I think July 1st 1867 Canada officially became a country.
Basically the same meaning as Independance day I guess.

Just because there's some ignorant fool on YouTube making that claim doesn't make it true.
For one, why do you think the Old Testament (Jewish Bible) is included in the Christian Bible? Was Jesus born to some sort of people who weren't religious, and/or worshipped Zeus or some other Greek or Roman god?
What it comes down to is that the Jesus mentioned in the existing New Testament, a product of the Roman Catholic Church, most certainly depicts Jesus as a follower of the Jewish faith, and whose "Father" is the God of the Old Testament.
As far as who Jesus ACTUALLY was, well that's highly debatable. I lean on the side of the Essene tradition, as it makes the most sense out of the sort of person Jesus was SUPPOSED to be, ie. Golden Rule, turn the other cheek, etc..

Right, because they were basically committing sacrilege by peddling their wares in a Holy Temple.

BTW IATL, I guess you don't believe that stuff about Moses or how God created Man in Their own Image, right?

Paul was an agent of Rome, and never met Jesus. Paul persecuted the true followers of Jesus, and had them rounded up and murdered.
That's if THOSE historical legends are indeed true. If you look at the links I provided, you'll find that the very body which spawned modern day Christianity admits that the New Testament didn't exist till the 4th century, ie. over 400 years after the birth of Jesus. So NONE of the "letters" from any of the apostles are legitimate, they are all forgeries.
Again, even excluding the very real fact that the New Testament was basically the creation of authors commissioned by Constantine, I can't see how you can deny that the Jesus of the Bible was Jewish. Do you not believe anything in the Old Testament?
"The real deal is this: the royalty controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen
Do you really believe that? Do you even know what the Old Testament is? The first 5 books of the Old Testament is the JEWISH TORAH.
"The real deal is this: the royalty controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen

i love a good debate, but bickering about religion is one thing i have very little interest in. particularly on the internet. that doesn't mean i think everone is correct in their own beliefs though, because that's indifferentism / relativism, which i strongly disapprove of. the freemasons are big on that. i'm reading a book on it now, by an ex 33 degree mason. fascinating & sick stuff.

Nice story, but where are the references? Anybody can write a story, in fact, I could write a story how the earth was created by a magi sitting in a spaceship, doesn't mean it's true.

Let me guess, you think that Paul had one on one conversations with Jesus, eh?
Paul never met Jesus, in fact he WAS a Roman agent while Jesus was alive. You don't even know your own religion.

Interesting thing about that. If you were to read the Gospels in the order in which they were written, you'd notice that in the first one, Mark, it's the Romans who are the villians. Under most circumstances, earlier sources are more accurate than later ones.
With the passage of time, each additional Gospel shifted more of the blame to the Jews, until by the time John was written poor old Pontius Pilate was as much of a victim of the Jews as was Jesus.
Writers tailor their material to the times they're writing in, and the old timers were no different. As Christianity grew as a religion, the hostility between it and Judaism became more pronounced.

One last picture to close out the jews sordid little adventure with the Son of God:

If Jesus says their father is the devil and Jesus is a Jew then His Father is the Devil?

No Gospel denies that Jesus made a whip to expel the merchants and priests in the Jewish temple, that Jewish mobs tried to kill Jesus on several occasions, or told the Roman Pilate the guilt of taking an innocent man's blood should be on the Jewish people and on their descendants.
Since all Gospels state the Jews explicitly told the Roman governor he was not to blame for Jesus's death, your misinterpretations of any Gospels as blaming the Romans have no merit.

You need to read more deeply. The only Gospel that says anything about blood on the hands is John.
But more to the point, no Gospel is an eyewitness account of anything, since they were all written long after the events took place. They were then copied, edited, and translated. Errors and changes crept in at every stage.
They're all based on oral history mixed in with the writer's bias.
The only thing that's certain is that Jesus was an Apocalyptic Jew, like his mentor John the Baptist.
And so, these Pharisees regrouped and continued the teachings that had been condemned by Jesus as the works of the devil. And since the Saduceees had been converted to Christianity, and the Essenes had been destroyed by the Roman legions, the Pharisees found themselves as the sole inheritors of the Hebrew belief system. And as the sole inheritors of the Torah and the oral Tradition of the Elders, they assumed leadership of all of the remaining Hebrews who followed the teachings of Moses and not the teaching of Jesus
Excellent post.
----------------------------------------------------------------- "Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love) There is one question I'd really love to ask (One Heart) Is there a place for the hopeless sinner Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?"
The history plays out this way: After Jesus was crucified by the Pharisees and some of the Saducees (who had bribed and blackmailed Pontius Pilot),
Just noting here that it wasn't the Romans who arrested him. He was arrested by order of the religious authorities, brought to the Sanhedrin council where he was beaten and then turned over to the Romans, which was a violation of their own rules for one of their own to be subjected to Gentile sentencing, because they wanted the death penalty for Him and it was forbidden for them to impose that at the time.
these SECTS prospered under Roman rule for another 70 years. But their intrigues against Rome and open rebellions and murders of Roman citizens and soldiers finally forced Rome to act. As punishment for the Hebrews of Judea, Rome attacked Jerusalem and plundered the city in 70 AD and prohibited any Hebrews from ever again setting foot inside that city. All Hebrews in the city were either put to the sword or enslaved in the mines and Roman galleys. And all Hebrews in all of Palestine were ordered to leave and never come back. And from that time the Hebrews began to fan our across the Middle East and Europe in what they call the Diaspora.
Just noting here that they did not need the excuses of WWII or pogroms to go back there. The Romans weren't barring them for close to 2000 years from re- settling there if they wanted to and neither were the Muslims who protected those who were there, although Muslims get about no appreciation for their protections of them through the years and neither do others. Far from it. But why was Rome in the area? Because the Hebrews had 2 Hebrew Maccabean kings at once and they quarrled, then Rome was brought in to settle things between them. Something similar is happening in America -- Money and Usury v. the Constitution, Israel First v. America First, Globalists/Internationalist- Trotskyites/Communists v. our Constitutional Republic but this time its not Rome they're trying to bring in as the dominant ruler. It's the UN that bows and genuflects to Israel.

