Over the weekend, a teaching assistant at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) tweeted that if he were sent back 2,000 years in a time machine, he would “assassinate Jesus of Nazareth” before Jesus’ ministry.

I suppose people have postulated a world without Hitler. I wonder if Stalin would have gone to war instead against Europe? And with no Hitler would have been victorious?
And the cities of America would be run by communists and all the youth would love communism and....
“Assassinate the only man who came back from the dead?”
Well, not the only one that came back from the dead. But, the only one that REMAINED alive!
Sorry; but being present DOES 'change' something.
Perhaps he's been tutored under Mel Gibson.
Seen thoughts similar to this elsewhere. This is not the biblical view of what happened. In the mind of God, and therefore the correct way to view the circumstances of Christ's death, and, in so doing, put to nothing the foolish posturings of this academician, there was no taking of Christ's life, but a giving of it:
John 10:15-18
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
I wasn’t as clear as I could have been regarding backwards time-travel. One theory is that you can go backwards in time. You just cannot change recorded history. And the key word there is “recorded”.
So for example, you can go back to 1795 America and move some forgotten pebble in a field one inch. But you cannot convince President Washington to run for a third term.
I know it sounds kooky. And I don’t buy it myself. But some physicists do give the idea some weight.
P.S. There are also theories that you can go backwards in time AND change recorded history. Then the universe splits. I don’t know about the backwards time-travel part.
But the universe-splitting part does have some mathematical and experimental evidence to suggest it. I taught physics. And I took the universe-splitting thing seriously enough to discuss it in my class.
You don’t recognize the great Mike Singletary? You fail foolsball forever.
I tried watching BLM CELTICS on ABC.
ABC ROKU requires that I log into my tv provider.
So free ABC ain’t free. I used to get ABC NEW HAVEN & ABC SPRINGFIELD ON ANTENNA. On digital antenna, I get neither.
Now, I have on the BLM BRUINS
You aren’t in range of an ABC station? WTF?
Anyway, bilasport, their MLB streams were delayed by about 10 minutes so I assume NBA would have a similar delay.
The resurrection of Jesus is different from the other resurrections in that the resurrection of Jesus is “permanent”. The others that were resurrected died again when it was time for them to die again. They all died twice. Jesus rose, nevermore to die.
No disagreement here
He’s just another angry homosexual.
i bet if i get a better antenna i can get both ABC Springfield MAss and New Haven
Anybody ever read “The Grand Inquisitor” from Tolstoy’s Brothers Karamazov? I think it sheds light on the modern liberal Democrat weltanschauung.
