Jesus was a nutcase (and why Judas betrayed him)

He signed up with John the Baptist because he agreed with him that the
end would be relatively soon, with the arrival of the Son of Man from
heaven to straighten things out. But that's not why he was a nutcase, as
there were a lot of Jews back then who believed the same.
But after John was thrown into jail, Jesus began his own ministry and
gathered close disciples. And somewhere along the line, the lunatic got
it in his head that he was the Messiah and that when the Son of Man
showed up, he'd crown Jesus king. Now, Jesus never admitted this
publicly because he knew it would be suicide, but he did confide it in
his close disciples.
Just a guess, but Judas no doubt figured out at some point that Jesus
was a fraud and it pissed him off because of the false promises and
because he'd already given up a lot to follow Jesus. So when he got the
chance to earn some money by ratting out Jesus's secret, he did.

How would you choose to be your friend? Jesus or Judas?

Jesus is the everlasting Father, Jesus is God, Jesus is the Lord.

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
YET sinners, Christ died for us.

Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it
is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance of God."

"All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving
God with all their heart, soul and mind. An abomination. Therefore,
sin is not what you do, it is what you are."

"Compromise will condemn you."

"There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

"My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."

"You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to
know that?"

"The way of truth is the testimony of life."

"I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall
where God intends."

"Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."

"You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all
live, by faith."

"It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."

"Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look
ahead."

"You cannot be free with guilt in your heart."

"Priority is everything."

"The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."

"There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander
it or to place it where it truly belongs."

"An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."

"Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to
an ignorant straw man."

"Wait, rest, be still, and know."

"No man can wash his own hands!!!"

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."

The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"

"The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."

"Man is not the centre of being."

"Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."

"And then the Lord said, "I see everything."

"Man has no greater idol than his own will."

"Where is God hiding? He isn't."

"If you don't keep all the scriptures, you can't keep any of them."

"You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's
willingness to believe."

"Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,
and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."

"The last day of creation will be the last day of time. God is always
full of hope."

"The veil of the temple was rent in twain, not to have a book pass
through it so that you could play God."

"A phylactery does not a heart for God make. Not back then, and not today."

"The Bible cannot baptize. No one was ever saved by reading the Bible.
Mechanical or methodical salvation is just more Pharisee bureaucracy.
Men are saved after their conviction, death sentence, and resurrection
in baptism--the baptism of the Holy Spirit." - Nightbulb

"No one in heaven is better (or higher) than what makes it heaven. Such
is the love of God."

"The definition of an atheist: A man full of bluster and bullshit
pretending he is the meaning of life."

LOL. Certainly not a back stabber like Judas. Yeah, you might wanna
get back at a prick who cheated you. But I wouldn't wanna repay even
my worst ass fucking by causing the bastard who did it to be
crucified.

This atheist scolar of the time and place should have this groundbreaking
new evidence as soon as possible, perhaps as the central thesis in a new
book:

Where do you think I get my information? I'm quite familiar with
Ehrman and other Bible scholars. It's you who clearly aren't.

In fact, from Ehrman is where I learned some of the above. If you're
interested in reading and learning for yourself, I'll share the names
of my favorite scholars.

LOL. Just joking -- of course I already know you're not. You haven't
the slightest bit of interest in truth. :-)

I try to read only reputable scholars, as I don't want to be misled.
Bart Ehrman, William Dever, E Sanders, Richard Elliott Friedman,
Israel Finkelstein, Dale Martin.

Hermann Gunkel and Julius Wellhausen, but they're very old and so not
current.

Robert Price is qualified and entertaining, but he openly admits he's
a maverick and often disagrees with the rest. Still worth reading.
