Who killed Jesus???
Mark 8:
[31] And he began to teach
them, that the Son of man
must suffer many things,
and be rejected of the
elders, and of the chief
priests, and scribes, and
be killed, and after three
days rise again.

Matthew 16:
[21] From that time forth
began Jesus to shew unto
his disciples, how that he
must go unto Jerusalem,
and suffer many things of
the elders and chief priests
and scribes, and be killed,
and be raised again the
third day.

Matthew 23:
[13] But woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye shut up
the kingdom of heaven
against men: for ye neither
go in yourselves, neither
suffer ye them that are
entering to go in.

Matthew 21:
[31] Jesus saith unto them,
Verily I say unto you, That
the publicans and the
harlots go into the kingdom
of God before you.
[45] And when the chief
priests and Pharisees had
heard his parables, they
perceived that he spake of
them.
[46] But when they sought
to lay hands on him, they
feared the multitude,
because they took him for
a prophet.

And Yet...............

Matthew 32:
[37] O Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, thou that killest
the prophets, and stonest
them which are sent unto
thee, how often would I
have gathered thy children
together, even as a hen
gathereth her chickens
under her wings, and ye
would not!

Luke 23:
[34] Then said Jesus,
Father, forgive them; for
they know not what they
do. And they parted his
raiment, and cast lots.

John 8:
[31] Then said Jesus to
those Jews which believed
on him, If ye continue in my
word, then are ye my
disciples indeed;
[32] And ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall
make you free.

Luke 13
[31] The same day there
came certain of the
Pharisees, saying unto
him, Get thee out, and
depart hence: for Herod will
kill thee.
32] And he said unto them,
Go ye, and tell that fox,
Behold, I cast out devils,
and I do cures today and to
morrow, and the third day I
shall be perfected.*

What Was Jesus' Mission?
Luke 4
[17] And there was delivered
unto him the book of the
prophet Esaias. And when he
had opened the book, he found
the place where it was written,
[18] The Spirit of the Lord is
upon me, because he hath
anointed me to preach the
gospel to the poor; he hath
sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach
deliverance to the captives,
and recovering of sight to
the blind, to set at liberty
them that are bruised,
[19] To preach the
acceptable year of the Lord.
[20] And he closed the book,
and he gave it again to the
minister, and sat down. And the
eyes of all them that were in the
synagogue were fastened on
him.
[21] And he began to say
unto them, This day is this
scripture fulfilled in your
ears.
**************************************
James 2
[13] For he shall have judgment
without mercy, that hath
shewed no mercy; and mercy
rejoiceth against judgment.
[14] What doth it profit, my
brethren, though a man say he
hath faith, and have not works?
can faith save him?
[15] If a brother or sister be
naked, and destitute of daily
food,
[16] And one of you say unto
them, Depart in peace, be ye
warmed and filled;
notwithstanding ye give
them not those things which
are needful to the body;
what doth it profit?

Whose that Leftie??
Does the smiling guy in the picture look
familiar to you? He should. His name has
been dragged into the dirt by the RRR
(Religious Right Roaches) in our country
for longer than I can remember. The
RRR has replaced the KKK in
methodology and political affiliation but
their persona is almost identical.
Especially when it comes to stifling free
thinking and dissent in our country.

Hopefully you know who the guy in the
picture is now - Jesus. The REAL Jesus
as described in the 4 gospels of any
bible! He's actually smiling in the picture
which would be considered heresy to the
right wing but, according to some 1st
century church historians, this is
EXACTLY the way he was! Maybe that's
why the dregs of the 1st century -
slaves, women, poor, Gentiles whom the
Jews considered 'unsaved', and
everyone else society rejected RAN to
him in droves and even GAVE UP their
lives for him.

Do you honestly think the 1st century
folks would have behaved that way if
Jesus really was like the religious aholes
we have among us today? The answer
is obvious. Could you picture a Jerry
Falwell, James Dobson, or D. James
Kennedy influencing people to behave
as RADICALLY as they did back then?
Yeah, I said 'radically' and NOT
conservative as the church would have
you believe. The best kept secret in the
world is that Jesus was a radical - a
Leftist! Can you believe it? I couldn't
until I began studying the bible -
REALLY studying the bible, on my own!

This blog is dedicated to shining the
light in the dark corners of the neocon
world of sheer hypocrisy and exposing
them for what they really are - the latest
version of the Nazi Party! The various
stories in the blog cover a very wide
spectrum of thought. If you are a
fundamentalist neocon right wing
follower of Bush, you might want to stop
reading anything else in this blog. I'd
hate to be the cause of an untimely
death!

For Him........

I am a liberal Christian and
of course a liberal in my
politics.
I tried to be “right” for a
number of years at a low point
in my life even though my
heart was not in it.  I was trying
to please God.  One day, I
realized that God had to know
my heart, and I should just be
what I was inside and allow
God to change me if need be.  
You know what! I am more a
liberal today than ever and
finally believe that God loves
me.

I think He likes liberals.  I truly
believe that He likes me.
