Lance Uppercut,its from the New International:

28Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

I think all religions are ridiculous; but, whatever floats your boat.

Me too. Especially atheism.

No one really knows what Jesus looked like. But he sure as shiat didn't have blue eyes and blonde hair like some of those stupid paintings...

For fark's sake, even a Redheaded Irishman would be dark and swarthy after living there for a short time.

How do I know? Ever look at what people from the Middle East look like?

hope this means Korn won't start sucking... I wonder who'll replace him... Wes Boreland from Limp Bizkit ?

What a dork.

I guess this means that Jesus thinks Korn was an overrated band. They suck. And most of you are probably going to hell. That is all. No wait, go ZAGS!

ericjohnson ... don't forget rich.

Come on now, think about it. A carpenter... in the desert? Kind of an uncommon trade, don't you think? And carpentry requires special tools, and they didn't have Ace Hardware stores on every other road. So you'd have to be fairly well off to begin with to be able to afford such uncommon tools-of-the-trade, and after you'd cleared that hurdle you would not have much competition for work - and the people who would be hiring would necessarily be RICH people. (Who can afford wood? It's the DESERT...)

Soph T:

"which verse says the tables were marble?"

Historical evidence, but nothing directly mentioned in the Bible... So, an educated guess of sorts.

The temples were pretty ornate because certain people were willing to cough up cash for the church, but not the starving masses, which also angered Jesus:

Luke 11:42"(C)But woe to you Pharisees! For you (D)pay tithe of mint and rue and every kind of garden herb, and yet disregard justice and the love of God; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.

(For Grins)
He also had nothing nice to say about lawyers:

Luke 11:46: But He said, "Woe to you [Matt 22:35; Luke 11:45, 52] lawyers as well! For [Matt 23:4] you weigh men down with burdens hard to bear, while you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

Jesus would be reviled by your conservative today

Random and nonsensical bible-quote tattoos? WHY SURE


Psalm 22:12 Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.

Daniel 6:18 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.

1 Kings 4:28 They also brought to the proper place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and the other horses.

Deuteronomy 8:4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.

ericjohnson0 : "Jesus was a good guy who preached love your neighbor, make peace and help the weak. In short, Jesus said some great stuff."

So how does a guy who claims to be THE actual Son of God, who claims to have been with God in the beginning, and who goes around telling everyone that he will die and then raise again from the dead, how does this guy lead you to believe that he was some sort of "free loving" hippy that defnines love as you see it. Like C.S. Lewis said, Jesus didnt give us that option. He is either a raving lunatic, a terrible liar, or he actually is who he claims to be. Instead of trying to put people into your box, why dont you try and learn what they are actually saying?

I have Matthew 10:34 tattoo'd on one ass cheek and Luke 12:49-51 on the other...

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." (Matthew 10:34)

"I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division." (Luke 12:49-51)

Korn announced Welch's resignation last month after 13 years with the band. Welch said he had become increasingly depressed and drug-addicted in recent years, but that religion helped him quit.

Now if only Fred Durst would find religion.

I know it's a funny story to a lot of people (I thought it was funny). Maybe he is totally out there like Ricky Williams. But, on the other hand, maybe he's actually found something meaningful for his life and he is happy with what he is doing. If that's the case, then good for him.
 
2005-03-08 01:43:26 AM
Good for him! I find it funny that people are persecuted whether they have a religion (which all religions have troubled pasts, not just Christianity) or just plain believe in God / Christ / Jehova / Buddha / etc.

It's sad, really. I think most people will call on God someday when they really need it most or are on their death bed.

he turned from drugs to christ,
christ means 'annointed one'
in Exodus 30:22-33 the recipe for the annointing oil is listed. Older Bibles will have "250 SHEKELS OF KANNABOSM"
on the list.
... academic sources who agree with benet's 1936 etymological identification of kaneh bosem and kaneh (a variety of spellings are used) being references to cannabis.

In 1980 the respected anthropologist Weston La Barre(1980) referred to the Biblical references to kaneh bosem in agreement with Benet in an essay on cannabis.

