Yeah, but the Pharisees weren't running around saying have me as your king or you will be brought forth and slayed before me.
Exodus 21:17
Whoever curses his father or his mother shall be put to death.
Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property
Exodus 22:2
“If a thief is caught breaking in at night and is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed; 3 but if it happens after sunrise, the defender is guilty of bloodshed.

Preaching a gospel of peace and threatening the local Roman leader without an accusation or proof of a crime worthy of capital punishment are two totally different animals.
That's not very peaceful to threaten the local Roman authority or any authority simply for not having a man be your king.
I mean if a homeless man or construction worker was running around saying bow down and have me as your king or I will have you killed would you consider that peaceful.
Healing sick people and walking on water is one thing. Ric Ocasek of the Cars walked on water in one of his music videos with the band The Cars, but Ric Ocasek never said bow to me as king or I will have you killed.
The Bible should list a crime worthy of death committed by the local Roman authority to give Christ the authority to make such a threat. At the point that Christ made that threat it's understandable why the local Roman gov't had him killed. Inciting violence is something that is not tolerated even today

the revelator (john) was in a roman prison when he wrote the text of revelation.

rome was actively persecuting the christians. using them as human torches to light their garden parties. feeding them to lions. crucifying them. and so on and so on. not to mention, john's prophecy was almost entirely about events happening at that moment where he was in the timeline and forward to the end of the human dispensation on earth.

the synagogue of satan is the temple of enlil. enlil was a hard core anunnaki, who happened to be in possession of this planet -- it was his real estate. the owner of this planet, the text of the bible identifies as satan. this is quite biblical (and quite evident). his symbol was the crescent moon and star. as a result, islam is automatically of the temple of enlil. and because of their allegiance to the rcc, there's a very good chance the rcc is also of the temple of enlil, in fact, since the rcc owns the planet, it's likely they are directly answering to enlil.

Jesus wasn’t saying, have me as your King or else etc…
;;;;;;;--------------
For the second time!, Jesus was not threatening anybody, he was pointing out (in Luke 19:11-27) how that type of Kingly rule was wrong, and unrighteous etc...and how that King was reaping the benefits, of off the backs of others, essentially a form of Usury…Jesus was just using a parable to show that this was wrong.

To have a faulty premise as a foundation will only lead to false assumptions that are not The Truth.

You do realize there’s already a LOT of paganism, which can be found within Christianity…right…?

If you have access to Google, then you shouldn't have to ask. As one of the youngest religions in the world, Christianity is about as original as the English language.edit on 14-7-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
The Old Testament says that rape is okay as long as you marry the girl afterwards.

To read this particular line on a religious thread is hilarious. I applaud your tenacity and dearly hope that one day you will recognise the full implications of your own words here.

Actually they're pretty good examples, but I guess my meaning flew right over your head.
Just because Earth is inanimate doesn't mean it's not alive, just like a flower is inanimate but alive. The fact is life only springs from life, and since we sprung from the Earth, that means the Earth is alive.
You have a very narrow view on things.
