- What foetid, smelly rotten RUBBISH is this? If this fundie moron had actually
- read his supposed prophecies, he would notice that they all predict a
- militaristic messiah. The jews of the time of Jesus had this idea, as did the
- jews at the writings of the alleged prophecies.
-
- Then we get to the question of his alleged direct decent from king David.
- Ever notice in Matthew it traces Jesus ancestry through JOSEPH to David?
- Ever notice the contradictions in the geneologies given in the other gospels?
-
- Whine all you want about what Jesus allegedly said, he said it AFTER the
- prophecies were made, which invalidates any self-service his statements had...
-
- May Cthulhu use you for an afterdinner mint...
