The Muslim professor who was accused by one of her students of asserting that Jesus’ crucifixion never took place and that Christ’s disciples did not believe he was God has resigned from Rollins College.

FAN-tastic!
So. Much. winning!
Now ask her how Mohammed rode a magic donkey.....ANNND...What was the name of the magic donkey?
Not only did this fanatic Muslim professor give an exemplary student false bad grades, she also filed a false police report against the student. Why was this professor bent on hurting this student? Because the student voiced his Christian beliefs and he contended with a lying Muslim excuse for a professor.
I'm guessing that the professor and the college will be sued by the student. Also, I'm hoping the professor is prosecuted in a criminal court for filing a false police report against the student.
bkmk
Good riddance.
Exactly. The story is he wanted to with his friends 5 year old, but his compatriot pleaded with him to have some decency and wait.
Jesus’ disciples understood that he was the Messiah and he was not going to be the physical king of Israel, however the masses who welcomed him on Palm Sunday, saw him as a physical liberator of Israel from Roman control, not that he was the spiritual leader who brings us salvation of our souls.
At what point? Because he was crucified with "King of the Jews" on his cross, if I remember correctly. And didn't at least one apostle (I'm thinking John) ask "Who are you?" And Jesus reportedly replied, "Who do you think I am?" (or something along those lines.
“King of the Jews” was an insult to him by the Romans. As to him being recognized as the Messiah:
See Mark 8:29:
Peter’s Confession of Christ
…28 They answered, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others say You are one of the prophets.” 29 “But who do you say I am?” He asked. Peter answered, “You are the Christ.” 30 And Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about Him.…
Also:
Matthew 16:16 — And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
and
John 1:41-49 — John 1:41-49New International Version (NIV)
41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter[a]).
Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. 45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked.
“Come and see,” said Philip.
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.
Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”
WINNING!!!Okay, but all of these references: Christ, Messiah, King of Israel... still does sound like they thought he was there to unite the tribes and throw off Roman rule.
Hopefully the student and his parent will sue her into a tent.
Yes, they do; however, His disciples who followed Him and He taught understand what Jesus said in John 8:22-24
…22 So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 23Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”…
The disciples knew, or came to know, that Jesus was talking about the spiritual world of His Father and the savior of their souls. Many others, who heard Him preach, heard his words, but applied them to him being a secular savior who would over throw Roman rule. He denied being this, especially in his trial before being executed.
But these things only crop up in John, which was written after Matthew and Mark. I suspect that only after nearly 100 years did Jesus’ followers conclude that he wasn’t going to come back in their lifetime and rule as King of Israel after all. So they began to reinterpret what were, by now, legends.
