The posters seem to be awestruck by the fact that one of the long line of Jews claiming to be their Messiah died, almost unknown, around 33 C.E. In case these folks haven't thought about it...EVERYBODY who is dead ALSO died! And a whole lot of those expirings were every bit as painful as the one that they are so amazed by.

The amazing thing is that He chose to die in order to do good for people who don't deserve it. And the really amazing thing is that Jesus, unlike Franco, is not still dead. Instead, the tomb is still empty.

Science, common sense, and the ability to think rationally should tell each of you surviving Northern Europeans that you owe one heck of a lot more to the pains of those, your REAL ancestral mothers, who lived noble lives steeped in their race's traditions of honor, common sense, hard work, love of beauty and of nature, than to a zealot from another race who didn't know how to write.

Jesus most certainly could write, and racialism is a cosmic dead-end. So your progenitors were white. What good does that do you? Before the righteous God, what possible difference can the family tree of a sinner make?

Wouldn't it have been considerate of God/Jesus/Yahweh/Holy Ghost to have jotted down a few lines, definitively settling your theological disputes?

Well, He did.

But...it's never too late (except for all the billions of people who have already died without ever having heard the name "Jesus")...God/Jesus/Yahweh/Holy Ghost could write it all down RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE! Yes, right on this thread. Bud, if you're listening, get yourself a user name, log on, and lay it out for us. I'll hit refresh in a few minutes so I don't miss any of it.

It's already online, here.

Well, no He did not. The bible is based on scriptures that were originally written (the earliest) 40 years after his death. The bible itself did not take shape until some 400 years later. So no, Jesus did not write out scriptures of which Christianity is based on...other people did. How accurate they were in recording facts will always be open to dispute.
