I'm guessing you don't get on with people of other cultures and religionsSilly? Lord Jesus was crucified at the behest of the Jews. Perhaps you should learn a little before commenting. John 1:9-13 "The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God— children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
Lord Jesus foretold the destruction of Jerusalem because they rejected Him. That happened as history attests. Herod's temple was utterly destroyed with only a foundation wall standing. No, the Jews rejected Jesus then and most still do today. When they rejected Jesus, they were rejecting God.
Other religions not at all. Other cultures, it depends. I am not racist.I'm guessing you don't get on with people of other cultures and religions
Pete it's a statistical fact that religious faith is very much determined by where you were born and the religion of your parents. A miniscule percentage is related to faith you discovered, independent of those factors. So if you are born in Saudi Arabia, you're likely to be Moslem, if born in the USA your likely to be Christian, and if born in India your Hindu. So for all your rhetoric and poor form towards other cultures and religions, the truth is that if you were born elsewhere, you'd be sprouting a completely different faith and claiming how Christianity was hereticalOther religions not at all. Other cultures, it depends. I am not racist.
It's also likely that would mean Jesus was actually a woman if we're talking no father and parthenogenesis tending to female only.If he didn't have a biological father, it's difficult from a scientific perspective to understand how he could be human at all, so I think its a moot point.
And while death is the penalty for becoming a Christian in most Muslim countries and preaching the gospel illegal, yes, those born into Muslim families are likely to stay Muslim. Having said that, some preachers are working in some Muslim nations and some are converting to Christianity. Faith in Christ comes by hearing the gospel. Christians are routinely murdered in India for preaching the gospel and the authorities rarely intervene. To me it is stating the obvious that people will follow the beliefs that they grow up with. Why would they not? It's only when they hear something different, as I did, that they may accept Christ.Pete it's a statistical fact that religious faith is very much determined by where you were born and the religion of your parents.

Said by everyone who tends to actually be racist. If you have to claim it, that kind of undermines your point. Same as with others claiming it.Other religions not at all. Other cultures, it depends. I am not racist.
Wrong. Jesus had a father. God is "He"It's also likely that would mean Jesus was actually a woman if we're talking no father and parthenogenesis tending to female only.
Wow. You know all about me without ever meeting me or knowing my life history. I married a part aboriginal woman. My children identify as aborigine although they don't look it. If that is racist, then I'm guilty.Said by everyone who tends to actually be racist. If you have to claim it, that kind of undermines your point. Same as with others claiming it.
Except if the father is not human or even necessarily was contributing in the human manner, then it doesn't lend credence to this idea except as a metaphor: adoptionism comes to mind, heard of it? Or is Unitarianism a curse word to you?Wrong. Jesus had a father. God is "He"
You can be racist and married to a person of color as a white person, it's called colonialism, or do you just think there's no bias in your mind about how you think people of color behave or how society treats them at large?Wow.

Ah, spoken like someone who doesn't really care about truth, just convictions masquerading as such. Dunning Kruger syndrome much?You can believe whatever you like. It does not change the truth.
Have you ever considered the possibility that the Christians had reason to believe what they did?Lots of European conquerers married natives and had children with them, that has nothing to do with whether or not they were bigoted chauvenists.
There was an old saying in the US during the westward expansion "save the man, kill the Indian". It reflected a Christian ideal that humanity had value in the abstract, but at the same time the Native American culture was regarded as degenerate and dangerous to the soul of the Indians.
