if faith is not a choice then what is it

This really is paramount.

The ‘believers’ are all too quick to point their fingers at the ‘non-believers’ as being the guilty party, but the truth of the matter is that the ‘believers’ are guilty of cowardice and hypocrisy!

Jesus stood up against the Roman oppression of the Jews.

What did the Jews do about it??? They denied having anything to do with him!

They abandon him, and cowered-down in their own pathetic fear of the Romans. Moreover, they were so pathetically terrified of the Romans that they actually egged the Romans on to crucify Jesus!

The crowd was as guilty or even more guilty than the Romans. Even Jesus’ own disciples wet their pants in fear and ran away with their tails between their legs.

When Jesus cried out on the cross, “My God! My God! Why have thou forsaken me?”

He wasn’t talking to God. He was speaking to the crowd of Jews asking them why they didn’t support him and stand behind him when he confronted the Romans.

But what did they do? They just stood there mocking him whilst kissing the Roman’s butts.

To stand by and do nothing when someone is being desolated in front of you makes you just as guilty as the perpetrator.

People today think it's a sin to denounce Jesus as the Christ. But that’s hogwash. He needed people to endorse him BEFORE he was crucified. It’s a bit late for that now!

I don’t believe that it was ever Jesus’ intention to commit suicide by purposefully getting himself crucified. It was never his intent to be crucified. He thought the people simply wouldn’t stand by and let that happen.

But they did!

And then afterward, they felt so GUILTY about their cowardice that they decided to immortalize him by making him into a God. And thus the legend of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior was born.

what????? ..I thought this thread was about an insane breeder his vicious dogs and his suicidal son

That explains a lot.

Ok, in that case, just ignore my last post, it was obviously posted in the wrong thread by mistake.
