Bill O'Reilly says God told him to write his new book, "Killing Jesus: A History."

[Botany]

NEW YORK -- Bill O'Reilly says God told him to write his new book, "Killing Jesus: A History."

The Fox News anchor explains in an interview on CBS' "60 Minutes" that one night he awoke with the title of the book in his head. He says he believes he got that message from the Holy Spirit.

O'Reilly says the book is a researched, historic account. Despite its de-emphasis of religion, he is using his special gifts from God in a positive way.

He says it's all part of God's plan for him.

*******

You can watch Luffa boy on 60 minutes tonight but I'll skip it. BTW did God also tell Bill to have
a co-author do most of the work too?

[Politicalboi]

1. Maybe he'll be Pat Robertson's replacement

The old man is getting up there in age and dementia. He's already got the sheep.

[House of Roberts]

10. Robertson is Southern Baptist, while Billo claims he's a Catholic,

so I kind of doubt that one.

[frogmarch]

2. Did he

have a co-author, or was it a holy ghostwriter?

[Aerows]

3. My middle finger

was told by the FSM to rise. And lo, it did.

[NuclearDem]

6. And thus, His Noodliness did command:

"One does not lie with falafel as one lies with spaghetti."

[lordsummerisle]

20. LOL n/t

[Aerows]

35. And though tomato

may blend with onion and garlic, but Basil need not be present

[hootinholler]

4. He's old enough

Is it a first hand account?

[NuclearDem]

5. Can't wait for the final installment:

Killing History: The Bill O'Reilly Story.

[llmart]

31. Now THAT one is funny!

I'd read that one. The others? I don't have enough time left on this earth to waste it on that big blowhard narcissist.

[Turbineguy]

7. I think

God would get a better rep if he stopped talking to assholes.

[shenmue]

8. God warned me it's not a very good book

[Thor_MN]

9. My theory: There was a dog barking that woke him... He gets everything bass-ackwards.

[Uncle Joe]

11. I'm curious as to how O'Reilly can "de-emphasis" religion when writing a "historic account"

in regards to the killing of Jesus?

According to the New Testament, religion is the primary reason that Jesus was killed.

Thanks for the thread, Botany.

[Jamaal510]

12. Which God?

Was it Satan?

13. O'Reilly's "God" = his bank account, nuff said nt

[Archae]

14. O'Reilly is a fraud.

This new book blames taxes for "Killing Jesus."

O'Reilly tries to show how "intellectual" he can be, but the dummy had no idea about gravity and tides.

He tries to show how "moral" he can be, but he sexually harrassed Andrea Makris, (not his then-wife, BTW,) and has now divorced his wife, using his money and influence to harrass his ex-wife's new boyfriend.

[Uncle Joe]

24. Of course Jesus never challenged taxes nor the power of Rome, he did challenge the Sanhedrin

in at least one attempt if not more when the only time (s) he used violence was in kicking the "money traders" or businessmen of the day from selling their wares out of the Temple.

It makes no sense as to how anyone claiming to be Bible literate to suggest that taxes and not religion killed Jesus.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanhedrin_trial_of_Jesus

Matthew 26:57 states that Jesus was taken to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together and in Matthew 27:1 adds that the next morning the priests held another meeting. Mark 14:53 states that Jesus was taken that night "to the high priest" (without naming the priest) where all the chief priests and the elders gathered and in Mark 15:1 it adds that another consultation was held among the priests the next morning. Luke 22:54 states that Jesus was taken to "the high priest's house" (without naming the priest) where he was mocked and beaten that night and in 22:66 it adds that "as soon as it was day", the chief priests and scribes gathered together and led Jesus away into their council.[9][10][11]

In John 18:12-14, however, Jesus is first taken to Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the current high priest at that time. Annas is believed to have been the former high priest, and it appears that Caiaphas sought Annas' confirmation of Caiaphas' actions. In 18:24 Jesus is sent from Annas to Caiaphas the high priest and 18:28 states that in the morning Jesus was led from Caiaphas to Pontius Pilate in the Praetorium.[9][10][11]

Jesus in the upper right hand corner, is at the high priest's house, his hands bound behind him, and turns to look at Peter, in Rembrandt's, 1660 depiction of Peter's Denial.In all four Gospel accounts the trial of Jesus before the priests and scribes is interleaved with the Denial of Peter narrative, where Apostle Peter who has followed Jesus denies knowing him three times.[13] Luke 22:61 states that as Jesus was bound and standing at the priest's house Peter was in the courtyard. Jesus "turned and looked straight at him", and Peter remembered the words Jesus had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times."[9][10][11][13]

In the Gospel accounts Jesus speaks very little, and gives very infrequent and indirect answers to the questions of the priests, prompting an officer to slap him. In Matthew 26:62 the lack of response from Jesus prompts the high priest to ask him: "Answerest thou nothing?" In the Gospel accounts the men that hold Jesus at the high priest's house mock, blindfold, insult and beat him, at times slapping him and asking him to guess who had hit him that time.[9][10][11][14]

Jesus knew the Temple was being corrupted and his acts directly challenged the pocketbook and power of the Sanhedrin.
