Reasons for being Christians?

[Judean Rebel]

Just wonderd...
Why are you all Christians?

[Kiljan Arslan]

Uh duh Of course he was Jew!

[Miraj]

Lol. Trying to rub it in, eh?

[Rush Limbaugh]

Why are you all Christians?

They are probably christians for the same reason you are a Jew. Most were born that way. What does that have to with the name of this topic. All Christians know Jesus was a Jew.

[Gary88]

christians believe that Jesus was God and that he carried on the message beyond the Old Testament

Jews think, wtf?

[Rhinosaur]

Ugh, I feel so dirty now. Why has no one informed me of this sooner??!?!?

[Gary88]

guys i think he realises you all know, he's just asking the question

[Rush Limbaugh]

I find the name of the topic funny considering who posted it

Our Lord Jesus was Jew.

I doubt he is your lord.

Well if you know Kabala, if you understand true relegion, not the name, the way. Jesus is one of the lords, and Jesus did become god, he is not god caus god is everything no man can be god only with him.

Our Lord Jesus was Jew.

And?

It has little to do with His Jewishness, that is for sure. The message is universal. Wouldn't matter if He was an Aztec, frankly, although I doubt His message would have been the same if that was the case.

[Kiljan Arslan]

Uf he'd been an aztec ithe mesasage would have been "capture as many of they enemy to bring to the sacrificial rock"

[Miraj]

Hmm, Kabala, thats the religion Madonna founded.. right?

What does that have to do with Jesus being the Lord of the Jews. The only Jews he was Lord of were those who became Christians.

One of them.

[Chaigidel]

no but it was said that one would come and destroy the sacred name called kabala-- and he did come in the form of a market fixated jew who sold the mysticism as party favors, may he suffer eternally.

the kabala is a powerful tool I would advise anyone to study it, especially since I havent heard **** about it in the news--- but alot of the stranger parts of the "formation" of the universe is described in it by way of the Sephir Yetzirah--- which tells of the 4 voids, the folding of the tapestry of thought, and the shattering of the first vessels of light ( light was void made seen by the first vessel which we call god--- hence god is only the throne of the 3 voids -- triune revealed in truth.


and it was according to the rosicrucians that jesus actually became god, but was a man, he became god by way of the ritual of the crucifixtion which propelled him into eternal suffering causing the rose to bloom--- constriction = expansion -- the rose and the cross are what that imagery is about---- the flower of his suffering in union with god; when the "flower" bloomed from the union of eternal damnation for both god and jesus-- you see jesus suffers even now for all sins, he is never able to leave the suffering because he is god, and to be god is only pain, endless pain-- we are blessed to be free from gods fate. so to speak there are people who think that there are secret paths to the power of god, and that it can be taken even, or like jesus-- you can become it entire.

[Thanatos]

Wait, really?

Jesus was Jewish?!

Oh man, now I gotta think everything all over again! [/sarcasm]

Jesus said in Matthew I believe that he did not come to the Gentiles, but came for the Jews only. However, there has been a lot of debate around this.

But also in Matthew, Jesus also said to the Roman Centurion (a gentile obviously) that he was going to heaven for his faith. He even went so far as to say something Anti-Semitic. He said something along the lines of "People will come from East and West (refering to Gentiles) and come and sit at the Table of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But the Children of the Kingdom (refering to the Jews) will be cast out, and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth". Jesus said this when he was talking with the Roman Centurion who showed him faith.

[Sétanta]

Kabbalah is Scientology for Jews.

Why am I a Christian. I am going to give you a real answer, although I don't know if that is what you were looking for. I am Christian because I know that there is something more to life, and Jesus came to preach about what that thing is. When He was crucified in fulfillment of the Jewish Scriptures and returned to life after death, He proved He was God.

And you know what? Even if He wasn't, I don't care. I'm still going to live my life as a Christian.

[Scorch]

My reasons are the same as Sétanta, and I'm actually going to change the title of this thread to make it something more reflective of the topic title and stop it getting more spammy than it has.

If Judean Rebel doesn't like it how it is, then I may change it back. Just PM me, okay?

[Chaigidel]

well having actually studied the mystic practices of the kabbalah I know that they are almost entirely based on mathematics and not easy to comprehend--- In fact it is recommended that a man live 40 years before being allowed to study it-- this was the old way. hence the destroyer of the name


since the kabbalah is inherently tied into every other mysticism in the world--- its almost a universal mysticism-- the tarot is based on it, the Iching fits into it --- many things that you may not realize actually come from the tree which you discount as scientology for jews.


and on the question--- I think most people are christians because they desire community.--- a belonging like any other person on earth, they seek to be fulfilled in what is "greater" than themselves.
