A Habiru
A Christian comrade read this article:
….and then posed this question (https://johndenugent.com/who-was-jesus-thoughts-aryan-evil-yahweh-lloyd-george-went-atheist-christian-heaven/#comment-620157)
I was of the impression that it was James who tried to keep Christianity Judaic with circumcision, etc. while it was the partly Hellenic Paul who sought to universalize Christianity?
Your impression is quite correct. 🙂
But I am questioning the very premise. How on earth could the, by far, wickedest people to have ever lived be “God’s Chosen People”?
We are not talking garden-variety sinners here. 😉 We are talking a breed of psychopathic monsters: heinous, genocidal, psychopathic, crooked, pedophilic, child-raping, child-torturing, and child-blood-draining!
The real issue, and it is of planetary significance, is
“Were the Jews EVER God’s Chosen People”?
“How odd of God
to choose the Jews.” 😉
I would recommend these articles, comrade:
….The Hebrews, as a Jewish author proudly admits, were the “Habiru,” a roaming horde of criminals that terrorized the Middle East:
The “Hebrews” of the Bible were the same as a horde of feared criminals called “the Habiru”
If the Jews ever WERE God’s People, then how is it that Jesus said this?
Was this just (I am asking rhetorically) a “hysterical outburst”? Of course not. I contend that this was a case of Jesus finally blurting out His real view.
And I further contend that Jesus REALLY WAS, as the New Testament says, a Galilean who 1) talked the Jewish talk to try to reform this “stiff-necked people” for the sake of all humanity, 2) failed despite numerous genuine miracles, and 3) was murdered for His pains.
Maybe Jesus was not “God” but was sent by the gods, and He tailored his message to His Jewish audience until the day came when He gave up on them?
Great, short article — right to the point, with good links in case the reader wants to go deeper.
Love it. Excellent job. Thank you.
I thank YOU for saying these encouraging remarks and also for your deeds. 🙂
