This was witnessed, confirmed and written about by many unconnected people, who were so motivated by Jesus, they not only wrote separately and their writings conform to eachother.

He was also the only one predicted hundreds and thousands of years before he appeared.

A lot of the messiahs you're thinking of were political messiahs, opponents that Rome had to eliminate. Their goals were to wake the Jews into resistance and save them from Rome. Jesus was about saving people spiritually no matter if they remained under rome. You need to look up the original meaning of the word Messiah.


Not exactly true. Osiris was resurrected. So was Zalmoxis. Odin was hung from the world tree, Yggdrasil, while pierced by his own spear for nine days and nights, in order to learn the wisdom that would give him power in the nine worlds. And then there's Orpheus, who traveled to the Underworld in order to retrieve his dead wife, and he came back out without any harm coming to him (although he didn't get his wife). There are plenty more, but too many to list here.

Why are any of them less worthy of worship than Jesus? I'm sure there are an equal number of witnessed and confirmed accounts written about Odin's hanging from Yggdrassil. What's the difference here?

Yeah I wonder why Junior seeks to deceive people. Not very Christian.


I thought Junior was Julius ...

and rapier was dead after killing himself in his hogwon


Right. Junior took a small detour as Julius. Not sure why he abandoned the Julius project so soon.

On the contrary....you make me feel pretty gratified in myself when I consider the fact that when I'm so obviously not as successful as yourself I still dont feel the need to get my rocks of by trolling on a forum populated by posters 1000's of miles from where I currently live and beating an issue that no one cares anything about (besides you) to death.

Why? He can just accept Jesus as his saviour on his death bed and get to live another life, for eternity, in heaven. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

Oh NO! NOT THE DREADED KILL FILE?!?!?!?

Please tell me it isn't so?

"Say's a fellow Daves Poster"??

Wait a minute.....so could you be classifying ALL of us including yourself (since you are a former expat) as a less than hip individuals? That's in stark contrast to the successful, debonaire personage you've led us all to believe.

"Little man" Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing
As you said.....coming from a fellow Dave's poster Laughing Laughing Laughing

You are a profound insult to the intelligence and integrity of people in Canada, Korea, and elsewhere who post on this board for reasons other than self mastrubatory gratification.

Welcome to my jackass troll file loser.

Remember that great line in Jesus Christ Superstar when Pilate said "You Jews send us messiahs by the sack-full!"

If you want to believe that Jesus wasn't anything more than that then fine. It's your perogative. What perplexes me is mm2's handjob obsession with christians. And like anything he rants about from the economy to religion it all comes off like he's arguing with himself more than anyone else. Or he's simply a whacked troll who can't find anything more constructive to do in Canada. But wait, there's supposed to be that 6 figure job.....

The man Iesus was executed as a seditionist. Nothing more.

I too have a masturbatory hard-on for Christianity and religion. Though I'm not Canadian and the only six figures I ever see is my star-wars collection. Until someone can show me a use for the internet other than masturbation and slating religion I'll keep the tissues within arms reach.
