I don't think the purpose of FR is to give you a platform to preach blasphemy about other peoples' religions, so you don't have a leg to stand on. You can warn me of any and all "penalties" of me not regarding JC as anything but a historical figure, but those penalties are ones proposed by YOUR religion, not mine. I stay in my own lane, and you can stay in yours. Your premise is utterly ridiculous, that I need to believe in your religion and abide by its penalties for not believing in it. I don't need to do anything of the kind, and you can go howl at the moon for all I care. You are bashing your head into a brick wall. I am content in my religion and its beliefs.

***It is good that you recognize that Jesus being God Himself is blasphemy. Because that’s what He was put to death for.
about other peoples’ religions,
***Take it up with the religion moderator if you feel so strongly about it. Perhaps you can maneuver this into being a caucus thread for uncompleted jews.
so you don’t have a leg to stand on.
***Go ahead and push on that leg to see if I stand on it.
You can warn me of any and all “penalties” of me not regarding JC
***Good. Because that’s what I’m doing.
as anything but a historical figure,
***As a historical figure, it is provable that He died claiming to be your [and my] messiah, claiming to be equal with God Himself. If He aint God, He deserved to die for such blasphemy. If He IS God, He was gonna die that day as a voluntary sacrifice for us. Either way, He was gonna die on that cross that day, and that is part of history, as you acknowledge and can no longer hide from.
but those penalties are ones proposed by YOUR religion,
***Hell is in YOUR religion as well, buckaroo.
not mine.
***That would be a religious topic thread all on its own. Feel free to post it.
I stay in my own lane,
***Christ tells us to preach the word to others, so we as obedient christians are staying in His lane.
and you can stay in yours.
***Nope. You can go on feeling uncomfortable because that is what God intended, until you drop the act and repent of your sins before Yahweh.
Your premise is utterly ridiculous,
***Not nearly as ridiculous as you going out of your way to deny provable historicity, and trying to impose your own religious viewpoint on this forum as well as trying to get others to stop preaching the word.
that I need to believe in your religion and abide by its penalties for not believing in it.
***You do. Since you’re being so obstinate about denying it, this conversation is more about lurkers seeing how you handle the historical facts and your blind assertions. But there is always a distinct possibility you will repent and accept Jesus as God Himself, as Messiah, as Lord and Savior. Those guys Jews For Jesus are very effective at reaching jews like you. I’ll pray for you.
I don’t need to do anything of the kind,
***You DO need to, you just don’t know that you need to.
and you can go howl at the moon for all I care.
***Then that means I care more about your blasphemous soul than you care for my supposedly blasphemous soul.
You are bashing your head into a brick wall.
***Pot, meet kettle.
I am content in my religion and its beliefs.
***You won’t be. And if you’re supposedly so content then why does it bother you so much that someone points out Who your messiah is, Who died on the cross for your [and my] sins, Who meets all the prophetic requirements for the son of David, Who will come to claim His rightful throne presumably in Israel? The more you engage on this topic, the more your lies come out into the open.
