UK newspaper: Jesus was a Palestinian

He was Palestinian.

As others have pointed out, this is not correct either. Palestine did not exist in Jesus time. What was called Palestine in later years was made up of various regions with different names, Judea was the region which contained Bethlehem, Nazareth was in Galilee. Samara was the region containing the northern portion of what is today called the West Bank, the southern portion was in what was Judea.

my question still stands. Who created God?

If you are serious in your quest, I suggest you read His biography (The Bible) which contains all the answers you need.

If you are not serious, and are looking for a debate on this holy day, then I suggest you log off and come back another time.

Merry Christmas!

[Gone_Postal]

It's nothing more than a question of faith

"So, you can't answer the question? Let me try this again, Who created God?"

As a card-carrying agnostic, I'll have to get back to you...

[lndrvr1972]

I agree there are Christian Palestinians..

[Nachum]

Who created God?

If he could be defined by his creation, what kind of God could he be?

[Eccl 10:2]

"I used to see some pretty rough Lacrosse games out of the Onondaga nation...."

And hear some blood-curdling screams while at the Nedrow Drive-In.

I used to live in Lafayette....sweet part of the country...I used to go to a tack store in Nedrow...

>>>>>>UK newspaper: Jesus was a Palestinian<<<<<

Of course he was. So were King David and all other Jews living in Palestine.

The hoax of Arabs being the only Palestinians is laughable.

For me, it doesn’t really matter.

First, even if one doesn't believe in Jesus, one cannot argue against the success that the West has had following Jewish (Jesus) "philosophy". Second, remember the masses choose Barabas over Jesus (earthly existence over Jesus philosophy) so his ancestral/tribal/ethnic affiliation didn't mean that much in the end. More importantly, given the points that you have made and many more, what cultures today would choose Barabas (selfish, earthly) over Jesus? Lastly, what cultures continued with a Roman conquer/control/enslave/tax existence and what cultures developed using Jesus "philosophy"? My how times have changed in 2,000 years!

Palestine was the Roman designation for the coastal area which is now Israel and Lebanon; like describing the area of New England.

No, Judea was. Precipitating and in the aftermath of the third great revolt, the Bar Kochba rebellion, of 132-135, the Romans tried to deJudaise Judea. For a time teaching of the Torah was forbidden and many scholars were killed, often burned alive. Not only was the land colonized but, Jews were essentially expelled from many Roman towns in Judea. The Romans then renamed Jerusalem "Aelia Capitolina" and put a pagan temple on it. While no one calls Jerusalem by the Roman imposed attempt at cultural genocide, people still use their appelation for Israel.

I suppose you think that Hiawatha was an American New Yorker, Justinian was Turk, Atilla was Russian, ....

I don't mean to mock you, but llok up the word "anachronism".

Furthermore the Muslims and their leftist allies are purposely distorting history.
David was the second king of a united Israel.
Jesus was a Judean and a Jew (follower of the southern tradition of the Mosaic faith, as opposed to the northern Samaritans).

I would, like to add this postscript to your list, in 1948 the arab population of Palestine was + - 10,000, mind boggling. For hundreds of years the arabs obviously had no interest in this sand pit, to do something with nothing you need intelligence.

Who created God?
I will try and explain, if a tree fell in the forest and there was nothing there to hear it, there would be no sound.
If there was no intelligent life, there would be no God,
to answer your question, WE DID!

"God did not impregnate Mary with seed that then mingled with her fallen egg"

Before you continue to walk around with your foot in your mouth, I would suggest looking up "Immaculate Conception". Google is your friend.

So, if I'm a "non-believer" you'll smite me with a zap? Ha, thank you for your christian generousity. Oh, and his personal biography, I believe that was writter well after his death by people who weren't even around.

[amakua]

That's the best answer I've seen yet.

[amakua]

BINGO. When we can't explain something scientifically, our fall back position is - GOD must have created it! But how did he create it? IT doesn't matter because GOD created it.
