Open Letter To Charles Krauthammer Re:"The Passion"

[onyx]

This is quite a first post for you. Did you send it to Krauthammer or just post it here?

I note you have signed-on today.

[Clint Williams]

elsie, here's an opportunity to re-post your rebuttal.

Right on the mark, Stand4Truth. I was really disappointed in both Krauthammer and Mona Charon for their stand against this film, because both (and especially Krauthammer) are among my favorite conservative writers. They are usually so logical but this time they really got muddled by something, maybe just a reaction to years of antisemitism. But I thought they knew where the source of that lies - in paganism and Islamism (if that's a word), but certainly not in true Christianity.

As a Christian and not a historian I believe that;

1. Jesus Was the Son Of God.
2. Was Betrayed.
3. Was arrested.
4. Was Scourged.
5. Was Crucified.
6. Arose from the grave to show the way to eternal life.

Hint to Kraut: 1 & 6 are the important ones.

Excellent refutation.

You hit Krauthammer where it hurts - to his usually logical self. You are totally correct, his column is full of illogical and emotional leaps of faith (no pun intended)

[Stand4Truth]

I did send it to Krauthammer earlier today, and a friend recommended that I post it here also.

[onyx]

Good. Glad you sent it to him. His column was posted here and caused a little grief. I think it's over 650 comments now.

Welcome to FR.

That other thread turned real ugly, real fast.

And the Usual Suspects helped fan the flames.

[onyx]

Sure did. I read a lot of it and took a pass.

You're right, the usual suspects were all present and fanning the flames.

Wonderful post Stand4Truth. I was really disappointed with Krauthammer's piece. He was way off base, IMHO. You pointed that out with great eloquence. Thank you.

Correction: the ugly thread is at #865 posts:

Welcome to Free Republic.

Very well done letter to Krauthammer. Please let us know if you get a reply from him?

[The Mayor]

BUMP!!

WOW! That's hard to believe they were against it. But why should it be any different than in Jesus day when so many of the "Religious/Self righteous crowd missed what God was really doing and picked at petty stupid stuff.

[AmericaUnited]

crowd = "crowd that"

[rdb3]

All true Christians including myself believe that Christ died for the sins of all mankind everywhere for all time.

Please reconsider your statement. Rethink this clearly, please.

Krauthammer is a great political commentator, and a wise man.
