Judgement?
I don't judge. It is not my job. I was only reporting. I don't know how to judge. And to quite honest, I think that particular phrase is more than a bit overused. Please define that, if you would.
Are you suggesting I was being critical of you? If so, I would have to answer that I was not because I know nothing about you. In fact, this is a written forum populated by people from all over and from all manner of ideals. I think. Or, it could be three people who are very, very busy and exceptionally adept at multiple dialogues. The point is, no one in this forum knows anything about anyone else in this forum that they don't reveal about themselves, and even that could all be fabricated.
I am not suggesting this is true of you, I am only suggesting that I cannot judge you because I don't know you and I wouldn't possibly know what to judge you on.
So, please, without sounding too glib, because I certainly don't mean it that way, please, lighten up.
This thread was, I thought, about the reason for the crucifixion. That being a Judaeo/Christian event, one could reasonably expect it to be discussed within the perameters of the Bible. That is what I was trying to do. But you guys threw the Bible out the window and wanted to make this a subjective discussion, it would seem, and that leaves me at a loss.
It isn't my intention to alienate, and if that how you feel, I apologize. But to me, there is no way to De-Bible the Messiah. That's like the concept of Instant Water. What do you add to it?
Ultimately, the lesson and reason for the crucifixion is, from a biblical standpoint, IMHO, to demonstrate that TRUTH is not, and cannot be relative.
Now, stone me if you want, but I have not judged you or attacked anyone.
