Jesus Was A Radical ...

[Karadeniz]

1. Or, what Jesus symbolizes is radical... It's really 100% soul nature.

2. In fact he over-threw

…the money changers.

Wow—I love Fugelsang.

4. He *violently* overthrew the money changers

I don't know why anyone would claim that Jesus was nonviolent, when the stories clearly say the opposite.

7. Not sure he was "violent"

……against the bodies of any person. It was their property. The tables and pots (of gold).

9. He constructed a weapon, according to the Gospel of John.

So, he at least threatened them with it, even if he actually didn't use it on them.

If someone did today what Jesus is said to have done in the Temple, he'd very rightly land in jail with a stack of felony charges.

3. Anti-death penalty is not very sure.

John 8,7 was added much later to the book. It was not in the earliest "witnesses".

Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” They said this to test him, so that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” NRSV

5. Well, in this instance I will leave it to you...

to tell them their bibble is full of shit.

I do it all the time, but in this instance I will let you spread the good word.

6. Jesus opposed changing the Law.

"For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." - Jesus.

The Law as portrayed in the Bible contains many capital offenses.

10. It didn't work out too well for him.

Like so many, he had to be rescued by his powerful father.
