I get the point of the story .. but I don’t like to play “what if”. We have plenty to deal with, with reality. :-)
To be fair we need to judge Jesus on the quality of his appointments.
Judas Iscariot, frankly, was found wanting. I think we can all agree on that.
It speaks to Rudy's, uh I mean, Jesus' judgement after all.
That's not just my opinion, but 2000 years of history...
LMAO!!!
The guy's unbelieveable isn't he?
Yeah, well I was thinking pathological...
Count me in the “this is in poor taste” column.
Well then, be my guest!
Cast the first stone...
Newspaper Editor Bill Zebub assaulted Christ for making controversial statements.
No, no. The deal was that He came down to be human, not sub-human.
Sorry but this is lame.
Not very funny, really.
GONNNGGG
LOL! :^)
Support our Centurions!
Jesus was apolitical. A lot of biblical scholars believe that the reason that Judas followed Jesus was because he was a member of a rogue resistance movement seeking to evict the Romans from the Holy Land.
The theory goes:
Judas saw this great Man performing miracles and thought that he would use his powers to kick the Romans out.
Judas then became frustrated when Jesus wouldn’t use his power to accomplish a political goal so he turned him over to the pharisees thinking that it would force Jesus’ hand and he would have to do something to save Himself.
Instead, when given the opportunity he told Pilate “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars, and render onto God that which is His”.
My guess is that folks like Dobson wouldn’t have liked that very much and wouldn’t have endorsed Jesus Christ (R-Nazareth) for Congress or President.
Ron Paul?
You're mad!
"Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence" (John 18:36).
Jesus was apolitical? You mean no King of King? No establishing his kingdom here on earth? No ruler of all creation?
Rather than mere a character in the play, He is the playwright.
