You failed to prove what you're claiming. As I said before it's all speculation on your part and no concrete evidence. My evidence is in the Bible. There are historical references to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in various Jewish and non-Jewish sources. The New Testament of the Christian Bible provides an account of Jesus' crucifixion, and some Jewish texts from that time period also make indirect references to it.

Again, I don't need to google for answers. Is the question that hard for you to provide an answer or you have a problem coming up with one?

1: What is the caste system's originit?

2: What is it ethical implications?

3: What its relevance in the modern world?

Learn to read books other than the bible. I am not here to discuss the caste system. Perhaps you could ask yourself, What is the highest rank in Christianity and where you stand.

Christ did not die on the cross. He was in a coma. After he recovered, your bible says he went where John et al were hanging out. He was not a ghost. They fed him since he was hungry. Ghosts don't eat. Christ then backtracked with the help of traders to India. He later died in Kashmir.

You should take your own advice and read books and stop relying on hearsay and Google to come up with your answers. I understand that you might not be able to provide an answer on the Hindu perspective regarding the origin of the caste system, its ethical implications, and its relevance in today's society. It seems like a sensitive topic for you and your beliefs.

I am the altar boy who will help you understand your position. Please remain focused on your area of expertise (politics) and refrain from discussing subjects about which you lack knowledge, aside from what you've gathered from external sources and online searches. Repeating the same unsupported arguments without presenting solid evidence is not productive.

Jesus Did Not Die on the Cross

Jesus did not die on the cross, and he was saved from the humiliation of death on the cross. The Bible says:

“he that is hanged is accursed of God”. (Deuteronomy 21:23)

Almighty God did work to save his beloved prophet from an accursed death on the cross. Jesus fervently prayed that the cup of death on the cross be removed. He said:

“O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me”. (Matthew 26:39

The Bible further informs us that these supplications were heard and accepted:

“Who in the days of flesh when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he suffered”. (Hebrews 5:7)

Jesus had predicted to give the sign of Jonas:

“But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

“For as Jonas was three days and three nights in a whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”. (Matthew 12:39-40)

For the sign to be similar to that of Jonas, Jesus must have been alive in the sepulchre after the incident of crucifixion.

Jesus was alive when he was being taken off from the cross. A soldier pierced his side with a spear and blood and water came out which normally indicates life. The Bible says:

“But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side and forthwith came there blood and water”. (John 19:34)

Jesus met his disciples after crucifixion and assured them of his life.

“And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them then came Jesus, the doors being shut and stood in the midst, and said, ‘Peace be unto you’. Then saith he to Thomas. “Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands, and reach hither thy hand and thrust into my side and be not faithless, but believing”. (John 20:26, 27)

Jesus was sent to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 15:24) as he himself declared. It is historically proven that these lost Israelites had migrated to different eastern countries. Jesus in fulfillment of his heavenly mission, went to the lost Israelites and conveyed his prophetic message. In Kashmir, he died a natural honourable death. His tomb, even today can be visited in Srinagar, Kashmir.

Jesus Did Not Die on the Cross

Jesus did not die on the cross, and he was saved from the humiliation of death on the cross. The Bible says:

“he that is hanged is accursed of God”. (Deuteronomy 21:23)

Why not quote the whole scripture? Deuteronomy 21:23 "His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

Definition of hang: suspend or be suspended from above with the lower part dangling free. Kill (someone) by tying a rope attached from above around the neck and removing the support from beneath (used as a form of capital punishment).

Question: Was Christ lower part dangling when He was, your words "hang from tree"? Did Christ had a rope around His neck or was he nail to the cross (wooden tree)?

At the place of crucifixion, Jesus was nailed to the cross. Nails were driven through his wrists and/or hands and his feet, affixing him to the wooden cross. The cross was then raised and secured in an upright position.


What is Deuteronomy 21:23 saying?
This verse is part of the laws and regulations provided to the Israelites by Moses. It pertains to the treatment of a person who has been executed by hanging as a form of capital punishment. The verse emphasizes that the body should not be left hanging overnight, but rather should be taken down and buried on the same day. The reason for this swift burial is given in parentheses: "for he that is hanged is accursed of God."

Almighty God did work to save his beloved prophet from an accursed death on the cross. Jesus fervently prayed that the cup of death on the cross be removed. He said:

“O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me”. (Matthew 26:39)

"And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.'"

