Your hatred for the Jewish race seems to be the overriding issue here. As I have already posted, they were not a sinless race by any means. God chose them as His instrument to communicate the Gospel to the world and to bring forth the Savior Jesus Christ. Wait a minute my friend....I have no hatred for the Jewish race whatsoever by communicating to you of their extreme warlike tendencies and irrascibility in those times ...or the fictitiousness of the bible , both new and old . Have you ever picked up a real History book ? You see a Jewish king crucifying 800 fellow jewish men , women and children in one evening 80yrs BCE in Jerusalem while he plays with his women and drinks wine and looks on. Yes , my statement of Jewish violence and idolatry still stands , as well as Christian idolatry , ignorance and violence too. The history of Christianity reads like a bloodbath , if you were honest with yourself and your God . So what is the missing ingredient ? Your previous statements of how innocent Christians are , that they have not tied bombs around their waist and killed innocent muslims ...always turning the other cheek and loving their neighbors etc , is pure fantasy . There has been a rennaisance of sorts thru democracy and the writings of many great teachers, philosophers , scientists, humanist, literary genious, artists that have added a new body of scripture, knowledge , to the legacy of our race on earth. Especially a great deal of growth happening from out of the lessons of the lasr century. This comes from without Christianty good sir... You have the crusades to consider , and the rest of the entire colonial periods of Christian/European history up to our engagement in Vietnam , which to one degree was an attempt to "Christianize" southeast Asia. A very bitter lesson learned there . But the stealing of lands and resources and making slaves out of less developed peoples around the world was more modern than the cruades now wasn't it ? It's been a difficult world enough without the Christian doctrine encouraging overpopulation...and it's ongoing holy crusades . From the ecclesiastical barbarism of the 16th Century on . And just what the poor of the world need , is another Benny Hinn evangelist and his magic Christian traveling "Biblical Show" assaulting other impoverished cultures of the world , and impacting their lives with needless guilt and fear, and Holy-rolling Christian scriptural rubbish and phoniness. What Christianity has gotten away with in the name of God or Jesus sometimes could make you cringe. regards Mars

If the Jews were falsely claiming to be God's Chosen People and wrote the Bible to support the claim, do you think that they would have documented their repeated sins so thoroughly? The Old Testament hardly makes the Jewish nation look "lily white". Even their most respected leaders were shown to be sinful men. Yes , the Jews are not God's chosen people , but the idea of that kind of theological idolatry overcomes and overuns Christianity for centuries to come as well . After humble beginnings the Christians rise up to be the most intollerant and violent group within the entire Roman Empire , and not until the Renaissance does it even begin to change slightly. But we could use the history of the Jews as an example... The survival of Israel is itself a miracle of God and evidence of His faithfulness to His Word. Many people have tried to obliterate the Jews, and yet they continue to survive and thrive. God returned them to their land in 1948 and gave them back Jerusalem in 1967. Oh come now , so many self-fulfilling prophecys so little time .... the Jewish nation was established out of the collective guilt of the western world that had become more humanistic and led by many independent thinkers of the last century . A divinity may have had a part in that or no . No more than returning Native American tribal lands back to the Navajo or the Crow or Klingkits...or India back to the Indians , or South Africa back to the South Africans . Was that "God's will" as well? Or these folks just don't count in your narow religious hierarchy of life on earth? You make no sense, and see only what you wish to see....and there are none so blind, etc etc. ;-)

21 centuries later , yes you to can be one of God's Holy warriors bennyhinn.org And this is just the kind of "Christianity" that is being shoved down people's throats in poorer nations , what complete taudry , dark and shady crappola. Would you like to tell me where all this darkness in the world is coming from , now ? I could better pray to God by just breathing , than sending a prayer request into these assinine idiots. And that's not hatred friend , but utter and complete---------> flaring nostrils of pure disdain ** this kind of evangelism is tantamount to cultural rape and warfare . And it will backfire in their faces eventually as they force people to defend their own traditions and religions . But this is nothing new to Christianity , rather it was the norm for centuries . Where there may have been peace , Christians came and then there was war . regards Mars
