You are a quite a " revelation " greg ....
Here Jesus , upset with the priestess Jezebel cries he will have her children killed and other sweet things done to her dead carcass ....
Revelations 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Revelations 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Revelations 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Revelations 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
And Jesus here demands more of his enemies be brought and killed before him ...such a mighty teacher was he that murder and killing & genocide would further his causes <g>
Luke 19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
Luke 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Luke 19:28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
More from this "Son of God " , filled with such infinite compassion so fresh from the pious sermon on the Mt , see's fit to cure a woman's sick daughter only after contemtpous and callous reference to her as a dog of Canaan , and God's mercy was not meant for her tribe , Jesus makes the woman grovel before he cures her sick child ....
Matthew 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
Matthew 15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew 15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
Matthew 15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
Matthew 15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Prophet or Son of God ? Or an uneducated , ignorant , obsessed & delusional primitive ?
In observing a christian such as you Greg, I have found an answer that is non~elusive and quite clear . This was no prophet , Son of God , or even a a half way decent philosopher . But more often a rude , ignorant , uneducated & mad peasant~preacher , reflecting the hopes , madnesses and barebones dreams of wretched, pitiful, superstitious societies/tribes living with absurd prophecies and a primitive cosmologies.
But then it was all a made up fiction , this Son of God wasn't it ?
*** BTW : How's the weather up in the Canadian bush Greg ? Try and lay off the alcohol during the long , cold winter, and try and get out and get a little more sunshine in your life , sunshine !
(But stay off the beer and other alcoholic drinks . Your thoughts and reasoning reek of both .
