If Jesus had lived in 20th Century United States?

Question

and he came with the same message, and ended up with the same fate,(he probably would) would Christians now wear pendants in the shape of an electric chair?

You might banjaxed, I don't hold a grudge. It's a serious question, I wonder why a symbol of torture has become so revered and it could so easily have been a different instrument of torture. I don't see why we should respect religious view anymore than political or any other view though. ;)

Answer 1

Well I don't think he would be put to death in the 20th century, but rather he would be put in a psycho ward. Perhaps, they would wear pendants with little straitjackets. That's my guess

Answer 2

the US. Democratic status. became the source of the debate at Valley Forge. The founding fathers have been democratic. the folk who needed a republic virtually starved the full American military out to teach their element. Then it became set up as a democracy for the folk and Thomas Jefferson ended up talking a lot approximately it. Then those losers observed as the puratins got here in, representing the republic (enormous agencies). They fought for virtually one hundred years to opposite the form and each and all the equivalent rights stuff. Now you spot it, they nevertheless attempt to make it a nazi or king james state. yet maximum of what they have executed is public. because of the fact of their joker mentality, now many huge financial industry based entities have extra capacity then human beings and rather contradict what u . s . a . stands for. u . s . a . is meant to be a democracy, yet because of corrupt idiots who took unrestrained strikes. some issues like the federal government. even however they seem to be a company. As a ruling physique. it is merely a mish mash of high quality human beings and grimy people who help business enterprise over human beings.

Answer 3

OK I'll have what you're having.

Edit: If you are wondering why the cross is revered, it is a symbol that stands for what Christ went through for his beliefs. It stands for his love of mankind. If he had lived in the USA nothing would have happened since he didn't break any laws. Freedom of speech is not a crime.

Answer 4

No, I don't think we would. Not that it would deminish what he did. I personally don't wear a cross. I don't need a symbol to remind me what Christ did for me almost 2,000 yrs ago. Anyways, if he was to have come in the 20th century, he still would have lived in the middle east and he would have still tried to give his message to the people of Israel. The outcome would be the same, so that redemption could be given to all who hear and believe. Good question though.

Answer 5

In all likelihood he'd have been locked up in a mental institution or given anti-psychotic medications.

We know better than the people who lived a couple of thousand years ago what religious visions actually are.

Which means that he probably wouldn't have founded a large religion.

Answer 6

There is no way that Jesus could have been crucified in the 20th century. God had a time for the sacrifice of Jesus. And that time was fulfilled 2007 years ago. The next time that Jesus comes to earth, will be the end of the world.

Answer 7

I doubt if much would be the same including his fate the probability is one in millions .

Answer 8

In my opinion (and I'm no Holy Roller)...that is just being disrespectful to other peoples religious views



I'm not getting the 10 points....AM I?


Ok , now that you've explained the basis of your question I understand where you're coming from little better

Answer 9

Don't u mean 21st well the world would be a lot better off if he was.

Answer 10

Is that really important? Hopefully the focus would be God's love and redemption.
