Hold Jesus Accountable

Most Christians see Jesus as separate from YHWH, the murdering brute of the Old Testament.

But according to the Bible itself, and the Church, Jesus is One with God.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." John 1:1-3

Jesus is One with the God of the Old Testament. He was there for the murder of every child, every infant, every person who God slaughtered.

Free will, you say? How can a person have free will when God will simply murder them for choosing to live life according to their own will?

When we think about the world we live in, and the horrid way we treat each other today, much of it comes from learned behavior: it comes from what we have been taught to believe.

And the god of the Bible, and his son Jesus, should not be worshipped: they are man-made myths that we have turned into vengeful, ruthless child-killing characters.