In this verse, Jesus is depicted as praying in the Garden of Gethsemane shortly before his arrest. The verse is part of a larger scene where Jesus is deeply distressed about the impending events of his crucifixion and is praying to God the Father.

The key elements of this verse include:

  1. "Going a little farther": After entering the garden with his disciples, Jesus moves away from them, possibly seeking a more solitary place for his prayer.

  2. "He fell with his face to the ground and prayed": This describes Jesus' posture of deep reverence and submission as he falls to the ground with his face down, a gesture of intense humility and supplication.

  3. "'My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me": In this part of the prayer, Jesus acknowledges the immense suffering he knows he will endure during his crucifixion and asks if there is any way to avoid this fate. The term "cup" is often used metaphorically in the Bible to represent suffering, judgment, or the wrath of God.

  4. "Yet not as I will, but as you will": Here, Jesus expresses his willingness to submit to God's divine plan, even though he is deeply troubled by the suffering that awaits him. He surrenders his own desires and submits to God's will.

This verse captures the depth of Jesus' humanity and his willingness to undergo extreme suffering for the salvation of humanity. It also illustrates the concept of Jesus' dual nature, being fully divine and fully human, struggling with the impending events yet ultimately submitting to the divine purpose.

So, while Jesus prayed for the possibility of avoiding the crucifixion, the understanding is that God allowed it to happen as part of the overarching plan of salvation.

The Bible further informs us that these supplications were heard and accepted:

“Who in the days of flesh when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he suffered”. (Hebrews 5:7)

The verse you've mentioned highlights an aspect of Jesus' earthly experience, particularly during his time of suffering and prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane just before his crucifixion.

Here's a breakdown of Hebrew 5:7 meaning:

  • "In the days of his flesh": This phrase refers to the time when Jesus was living on Earth in human form, implying his earthly life.

  • "Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears": This portion describes Jesus' intense prayer and supplication to God. The reference to "loud cries and tears" indicates the depth of his emotional and spiritual state. This event is likely a reference to Jesus' anguished prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane before his arrest and crucifixion, as described in the Gospels.

  • "to him who was able to save him from death": Jesus prayed to God, acknowledging God's power and ability to save him from the impending death he was facing, which refers to his crucifixion.

  • "and he was heard because of his reverence": This phrase signifies that Jesus' prayer was heard and responded to by God due to Jesus' reverent and obedient attitude. However, it's important to note that being "heard" doesn't necessarily mean that Jesus' physical suffering was removed, as he did ultimately undergo crucifixion. Rather, it emphasizes the spiritual aspect of his connection with God.

Overall, Hebrews 5:7 underscores Jesus' humanity, his deep emotional experience, his submission to God's will, and his role as a high priest who empathizes with human suffering. The verse captures a pivotal moment in Jesus' life and ministry, highlighting his sacrificial nature and his unique relationship with God.

Jesus had predicted to give the sign of Jonas:

“But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

“For as Jonas was three days and three nights in a whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”. (Matthew 12:39-40)

This passage is understood to be a reference to Jesus' own future resurrection. Here's what it means:

  1. Request for a Sign: The scribes and Pharisees are asking Jesus for a sign to prove his authority and identity as the Messiah. Jesus responds that the only sign they will receive is the "sign of the prophet Jonah."

  2. Sign of Jonah: Jesus draws a parallel between himself and the story of Jonah from the Old Testament. Jonah was swallowed by a great fish and remained in its belly for three days and three nights before being vomited out and continuing his mission to preach repentance to the people of Nineveh.

  3. Foreshadowing Resurrection: Jesus is using the story of Jonah metaphorically to foreshadow his own death and resurrection. Just as Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of the fish before being released, Jesus predicts that he will spend three days and three nights in the heart of the earth (referring to his burial) before rising again.

In essence, Jesus is telling the scribes and Pharisees that the ultimate sign of his authority will be his resurrection from the dead after three days, mirroring the time Jonah spent in the fish. This passage emphasizes the importance of Jesus' resurrection as a validation of his claims and mission.

For the sign to be similar to that of Jonas, Jesus must have been alive in the sepulchre after the incident of crucifixion.

