Do you think the question isn't important?

(BTW, the thread was started a long time ago, and yeah, maybe I was bored then, I don't remember. Now? Not bored. Just having a good time. )

Crusades... inquisition... I don't know you tell me. Jesus himself? Nah. He was the ultimate good guy. His followers now... not so much.

ha, just read that today...I still don't grasp why Christ would curse a tree that was not in season. That story makes no sense to me.

Weird, almost, I've just been studying this--actually I was studying more the 'Christ as Creator' aspect that seems to be a pop view right now...and I'm not buying it, really, at Christ's prayers to God, which would not be genuine, at least as interpreted, if He considered Himself God. Christ is not God; although if you have seen Him, you have seen the Father, ok; but whereas God ordered death--in the dispensation of Law--Christ came as a sacrifice, to usher in a new dispensation. No more 'eye for an eye,' even; turn the other cheek, and all that.

The fig tree is def a curve-ball there, tho; must be some symbolism I'm not getting.

Re: Did Jesus ever kill anyone?

So, my answer might be that Christ is a diff aspect of God than the One that--semantically--'killed' people.
