Religious Studies Professor Tweets Plan to Go Back in Time to Kill Jesus
BIN ^ | 8/7/2020 | Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz

Posted on 08/08/2020 9:01:22 AM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

Timothy Snediker, a PhD student in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Santa Barbara California, made a deeply disturbing Twitter post last week. Andrew Trask queried, “If you were dropped 2000 years back in time with nothing but the knowledge you have now- what would you do?” Snediker replied, “Easy. I would find and assassinate Jesus of Nazareth.”

He added, “Theologically speaking, it would be really important to get him before his calling and ministry begins, so that gives me roughly a decade to make it to Palestine, locate the man and make my move.”

Despite his many years of education, Snediker would be hard-pressed to find “Palestine” 2,000 years ago, or at any other point in history. To carry out his horrifying plan, Snediker would have had to ask for directions to Bethlehem in Judea. Even more perplexing was that many of the negative responses were anti-Semitic in nature, wrongly assuming that Snediker was Jewish.

“Timothy Snediker, a PhD student in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Santa Barbara California”

So is he studying to become a pastor in the church of Satan?

My question exactly. Why is a post-modern queer a PhD student in “religious studies” in the first place?

He shouldn’t worry since Yeshua will be ignoring him at the Final Judgment.

If he wasnt killed himself, or sold into slavery before he even got to his destination, Jesus would have cured his anal fissures and warts, and straightened out his limp wrists, and the profether would have realized the error of his ways.

There is a book out there about a time time traveler out to kill Mad Moe before Islam becomes a cancer on the world.

Typical Democrat.

We have yet to grasp just how truly evil Democrats have become.

If you have a kid that was raised a Christian and came back from college as anti-Christian, this is why. You have people in college like this that are deforming young minds.

Yes. The Gospel of Matthew is highly political. Its story of man’s struggle against a corrupt human government and society. Chapter 1, Jesus is the Christ. Chapter 2, corrupt government attempts to kill him. It doesn’t get more explicit than that

Too late. It was already attempted.

Luke 4:28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.

Many tried to "assassinate" Our Lord before His Ministry.

Herod cast a very wide net, but Angels in dream beat the transportation and communication of those times.

Numerous times the Pharisees tried to get a hold of him, only for Our Lord to slip through the crowd undetected. (e.g. John 8:59, 10:39; Luke 4:28-30)

Our Lord lays down His Own Life ... on His terms. No one does it for him.

True during Jesus's time, but Hadrian renamed the province of Judea "Syria Palestina" about 100 years later, probably to wipe out its association with the Jews.

Because, in the swirling mass of confusion that is the leftist mind, White=Christian=Bad.

Of course, “time travel” is impossible, and this just shows hatred on his part.
