From the Biblical record, we have note of 7 different groups/types of people who refer to Jesus as “Rabbi” or “Teacher” (the rough translation): His disciples (Mark 9:5, Mark 11:21 etc.); Pharisees (John 3:1-2); John the Baptist’s disciples (John 1:35-38); Common people (Mark 10:51, John 6:24-25); Torah teachers (Matthew 8:19); Herodians (Luke 3:12); and the Sadducees (Matthew 22:23-32). Additionally, he refers to himself by this title (John 13:12-14, Luke 22:10-11).
The title ‘Rabbi’, in first-century contemporary literature, could refer both to Torah teachers (”Teachers of the Law”) and sages/rabbis with s’mikah (authority). Jesus, who was clearly recognized by this title, would have fallen into one of these two categories, though clearly – from scripture – it was the latter.

So you can't find any proof that Jesus wasn't actually a Jew?
& you choose to obfuscate instead of righting your wrongs.
If you claim that Jesus wasn't a Jew, which he clearly & admittedly was when he said he came to fulfil the laws of the Prophets...
Maybe you're not right about anything in this thread & refuse to see it.

If you ever drink at all you a bs muslim...
Judge much?
Islam states this as one of its pillars, how am I judging?
It is a fact.
No muslim is aloud to to drink alcohol ever, for any reason.
If he drinks and wants to drink he is not a muslim thus is full of bs.
Lots of Muslims who consider themselves very Muslim drink.
That is like calling yourself christian and breaking all tje ten commandmets, minus the forgiveness.
Muslims are banned, point blank, no arguement, no but ifs, no extenuating cases from ever drinking alcohol.
If they drink alcohol they are not muslim by the muslim faiths rules.
If they drink alcohol, they are not muslim, that is a fact.

Cause it is true.
These are some sick and sadistic people and they look for a reason to justify thier actions and using the name of god is a great one.
There is billions of people that follow this religion that don't do things like this, but guess that doesn't matter if a small percentage wants to act like barbarians.
My question is how a book/religion that claims peace is SO misinterpreted as to allow violence on this level. Everyone says there is nothing violent in it, but I fail to see how a book with no violence in it can be interpreted as such.
I mean, I read children's books everyday with my kids, and while nowhere near the same type of literature, I could not for the life of me come up with a way to make "The Pout Pout Fish" a violent book nor teach any sort of violence from it....it just isn't there. So how is a book about peace from a religion about peace being SO misconstrued as to allow this type of interpretation. Surely there is SOMETHING in this religious book that is able to be interpreted in a very violent manner.

Maybe we should ask our super best friends and bestest of allies Saudi Arabia to stop funding them now.
And why haven't we bombed them (the Saudis), considering all of the other countries that we did find some trumped up reason to bomb????

And there are a significant number of Muslims who aren't going around beheading people either. What's your point?
There is a large culture of devout Muslims who aren't hurting anyone. There is a sub-culture of angry, violent, controlling people who want some kind of revenge. It's not the religion that's the problem. It's that sub-culture.
Maybe those large groups of devout muslims who hurt nobody should stand up for their religion by actually doing something against those who are giving the so called religion of peace a bad name but they won't because they would go against their book.

See, that's the problem, it's sub-culture of Islam. Meaning Islam is the root of that culture. I agree there are millions upon millions of peaceful Muslims in the world, but as many have said, there's not enough moderate Muslims standing up and trying to REMOVE this violent sub-culture from their ranks. They're not fighting against them. They're sitting quietly by as people who claim to be in the same faith run about beheading people, razing villages, selling slaves, oppressing women, and generally just being backasswards.

If there was a group of Christian Radicals going around bombing schools, killing atheists and whatnot, you can bet there'd be HOARDS of christians signing up to wipe these people out. Where's the uproar in the muslim community?