You need to read more deeply. The only Gospel that says anything about blood on the hands is John.
Wrong, and nowhere in the following passages is any reference to any Gospel blaming the Romans.
Matthew 27: 19-25
19 While Pilate was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent him this 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 Christ?" Pilate asked. They all 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. "It is your responsibility!"
25 All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!"
Mark 15: 6-15
6 Now it was the custom at the Feast to release a prisoner whom the people requested.
7 A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising.
8 The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
9 "Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate,
10 knowing it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.
12 "What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?" Pilate asked them.
13 "Crucify him!" they shouted.
14 "Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"
15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
Luke 23: 13-23
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people,
14 and said to them, "You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him."
15 Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death.
16 Therefore, I will punish him and then release him."[c]
18 With one voice they cried out, "Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!"
19 (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again.
21 But they kept shouting, "Crucify him! Crucify him!"
22 For the third time he spoke to them: "Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him."
23 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed.
24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand.
25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.
John 19: 1-16
1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe
3 and went up to him again and again, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him in the face.
4 Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, "Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him."
5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!"
6 As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, "Crucify! Crucify!" But Pilate answered, "You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him."
7 The Jews insisted, "We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God."
8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid,
9 and he went back inside the palace. "Where do you come from?" he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.
10 "Do you refuse to speak to me?" Pilate said. "Don't you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?"
11 Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin."
12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jews kept shouting, "If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar."
13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha).
14 It was the day of Preparation of Passover Week, about the sixth hour. "Here is your king," Pilate said to the Jews.
15 But they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" "Shall I crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king but Caesar," the chief priests answered.
16 Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified

So NONE of the "letters" from any of the apostles are legitimate, they are all forgeries.
I've read that about St Paul and I'm not going to spend energy on that at the moment.
The problem with the forgery argument is that there are quite a few Church Fathers scattered in various places who quote verbatim from the Gospels in the first and second centuries. St Polycarp was a disciple of St John. St Ignatius was the child seated on the lap of Christ in the Gospels and knew the disciples well. The Didache is most likely the Apostolic Decree mentioned in the Book of Acts. St Justin the Martyr quoted heavily from the Old and New Testament. All of these quote the Gospels. Another issue is saying the Catholic Church is hopelessly corrupted and has altered scriptures or invented them as needed, and I'm specifically referring to the idea of the New Testament as whole being a forgery. That's well and fine, but then you'd have to prove the Eastern Orthodox Church did the same, and not only them, but the Coptic Church as well. And then you'd have to prove these Church Fathers are all forgeries too since they are witnesses and the Orthodox and Copts are in on it as well.
But the real issue is Constantine. And you need to understand why the first Council was called. St Polycarp held to a fixed date of Nissan 14 to celebrate Pascha (Easter) in the tradition of St John. Others in the Church held a floating date. These two parties agreed to disagree but this issue finally came to a head in the reign of Constantine. Another issue was Arius teaching Christ was a created being, thus not always eternal. It was the basis of many bitter disputes between churches. The resolution to this was the creation of the Nicene Creed. If memory serves, the Council refused to go along with Constantine's wishes on what to do with the followers of Arius. There were leftover issues from the early Gnostics and their scriptures. There were issues about what should be in the canon of Scripture since some regions held some books to be part of the Canon while others did not (Didache, Book of the Apocalypse/Revelation as examples). So the argument can be made that the Church at some point had to put pen to paper and state what writings constituted Scripture. The first Council started this process, but it did not end for several hundred more years. But to be fair, when reading Irenaeus of Lyons and Origen, there was already pretty solid agreement about what was and what was not Scripture outside a handful of writings like mentioned above. And this was 200 years prior to the first Council.

Mmmm...never thought of that.
With the passage of time, each additional Gospel shifted more of the blame to the Jews, until by the time John was written poor old Pontius Pilate was as much of a victim of the Jews as was Jesus.
And yet Pilate was a vicious man, an exceptionally harsh Roman governor even by their standards.
I've heard this preached to the effect that Pilate was a sweet guy who was just trying to save Jesus' life. But Pilate pretty much executed anyone at the drop of a hat.
Interesting thing about that. If you were to read the Gospels in the order in which they were written, you'd notice that in the first one, Mark, it's the Romans who are the villians.
And every single Gospel states that Pilate told the crowd he found Jesus innocent of charges, and proposed to punish then release him, to which they replied "Crucify him!" With John also adding the Jews claimed their King was Caesar.
