Jesus was aligned by those who professed to know as a false teacher also. Their advocacy affecting a whole nation.....and today, look at what their rejection of the one whom they deemed a false teacher inspires their leaders to pursue.

There is a misconception regarding God's character. It is a misconception touted by the devil in the beginning. It started with, 'did God really say....?' They took the bait (A&E) and ever since, we have assumed God is angry and needs placating.....dismissing that he went looking for them...

So I conclude from your answer, because God needs blood before he can forgive he's prepared and does have Jesus murdered....all in the name of love for humanity? If this is your view of the character of God, it is not a God I would trust let alone be drawn to. It is more a description of a Devil...

Jesus was murdered by wicked men at the behest of demons.

Becoming a Grateful and Content Wife I've never considered it! hmmx1:

Delusion is not recognised by the deluded and mistaken allegiance a pitiful sight. Not even Jesus was able to break the spell holding those who relish their rightness while blaming their brothers.

We know who your God is Jack.

I would visit Alcoholics Anonymous. They have been a great help in teaching me about things not understood both intellectually and emotionally Go there, stick around and listen up big. If you are willing the right track will unfold through means and with people you never expected.

I think we have alienated God. What I mean is, God has not alienated us yet we are convinced he has alienated us and needs appeasing. His message to us in the person of Jesus is that God is very fond of us. He gives us a never ending stream of gifts. The anxieties men experience are because of...

From what I can tell, Jesus had a love which flowed in and out of him like breathing, ie he absorbed his Father's love and reflected it to us. He even went further than laying down his life for his friends. Paul tells us that while we were enemies he laid down his life for us. Romans 5:8, 10. If...

I wonder what it was on the top of the 'whatever' list that Jesus commanded us to do? What I mean by that is, not just give a verbal ascent to......like the Son who promised to do his father's will but never went out to do it. Matthew 21:28-32 ...and was there a top of the list?

I understand it's difficult to kick against the pricks. One wants to avoid it.....but take courage.

Yes, I've considered it. The account of Abraham is by Moses.....so, sometime down the track. Abraham lived in Mesopotamia where child sacrifice was a done thing. What ever Moses records as Abraham hearing re sacrificing Isaac, I question. I am not persuaded that whatever Abraham heard was...

I think God allows people to judge him worthy of their worship or not.....and so they determine the verdict themselves

Addressing your question highlighted in red above. I think he did forgive them then and there. Check this presentation by Brad Jersak and let me know if you find any value?...thanks

I have absolute respect for the God of Jesus, which might I add I understand to be the same God since before Creation. I also believe that Jesus is the unmitigated revelation of God's character. I do not see it possible that the violence attributed to God by the OT writers accurately reflects...

Have you really come to the conclusion that Jesus talking to his Father in John 17, was assured that his Father was about to have him tortured and killed because he needed it before he could forgive?

I see. I can assure you that I am familiar with the OT including the many attributions of violence to God. I am also familiar with the reality of Jesus, the which does not appear to jive with these attributions. I also think that any honest assessment of both the OT records and the history of...

How would you reconcile Jesus approach manifested in his living and dying with God sanctioning violence seeing he is the Ultimate arbitrator of God's purposes?

Do you want to elaborate on your question?
