…a 30 minute video

I like watching his videos, but I usually stick to the shorter ones (his videos can be quite long). I watched this one because of the title, and I agree with what he has to say – and am concerned. He brings up the antisemitism bill that was passed in the house…

“Ranting about the college protests and comparing the media/public reaction to them to the reaction from the “mostly peaceful” protests from 2020. Also, talking about the new bill the house passed and what it means for free speech and the truth.”

some comments from the video…

~ “Those kids should have every right 2 peacefully protest!! I would absolutely 100% say that even if i COMPLETELY disagreed with their point of view.”
~ “Israel is a people not a country. When the Bible says pray for Israel it is not saying pray for the specific lands that are inside a specific border as opposed to other lands that are outside of that border”
– “For some reason, most do not realize this”
~ “The leaders of that country also wanted to make it a criminal offense to talk about Jesus. God’s people??”

“Rights groups, however, have raised concerns the definition nevertheless conflates criticism of the state of Israel and Zionism with anti-Semitism. In a letter sent to lawmakers on Friday, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) urged House members to vote against the legislation, saying federal law already prohibits anti-Semitic discrimination and harassment. The bill is “therefore not needed to protect against anti-Semitic discrimination”, the letter said. “Instead, it would likely chill free speech of students on college campuses by incorrectly equating criticism of the Israeli government with anti-Semitism.”” (aljazeera)… I know, aljazeera, but sometimes we have to go there, to get info. Also, if they are banned – for whatever reason – there must be something to what they are saying. Anyway, this bill is scary and could become a problem for free speech, as JC says in the video… I’ve warned about NOAHIDE (Zionism Exposed) I think it’s coming. Probably sooner rather than later.

H.Res.894 — 118th Congress (2023-2024): (congress.gov)… “Strongly condemning and denouncing the drastic rise of antisemitism in the United States and around the world.”

With Noahide laws, saying the name “Jesus Christ” is punishable by beheading.
Is this new law going to lead to this? Maybe? But, it (the antisemitic law) does limit free speech, and religious freedom (in the US). Scary times.

Trial before Pilate: urantia.com (urantia book/standardized paper) …“SHORTLY after six o’clock on this Friday morning, April 7, a.d. 30, Jesus was brought before Pilate, the Roman procurator who governed Judea, Samaria, and Idumea under the immediate supervision of the legatus of Syria. The Master was taken into the presence of the Roman governor by the temple guards, bound, and was accompanied by about fifty of his accusers, including the Sanhedrist court (principally Sadduceans), Judas Iscariot, and the high priest, Caiaphas, and by the Apostle John. Annas did not appear before Pilate.”“When Jesus and his accusers had gathered in front of Pilate’s judgment hall, the Roman governor came out and, addressing the company assembled, asked, “What accusation do you bring against this fellow?” The Sadducees and councilors who had taken it upon themselves to put Jesus out of the way had determined to go before Pilate and ask for confirmation of the death sentence pronounced upon Jesus, without volunteering any definite charge. Therefore did the spokesman for the Sanhedrist court answer Pilate: “If this man were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up to you.””… They, the Jews, try ever so hard to say that it was the Romans that crucified Jesus/Yeshua/The Messiah. While it is true that the Romans did technically crucify him, it was the Jews who put them there. I long read, but well worth it.

Matthew 27: 17-24 (NIV)
…want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah? 18 For he knew it was out of self-interest that they had handed Jesus over to him 19 While Pilot was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him a message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him. 20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed. 21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas”, they answered. 22. “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They answered, “Crucify him!” 23 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” 24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood.” he said…

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene:
“As a Christian, I believe the gospel in full, every letter.
“The gospel says Jesus, a Jewish man – son of God – Messiah, was handed over to be crucified (killed) by the chief priest, the elders, and the Jewish crowd which was prophesied in Isaiah 53.
It is not antisemitic to say this and believe it.
“Convicting me and any Christian of antisemitism, who believes or says this, is actually an attack on Christians.
“I will not compromise my faith at all to avoid wrongful name calling.
“I voted NO to the Antisemitism bill because of this.”

Scary and dangerous times indeed.

hope you have a great day!
thanks for stopping by!!
