The whole point of Jesus is that he’s a blood sacrifice to redeem people’s sins. He’s an infinitely good being, so his sacrifice has infinite value. The idea is that anyone who accepts Jesus into their heart can sacrifice him atemporally and get their sins redeemed.

Netanyahu seems to be attempting a genocide of the Jewish people by forcing them all to worship Jesus, by committing crimes in their name of a magnitude that perhaps no earthly ritual can repent.

      Well they can convert to the Norse faith and die in battle instead, but I feel that’s going to put even more distance between them and their cultural heritage, so same effect

        It doesn’t sound rational at all, that anyone would need to convert for some highly specific context. I also don’t see cultural heritage as a powerful motive to do some things, people can lose cultural heritage without even thinking. They might feel distant from a certain side.

          Well I guess it depends on whether Israel’s actions do actually represent the Jewish people. Netanyahu says they do, but I guess it’s Elohim’s choice in the end when it comes to assigning sin. Here’s hoping they don’t.

            Genocide isn’t a sin you have to repent for, it’s more along the lines of God’s will than a sin. Heck, God specifically directed people to do it multiple times in the old testament.

            Now if they condoned mass ‘wearing of garments sewn from two dissimilar fabrics’…that’s where they need someone to die to atone for their sins.

                ‘Murder’ doesn’t mean ‘kill’. Self defense isn’t murder, accidentally causing sometimes death isn’t murder, obeying God’s will isn’t murder. If God determines morality, there is nothing that can’t be made moral by defining it as his will.

                  Elohim doesn’t want the modern Palestinians dead. How many Jewish prophets have you seen in the last 500 years? None, because Elohim doesn’t want any deaths right now.
