May God be with you all.
I welcome your words and congratulate you for your thoughts Ben. I am a Catholic born and still be one 50 year after. But you said that you believe in not more than 20% of the NT. So you supposedly is more Christian than myself. The same I can say about the OT. I know have so much infiltration on it’s Scripture that you also can link it to the prejudice and vanity of it’s writers. If for to be a Jew or a Christian you need to believe in 100% of which is written, then I would be none of these.
What you said about the OT that the Virgin in this Scripture is Israel, sometimes is Jerusalem, is also what I understood is written in there. Also when the Prophets talk about the Messiah they sure are nothing talking about Jesus. It is a distortion introduced by the Gospel’s authors for make up a Justification of the teachings of Jesus. They thought it were necessary for to validate what Jesus said in front of the others Jews views. Excuse me for say that in a Catholic dominion, they put trash as ornament of what was pure gold and now some Christians do not know how to separate one of the other.
The problem with your theory is that, you are making your case in suppositions and not evidences. If you want know what really bad Jesus made you can read in the Gospel of St John. It is the chapter 7. Take a look on everything else later please. At the Knowledge Concerning God we don’t say that read these or that passage because taking passages from various places in the Bible you can apparently justify all of your acts. So for you understand each one one you need to study all. But, for now, I site to you these: “2 Now the Jews’feast of tabernacles was at hand. 3 His brethren therefore said unto him. Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. 4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, show thyself to the world. 5 For neither did his brethren believe in him. 6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. 8 Go ye up unto his feast; I go not up uet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. 9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. 10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. (Know I will skip some verses and put these conclusion). 30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.”
So, those are not words of mine. They came directly from the Gospel of John. And it states that, Jesus lied at least one time. At the same Gospel, chapter 8, verse 44 you can look at what the “annonimous” author John alleged Jesus said about lies.
I am not saying that Jesus is a liar. In theory we have three possible classification of a liar. The fat, the medium and the occasional. Some of us use the occasional lies for protection of the others or of something. In these case he would be protecting his life because his hours was not yet come. But you can put in another theory, that the author was writing not for to narrate one fact but yes for give some understanding on the Theology. In these case, he perceived not he was putting a lie in the mouth of Jesus. So the doctors who came after the author.
The point that we achieve on the Knowledge Concerning God is that, there are not such a thing of not mistakes in the called Sacred Scriptures. If it was the case, in na human tribunal, a Judge could simple dismiss the case invalidating all the Scripture. But at the Tribunal where the Judge, the Jury and the lowers are those that know God Himself would dismiss only what is wrong and save what is right. In another words, dismiss the trash and put in practice the Golden Teachings.
Please, do meditate on those words. May God Bless you all us He always Blessed Me.
 
Agnostics do not honor Jesus. They act like hyenas waiting for you guys to detach Jesus from his People so that they can jump in with their fangs of disrespect. But if you ask me, I don’t blame them, but Christians themselves for leaving Jesus at their mercy.

Ben: :rolleyes:
:rotfl: You didn’t understand a single thing I said did you? Discussion with you is pointless. To you Jesus is dead and will always will be. All you can do is try to tear down our beliefs to make yourself feel better. Don’t fool yourself into thinking I won’t talk to you because your point is so much better than mine, It’s a waste of my time to discuss something with someone who’s mind is made up.
I’ll let my more patient brothers and sisters deal with you. I still don’t appreciate your :rolleyes: sarcasm.

Just one more question before you go. You talk of being not worthy discussing anything with me because I have
my mind made up. Tell me something, do you have your mind made up or not? Why should I set my mind available and not made up while yours is?

You must be kidding! I have discussed religion with Bishops. How do you think you would succeed where they failed? I know you would like to make a Catholic out of me. Guess what? I would like to make a Jew out of you. How do you feel about that? Now, you can go. I’ll stay with those more patient than you.

Ben: 🤷
 
Guess what? I would like to make a Jew out of you.
This is new information.
If you please, do you believe as the Pharisees, the Sadduces, or is there another way for Jews to believe? Is there anything you
hope for in this life, or if you believe in it, the afterlife? Is there
something you would gain by making someone a Jew?
 
