death for his own sin.’ This concept is repeated in the Prophets, in Ezekiel 18: ‘The soul that sinneth, it shall die… the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.’ The prophet Jeremiah looks to the day when the mistaken belief that one man’s death atones for another man’s sins shall no longer be held by anyone: in Jeremiah 31:29-30, the prophet says: ‘In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.’
where it explicitly says that no one can die for the sins of another:
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the father. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin. [Deuteronomy 24:16]
@ yamit82:
Thanks for this. I took a pause for the cause when I saw the attack in Tel Aviv.

There are rules about that also.
We, the People Israel, do not have a Torah for such a ‘mission’ requirement.
His ‘mission’ led to millions of deaths of other Jews, and still is KILLING US – his immediate FAMILY. If I could time travel, and I had a choice of who to not allow to survive past first 8 days, it would be JC. And, if he was an observant Jew, and had the faculty to understand what he would cause in future, I’m sure he wouldn’t try to stop me.
What do you think ‘prophecy’ means?
And this is how the goyim accepted the Torah LOL
No, I think people are sick of having NT quoted at them. I know I am.
Sure it does. You are promoting the culture that made the myth of Greece being the foundation of Western Civilisation, and subsequently Xtianity. Ta Biblia is what the ‘World’ accepted, a papyrus parchment i.e. Septuagint. How many Xtians know the word Torah or that the original translation was by rabbis because Greeks could not be bothered to learn Ivrit or Aramit?
In fact they are plagiarising, lazy, aggressive, and self-promoting ignorants. People can’t help gravitating towards centres of knowledge because knowledge creates wealth, and wealth attracts greed.
Greeks came to Israel. Only much later Israelites fled to parts of the Greek-speaking world.

In these passages Jesus is explicit about his return. He said that he would return riding the clouds with angels to judge the world and that with the sound of a trumpet he would send his angels to gather his chosen ones from the Earth. This would be no secret, invisible or “spiritual” event. Instead, the whole world would see him in the sky just the whole world sees the light of the sun. This was to happen some time during the generation of those to whom he was speaking. To make it clear to his listeners that this event would not be in the distant future, he told them that some of them who were there listening to him would still be alive to see it.
