    Let me say this about that:

    All religions are political.

    Having said that, we studied this at Bible School:

    Apparently, Jesus was a revolutionary who wanted to overthrow the
    Roman-occupied social order and establish the Kingdom of God. His
    crucifixion by Romans for "sedition" (claiming to be King of the Jews) >>>>>> suggests they viewed him as a dangerous political threat.

    Pilate said, I find no fault in this man. Once in a while a tiny bit >>>>> of honesty peaks out from behind the wizard's curtain.

    The Inscription: He ordered the inscription "Jesus of Nazareth, the King >>>> of the Jews" to be placed on the cross and refused to change it, saying, >>>> "What I have written, I have written".

    It's all political.

    Still pilate can say, I find no fault in this man. Which goes to show
    that honesty can happen virtually in any situation. So be prepared.

    Pilate was the political governor of the Levant. Anything he said would
    be political, one way or the other. " King of the Jews", is a political
    statement.

    You refuse to allow him an honest moment. That is more about you than
    him.

    It's political history: Pilate, who, despite initially finding no fault
    in him, ordered his execution to avoid civil unrest and satisfy the crowd.

    Politics.

    No, actually, he let the mob decide. He was not facing civil unrest.
    He was getting shit from the clergy who feared they might get
    replaced. So the story goes. It is only a story though.

    Nevertheless, never miss a chance for a little bit of truth to come
    sailing by.

    No, actually, he let the mob decide. He was not facing civil unrest.

    Apparently, Jesus was arrested and charged with sedition.

    Gone again...you missed it.

    Sometimes the Bible stories seem confusing. That's why people go to
    Bible School and/or enroll at a community college and take some history courses.

    In fact, there were two trials.

    Final Sentence: After the trial by the Jews Pilate officially authorized
    the execution, and the placard on the cross read "King of the Jews"
    (INRI), signifying a conviction for political rebellion rather than just
    a religious offense.

    Let me say this about that:

    Jesus did not intend on creating a new religion. That was Paul's idea.

    Apparently, Jesus wanted to reform Judaism by removing caste
    distinctions. So, it looks like we agree on that. However, it's obvious
    Jesus was a pacifist, probably a Buddhist. YMMV.

    In the New Testament, the Sanhedrin trial of Jesus refers to the trial
    of Jesus before the Sanhedrin (a Jewish judicial body) following his
    arrest in Jerusalem and prior to the trial before Pontius Pilate.

    Sanhedrin trial of Jesus:

    However, Jesus was himself a politician - all he talked about was

    Having relatives and ancestors living in Canaan, he certainly knew a
    thing or two about Hebraic origins of the Israelite's and the Chaldean's
    down in Babylon - a hot bed of politics.

    Yeah, he simply talked about how war is not something christ would

    Pilate was the political governor of the Levant. Anything he said would
    be political, one way or the other. " King of the Jews", is a political
    statement.

    You refuse to allow him an honest moment. That is more about you than
    him.

    It's political history: Pilate, who, despite initially finding no fault
    in him, ordered his execution to avoid civil unrest and satisfy the crowd.

    Politics.

    Sanhedrin trial of Jesus:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanhedrin_trial_of_Jesus

    Sad to say you missed every little bit of truth to be had from that
    story. All you got was stuff to argue about.

    Sorry. Did you post something relevant about Sec Rubio and Pope Leo
    meeting?

    gone again and again...you missed it all.

    You don't seem to know much about the Jewish Messianic cult in Judea.

    Yup, it all flew right by you. Sucks to be you.

    Alright then, that's a wrap.

    Rubio met the Pope and they discussed politics. That's not what I
    expected from the first American Pope.

    However, Jesus was himself a politician - all he talked about was
    political current events.

    Having relatives and ancestors living in Canaan, he certainly knew a
    thing or two about Hebraic origins of the Israelite's and the Chaldean's
    down in Babylon - a hot bed of politics.

    Haha, watch dude try to assign his own interpretation to what was
    said.

    I don't think you know what jesus certainly knew. Jesus was a
    politician. You better hide somewhere so you don't get struck by
    lightening.

    You don't get charged with sedition and condemned to death unless it's
    serious politics. Nobody ever gets in trouble nursing the sick. It's
    when you start telling people what to do that it becomes political.

    Religion is all about politics.

    Jesus was apparently a politician of the Messiah Death Cult Party. IMHO.

    Pilate was the political governor of the Levant. Anything he said would

    You refuse to allow him an honest moment. That is more about you than
    him.

    It's political history: Pilate, who, despite initially finding no fault

    I don't think you know what jesus certainly knew. Jesus was a

    You don't get charged with sedition and condemned to death unless it's

    when you start telling people what to do that it becomes political.

    Religion is all about politics.

    Jesus was apparently a politician of the Messiah Death Cult Party. IMHO.

    Are you hiding dude?

    Alright then, that's a wrap. Noah knows next to nothing about the

    Apparently not hiding. Dude wants to test whether god actually

    Yeah, he simply talked about how war is not something christ would

    You are making stuff up. Dude said the test of ultimate reality is consciousness.

    Check back in a week dude.

    Dude is back! Did I miss something?

    Maybe you have not thought about this possibility. However, based on the evidence presented so far, it looks like the Messiah cult got started
    in the story of the Suffering Servant:

    Isaiah 53 describes a figure despised, rejected, and pierced for transgressions, viewed as a primary prophecy of the Messiah.

    Apparently, Jesus was a member, if not the leader of, a messianic cult.

    So, that's my rap.

    The existential question is: why does humanity blame itself for nature?
