One of my friends sent me a skit from SNL on Tim Tebow, but it portrays Jesus. Am I allowed to post it here?

Yeah, I wouldn't be offended if it were Moses. But I guess since Jesus is  actually their god (I think), it might be offensive. But if they portrayed Hashem, I wouldn't be offended, either. I don't know.

The Church Fathers replaced the original Jewish beliefs of God (the One), Torah (the Law), and Israel (the Land) with God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit (the everlasting Church), respectively. So, yes, Jesus is one of their two Gods. 

Let's see the video!

Personally, I believe in one G_d.  Not two.

It makes more sense if you know about Tebow. He's like 24 and VERY religious. He always prays after touchdowns and stuff.

Right there's only one. I sometimes laugh at the weird ideas some Jews have about Christians that they post on here.

You know we have those weird ideas because many different Christians hold an array of different laws and customs; in fact, it's very confusing with all the ideas out there. It's very difficult to know the truth about what they believe while there are so many ideas going around. I know the feeling, though.

I'm glad that you were nice enough to ask about it before you posted the video Mo that was good of you.

Lol.

FYI, Tim tebow is an example of cruel to the kind.

The media makes fun of him, yet they glorify beasts like vick, the dog torturer and plaxico burress the gun slinger amongst many other adulterer and drug using sports heroes.

While I do not subscribe to the same theology as tebow, I have tremendous respect for him recognizing a higher power and proudly in public.  But we live in evil times.  They ridicule good, but glorify evil behavior.

There are a few aberrant Christian sects that believe in polytheism such as J******'s Witnesses and Mormons, but they are considered heretical. All standard Christians are, or are supposed to be, monotheists. (Yes I know that it is considered idolatry for a Jew to believe in the Trinity, but in Christian theology the Trinity does not mean separate gds.)

tim tebow is a white christian who inspires people to be good and religious. that makes him public enemy number one in the media!  :o :o :o i wish these people could just leave well enough alone. it is so pathetic that they named a public display of faith "tebowing". some kids got suspended from a school for doing it during or after a highschool game i heard. i guess praying in public might make the kids not want to steal, do drugs or listen to stupid rap music and act like [censored]. cant have that!!!!!  >:(

I looked it up prior to my post.  It has more meanings than that, from a Judeo Christian perspective, from what I understood.   Thanks though, Rubystars.

So how do I mount the G-dhead to the wall?  Can G-d be mounted to the wall?  That's news to me.

I just imagine a room full of Christian-hating writers coming up with something like this and then chuckling because they know that self-hating Christians will laugh at it too. I am not offended by the fact it was posted but the clip itself I do find offensive because they would never do this to a devout Muslim or Jewish athlete.

I'm not taking part in the jokes about the G-dhead because I want to be very careful how I speak about anything that could include the Holy Spirit.

SNL hasn't been funny in years.  I don't find the clip offensive, or funny, considering the source.  It's just stupid.  Business as usual.

I do think the devout Muslim might be off limits.  I'm not so sure the devout Jew would be.

I would never joke about G-d.  That is exactly the point.

Agreed. In fact wasn't Sandy Koufax widely attacked?

Most of the time those attacked like this are Christians because people know that more than likely, Christians aren't going to scream the name of Jesus and blow up their studio like Muslims would scream Allah Akbar and do something like that if they could if they were attacked. If they attack Judaism directly in the vicious way they attack Christianity on a regular basis then even self-hating ADL will feel obligated to put in a token objection.

At the same time, the mass media tries to portray the Christian right (not Muslims) as the real terroristic threat to America. It doesn't make sense.

You notice Roger Waters of Pink Floyd has a lengthy history of making ferociously anti-Israel statements, equating Israel to the Nazis and what-not. For years this went completely unchecked and nobody in the establishment Jewish orgs batted an eye. Then, in September 2010, one of his concerts featured a graphic of a plane dropping stars of David as bombs, which then turned into dollar signs. Then, finally, Mullah Ibrahim Foxman, president of the Arab Defense League, issued a statement condemning Waters--but acknowledging that he has every right to denounce Israel. He was upset by the concert animation because it equated Jewry with wealth and being obscenely rich and (nominally) Jewish himself, he was personally offended. If he had just bashed religious Judaism or called for a holocaust against Israel (which he has basically done many times), Imam Foxman would have been just fine with it.

The Judeo Christian way of life is under attack in America.  The principles that our country was founded on.  That is the key.  The goal is to destroy our way of life.  It's happening from the inside out.  Not just the outside in.
There should be no humor found in attacks on righteous Christians or Jews.  Christians should defend the Jew.  The Jew the Christian. 
That is what I believe. 
As long as you don't want me dead, if I don't follow your religious beliefs, I am not your enemy.

I'm tired of people, here, trying to belittle my faith.  If you are secure in your faith, you have nothing to fear from what I believe.

Great post bullcat.

I had this image in my head after I watched that disgusting little clip of some secular extreme liberal types chuckling at how they are able to do anything they want to Christians and get the dumb Christians who think they will always be safe to practice their faith here to laugh right along with it. Christians in the USA are too secular themselves and also feel a bit too secure that they don't even realize they are being attacked on all possible fronts, including so-called comedy. They don't realize this is not in any way self-deprecating humor but something written by their enemies, people who hate them and would rather see them dead or converted to Islam or the Jedi religion than to remain Christian. Their goal is to make Christianity look ridiculous and ultimately get rid of it altogether, and that's why they attack someone like Tebow.

Edit: I just saw the list of writers, the image in my head was very accurate. Bunch of commies
