If that's not vulgarity and violence, I don't know what is. If you want vulgar/violent books banned, the Bible is the FIRST one you should put on the list. If you don't want the bible banned, then maybe - don't have that rule?

What about your Talmud?

If someone feels the Talmud fits the same category, then it should also be removed. OR - as I suggested - the law retconned and let students read these things FREEly - because y'know - land of the Free and all that.

Was Jesus woke? After all, he cared about the poor. Maybe the Bible should be banned for that reason.

It should be banned from the entire state of Florida - you know, where Woke goes to Die.

Jesus cared not just -about- the poor, but he cared FOR the poor. He fed them. He told his disciples to love the foreigner. He had a love affair with a prostitute. His mother was -not- impregnated by her husband, and he was okay with that. He was also a proponent of the separation of Church and State (the whole "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's" bit in the synoptic gospels).

So basically - he was a democratic socialist. Definitely woke, no doubt about it.

Looks like Jesus will cease to be risen right here in the Free State of Florida - where Woke goes to Die.

… in prayer ‘try some of this on’!

🙏

John 3:16

John 14:6

John 16:33

Philippians 4:6-8

Philippians 2:9-11

Because of that obedience, God lifted him high and honored him far beyond anyone or anything, ever, so that all created beings in heaven and on earth—even those long ago dead and buried—will bow in worship before this Jesus Christ, and call out in praise that he is the Master of all, to the glorious honor of God the Father.

Isaiah 41:10

Joshua 1:9

2 Corinthians 5:17

… there are MANY other ‘reminders’ of God’s LOVE & CHRIST’s sacrifice for all of us!

… I know some of you get uncomfortable regarding the Bible … obviously I don’t. I don’t have that many days left on this earth. Sharing some of these verses makes this day a lot better!

Interesting assumptions, but you really shouldn't misinterpret the Bible by stating that Jesus had an affair with a prostitute. Until your comment, I had actually believed that you might have studied Christianity. I will suggest that those that make fun of GOD, distort/pervert HIS word, do so at their own peril. I find it ironic that you accuse others of "hating."

Hmmm, are you sure that you understand the term "WOKE?" Hint: it is NOT synonymous with charity. I don't think that Jesus was thinking of African Americans and their perception of injustice. Just a guess.

"What about it?" = You're ok with the jewish talmud.

I asked how YOU felt about the talmud, not other people.

You avoided the question = support.

That's not true. You're lying and we know why, Mintzer.

Anyone can go back and read her answer.

Please enlighten us with your definition of woke and why it must die.

She has stated that she doesn't believe in the teachings and that she is only "culturally" Jewish... Her words, not mine...

Oh, and please tell me "why" I'm lying... And who is "we"?