Jesus was alive when he was being taken off from the cross. A soldier pierced his side with a spear and blood and water came out which normally indicates life. The Bible says:

“But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side and forthwith came there blood and water”. (John 19:34)

Hold up you missed a verse, lets back up two verse before and after.

33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: 34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. 35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. 36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

Are we reading the same Bible you are quoting from?

Jesus met his disciples after crucifixion and assured them of his life.

“And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them then came Jesus, the doors being shut and stood in the midst, and said, ‘Peace be unto you’. Then saith he to Thomas. “Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands, and reach hither thy hand and thrust into my side and be not faithless, but believing”. (John 20:26, 27)

Are you admitting here that Jesus was crucified and resurrected? Sure sound so, "Jesus met his disciples after crucifixion and assured them of his life" You're learning.

This passage describes a moment when the disciples were gathered together, and Jesus appeared to them even though the doors were locked. Thomas, one of the disciples, had previously expressed doubt about Jesus' resurrection, saying that he would only believe if he saw and touched Jesus' wounds. In this passage, Jesus addresses Thomas directly, inviting him to touch his wounds and believe.

The passage carries several important themes:

  1. Physical Proof of Resurrection: Jesus provides physical evidence of his resurrection to Thomas by inviting him to touch his wounds. This highlights the reality of Jesus' resurrection and addresses Thomas's doubt.

  2. Faith and Belief: Jesus emphasizes the importance of faith and belief, even without seeing physical evidence. He tells Thomas to believe rather than doubt. This theme echoes throughout the New Testament, emphasizing the significance of faith in the absence of tangible proof.

  3. Peace and Reassurance: Jesus begins the encounter by saying, "Peace be with you," which signifies his desire to bring comfort and reassurance to his disciples. This peace comes not just from the absence of fear but from the presence of the resurrected Christ.

  4. Personal Encounter: The passage illustrates how Jesus personally interacts with his disciples, addressing their individual needs and doubts. This underscores Jesus' deep understanding of their hearts and his willingness to meet them where they are.

In essence, John 20:26-27 portrays a pivotal moment where Jesus engages with Thomas's doubts, provides evidence of his resurrection, and encourages belief. It speaks to the themes of faith, doubt, personal encounter, and the transformative power of the resurrection.

Jesus was sent to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 15:24) as he himself declared. It is historically proven that these lost Israelites had migrated to different eastern countries. Jesus in fulfillment of his heavenly mission, went to the lost Israelites and conveyed his prophetic message. In Kashmir, he died a natural honourable death. His tomb, even today can be visited in Srinagar, Kashmir.
Source:

In Matthew 15:24, Jesus is responding to the woman's request for help. The woman, who is not an Israelite but a Canaanite, pleads with Jesus to heal her daughter. However, Jesus initially responds with the statement that he was sent only to the "lost sheep of Israel."

The meaning of this verse is often interpreted in a couple of ways:

  1. Primarily for Israel: Some scholars and theologians interpret this statement as reflecting Jesus' initial focus on his ministry among the Jewish people. During his earthly ministry, Jesus often prioritized teaching and healing among the Jewish population, as he was fulfilling the Messianic prophecies given to the people of Israel.

  2. Expression of Faith: Another interpretation sees Jesus' response as a way to test the woman's faith and persistence. By saying he was sent to the lost sheep of Israel, Jesus might have been inviting the woman to demonstrate her faith and determination in seeking help from him.

Ultimately, the story goes on to highlight the woman's profound faith and her persistence in her request. Jesus commends her faith, and her daughter is healed. This episode is often seen as a demonstration of Jesus' willingness to extend his ministry beyond the boundaries of Israel and to include people from all nations, irrespective of their background.

Are you serious? You're using the word of God (the Bible) to support your foolish explanation? This is precisely what I mean when I emphasize the importance of comprehending what you read. As I mentioned earlier, it's evident that you struggle with comprehension. Allow me, the altar boy, to assist in enhancing your understanding. See my response in red above.

I am delighted you asked.

The following are some key verses that convey the concept of Jesus' sacrificial death for the forgiveness of sins:

  1. Isaiah 53:5-6 (Old Testament): "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all."

  2. John 1:29 (New Testament): "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, 'Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!'"

  3. Romans 5:8-10: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!"

  4. 2 Corinthians 5:21: "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in him, we might become the righteousness of God."

