Did Jesus ever recommend censorship in any form or fashion?

Question

Who are these religious zealots on R/S who try to censor us by deleting our questions and trying to delete our freedom of speech?

Do these religious zealots know how to read the red letters in the Bible; the actual messages of Jesus?

Wow! - people are quoting Paul, and their church doctrines and what was said about Jesus, but not many are quoting Jesus' words. --

Dear Solarius, -- I am proud of you.

Good point "Mirac" - Jesus taught us that if we want to censor someone, we should censor ourself not others. My dad raised us kids with this maxim: "When something goes wrong, If you want to blame someone; blame yourself."

Answer 1

No, I don't feel that Christ supported censorship, and neither do I. I'm a Christian, and I openly support freedom of speech. That includes unpopular speech.

Answer 2

Censorship as we know it has to do with free speech but mostly in the press, in electronic broadcast media, etc. These things were not present in Jesus day. But He did give instructions that would be a form of censorship. Such as not praying loudly in public for show as some religious leaders did and not to swear an oath but just answer yes or no. Also instructions on not using God's name wrongly and
not boasting.

Answer 3

Actually he did without coming out and saying it. A a speakers he expected people to listen and to tell quiet NOW weither that or not is not for me to determine. Also when he was healing the passes he never asked people to hold thier tounges. I guess it would be more respectable to him to censor yourself.

Answer 4

not to the best of my knowledge.

that would be yahoo answers. i think they have an automated system in place to remove questions. also, the traditional reporting method.

these people are either zealots or trolls. probably a combination of both.

i'm sure they have, but by that point, had their own presumptions about the meaning.

Answer 5

You are right, if you would allow I'd like to help you out on this, the bible says JC told us this:

Luke 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Alas it also says:
Matthew 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

So as christians love to keep their eyes they rather have those things removed that are offending their eyes....

How could you mind that?

Answer 6

Yes, he commanded his disciple Timmy to censor the Pharisees.
The said "Verily I say unto you those creeps blah blah blah."

Funny he never said to censor the Romans.

Answer 7

That's funny...I thought only the atheists/evolutionists did that to I D Christians in public school.

Isn't that how censorship got started?

Answer 8

He definately whipped some merchants in the temple before he was hunted down!

Answer 9

i wasnt aware that they were christian.... R/S is run by Britains, who are increasingly being taken over by muslims who seem to believe that it's alright to kill people as logn as it is the muslim cause.... hmmm has a very familiar ring to the christian crusades tho... or just about any other religion that somehow gets lead by a person who goes against its beliefs (so to the catholics, isn't the pope going to go to hell for pretending to be divine?)

Answer 10

You can take anything said by Jesus (assuming that he actually said it) and twist it to fit anything. Sad but true.
