Lots of books surely give you the definative view as to what Jesus actually said 2000 years ago speaking aramaic -- a languange I presume you do not speak. > Crucifixion was a Roman method of execution, and thousands were > executed in that matter; we have all heard the stories of the vicious > nature of the Romans... > When the Romans adopted Jesus' teachings, they attempted to Romanize > it, and take all Jewishness out. > After all, the Romans hated the Jews, and felt superior to them. So let me see if I got this. Romans killed people with crucifixes and hated jews. They romanized things. And thus you know what jesus actually said. Ok, that makes sense, i'm following you so far. > So, why is it so hard to believe, that such a people would not corrupt and pervert his teachings for thier own purposes. Not so hard. But how in heavens name does that make your interpretation of what Jesus said correct? > You must have heard the stories, of the inquisition, and the witch > trials, in Germany, and other parts of Europe, when anyone could > accuse anyone else, of being a witch; and subject them to torture and burning alive in public. In the name of religion, more people have been killed. What in God's name does any of this have to do with the person who Jesus was? Um not much. But what in God's name does any of this have to do with the making you knowledgable about what Jesus actually said? > > So, this dosen't sound intuitive correct to you, then I could offer no proof, as old themes die hard, and it is impossible to teach something, when one does not care to learn. Sounds like arguments any number of groups use. These could just as well be the words of a creationist, and pseudo neo-advaitist or a white-arayan. Such words all play on the insecurites of naive people. Personally, I think Jesus plagerized the Beatles. ------------------------ Yahoo!
