Pharisee n.

1. A member of an ancient Jewish sect that emphasized strict interpretation and observance of the Mosaic law in both its oral and written form.
2. A hypocritically self-righteous person.

Why on earth would anyone hate Pharasee ? that seems an absurd statement, or are you talking about the times that Jesusgod was alleged to have lived ?

Did you see what a pharisee was? Did you only focus on the part about the Jewish sect?

It is the people who have the strict interpretation of the bible, and the hypocrisy it brings that people are against, not Jesus.

The church going Christians of today are the modern pharisees. Just go ahead and look in the bible, these were the people who killed Jesus. They would cite the bible directly to Jesus, but never understand it. They were the people who killed Jesus. Called them hypocrites.

What does the church/society do today to people who teach what Jesus taught? The church would kill Jesus if he came back today and gathered a follow, same as back then. Because he didn't speak in their favor then, and he wouldn't be speaking in their favor now either.

And these are the people you dislike as well - something you have in common with Jesus, go figure. As it turns out, ignorance is not what Jesus is about.

People hate Jesus because of what people have done in his name.

Yep, something he specifically warns about too.

Matthew 7:

21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

iniquity means sin btw.

Yeah, but people who have been at the recieving end of it all from the Inquisition's witch hunts to the crusades, people who see children of Jehovah's Witnesses not being allowed blood transfusions so they die, or people who see the paedophilia rampant amongst priests, do you really think they give an eff about what Jesus says about it, he set it all into motion. It is arguable that that is looking at the bottle half empty, but if they are, his words are really not much solace.

The point they are trying to make is that People hate hypocrit's who are religious zealots.

Jesus is cool.... Christians tend to be amazingly ignorant of Jesus these days.

The church is pretty evil. They do not represent Jesus, they merely try to replace Jesus. No, they do not care at all about what he says.

You then, seeing the evil they do however - do not have to follow it. If you seek truth, and if you live by the truth then you have done your part.

I can't blame people for not embracing the idol of Jesus in light of what has been done in his name. I myself do not put much importance in the idol either. But I do know the words he spoke were truth on a level of intelligence that is beyond the majority of the population.

You can see the church rounds up ignorant people to lead them in directions away from the things Jesus did. Would it be very wise of you, knowing they do not represent Jesus, to turn your back away from the truth he spoke as well?

I was pretty much in the same place you are. I rejected christianity when I was younger, because all I ever saw really was what people did in his name. How in the world can THAT be considered a reflection of god? I think not.

You have to look at the understanding Jesus is trying to give, rather than just the words itself. Otherwise, it's like bringing a bowl of milk to a cat, and instead of the cat drinking the milk, it just licks the bowl.

Actually, Torah is pretty clear about the Messiah requirements. Universal peace and knowledge of G-d should theoretically spring into being, wars will cease, etc.

Torah also talks in kind of a round-about way of the kind of leader the Messiah will be. 'Course, the big thing is that Torah in no way, shape, or form, teaches that the Messiah will be divine. He (or she, frankly) will be a spiritual/political leader that will arise AS the messianic age emerges. Again, Torah's fairly clear on that.

Which, of course, leads us back to the age-old question; why did the Jews reject Jesus? Answer: Jesus fulfilled one, count 'em, one of the prerequisites of Messiahship. He was Jewish. And that's it.

If you ask me, all the New Testament proves is that it was written by Gentiles with just enough Hebrew and Aramaic under their belts so as to be dangerous. And boy howdy, have they been dangerous...

I dont HATE jesus i laugh at christianity thogh according to the christain book.

1 any gay should be killed. and u go to hell

2 if u were wool and leather together u go to hell.

3 if u dont read the same book u go to hell.

4 if u worship another god u go to hell.

5 if u donot believe in there god u go to hell.

6 If you had special needs hell.

7 (heard this one very well could be wrong) if you are black you will go to hell.

hmmmmmmm im noticing somthing here i have never read the bible im straight wooo i have prayed to other god i do not realy believe in ur god so im going to hell. just like that and im suppoesed to like the guy who syas im going to hell hmmm that dosent make much sense to me. maybe it doss 2 u.


the dole lamba ( budist leader) has said he dosent care what religon you are just as long as you are kind and love. how many times have you heard jesus say that ??

in 3000 years people will think the same thing as people do now with greek mytholgy about christianity.

if you are one of the 66% that dont fit with that list ill see you in hell.

Its not that we hate jesus, its that we dont like how religion portrays itself. it has nothing to do with jesus at all really. Assuming your talking to atheists.

We just don't like how religion in general, how so many problems follow in its shadow, how so much money from society is given to the name of religion when those religions make monuments and buildings about their god or beliefs, we cant stand how religion is (in some peoples minds) an excuse to do something, and we by far cant stand it when religious people try to "save" us.

Atheists (still assuming your talking about us) merely think that its so illogical to believe in something that not only cant be proven (or disproven). for example.

lets say you found a fruit on the ground under a tree. lets say there was only one branch that led to a twig. now lets say you took a look at that fruit and saw that there was a stem to it that apears that it would have fallen from the tree, along with a brooze on the fruit. you would most likely conclude that that fruit came from that tree. correct?

the probability from the aparent evidence says that it would have most likely came from that tree.

i could go on if you'd like.

The dead asleep offering their 10% cash with regular lip service does nothing to awaken to the reality of the living light (which ain't yer jesu, thanks).

Keep sleeping, keep being lazy. Don't make the effort to study the existing records of the non-existence of your pretentious jesu beliefs. How do you hate something that you were taught to obey, and then present persecution upon those who don't believe such claptrap? Hard choice.

The king of the world exists, hidden in it's idolatry, being worshipped as the 'one son,' jesu, by the sleeping lazy crowd of unknowing, uncaring.

Here's my 10% (make that 20% for "love offering"). Ooohh, save me a seat.

And for those sillies who say they saw jesu and 'testify,' thanks, I had the little squirrel stop by me window (2nd floor) when I was seven yrs. of age, full of light and 'glory.' Quite amazing, really, telling me he was 'jesu.' What's a young innocent supposed to think when demons appear wearing glowing white, radiating power and energy? Come, read the ufo sections, there you'll find the reason why the Awakening Ones of Humanity detest the very notion of these beggaring fanatics in their unknowing, uncaring fallacy.

"Once that the key to Genesis is in our hands, the scientific and symbolical Kabalah unveils the secret. The Great Serpent of the garden of Eden and the Lord God are identical.

(Secret Doctrine, H.B.)

By the Hermetics, known as 'the king of the world,' both satan and jesu, dressed in red & white on x-mas.

Ho Ho, Ho Ho, Hooo.

Why hate the foolish? They rob the world of any true friendship amoungst brother & sister, and they know not what they do.

Good work. Keep it up, 'til the Earth becomes a burnt crust, a cinder in your eyes (as reward).