Guess what? I would like to make a Jew out of you. How do you feel about that?
So now you finally admit it. This is precisely what I said Ben Masada was here for on my previous account, before I was banned for so-called “Anti-Semitic Rhetoric” by a moderator, for pointing out Ben Masada’s hypocrisy and the evils of the Jewish religion.

I find it extremely odd that on an allegedly Catholic forum, I was banned for defending Jesus and exposing the lies of Ben Esau (Masada) and his religion, while he was allowed to stay and continue his disrespect and blasphemy against Christ and His Church.
 
He should have kept his cool in the temple, and not throw tables around and make a scene in regard to the money changers. And cursed a poor defenseless fig tree. Temper temper.
 
May God be with you all.
Maybe my introduction to these forum were kind of abrupt. When I read what I wrote I saw more than one meaning but it was accidental. Basically what I was trying to say is that, we can not look at ourselves as the mirror for the rest of the world. We must look the others as our complements.
The errors in the Torah are still there. The little lie attributed to Jesus still in the Gospel of John, 7. To be Jew as the ancient Jew were is not the point. To be a Christian as taught by Paul is pointless. When a Jew talk to a Christian they better learn from each other for the Jew be a better Jew and the Christian be a better Christian. Is pointless as aways were to try to be the conqueror on each other.
When we reach the religious evolution the perfect Jew and the perfect Christian will be the same on God’s Sight. And it will be valid to all other denomination.
God Bless all.
 
My dear NotWorthy, allow me to correct two small mistakes of yours. If you are thinking that Jesus was the only one to be scourged before crucifixion, read John 19:1. To scourge one before crucifixion was a Roman policy with the purpose to break any disposition to resistence. The second mistake is that the Romans did not give a damn how long the Jews stayed on the crosses before they died. The leg-breaking business was not Roman but Jewish and only on Fridays because
they didn’t want them hanging on the crosses during the hours of the Sabbath. Therefore, the interest was of the Jewish authorities
that the crucified were dead by sundown. Thanks God, Joseph was fast enough before the Jewish leg-breakers arrived. And before you think of the spear-piecing, don’t even try it because it never happened.

Ben: 😊
Thanks for the irrelevant corrections and especially for the re-write of the Gospel of John.

I guess you would know 2000 years later better than the only Apostle who was an eye-witness. I guess because he was 80 years or so old when he wrote it, that makes him too senile to write the truth?
 
I was troubled by this passage until I heard a priest explain it in a homily recently. According to this priest, Jesus was using this situation to teach his disciples a lesson on the absurdity of prejudice and bias. He never considered her to be a dog or less of a person than the Jews. He feigned bigotry to demonstrate its ugliness and then went on to show who he was really sent for–not people bound to God on the basis of their ethnic heritage but on the basis of their faith.
In the case Ben Masada is correct. Does not matter what the writer was thinking do great discribing pretending something. In a while “Jesus” was causing great pain to the woman which to us is forbade. It is one of the many passages that indictely statutes that, Jesus is not God.

So if the priest used the words “feigned bigotry” which the Webster’s II define as, gave a false appearance of one fanatically devoted to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and intolerant of those who differ, he was thinking in fix something but made it worse.

May the peace be with us all.

Huh?

Irrelevant! Does it mean you don’t believe what I said? Have you forgotten I am Jewish. I think I am supposed to know a little better.

Now, let me tell you something about John that you might only
suspect but blind faith won’t let you face the Truth. John never wrote the fourth gospel. John would never write a chapter like chapter 8. That gospel was written by a Gentile disciple of Paul.
Besides, none of the writings of the Nazarenes was approved into
the Canon of the NT by the Fathers of the Church in the year 327 CE due to their controversial character vis-a-vis the writings of Paul. Why don’t you go to a Library and pick up the Catholic Encyclopedia and read the section on the NT. You’ll return agreeing with me on 😊 a few things that you can’t now.

Ben: 👍

Valmabar, Shalom to you from Yerushalaim for your words of Wisdom.

Easy Ben. I didn’t say “Incorrect”, I said “irrelevant”.
Your two irrelevant corrections were:
a) Its not important that Jesus was not the first Crucified Person to be scourged. I merely stated the scourging alone killed people. This would mean that Jesus was approaching death long before he was nailed to the cross.
b) Its not important that it was the Jews who wanted Jesus down before the Sabbath and not the Romans. The point was, the Romans wanted them dead before they could be brought down off the cross. Who cares the reasoning behind their desire to get Jesus down so quickly. It’s irrelevant.