In that same year respected British Journal New Scientist also ran a story that referred to the Hebrew Old Testament references, (Malyon & Henman 1980).

A modern counterpart of the word is even listed in Ben Yehudas Pocket Dictionary and other Hebrew source books. Further, on line, the Internet's informative Navigating the Bible, used by countless theological students, even refers to the Exodus 30:23 reference as possibly designating cannabis.

More recently reknowned cannabinoid expert and historian Dr. Ethan Russo has concurred with this identification, as have classicist and linguists from Boston Univerisity Prof. Carl Ruck and Prof. Blaise Staples, along with Prof. Benny Shanon of the Hebrew university in Israel, botanist Robert Carnell Clarke and anthropologist Vera Rubin.
In fact when an article about the early Christian use of the cannabis based annointing oil for healing and other "miracles" garnered international attention, not one valid criticism came out of the whole thing, and what attempts there were simply strengthened the whole arguement when answers were put forth.


So Just Say No.

Of course and abolutely. However a brown Jesus doesn't market too well so he needed a few minor tweaks. People from the Near Middle East are brown enough that they would appear to be foreigners to the Europeans to whom the religion was to be sold. Plus there is the intrinsic and impenetrable belief that white means good. White people are white because they are good and in victorian times powder puffs supplied a quick moral boost into albino perfection.

I remember sitting in the theater to watch the lastest remake of Snow White with my kids. All was well until one character was explaining why Snow White was so beautiful and perfect. It was because she was soooooo WHITE. I was sort of surprised that my daughters and I were all looking at each other with jaws dropped in disbelief at the message "you can't be pretty unless you're white white WHITE".

But no, Jeshua ben Joseph if he existed probably would have looked like the classical pictures of Jesus in about the same way that Saddam looks like Carl Rove. Consider the gene stock and the area. He'd probably look something like:

When, exactly, did they not suck? I must've missed that era.

What I find tacky are all the farkers ripping on this dude for finding religion.

The rest of you are just too lazy and jaded to search for spiritual meaning in your pathethic lives.

Same knee-jerk spasming 'i am teh atheist!!1one!!eleven' that crawl out of the wordworks everytime an article even remotely related to Christianity gets posted.

Holy crap, newton. The "Gator" story is worse then I imagined.

The power of Christ compelled him...to viciously rape and murder his ex-girlfriend's best friend because she (the ex) wouldn't marry him.

I never bought a KoRn product, didn't care for the "Catchy" backwards R in the name, nor did I care for the mixing of cases within a word.

Twenty white robed Californians flying to Israel to be baptised in the same river Jesus was baptised in and one of them is a rock star? Not a huge stretch.

I've personally spent the last nine years of my life pondering the validity of religion. I choose not to follow religion becuase it makes absolutely no sense to me. That is not a lazy jaded opinion that is a well thought out and logical opinion. The God portrayed in the bible is not the God in the real world. I mean jesus christ little kids have their own cancers. What kind of God is that?

He probably doesn't mean in the 'Yo, what's up bro. Listen I have a job for you' sense. He probably just feels inside him that it's his "duty" :)

Take a look at your posts. You sound like an obvious asshole in both of them on this thread. Why should you be the only one allowed to sound like an asshole? Every other poster has the right to unintelligently spout off just like you did.

KoRn's CD's have been decling each time. I can listen to that first CD and it was brilliant. and as I listen to each CD I ussually hear good songs, but not as overall good as the previous... to bad.

Anyways if the guy thinks he can make meaning of his life, great, I hope he always feels it was a good personal choice.

Relax Tiger.
Just have yourself a cup of jesus juice, and relax.

Becoming a christian is sometimes just as easy a way
out as atheism, and agnosticism is.
You did mention something about being lazy.
I'm personally not doubting his special conversion, and
chances are, his new philosophy on life is just
as primitive as it was before. He just chose a new face
to associate with god.
At least that's the way I see it.
