Was Jesus a "spiritual terrorist" because He said "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man comes to the Father except by Me"?

The Turtle Island Project believes we should all do as Jesus preached - socials issues like lack of health care, poverty, racism were all things Jesus would have fought against.

A spiritual terrorist is someone who holds other people's religions against them and declares there religion is the one and only - better than anyone else.

Personally I believe we all pray to the same God even is we walk different paths to get there.

[YOOPERNEWSMAN]

I believe that those who wrote the Bible were merely mortal and did the best they could, but did not always get everything absolutely 100% perfect - not to mention the many translations of translations - which always changes meaning even if in a small way.

We all search for the Lord - and as a Christian I don't proclaim to have the one and only divine map to get there.

[YOOPERNEWSMAN]

If you believe that everything in the Bible was 100% completely and totally accurate the exact way Jesus said it - I don't think Jesus would want you holding it against other faith traditions who have similar but different beliefs.

As the volunteer media guy for the Turtle Island project, I'll make sure Rev. Hubbard sees your question in case he cares to comment.

I don't speak for him.

They were mortals - inspired by the Holy Spirit. The original autographs were perfect.

I would agree we need to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and address social issues.

But what do you make of God condemning the Israelites for picking up the pagan practices and idolatry in the OT? (Idolatry was condemned in the NT as well)

Do you think the Ten Commandments are irrelevant? Did you notice in the NT where Jesus condemned the Jewish leaders for their perverted relious practices? Would you not give the truth someone who was practicing witchcraft or animism?

[YOOPERNEWSMAN]

I don't think the 10 commandments are irrelevant.

If you mean "no other Gods before me" - I believe those who prary to a higher power are praying to the same God - not different Gods.

I don't know anyone who worships idols - and if I did I would not condemn the person - I would think they are seriously mistaken.

Depedns what you mean by pagan - in today's world pagan sometimes refers to Earth Based cultures - like Native Americans and whom am I to say their visions are not real.

[YOOPERNEWSMAN]

I am sure people would question someone today who said a spirit/God made an appearance as it's told in the Bible.

Watched a History Channel (or Discovery - not sure) show today that showed how unlikely certain things in moden Christian dogma were unlikely true accounts - as it stated that Jesus was farm more likely to speak to small groups - than thousands at one time on the mountain - for reasons that include few could hear his voice if there were thousands present

[YOOPERNEWSMAN]

Your other points

I don't consider witchcraft a religion.

A lot of Christians claim they want to help the poor etc. but do little to actually make it happen - or help just enough for appearances.

If Jesus were alive today - he'd be walking in our worst slums, in poorests areas in Appalachia, in poverty stricken Native American reservations in the heartland like South Dakota that look like third world countries.

Jesus said "Blessed are the poor" but most "Christians today don't think so.

Intigrate Islam into Native American Culture, Walk the Red Road, and the Red Circle will truly be complete. Allah will reward thoses of our people greatly as we accept what was lost to us. In the Honorable Koran, Allah, the creator makes references that there infact was a globe world on the other side of the globe. The honorable Koran makes references that there are two Easts, and Two Wests.

[YOOPERNEWSMAN]

I am Turtle island Project volunteer media guy - and mukataniwa2009 - I agree - but would add in addition to Islam - intigrate all religions that believe in non-violence to truly complete the circle.

Islam is vital part of that circle.