  5. 1 Peter 2:24: "He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; 'by his wounds, you have been healed.'"

  6. 1 John 2:2 "He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."

These verses, among others, emphasize the idea that Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross was a means of reconciling humanity with God, offering forgiveness of sins, and providing a way for people to be made right with God.

  2. John 1:29 (New Testament): "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, 'Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!'"  So why do we still have sins? More Bullshit.

  3. Romans 5:8-10: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!"  Christ did not die for us. This is called "gas lighting" in sales tactics.

  4. 2 Corinthians 5:21: "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in him, we might become the righteousness of God." Obviously this true. The prisons are overcrowded. Can you guess what race dominates the prisons?

  5. 1 Peter 2:24: "He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; 'by his wounds, you have been healed.'" This is false.

  6. 1 John 2:2 "He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." This is another lie by John.

These verses, among others, emphasize the idea that Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross was a means of reconciling humanity with God, offering forgiveness of sins, and providing a way for people to be made right with God. I don't believe in human sacrifice.  He was executed for blasphemy. I believe in: what you sow, so shall you reap.

The Importance of Accepting Criticism

Others can make us better and help us avoid pain, but only if we're willing to consider their point of view.


Proverbs 10:8-18

Nobody likes criticism, but we should remember that God can use it to tell us something important. We are wise to pay attention when people critique us. Their words—whether invited or not—should encourage us to examine ourselves and discover who we really are. If we fail to listen, we might miss out on something essential.

That’s why it’s important to respond well and evaluate criticism correctly. Instead of immediately becoming defensive or assuming you’re without fault, ask yourself, Is the Lord trying to teach me something in this moment?  It’s wise not to automatically reject the comment, blame the person who made it, or defend yourself. Instead, consider what was said and ask God to continue revealing His will for your life. Then thank the person and explain that you’ll reflect on his or her observation.

Today’s passage reminds us: “The wise of heart will receive commands” and the “one who is on the path of life follows instruction” (vv. 8, 17). If we wish to continue growing in Christlikeness, we must leave ourselves open to receive the Lord’s teachings via whatever or whomever He chooses.

"I don't believe in human sacrifice.  He was executed for blasphemy. I believe in: what you sow, so shall you reap."

Now which is it? Did Jesus escape execution and went to India to live out His days or as you stated, "He was executed for blasphemy"? You cannot have it both ways.

My child you are confused. He was executed for blasphemy but he survived. He was in a coma when he was taken down. I don't believe John's fabrications,  since he and Jesus were like two peas in a pod.

Did he not meet with his gang later? He was not a ghost. They fed him fish and bread, since he was  hungry. Ghosts don't eat. They have no guts nor stomachs.

That the Virgin Mary being impregnated by a god;  an accord of Jesus' birth, is a first century pagan idea.

Hence, Christianity is based on paganism.

According to the Christian claim: Jesus was the product of a virgin birth. Hence, he had no father .  The Messiah must be descendant on his father's side from King David.  Therefore, that he is the Messiah is false. Q.E.D.

Handling Praise

Do you feel awkward when someone compliments you?


Proverbs 27:2

Think about a time when you received praise from a parent, a teacher, or an employer. How did you feel? Did it make you glad or uncomfortable? For many people, praise is nearly as difficult to handle as criticism. Because God’s Word instructs us to be humble (Matthew 18:4; Philippians 2:3), we may sometimes feel confused about how to receive compliments. Here are three ways to respond:

1. Acknowledge the comment by thanking the person. Don’t explain why you are unworthy of praise or try to deflect such kindness. The Lord is using that person to bless you!

2. Identify and acknowledge the character quality that led the other person to commend you. Perhaps he or she sees something you’ve missed (and that God wants you to be aware of). Remember, believers are called to “encourage one another and build one another up” in the Lord (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

3. Share what the encouragement means to you personally. Scripture says that “pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones” (Proverbs 16:24). Tell the other person how much you’ve been blessed by his or her attention and care. After all, praise can go both ways.

The Power of Scriptural Prayer

Praying Scripture for loved ones guarantees that our petitions reflect God's heart.


Colossians 1:9-10

One of the greatest things we can do is lift a person up in prayer. And there is no more powerful way to do this than to speak Scripture on his or her behalf. Colossians 1:9-10 is a beautiful example of what to pray as we bring loved ones before God’s throne.

