that is seriously one of the most uneducated comments i have ever read and def something that comes from a leftist mouth....
im on neither end of the spectrum (left/right) and i have never heard anyone on the right deny that Jesus came from the middle east...if they did well they would be proven wrong in no time
Dude, I don't know where you live, but here in southern Illinois it doesn't matter where a person is from...but when it comes to anyone of middle eastern decent, it's "kill 'em all".
THAT is the person who would be shocked if they were to find out Jesus is a middle eastern man.
Well... the way I see it...
Why would Jesus come to save America? Really. Why do we need to be saved from our comfortable, middle-class, well fed, not living with the possibility of having our heads removed with a machete in the middle of the night lives?
Let's pretend i was a descent person... like the ones who will be saved by Jesus... and He came to my comfortable air conditioned home in sunny, Orange County, California while i was sitting on my comfy sofa, watching 'Law and Order' re-runs on the t.v. while in the middle of eating a delicious toasted Subway meatball/pepperoni sandwich and an ice cold cervesa Corona. Jesus says, "I'm here to save you, dude... because you are a descent person".
You know what I would say? I'd say, "Thanx, bud... but, you know what? I'm pretty comfortable over here in sunny Orange County, California... How 'bout you go save the poor bastards in Darfur and places like that, first? I mean... no disrespect... you can come and get me later, because i DO want to go... but, those poor saps over there (and a million other places in this world) are WAAAAY worse off than me. Come get me on the return trip... I'll be waiting.
Oh... and you want a beer?"
...
In other words... I've decided to follow Jesus's teaching and try to live my life in the manner of which He spoke... not in the manner of the religions that speak in His name. I am not going to sit around, waiting for the Second Coming of Jesus to save me... instead, I have decided to save myself by following His guidance, seeing His second coming as already come in the act my life trying to follow in His footsteps. Sure, I know there is no way I can be like Jesus.... but, I can do my best to follow teachings.
And His teachings leads me to believe that He will come to save the peole who are suffering in the world... even the ones that don't believe in Him. Not those of us living in america. To me... that would have been like Jesus saving the people of Rome's souls, before the souls of the people of Israel.
...
But... that's just me.

I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire
I really wonder if Jesus (real or not, my jury is still out on this one) were to come back and just walk around and try to board an airplane...would he get "randomly selected" for further inspection.
Just me thinking out loud on here.
You should probably think out loud a little more quietly

i live right by you in St. Louis and i get that some people's mentality is to "kill all middle easterners" but thats because of what happened on 9-11...same thing happened during the Vietnam War and the sentiment was felt in all the other wars, not that it should be condoned but thats how it is..some people feel threatened by middle easterners after 9-11 and have become suspect of all of them...call it racism or paranoia, these are the times we live in, right or wrong

Frankly, I think those people are ignorant dumbasses who'd use any excuse to hide behind their racism.

that i agree with you on
and yeah maybe you have a point about some Christians not acknowledging Jesus is Jewish but its not a leftist/rightist thing
