GOOD Friday

[Weatherman2020]

My favorite song for Good Friday.

The movie Risen is an 11.

So, what do you think happened to the loot?

Most likely, drugs and hookers.

And 2,000 years later they still fear Jesus and feel the need to troll.

Most likely, drugs and hookers.

He drove the sheep and oxen out with the merchants, and told them to take their money. No loot mentioned in the story.

Maybe you should familiarize yourself with the subject before you start blabbing about it.

He (one of the figures used to make the image)was into Lazarus according to Gnostic Texts and NT hints and clues.
Lazarus was a rich boy, so it'a hard to tell who was the hooker, but if he was sleeping with someone for his money, then that makes Jesus the hooker.
Lazarus was the rich naked boy who slept with Jesus & was seen fleeing from his cabin.
Most likely financing the traveling Benny Hinn type scam.

Sources:
A newly translated Gnostic gospel, entitled The Secret Book of Judas of Kerioth, According to this seemingly authentic early Cainite-Ophite text, translated from the Coptic by Mohammed al-Murtada and Francis Bendik, said Jesus had an active bisexual love life,including relationswith John, Lazarus and Mary Magdelene.

Also validating that: is
in the missing portions of Mark it shows Jesus sleeping with a naked young rich man, but also the NT validates this:

"...there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold of him: And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked." (Mark 14:51-52). Was this the companion that Luke observed with Jesus inside the garden?

"...he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked on that day..."(Amos 2:16----the Hebrew 'labab' translated 'flee away' here, actually means 'transported with love', and also 'ravished'). Now that certainly fits this episode of the young man fleeing away naked from Jesus outside the garden of Gethsemane.

Who was this young man if not perhaps the rich man whom "Then Jesus beholding him, loved him..."(Mark 10:21). Perhaps it was the rich man Lazarus, of whom "...he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth..."(John 11:11----The Greek 'philos' translated 'friend', also means 'dear' and 'fond of').​

That you would cite such "sources" simply shows your desperation. That is your problem and not mine. That is all the space and energy I'm giving your posts.

I do not fear Jesus. Do you? If so, please explain to the USMB forum why you are so afraid of Jesus.

 

[SweetSue92]

No one has to explain one blessed thing to you.

Well, I feel no urge to troll threads involving other religions beliefs with nonsense, so yes. You do fear Jesus.

 

[Muhammed]

No one has to explain one blessed thing to you.

I never said, or in any way insinuated, that they did in the first place.

It's a rhetorical question. Of course they cannot answer it without delving into supernatural bullshit from make-believe land.

That's the fucking point.

Not so i have great respect for Jesus.

He was the greatest venture capitalist that will ever live. He pitched an idea 2000 years ago and people are still giving billions of dollars a year to his religion.

So angry. Why?

I'm not saying that I'm angry in the first place. I'm sorry if I somehow gave you that impression.

Ummm citing sources is a good thing, otherwise it's mere personal opinions backed by no evidence, sort of like the NT in general, all self testimony without historical evidence nor accuracy. Claiming evidence as a problem shows "your" desperation.

 

[BreezeWood]

So angry. Why?

christians are obsessed with their claims of innocence ...

they use to commit atrocities uninterrupted throughout recorded history - and celebrate as if theirs for the taking.

the true events of liberation theology, self determination they themselves lead - in perpetual crucifixion.

"Innocence"?

That's a good one

If we were so innocent we wouldn't even need Jesus and tomorrow would just be another day.

Sunday is coming...

“He received 39 stripes because 40 was known to kill a man. They wanted him alive. They held handfuls of his beard, and hair and pulled it out by the roots. They wanted him alive. They kicked, punched, and spit on him for hours. Until there wasn't a single spot on his body not covered in blood. They wanted him alive. They shoved a crown of thorns down on his head so harshly it stuck in his skin. They wanted him alive. After hours of being beaten, mocked, whipped, flogged, and tortured they made him walk with a cross. They made him carry it. A rough piece of wood with splinters digging into fresh wounds. They wanted him alive. They wanted him to feel every ounce of pain they could bring. He had to feel it in order to heal us. Crucifixion was historically one of the cruelest most tortured deaths a human could face. Hours upon hours of torture. Torture most of us can not mentally think of because the cruelty isn't normal. It isn't something our minds can comprehend. We celebrate Easter with pastel colors, happy children hunting eggs, and chocolate. Truth is there was absolutely nothing happy about the day Jesus died. It was cruel, bloody, and nasty.
He could have stopped all of it. He could have called every angel in heaven to demolish every person standing and shouting "Crucify Him!" He didn't. He knew in order to have a Sunday you have to have a Friday. He knew in order to have joy you have to carry your cross. He felt everything that day. He felt how your heart broke wide open when you had to watch your baby die. He felt how heavy your life was when you were staring down the barrel of a gun wondering if the man you called husband was going to shoot you. He carried the weight of the burden you have felt since your spouse died and life just doesn't seem right since. On that cross he held the rapist and murderers, the sinner and the saint. He leveled every playing field and said ALL of you are worth it. He knew he had to carry the cross. He never promised the cross you carry in this life would not be heavy. His wasn't. His promise is that Sunday is coming.
No matter how heavy Friday is. Financially, emotionally, mentally, or physically. Friday is heavy. That cross is weighing you down and you are about to crumble under its weight. His promise was simply this. He won't make you carry it alone. What kind of king would step down from his throne for this?
Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God did. For you.
He did every bit of it for you and me. Oh yes it is heavy. So heavy sometimes you do not think you can take one more step. But look up, because Sunday is coming.”

the events of the 1st century liberation theology, self determination were in fact the reiteration of the religion of antiquity for the individual and humanity to accomplish the goal of remission by their own accord.

why they were crucified and cristianity wrote their book 4 centuries latter to make it into their liking and not the heavens. "their need for jesus".

I agree, but about your signature, we might not be celebrating His death exactly, but we're celebrating all this week that Jesus died for us.

That's actually just a link--it's the thread where the quote is found. I didn't write it.
