They should get whipped, tortured, hung on a stick, mocked, stabbed, and left to die of suffocation and thirst in the roasting sun?

Wow, aren't you the friendly one?

Are you serious, well if you are then you need to know that this answer of yours must have been in the spirit of Jesus Christ.

This means, unless you felt blessed when you wrote WHIPPED, TORTURED, HUNG ON A STICK, MOCKED, STABBED.... then you have not followed your KING.

Luke 6:28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Romans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

1 Thessalonians 5:15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.

Of course it's better than being a gosh darned dirty joo

They killed Jesus. It dosen't get much worse than that.

They don't seem content with that, either. They want to control the money and the apparatus of the state.

One day someone is going to do something and I want to be right there laughing.

There seem to be a smal group of Jews that are Messianic.

Try not to hate, instead pray for your enemies to become more like Jesus Christ. Stay in Peace brother and sisters.

Re: Like some ideas with Babtism

I was raised in a Baptist household. We were always taught that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirt are all the triune God. We only believe in one God, but there are three aspects to Him. All are equally God, but all are individuals as well. Yes, it is confusing for our finite brains to hadle, but it's in the Bible and the word is true!

Luke 3:22

1 Peter 1:2

Analogies don't always get the job done--and they aren't quite right, but think about water, ice, and steam--they are all water. As for myself, I'm a husband, a son, and a brother--but I'm still me at the end of the day.

I like this explanation.

Re: Like some ideas with Babtism

The Church I am going to is a Protestant Lutheran Church, but I have not decided yet where I really belong.

I think I belong to the faith which St John the Baptist had and Holy Margareta from Germany.

My favorite verse is John 1:5 "God is light; in him there is no darkness at all." I think this means simply that unconditional love is the only true God, and that humans never can become Gods since our flesh of this world.

I do like that Babtist seem (of what I have read) to require concious acceptance of the Christian faith in Jesus Christ.

You also consider the sacramental actions as symbolic, which I also do.

I can not be sure if God is more then just the Father, ofcourse I do not deny the Son or the Holy Spirit but only the Father is eternal.

Does Baptist consider God to be both the Son and the Holy Spirit as well as the Father? Could you explain more about this for me.


I am a Christian because I believed in the Father, but also came to know the Holy Spirit which made me convert to Christianity. I think it is better to be a Christian than a Messianic Jew.