The apostle Paul wrote today’s passage to the church at Colossae. From this, we know the specific requests he brought before God concerning his brothers and sisters in the faith. These are applicable to us today as well. Let’s focus on the first two requests today and the remaining four tomorrow.

First, Paul asked for the believers to understand God’s plan for their lives. We must remember that the Lord often does not reveal everything at once, but He does give seeking hearts enough information to trust and follow His path.

Second, the apostle prayed that the believers in Colossae would conduct themselves in a manner worthy of Christ. Paul longed to see them remain consistent with their identity in the Lord and to produce spiritual fruit (Galatians 5:22-23).

When you begin to pray as Paul does here, your intercessions will change—and so will you.

I encourage you to provide your factual information on the statement above. If you are unable to do so, I will refer to you as:

Is king Charles the head of your church?

They don't teach you this in Sunday school. Perhaps you are too busy with drawings and crayons.

Islam and Christianity practice conversions. Hinduism does not.

My research shows that Islam will surpass Christianity before the end of the century. It has a higher conversion rate in Africa compared to Christianity.

Saint Keith will try to convince us that Christ died for those pedophile priests.

Om Shanti.

The variations in the genealogies don't necessarily imply contradictions but rather reflect different perspectives on Jesus' lineage.

Both Matthew and Luke statement on the genealogy serves a theological purpose in connecting Jesus to the lineage of King David, as the Messiah was often prophesied to be a descendant of David.

A Model for Prayer

Don't let life's busyness distract you from the important work of intercession.


Colossians 1:10-14

Let’s continue using Paul’s prayer as a model. Yesterday, we made note of the first two requests. Now let’s consider the other four. In Colossians 1, Paul prays that his brothers and sisters would:

Bear fruit in every good work (v. 10)—The Lord desires that our actions bring Him glory. We all seem to be very busy, but the amount of work isn’t what matters. Instead, we must be sure that the things we do are eternally valuable.

Grow in the knowledge of God (v. 10)—The apostle’s request is not merely for believers to gain facts regarding Christ. He speaks of a deeper understanding in the heart.

Be strengthened according to His power (v. 11)—Having endurance and focus in the midst of life’s trials requires God’s strength. Our own simply isn’t enough.

Walk in gratitude (v. 12)—When we realize where all good gifts originate, we live with thankfulness. Contentment and joy come from a grateful heart, not our circumstances.

Life is busy, so prayer often gets squeezed out of our schedules. We must always remember that lifting our loved ones before God’s throne is far more important than any other task.

Altar Boy, please note the caste system is neither exclusive to Hindu religion nor is it endemic to India. It exists in your Christian organization and all over the world.

You have been brainwashed. Understanding cannot be forced on someone who chooses to be ignorant.

When will you become a pastor? What did Jesus say about when Mits slap you on one cheek?

I understanding you are speaking of yourself here. How many times will I need to attempt to convey the importance of providing factual statements to support your claims?

The call is not on my life to become a pastor. Matthew 5:38-39 often interpreted as a call for believers to practice humility, self-control, and love even in the face of hostility or injustice. It emphasizes the importance of breaking the cycle of violence and promoting a spirit of reconciliation and compassion. But if you were to slap me again, I will have to let you know by force it not tolerated.

This gap is growing, with the median wealth of a white family increasing by 8.1% between 2017 and 2019, while the median wealth of a Black family decreased by 4.2%. The report also finds that Black Americans are significantly more likely to live in poverty than white Americans. In 2019, 22.1% of Black Americans lived in poverty, compared to 8.4% of white Americans. In addition, Black Americans are more likely to experience housing insecurity, with a rate of 35.4%, compared to 17.9% for white Americans.

Finally, the report finds that Black Americans experience higher rates of discrimination in the labor market. Black men are more than twice as likely to be unemployed as white men, and Black women are more than three times as likely to be unemployed as white women. In addition, Black Americans are more likely to be employed in lower-wage occupations, and less likely to receive promotions or raises than their white counterparts.
Is the caste system is at work here?

Overall, this report demonstrates the stark economic inequity that Black Americans face in the United States. The report highlights the importance of economic equity and the need to create more economic opportunities for Black Americans in order to create a more just society.