Ben, you are so far off the mark, that I could care less to follow up on this point. You’ve re-written so much of the Bible just to conform to your warped opinion.

If I don’t share you opinion, it HAS to be because I’m anti-Semitic.

You live in your own world, Ben, and I’m just renting space.
 
He should have kept his cool in the temple, and not throw tables around and make a scene in regard to the money changers. And cursed a poor defenseless fig tree. Temper temper.

Temper! Jesus giving vent to his temper! Do you know what you have just compared him to? One of those angry gods of the Olympian Pantheon of Greece.

Ben: :confused:

Oh, there you are. Interesting that you call me Ben Esau without even understanding what you are talking about. Esau was a Gentile and I am a Jew. Since you are the one who is a Gentile, it fits much better that you be the one. But I don’t care. A Jew can take more than that. Look at Jesus! As he forgave those who didn’t know what they were doing, I equally forgive you.

What about your intention to make a Catholic out of me or mine to make a Jew out of you? Is it a crime? I have visited another Catholic site here whose declared aim is to evangelize the Jews.
Very noble aim. Your reaction to my statement is too hypocritical.
Deep down, to evangelize me is all that you are at, and both of us
know it very well.

Sorry that you had to be disciplined. But I don’t wonder; you behave too hostile in religious disputes.

Ben: 😊
 
Easy Ben. I didn’t say “Incorrect”, I said “irrelevant”.
Your two irrelevant corrections were:
a) Its not important that Jesus was not the first Crucified Person to be scourged. I merely stated the scourging alone killed people.

Ben: Nevertheless, after scourging and crucifixion some Jews would remain alive on the cross for up to four days.

This would mean that Jesus was approaching death long before he was nailed to the cross.
b) Its not important that it was the Jews who wanted Jesus down before the Sabbath and not the Romans. The point was, the Romans wanted them dead before they could be brought down off the cross. Who cares the reasoning behind their desire to get Jesus down so quickly. It’s irrelevant.

Ben: You have scored a good point here. I understand your reasoning.

Ben, you are so far off the mark, that I could care less to follow up on this point. You’ve re-written so much of the Bible just to conform to your warped opinion.

Ben: No re-writing. I am just inserting some logic into so much confusion.

If I don’t share you opinion, it HAS to be because I’m anti-Semitic.

Ben: That’s absolutely not true. You can perfectly disagree with me. Just don’t falsely accuse the Jews of having done something that they didn’t. Even Pope John 23rd. asked publicly the Jews for forgiveness for those fase accusations that the Jews had killed Jesus.

You live in your own world, Ben, and I’m just renting space.

Ben: That’s interesting that you have used that metaphor. And you are not too far from the Truth. The world belongs to God, but He left us, the Jews, as the guarantors that you, the Gentiles enjoy free rent.

Ben: 👍
 
This is new information.:
If you please, do you believe as the Pharisees, the Sadduces, or is there another way for Jews to believe?

Ben: I am of those who believe according to Prophet Isaiah. You must agree with me that the Suffering Servant
of Isaiah 53 is the Messiah, don’t you? I believe so. Now, if you read Isaiah 41:8,9; 44:1,2,21; 45:4, you will see that Isaiah indentifies that Servant with Israel by name. Therefore, I do believe
that Israel is the Messiah.

Is there anIything you hope for in this life, or if you believe in it, the afterlife?

Ben: My hope in this life is to live well and make it easier for others to do the same. I don’t believe in the afterlife. The bible says there isn’t any. And that’s good because belief in afterlife makes faith conditional.

Is there something you would gain by making someone a Jew?

Ben: Most definitely! Salvation from the ignorance of superstitions into the joy of the knowledge of God.
Don’t forget that to the Samaritan woman, Jesus said that salvation is from the Jews. (John 4:22)

Ben: 👍

 
How’s that going for you? Any luck yet?

I am glad you asked. Five former Gentiles have
converted. Two got married and each one has two children. It means the Almighty has enriched the Faith of Jesus, which was
Judaism, with nine precious souls as a result of my work. In addition, two former Jews who had embraced Christianity through
“Jews-for-Jesus” have returned to Judaism. Isn’t it wonderful?

Ben: 👍
