Not having been around at the time, I don’t possess the evidence to choose among the often contradictory characteristics attributed to Jesus/Yeshua. I just hope he didn’t dye his beard !…

This is absolutely beautiful. Well done, Mr. Fish.
According to Islam, if Osama followed it, Jesus is not denied. He is a prophet rather than a deity–which is the Christian belief. However, my interpretation of this cartoon is a riff on Jesus’ ‘Love your enemy’ according to Christian teachings. In the case of the US of A, there is no need to love Osama, simply try to figure out ‘why’. Why on earth would Middle Easterners be unhappy with the US? What is their motive to be angry? Mr. Fish, however, is going one deeper, ;love your enemy’. Christ was an Anarchist.
Sorry Dave, but if Hilter and Osama did not accept Jesus prior to dying than they will not be in Heaven. No man comes to the Father except through Him. Forgiveness is something else entirely.

Do you think Jesus is only in Heaven? He is everywhere, and where ever He is He loves Osama. To do otherwise would be a repudiation of all He lived and died for. So whereever Osama landed, Jesus was there to greet him as Fish has depicted. If you do not believe this, then you do not believe in Christ

Krista – i hate to be the one to tell you that your infantile belief in an infantile fairy-tale of a heaven and hell created by an allegedly ‘unconditionally-loving’ Father-God simply shows your pathetic intelligence quotient but your moral quotient… to help crawl out of the infantile box of belief you have locked yourself into, you might contemplate the concept of ‘unconditional love’ – and understand that the Son of your Father-God is also allegedly unconditionally loving…
so the belief that an unconditionally-loving God could even consider creating a ‘hell’ much less actually create one forthe crimew of non-belief is tantamount to you believing you love your parents unconditionally while pouring gasoline on them and lighting them on fire because they don’t believe you are the best daughter in the world… l
ove is always and only unconditional, as is forgiveness – as soon as a condition is placed on love or forgiveness it is no longer love nor forgiveness… ‘conditional love’ is the ultimate oxymoron… love is not a verb (as in “I love you”) – it is a state of Being, as in “I Am love”… to begin to find the way out of your infantile box of belief, stop using ‘love’ as a verb (“I love you, I love this, I love that…”) and begin to expand your connection with everything…
what you believe is ‘love’ is simply varying degrees of ATTACHMENT… when you say “I love you” to your mother, you are in reality simply saying “I am very attached to you”, and when you say “I love chocolate”, you are saying “I am attached to chocolate” but not to the degree of the attachment to your mother…
Jesus (Yeshua) became God Conscious by simply understanding the truth of love and LOVING ALL EQUALLY without exception – which is why he said “God is love”…
when the sense of separation and distinction is absent – you have become (unconditional) love…
“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us “Universe”, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself [We esxperience ourselves], his [our] thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his [our] consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion [love] to embrace all [ALL] living creatures and the whole [WHOLE] of nature [Nature] in its beauty.” -Einstein [interpolated by dragonfly]

Boom! Nailed it! Note the “all men” in 1 Tim 4:10. Even Osama, even Adolf. Sorry Christians, you’re going to have to share Heaven with everyone :oP

Note the “those who believe” in 1 Tim 4:10.

It says ESPECIALLY those who believe! Not exclusively, not only, not just…especially. And brother, anything less is selling your Saviour short and you do not want to do that or you’ll be doing some serious teeth gnashing.
when the sense of separation and distinction is absent – you have become love…
or as Yeshua put it – God is love…
Like patriotism, freedom and justice Christianity is just another word to be plyed and nuanced to the benefit of wealth and power-hungry demigods.
Jesus sure talked a lot about His Father!
The Person Who was very proud of Him!

Wow – I never knew Jesus was that tall!

Pleased to make your acquaintance, Mr. Fish. Lou Netter put me onto this site and I’ll be back frequently. Keep up the good work.
