I am sorry, but the word Zion in a Church name proves absolutely nothing about a church's beliefs.
Jesus does not call for his Followers to worship Zion.
That is the issue you need to deal with.
Sherri
No one ever said Jesus called his followers to worship Zion. So what is your point? - J.
I simply chalk up you being a Zionist to the prince of the world leading you astray!
Jeremiah uhm My jeremiah was raised in family that escaped a shariah
shit hole. He knows virtually nothing about christianity---make that nothing.
Every year I remind him what easter and christmas is about.
The fact that there are hebrew words ( written in english ---of course)
splashed all over the USA fascinates him.
It is likely that sherri is not even aware of HOW prevalent they are----names of
streets, hospitals, schools, churches ------and names of people----like you, Jeremiah.
Lots of people simply do not know they are hebrew words or ---like sherri---they
reject the fact that the people who USED hebrew words to name things---did
so for a scholarly reason.
an interesting story about names----A neighbor---in this case she was catholic--
walked into mom's kitchen one day and said "why do jews like to use IRISH
names for their children" mom looked confused so I chimed in---"what
Irisn name" the lady continued "my doctor is jewish and he has two sons
with irish names" me--"what names?" she---"michael and jerome"
me---"<cough> <cough>" -----i could not convince the lady that both
are hebrew names
getting back to sherri and her contention that jesus did not say "worship zionism"
SHERRI---Jesus as a pharisee. His followers were pharisees did you ever
hear the adage "NO NEED TO PREACH TO THE CHOIR"? '
BTW do you fart out "WORSHIP MECCA" at your muslim friends?
getting back to Jesus----he was obviously a zionist----THE MOST IMPORTANT
SYMBOL OF ZION---it "HIGHEST POINT" is the temple----it was the aim
---the STATED AIM of the pharisees to keep the temple pure----from filth
like you. The ENTIRE PURPOSE of the MONEY CHANGERS in the
TEMPLE COURTYARD----was to facilitate business with FILTH LIKE YOU.
which was controlled by Romans and their SADDUCCEAN SHILLS.
sherri---I do understand you----it is hard for you to imagine that jews
actually have a WRITTEN HISTORY----coming from dense illiteracy
as you do. We know who the pharisees were ---what they did and
why. how they spoke------etc etc Jesus the zionist was very keen
on cleansing the temple from FOREIGN ELEMENTS ---make that
influence and---even SADDUCEAN influence---roman shills that they
were
so he did the pharisee thing-----virtually the MACCABEE thing. He
tried to clean them out.
I agree with every story that you ever heard that his crucifixtion
was payback for that event------his nemesis is CAIAPHAS----but
CAIAPHAS WAS A SACCUCEAN ROMAN SHILL----he was not a "pharisee
rabbi" as your nazi sunday school teacher told you. The action in
the temple courtyard-----is his ACT OF SEDITION FOR WHICH HE
WAS CRUCIFIED by PONTIUS PILATE who made a living doing
that sort of thing-----to pharisees Like you---the romans hated
pharisees------they were trouble makers for rome. They disdained
roman culture. Remember JOSEPHUS FLAVIUS---of course you do.
He was a pharisee who agreed to compromise with Rome----a fact
that made him PERSONA NON GRATA----in some of the house holds
in which Jesus had been welcomed-----but historically he is redeemed
as a kind of -----undercover recorder of history. The Romans liked him
so much they made him a CITIZEN OF ROME (also not good for his
rep. in kosher town) The two non-descript sentences he wrote about
jesus are forged insertions. The catholic church inherited his tomes as
part of the stuff rome pillaged from jews ---and added the insertions.
