A few other things about Jesus:

Jesus says that those who have been less fortunate in this life will have it even worse in the life to come. Mark 4:25

Jesus sends the devils into 2000 pigs, causing them to jump off a cliff and be drowned in the sea. Clearly Jesus could have simply sent the devils out, yet he chose instead to place them into pigs and kill them. This is called animal abuse. Mark 5:12-13

Jesus kills a fig tree for not bearing figs, even though it was out of season. Jesus must not be as smart as Christians would have us believe, for he was retarded enough to do something this silly. You’d think the son of god (god incarnate) would know that trees don’t bear fruit in dry season. Mark 11:13

Luke 12:47 Jesus okays beating slaves.

Sweetie, you can call God anything you like. You can denigrate Him, blaspheme Him, be vulgar about Him, anthing at all.

What you CANNOT do is change Him! Or anything about Him!

You only succeed in making yourself look venal, unintelligent and just plain nasty. The kind of person most people would cross the continent to avoid. If that's your aim, congratulations, you appear to have succeeded.

But if it's not, if you actually have something of substance to say to believers, why oh why can't you at least be civilized and courteous about it? Is that behavior beyond your capacity? Is the vocabulary to use it not within your memory? Or did someone shortcircuit your brain? Did your parents teach you nothing of polite behavior; or of good manners? If not, then shame on them! If so, then shame on YOU!

You need to get some order into your life. If you believe in God, act like it. Jehovah God, Supreme Father would not approve of this kind of talk. Jesus was his Son. Jah told the people after his baptism, "this is my son, in whom i am well pleased"....
thats good enough for me. I can ask these kinds of questions when i get up there....please dont let these kinds of question take you away from where you need to be.
Focus...on the end goal...your eternal life after death.
burning in the lake of fire does not sound like a good time?
Focus.....on the end goal of every human being....
death, then the judgement.
heaven or hell.....
Focus.

About the pigs:
Jesus was Jewish. Pigs aint Kosher! Thats why at the Wedding at Cannan he fed them with fish, which for the most part are Kosher.

The Cast-Out Demons Who Entered Swine.__ No fault can be found with Jesus for allowing the demons to enter the swine, especially since certain unstated factors may very well have been involved, such as whether the owners of the swine were Jews, thus being guilty of disrespect for the Law. It was, of course, not required that Jesus exercise foreknowledge as to what the demons would do once they entered the unclean animals. And the demons may have wanted to take possession of the swine in order to derive therefrom some unnatural sadistic pleasure. Also, it might reasonably be argued that a man is worth more than a herd of swine. (Mt 12:12) Furthermore, all animals actually belong to God by reason of his Creatorship, and thus Jesus as God’s representative had every right to permit the demons to take possession of the herd of swine. (Ps 50:10; Joh 7:29) The demons’ entering the swine manifested their ouster from the men in a very forceful way, thus also making very apparent to observers the harm that came to creatures of flesh that became demon possessed. It demonstrated for such human observers both Jesus’ power over the demons and demonic power over fleshly creatures. All of this may have suited Jesus’ purpose and may explain why he allowed the unclean spirits to enter the swine.

Regarding the fig tree__ was Jesus taking spite out on an unintelligent tree? No, but he was using that barren fig tree as an illustration. That fig tree pictured the nation of Israel to which God had sent his Son to gather fruitage in the form of supporters of the true Messiah or Christ. When, under the leadership of its high priest and other religious guides, the nation rejected Jesus as the representative of God’s kingdom, the several hundred individuals that did accept him were as nothing. Like a taxable tree cumbering the ground, that symbolic fig tree deserved to be cut down, for it came under God’s curse. (Compare Deuteronomy 28:15-68.) Fifty-one days after Jesus Christ was killed as though a false Messiah, the Israelite “fig tree” was cut down, for God then brought forth a new nation, Christian Israel, spiritual Israel, to produce Kingdom fruitage. (Matt. 21:43; 1 Pet. 2:9; Gal. 6:16; Jas. 1:1) The cut-down “fig tree” was consigned to the fire at Jerusalem’s destruction in 70 C.E.

Regarding Luke 12:47__Then Peter said: “Lord, are you saying this illustration to us or also to all?” And the Lord said: “Who really is the faithful steward, the discreet one, whom his master will appoint over his body of attendants to keep giving them their measure of food supplies at the proper time? Happy is that slave, if his master on arriving finds him doing so! I tell YOU truthfully, He will appoint him over all his belongings. But if ever that slave should say in his heart, ‘My master delays coming,’ and should start to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, the master of that slave will come on a day that he is not expecting [him] and in an hour that he does not know, and he will punish him with the greatest severity and assign him a part with the unfaithful ones. Then that slave that understood the will of his master but did not get ready or do in line with his will will be beaten with many strokes. But the one that did not understand and so did things deserving of strokes will be beaten with few. Indeed, everyone to whom much was given, much will be demanded of him; and the one whom people put in charge of much, they will demand more than usual of him." __Jesus was using an illustration when he spoke to his apostles.

Regarding Mark 4:25__If we measure out to Jesus little interest and attention, we cannot expect to get much from him, at least from what he is saying for our guidance, for our benefit. But if we show that we do appreciate him as our Teacher and we deal out to him our fullest measure of attention, then he will respond by giving us a comparative amount of information and enlightenment. In this regard, however, he is not concerned with just evening up things and balancing accounts. Rather, in his generosity and according to his ability, he will favor us with more than we expected. Thus we are enriched and are more able to share with others our own abundance, imparting to them the understanding of things.

Dude, get a life. Have you never heard of freedom of religion. Stop trying to act like a big man and prove something you have no clue about. Let people believe what they want and you believe what you want. We don't want to hear your stupid, ignorant and totally bogus words on something that you have no clue about.
