I wouldn't be happy that anyone was murdered who doesn't deserve it.

I wouldn't wish death upon anybody except for the people who have done more harm to people than good and with harmful intentions (hitler, Stalin, mussolini, etc)

As much as I would like obama to be gone. I do not wish him dead, not anyone who hold the office. Or anyone for that matter

Scarface you are a true liberal idiot. Disagreeing with someone's policies is clearly different than hating him. You are what makes politics so bad. It's what you and your party call us with no reasonable cause.

I can't fathom being happy about assassination. There are cases where I'd be relieved, but certainly not happy! But those would be extreme cases with figures far more sinister than any US president.

How does it not? All other Hebrew prophecies came true. God did choose the Jewish people to be His messengers, why do you think they have been hated so much.

Mattwall1
10/23/14 9:53 am

Yeah... The reason we've been hated has more to do with people thinking we killed Jesus and with rejecting biblical prophecy. I'm assuming most of the prophecies you're claiming as having been true (something I think well have to disagree on) are

droo Santa Barbara

All other Hebrew prophecies have come true? Probably because they're vague things like "there will be wars and rumors of wars", " there will be famine", "there will be false prophets". -_- Come up with a real prophecy, God.

Mattwall1
10/23/14 9:57 am

Late-it may suit your narrative to say that Jews are hated because of prophecies. It doesn't line up because A, prophecy is, frankly, bull, and B, it simply just doesn't line up with the historical reasons why people themselves have said they hate

It's God the world hates, and Jews represent God and are His chosen people.

10/23/14 4:52 pm

Again, where did I state that people hate Jews because of prophecy? Why would people hate Jews because of prophecies about their own people?

I said the world hates God, therefore hates Gods chosen people. I've said that twice now.

SugarShaq
10/23/14 4:59 pm

And Matt, the bible quotes were for drooski who said come up with a real fulfilled prophecy. Three different Hebrew prophets, same prophecy re Israel fulfilled. God Himself could stand in front of people and they would still deny His existence.

All three of those "prophecies" referred to the same thing- the creation of a Jewish state. The prediction of a gathering of similar people to form a country, and without a specified date, is hardly impressive.

Mattwall1
10/23/14 5:15 pm

Yes, dozens can explain a broad prophecy to explain something that is a goal for more Christians than Jews (despite claims of yours in the past) and likely to cause a massive war. That's not proof. If someone thousands of years ago said one day in

Ok then, how does a group consisting largely (though not entirely) of secular Jews, a number of whom were labor zionists, even for with biblical prophecy? I have an odd feeling whoever wrote that down did NOT mean that to happen.

SugarShaq
10/23/14 5:53 pm

These prophecies were written hundreds of years before Jews were scattered to the four corners of the earth. (So, it's just coincidence that they were driven out of the land and then brought back. The temple will rebuilt, too....coincidentally.)

That Mortal Kombat movie was fairly good. The sequel was god awful though. They tried to squeeze in too many characters and none had any development. Not to mention, only 2 of the original cast returned. The rest were awful recasts.
