Quote# 49584

From the irony department:...

(Q: Is Jesus a hypocrite?

Jesus states "But anyone who says 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell." Mat 5:22


But then Jesus says...

"You fools!" (Jesus) Luke 11:40
"You blind fools!" (Jesus) Mat 23:17
"How foolish you are" (Jesus) Luke 24:25
"But God said to him, 'You fool!' " (Jesus) Luke 12:20)



A:
When Jesus says it, it is righteous truth. Jesus cannot sin and Jesus can do no wrong.

I think I can see Chris' logic, but can we still classify this as an epic fail?

So, yes, Jesus/God is a hypocrite?

What do you mean by "righteous" truth? Is it absolute or relative?

Example: If Jesus was human and since all humans are invariably sinful, how can he not sin? If he was god, then his sacrifice on a cross is meaningless and unnecessary.

Shall we go back to the original question now?

Jesus can do anything he wants because he is just a piece of fiction and was never real.

Nothing to do with the fact that the same English word "fool" is here being used to translate two different words is it?

Not that the first is actually an Aramaic term of abuse used to belittle people and the others are the word for those who refuse to live their lives a "wise" way (ie: following justice etc see the Hebraic Wisdom tradition).


This shows nothing about Jesus - merely the fundie's lack of biblical knowledge (and a slightly disturbing temptation in we "non-fundies" not to check out the background but to jump on the bandwagon that takes the translation at apparent facevalue and fits an agenda about Jesus! ;-) )

Freedom Bound, if they're not going to do the research on their OWN religion, why the hell should we?

Jesus cannot

So, he's not omnipotent after all? Rats.

They will use the same argument when one criticizes gods behavior according to the old testament.

Obviously everything god does is per definition good and just, no matter how evil and unjust it may appear :D
(aside from the fact [acording to fundamentalists] that god doesn´t have to obey the rules he made because he was the one who made them :D )

Jesus cannot sin and Jesus can do no wrong.

I've got 50 bucks right here that says Jesus used to spank it with his mother's underwear.

I thought one of the things Jesus was all about was that he was also a sinner, you know he said "he who is without sin cast the first stone" and all that. I don't remember him throwing any stones.

Sounds like Jeebus got himself a nice warm seat waiting for him.

Are you suggesting that I am a liar, you fool?

Religion has you brainwashed to the point that you will twist logic and reason so as to justify a dichotomy.

"Jesus cannot sin and Jesus can do no wrong."

This is called "special pleading". Try to be more original next time.

Ahh, special pleading - possibly the most pathetic of all logical fallacies.

These people react more or less the same way when their priests are caught doing unmentionable things to the altar boys, or when their local 'pastor' of the mega-church is a homosexual drug addict who just got caught...

It scares me that these people give themselves so willingly to obviously corrupt authority. Such devotion gives too much power to evil lying charlatans.

If Jesus was born as human, then wouldn't he be an auto sinner like every other child?

Oh right, rules do not apply to him

So jeebus is saying "I'm rubber, you're glue"?
