Agency working with US military posts sermon advising Jews to apologize for killing Jesus
2021-05-07
[Arutz-7] - An agency that provides administrative services to the U.S. military posted an Easter sermon on its website that described a New Testament passage preaching to Jews as a demand to "say sorry" for killing Jesus.

The Washington Headquarters Services pulled down the sermon attributed to a Navy chaplain in North Carolina on April 28, a day after complaints by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a group that advocates for troops and veterans who report discrimination in the military.
And that, children, is why I'm a Zionist. And ardent supporter of the Dimona Mushroom Growers association.

#13  What SPoD said. It had to happen that way or there would be no salvation. And it wasn't so much the 'Jews' who did it as the 'Career Politician High Clergy'. It was they who spurred on the crowd to choose to spare Barnabas (kind of like the MSM spurring on the anti-trump hatred and choice of Biden). They were still pissed at him for clearing out the temple square of moneylenders among other things.

#12  An argument for smaller government at a time when the Roman bureaucracy was growing increasingly more powerful and intrusive...and the dangerous folly of appointing bigots to govern over those they hate.

For perspective, Wikipedia has a long list of Jewish claimants to be the messiah that starts before Jesus and continues to the present day. The site has another list of messiah claimants from the Christian and Moslem traditions, which also continue to the present day.

As for me, I adhere to the American belief that a person is responsible for his own actions and sins, getting neither credit nor blame for those of his ancestors.

#11  John 10:18. "No one takes My life from Me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it up again."

#9  Besides, it wasn't Jews or Romans [although proper bastitches those Romans] who killed Jesus. The jewish clergy did demand his death, even when repeated attempts were made to free him, once even by Pilate. But to attribute the act of a certain section of 'austere scholars' to everyone in the land is daft.

If the Bible teaches us anything it was a) the deification of ideology above justice, b) hierarchical organized religion, and c) mobs given the power to have their way, that killed Jesus.

Of course this was written and therefore had to happen, as Sock Puppet rightly says, for our benefit [wretched sin sin sinners we]. But, I believe the event also proves a darker point inadvertently. That no matter what sort of compassion He comes down to us with, and what amount of service He renders to man as healer, savior, friend, teacher... God in any form is not welcome in the kingdom of man.

Awaiting His return... and the rod of iron.

#4  Jesus was the perfect lamb of God
He was born to die for the sins of mankind as a perfect sacrifice of atonement
His purpose was to die for our sins
Someone needs to study the Bible and understand the message of the Gospels

#1  I thought Bee. Wow.

I can politely pretend to understand the need for an official chaplain, but there's always some solid brother in every unit, a thinking man, who performs this role better this waste of a uniform.
