Why is Heaven so desirable to so many...

[ding]

Oh---now I understand-----Your sunday school teachers were almost but not
quite correct. THE REALITY is that the temple courtyard was under the
control of the "authorities"-------who at that time were the ROMAN SHILL SADDUCEEAN PRIESTS (whom the Pharisees despised for being roman
shills) and the Romans. (whom the Pharisees despised for being the occupying
power) There is hope that you might come close to understanding the
situation at that time and WHY Jesus and friends despised the MONEY CHANGERS and Caiaphas and Annas

I thought Jesus was pissed off because they the temple into a market. They desecrated the temple. It was supposed to be a place of worship, not commerce. So, Jesus kicked them out.

It was not political, as I understand it, but again. Pagan...

Did my Norse Pagan Sunday school teacher get it wrong?

It is difficult for your sunday school teachers to have understood------there is an ACTUAL HISTORY of that time. The people were LARGELY LITERATE----unlike the ancestors of your sunday school teachers. The fact is that the ROMANS controlled the Temple commerce via their APPOINTED "high priests" who were DESPISED by the PHARISEES who were virtually ALL LITERATE. It is important to understand that the WHOLE purpose of the ROMAN OCCUPATION was economic exploitation. ----your sunday school teachers FORGOT to mention that fact. Jesus---being a Pharisee wanted the roman bastards and their shills OUT----<<<<that is history. The most hated bastard of the roman shills was CAIAPHAS----the character most eager to GET RID OF JESUS. -----you will never get this information from your sunday school teacher------it is written in Aramaic. Christian leaders pretend this history does not exist

That is very interesting. Do you have some source materials I can review? I am always interested in the real history.

a good place to start is Josephus Flavius. A very interesting book-----but not for the weary minded is "Passover Plot"

What are the differences between the Sadducees and Pharisees?

Jesus, A Pharisee?

Sorry bout that,


!. Jesus wasn't involved with the religious proceedings at the Jewish Temple Mount at ALL.
2. Jesus slightly tried to get some select Jews to recognize him as GOD, some did, likely less than 200 souls.
3. God who is Jesus, doesn't need your recognition.
4. His mission was only ONE THING.
5. That was the main focus, having known what would happen he must be quite and allow it for the mission. (Sheep to the slaughter) (Must remain quite) say nothing to stop it, he could of simply disappeared, he can walk on water, walk through walls, vanish while other religious people try to stone him.
6. When anyone here can do these things, until then I will hold on to my lack of faith in what your saying.
7. I will wait,....a very long time for you to out do God...waiting.

the FUNNY line of the MONTH >>>
"The differences between the Pharisees and the Sadducees are known to us through a couple of passages of Scripture"
note, in THIS context "scripture" means "new testament" IN FACT---the differences between the sadducees and Pharisees is WELL KNOWN thru the writings from those times that DO NOT APPEAR IN THE NT. The ONE issue that ding gets right is the fact that the SADDUCEES kissed roman ass

Heaven is so desirable to people because their lives are shit.

Life is amazing. We have hit the cosmic lottery. People who focus on the destination instead of the journey miss out on a lot of good stuff. Better to live in the present than to live in the past or the future.

People's journey can be shit that's why they cling to heaven. Like you.

I would say that people that make that argument are speaking from first hand experience.

I on the other hand recognize that even the most challenging life is still an amazing gift because it is so rare and because there is good that outweighs the bad.

You on the other hand are arguing that life holds no joy at all.

Sorry bout that,


1. But when a person tries to push Jesus down into a pigeon hole what always happens, and I mean always, that person gets pushed down a pigeon hole.
2. One reaps, what one sows.
3. That will never change.
4. You are human who is reading this, you have limitations, time is not your friend, it will leave you, make sure when that happens and it will, you got it right, your choice.
5. Live long and have trust in Jesus.

you are referring to a designation no longer in use. ~ 2000 years ago---the person called "JESUS" today---was a Pharisee jew. Pontius Pilate crucified
Pharisee jews by the thousands.
Caiphas was a despised roman appointee to the position of high priest----he hated Pharisees too. The Pharisees were despised by the Romans most vigorously by the ROMANS OF THE FIRST REICH including the emperor--Constantine The emperor of the THIRD REICH identified modern jews with the Pharisees as do you and most
catechism whores and several popes.
The emperor of the third reich was Adolf Hitler. Remember ? he said so----
HEIL HITLER

Jesus had more run-ins with the Pharisees than with the Sadducees, because of the former’s giving preeminence to oral tradition.

“You ignore God’s law and substitute your own tradition,” Jesus told them (Mark 7:8, NLT; see also Matthew 9:14; 15:1–9; 23:5, 16, 23, Mark 7:1–23; and Luke 11:42 ). Because the Sadducees were often more concerned with politics than religion, they ignored Jesus until they began to fear He might bring unwanted Roman attention and upset the status quo. It was at that point that the Sadducees and Pharisees set aside their differences, united, and conspired to put Christ to death (John 11:48–50; Mark 14:53; 15:1).

The Sadducees as a group ceased to exist after the destruction of Jerusalem, but the Pharisees’ legacy lived on. In fact, the Pharisees were responsible for the compilation of the Mishnah, an important document with reference to the continuation of Judaism beyond the destruction of the temple. In this way the Pharisees laid the groundwork for modern-day Rabbinic Judaism. Hence you are a Pharisees.

wrong again-----Sadducees and Pharisees never "set aside their differences"---you have INVENTED history. "RUN INS WITH PHARISEES"? when? another imaginary piece of roman shit. LOL @ "mark and matthew"----<<< both toeing the ROMAN PARTY LINE after the fact ROFLMAO @ "john"
