Since Jesus died in 33 AD and this was written by an unknown writer in about 95 AD, we have no evidence that Jesus ever said this.

RESPONSE:

Please provide the reference where Jesus said he was divine.

Please prove the quotation in which Jesus said he would raise him (not that God would raise him).

Aren't you taking these claims from writing made 40 -60 years after the fact written anonymously by men who were not witnesses?

Feel free to believe they were not His words. There are many proggies and atheists here who don't believe what the Bible says, so you are not alone.

I see you aren't denying it, just playing the "I am a persecuted Christian" card.

And God's Word will still stand even after your words of mockery have long been forgotten.

I don't bother with people who try to play the nazi-card to smear Christians. You lose as soon as you pull it out. Get over your hatred. Ironically what you are trying to do to Christians isn't much different than what they did with Jews in the early years. It started with never ending smear and false accusations.

Read it again. It's over ten years old, almost eleven. If it were in your bible you'd call it prophecy. And it happening right now.


Quote:
Dr. James Luther Adams, my ethics professor at Harvard Divinity School, told his students that when we were his age -- he was then close to 80 -- we would all be fighting the "Christian fascists."

The warning, given 25 years ago, came at the moment Pat Robertson and other radio and television evangelists began speaking about a new political religion that would direct its efforts toward taking control of all institutions, including mainstream denominations and the government. Its stated goal was to use the United States to create a global Christian empire. This call for fundamentalists and evangelicals to take political power was a radical and ominous mutation of traditional Christianity. It was hard, at the time, to take such fantastic rhetoric seriously, especially given the buffoonish quality of those who expounded it. But Adams warned us against the blindness caused by intellectual snobbery. The Nazis, he said, were not going to return with swastikas and brown shirts. Their ideological inheritors had found a mask for fascism in the pages of the Bible.

Nails in hands and feet!

The only difference between a Jewish fundamentalist and a Christian one follows:
