This "came" to me today, and I would like to share a little thought with my Orthodox Chaverim on this website. We have hashed and rehashed about exactly how well Yeshu failed as a prophet. The Olivet failures, etc., really only show the tip of the iceberg, in my opinion. Here is my question:

Since the inception of Christianity, per se, in the fourth century c.e., there has been little but tragedy invoked in his name. Let's get down to it, shall we? I read Christian after Christian claiming "oh, that's just the early church", or, "that's just the Catholics", or "that's just the Protestants."

There's a fundamental flaw in your statement and in almost all the opinions others expressed on this topic is lack of proper definition of Christianity.
Without this definition your statement and most of the respondents is just CHRISTIAN HATE MONGERING.

The line between COUNTERMISSIONARY and CHRISTIAN HATE MONGERING is very very broad. Yet somehow your statement and others crossed the line !
As an evangelical christian this quite painful to me.

You could have had something worthy of debate if you were to show from the Gospels (the only account of Jesus life/teaching acceptable to all Christians) that Jesus himself (THE ROOT) commanded/taught or personally killed someone or encouraged anyone to kill Jews/people. Or at the BAREST MINIMUM show (by any means) that any of the disciples killed a Jew or anyone.

Mat 5:11
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. (KJV)

The audience He was addressing here were ALL (or almost all) Jews!


The average (perhaps all) Jihadist, Moslem fundamentalist in Indonesia, Pakistan or Somalia (far from Israel) hates Jews not because of any bitter experience from a personal interaction with a Jew !
No one around here is naive to think land is the reason for the Palestinian hatred of the Jews -I think.
Could the spirit that controls them and "stuff" Mohammed said in their book (Koran) have something to do with it?

On the issue of false prophet/prophecy you have to narrow it down to specific statements Jesus made. The Olivet discuss is way too broad.
