No, I'm a lapsed Catholic and a current agnostic. Unlike Mani, I don't believe that pretending to believe is the path to salvation.

And I seriously doubt Jesus has any complaints about my questions.

Lapsed Catholic?

Does that mean that you are past your expiration date?

it is worse to have Christians invoke evil in the name of Christ as it would be for muslim to invoke evil in the name of allah or a jew to invoke evil in the name of God...in my opinion...because they are suppose to representing what Christ taught, and he never taught being evil or cruel or unjust or waxed cold.

For roaming priestly hands, yes.

Tell me..if christ showed up today..a brown skinned bare foot socialist unemployed non english speaking jew with no proof of birth would you have him arrested or thrown out of the country?

Or better yet, what about all these evangelical leaders? Can you imagine any of them bowing down to someone who didn't look like a "Nordic God"?

If he doesn't have straight, light brown hair, blue eyes, and a western profile, it obviously CAN'T be Jesus.

Methinks somebody is a wee bit insecure and self centered.

I didn't mention anybody specifically.

Jesus is a Jew...he wouldn't fit the "Anglo" profile.

You guys know what's even worse? Some recovered Mormon alcoholic on a dry drunk using Yom Kippur (a Jewish holiday of fasting and prayer) to promote a Republican agenda.

DOES HE HAVE TO POLITICIZE YOM KIPPUR, TOO?.... Here's a quick tip for Glenn Beck: Judaism's high holy days are not part of your crazed political crusade.

This afternoon, Beck wrote a Twitter message that read, "Sept. 28. Lets make it a day of Fast and Prayer for the Republic. Spread the word.Let us walk in the founders steps." [Grammatical problems in the original]

Soon after, on his radio show, Beck added, "By the way, I just thought I would put this out there, and what you do with it is your own business. But, this weekend, I put out a tweet on Twitter that September 28th is the Day of Atonement for the Jewish faith, and I thought it would be a good day for all of us to fast and pray, you know. And I got this idea from Thomas Jefferson. After they put together the Continental Congress, the first thing they did was put together a day -- a national day of fast and prayer, and I thought the Day of Atonement would be a good day to do it."

Two angles to keep in mind here. First, Beck's understanding of history is incomplete -- Jefferson was a staunch opponent of proclamations related to days of prayer and fasting. Jefferson even wrote brilliant letters about why he objected to the practice. If Beck is going to use Jefferson as an inspiration, he should at least try to understand what Jefferson was all about.

Second, and more important, Yom Kippur should not be used as an excuse for Glenn Beck to push his nonsense. "Yom Kippur is a day of atonement, prayer and fasting," Media Matters' Ari Rabin-Havt said. "Glenn Beck's attempt to politicize this holiest of days with his far right agenda is not only disgusting, but shows a profound disrespect for the Jewish people."

And, you're right.........if Yeshua (Jesus) showed up today wearing sandals and robes without any identification, preaching love for your fellow man, long hair and a beard, who hangs out with the dregs of society?

Yep........He'd be locked up quick.

A lot of assumptions comes from all ends concerning, "What would Jesus do?" Or "would Jesus do that?" Simple solution read the book for those who do not believe and ask these type questions or those who claim to believe but are not sure. It's most likely that the answer is in there to whatever question there may be concerning what Jesus taught and what He stood for.

When He comes, He comes as a thief in the night. Meaning most will not know it or recognize who He is. Even so as most did not know Him or recognize Him when he was in Jerusalem two thousand years ago.

Don't bad mouth Jesus!

He had dirty blonde hair, blue eyes and spoke with a british accent.

I've seen it in all the movies. The real son of God wouldn't have olive skin, brown eyes and black hair.

After Christ arose from the grave and reappeared on Earth, one of his disciples, Thomas, didn't really believe it was Him. Thuse we have the term, "Doubting Thomas." Thomas did find out, however, but I'm not going to tell how. Open your Bibles to find out how he found the proof that he was in the presence of the Lord.

Scripture tells us there will be many deceivers who will come in the name of the Lord, but those of us with wisdom of God's word will be able to discern whether or not the true Christ is standing before us.

Tell me..if christ showed up today..a brown skinned bare foot socialist unemployed non english speaking jew with no proof of birth would you have him arrested or thrown out of the country?

No. Because it's most likely that The Christ will be dark eyed, and dark skinned. But I would also know through knowledge of Scripture whether or not the man before me was the Messiah.

Someone recognized him or he wouldn't have ended up a pinup.

More like He was thought of as a threat to the Pharisees and Sadducees or the ruling class.

Actually, that little story about people not recognizing Him in Jerusalem is kinda twisted up and will mislead you..........

Yeshua (Jesus) heard about a Gentile (non Jew) who was being plagued by demons, so, He decided to go see if He could help. On the way out of the city, a fellow Jew looked at Him and recognized Him. Yeshua then told the man "shh......don't tell them it's Me", and left the city to go see the man afflicted with demons.

Upon arrival, Yeshua cast the demons out of the man and cast them into a herd of swine, which then ran off a cliff and died. When Yeshua left the man, He told him "tell everyone what God has done for you through Me".

Now, the point of this story is that Yeshua DID NOT COME FOR THE JEWS, HE CAME FOR THE GENTILES, which is why when the Jew saw Him, He told him to be quiet and tell no body, but, when He left the Gentile, He told him to tell everyone (all the non Jews) what God had done for the man via Yeshua.
