The question is in reference to your Sunday post that god sent Jesus to die. I am having trouble understanding why only Pontius Pilate recognized that killing the sinless man was gods will. It is difficult for me to reconcile this. Please elaborate if you can find the time.
Only an atheist would ask such a stupid question. Though Pontius Pilate knew the charges against Jesus Christ were void of substance, because of his spineless politicism, he delivered the Son of God over to the rebellious Jews for crucifixion. He was not aware of the meaning of the sacrifice of Christ. Pilate was the governor of Judea who bowed to pressure from the chief priests and agreed to have Jesus crucified. Pilate did not want to execute Jesus. He questioned the chief priests, tried to give Jesus a pardon, and washed his hands, ceremonially showing he did not take responsibility for the sentence (Matthew 27:17-24). Even his wife begged him not to go forward with the chief priests' plans (Matthew 27:19). But he still authorized the crucifixion.
Well I am of firm conviction of the existence of God, so think what you will of my question, but if you believe I am being honest with you, and I am, I have zero doubt to the existence of god.
I also pay a significant amount of reverence to the book of Jeremiah, which to a layman like myself lays significant blame for societal calamity at the feet of some radical jews. This is quite similar to our present times where members of that tribe are inviting pestilence on to the goy they love to deceive.
The present media and moneyed elite (jew) deception of either being Christian or Atheist is another whopper they sell the masses. Our discourse is largely brokered by those who seek to divide and deceive for profit.
I truly believe in my heart we have in the future before us an age of renaissance and enlightenment or an age of tech reinforced tyranny. There are tech titans and moneyed interests who truly hold the high cards. God willing, there are some in that arena that will choose the possibility of enlightenment and renaissance over programming and censorship but it is an awful tough proposition as there are men who will makr the decisions that guide this, and even then a tough order for anyone to determine right and wrong. For me and mine have our chips on the possibility of real economy, buying local, not expecting a free ride through the voting system and a federal reserve willing to support the needs of independent business as much as they are willing to support the needs of big corporate and multinationals. Its a tall order but there are good open minded men at the Fed who understand these issues, and I expect they are up to the task of serving the Americans.
Thank you for responding. The wife snd I have followed your travails for perhaps over 10 years now, thanks for showing us what a determined 70+ year old man can accomplish when he sets his mind to it.
Sorry we didn't figure out a way to make the final couple miles when we came to see you. but it appeared impossible as the roads around the bar near Terlingua were impassable. Dont know if you remember us or who i am but we made it to the bar and hotel at Terlingua and there were downpours and we decided not to chance it going on your road. You were quite disappointed but that land out there is straight up greasy after heavy rain.
Well, I tried to buy one, but cannot. Will you oonsider alternative payment arrangements? I am even willing to send without recourse, because I trust you, but I am unable to make payment through the blue teams payment site. I am willing to send directly to you, I trust you will send the cross. Where can we do this outside of pay pal? Name the place and I will send you the money no question.
Full disclosure: The present blue political group disgusts me.
There is nothing nefarious about paypal and I have no idea what you mean by "blue team". You need to quit listening to Alex Jones. Send me cash if you are so inclined - my mailing address is easy to find (unless of course you think the USPS is part of the illuminati)....
The cross is 1" x 2" x 1/4" deep. The cross face is 1/8". The weight is approximately 24 grams (3/4 troy ounce). There is a small hole at the top and it comes with a 2mm round leather cord that is 34" long.
Posted on old thread but again here to understand your take:
ReplyDeleteDo you believe Pontius Pilate was doing Gods Work when he ordered Jesus crucifixion?

ReplyDeleteYou have a little too much "conspiracy theorist" in your tone. I am not interested in your debate. It is God vs Satan.

Buy a cross and support TFL if you have really been following my travails.
ReplyDelete10-4 will do, honest injun.

ReplyDeleteWhere other than paypal can I send you the money?
ReplyDeleteWhat are the dimensions and weight of the cross and is there a way to attach a chain or such for a necklace?
ReplyDeleteThe cross is 1" x 2" x 1/4" deep. The cross face is 1/8". The weight is approximately 24 grams (3/4 troy ounce). There is a small hole at the top and it comes with a 2mm round leather cord that is 34" long.
ReplyDeleteAfternoon John.... just put my order through. Guessing I should see it next week? Can't wait to see it and add to my TFL silver collection. Rita B
ReplyDeleteThanks Rita B. Cross orders will begin shipping Monday - in the order they were received.
ReplyDeleteI would like to place an order for 1 cross as a gift for my Pops if you still have some -- how do I go about doing that?
