I refuse to accept Jesus as anything other than a 2,000 year old dead Hebrew?

Question

No one can prove to me that G-d says anything about Jews going to some imaginary hell for not accepting superhero Jeezis. Why are christians so freeaking pompous as to think that their made-up crap is the only way?

Answer 1

Its just another way employed by church to convert jews to christianity. Fearing going to hell, some weak-minded people may change religion.Thats the only explanation
No one goes to hell just 4 not accepting a person. I agree with you.
If some one wud, I wud b the 1st one in queue !

Answer 2

Pompous? Believe me, I am nothing of the sort. I am only going to be spared God's wrath by his continuing mercy. But if I believe something is true, I cannot go against my conviction. Truth is not relative, despite what so many want to think out there.

Not just Jews going to hell. Nowhere is that said.

God said people are going to hell in the Bible--New Testament.

Look--the point here really is that you don't like what the New Testament says because it doesn't paint a very pretty picture from where you stand. Therefore, you simply seem to have conveniently decided that it mustn't be true. That's a lot more pompous of a position than I'm taking, if you ask me.

Answer 3

1. Not all do. Just the vocal ones.

2. You know, I am not a Jewish person; but I am constantly offended on behalf of Jewish people when non-Jewish people
makes lousy remarks, are disrespectful, contemptuous, etc. Some people who started out being raised in the Christian faith may have abandoned their childhood religion but tend to keep the nicer, common-sense principles they learned. Those principles include respecting and being sensitive to other people's beliefs. You don't have to buy any of it, but you can be respectful to those who think differently than you.

I know what you mean about many Christians being pompous, but that's not all of them. Suppose Jesus was just someone who wanted to teach some kind of peaceful behavior, kindness, etc. at a time when there was so much barbarism. Doesn't such a person deserve a little respect if for nothing other than trying to make people be more decent to each other?

If there's such a thing as hell after this life, God probably wouldn't send anyone there who - regardless of his religion or even lack of it - made the best effort to do his best here and maybe try to figure out some form of a faith. I would imagine that what God would frown on would be attacking anyone for his religion or lack of it. Maybe, too, if hell is a state of mind people who have some bitter, aggressive, detesting of others who believe differently probably do live in a hell of an angry and bitter spirit that makes them hate their fellow human beings.

3. I don't mean to come across as "pompous" (that's how people come across when they point out that someone else has acted in an unnecessarily aggressive way), but maybe if more non-Christians engaged in intelligent, calm, and rational discussion about their beliefs rather than come across like verbal barbarians then the lopsided discourse might level off some, and maybe there would just in general be a better balance of views.

Answer 4

You have every right to feel how you feel, and express yourself. I think the Jesus referred to in the Bible was a human leader of men, (and women) and had a human mom and dad, though he was illigitimate, so the family stuck with the 'son of God' story. Back in those days there wasn't much excitement or gossip going around, so this flew way big in the neighborhood. When he, Jesus, years later became a leader, then they kind of made up his past, and did it so that he was great, and above all, because the weak minds and the need for a common religeon was at stake. The many 'books' of the Bible consists of many stories of the iminaginations of the folks that lived in those boring days, and I commend their writing skills, but I also acknowledge that the fiction was of Academy Award qualities of today's writings.

Answer 5

If you refused to believe in gravity and jumped off of a tall building,
You would still splatter all over the ground.

So likewise, If you refuse to believe in Jesus, The way, the Truth and The Life,
You are believing in The Wrong Way, The Lies of the Lier and The Death that is worse than Death.

Answer 6

during the Enlightenment era, the psychological flow common as Rationalism swept during Europe. This led many to interpret the Scriptures exterior the coaching authority of the Church. Martin Luther furthered this together with his novel theology of Sola scriptura (scripture on my own).This further approximately non-public judgment theology and has given upward push to the 30,000 diverse Protestant denominations. The Church emphasised that the Scriptures could be study in easy of the apostolic custom that replaced into exceeded down during the a protracted time. As Saint Peter writes in his epistle, Scripture isn't a count of private interpretation. It hence could recommend that it rather is a controversy of public interpretation, and that's the translation of the Church. The Church has continually inspired interpreting the Scriptures. in actuality, the Catholic Church is the guy who first translated the Scriptures into the vernacular. Why? via fact she needed the Scriptures to be obtainable to as many human beings as feasible. Protestants don’t often communicate approximately this history, do they?! word additionally that Catholics get greater Scripture than the different Christian faith. We actually study the entire Bible each and every 3 years during the Mass. The Catholic Church is the Church Christ outfitted upon Peter and the apostles.

You can pretend gravity doesn't exist and then test your theory by jumping off a roof you will fid out quickly that you are wrong. You can deny and refuse Jesus but when you stand before God on judgment day all your blasphemies will come back on you.
