Isnt this such a great example by Jesus Christ to emulate?

Question

It is believed Mary Magdalene may possibly have been the woman caught in adultery, about to be stoned to death, when Jesus Christ intervened and told the crowd, "Let him without sin cast the first stone." Everyone in the crowd dropped their stones. None was without sin. Jesus asked Mary Magdalene where her accusers were. She said they've all gone. Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more."

If you read deeply, it contains Justice, Advice, and Forgiveness coming from humble, relaxed, self corrected and above all knowledgeable being. Interestingly, He did not make an issue out if it. After all he brought a choice; he knew he could only positively influence the world by emulating a superior character and not by controlling others. His credibility was complimented by his actions.

Similarly soon our journey of life will come to an end. All our dreams will be part of the dirt since all will meet death one day. Our opportunity to Love and serve will come to an end. World today needs more courage, love, understanding, tolerance and compassion. As we know, it is better to light a candle then to curse the Darkness. Similarly, it does not matter who we are to the spiritual World. All are welcome, Atheists, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Pagans, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikh or anyone else. How can we play our part? What could be done to help generations to follow? Any ideas! Think twice before you write a thing. Words indeed tell who we are!

Answer 2

This is a Pagan Ritual adopted into the Christian Religion. Just as ancient hunters would eat the heart of a kill or drink the blood of a kill to gain the power of the animal killed, Jesus says eat my flesh and drink my blood so that I may become a part of you. At its most basic level this is ritualistic cannibalism and "sympathetic magic." Sympathetic magic is probably the basis for such notions as karma, synchronicity, eating the heart of a brave but defeated warrior foe, throwing spears at painted animals on cave walls, wearing the reindeer's antlers before the hunt, having rape rituals to increase the fertility of the crops, or taking Holy Communion to infuse the participant with Divinity. Sympathetic magic is surely the basis for homeopathy and remote healing. Anthropologists consider magical thinking a precursor to scientific thinking. It is indicative of a concern with control over nature through understanding cause and effect. The ritual of the last supper was the Christian attempt to "Christianize" ritualistic behavior that had gone on for millinia before the Establishment of the Christian faith. By turning Pagan ritual into Christian ritual the religion endeered itself to the population as a whole. These rituals were in existence long before the Christian faith. As such, it is an ancient ritual based on ignorance whose effects are empirically neglegable but psychologically valueable as an indoctrinating / brainwashing tool of the modern Church.

Answer 4

"Loving of enemies is another dogma of feigned morality, and has beside no meaning....Those who preach the doctrine of loving their enemies are in general the greatest prosecutors, and they act consistently by so doing; for the doctrine is hypocritical, and it is natural that hypocrisy should act the reverse of what it preaches." – Thomas Paine

"The Bible was established altogether by the sword, and that in the worst use of it -- not to terrify but to extirpate." --- Thomas Paine

"What is it the Bible teaches us? -- rape, cruelty, and murder." – Thomas Paine

Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind."
-Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, 1794


Christianity cannot live in peace with any other form of faith. -- Robert Ingersoll

Answer 5

We can start respecting other people's beliefs and stop trying to force everyone to convert to what we think is acceptable. Every religion needs to accept that people have a right to choose who they want to worship and how they want to worship and stop being so presumptuous as to think we are right, no one will know who is right til Armageddon (or whatever end of the world scenario you believe)

You don't know Jesus, Jesus will be back as he said when he ascended into Heaven. What Jesus will do when you returns no one knows. He will be back with his power, and power of words. He cannot emulate the past is my belief
