The Devil's Hands

pasitheaSo. I'm in Luke now. Better writing and more detailed than the other two slovenly apostiles I had to kick out of the bible, but since I've seen this passage for the 3rd time, I thought I'd comment on it.
11:14 And he was casting out a
devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone
out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
11:15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub
the chief of the devils.
11:16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom
divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided
against a house falleth.
11:18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom
stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
11:19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast
them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
11:20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the
kingdom of God is come upon you.
Looking back, knowing what we know now, can't we refute this reasoning? A man who calls himself a disciple of God has done far more to split the jews from the christians than even Baal (Who by this point, they're calling Beelzebub) was able to do.
Was Jesus working for God or was he a false prophet that lead the people astray? Got me. I think both religions are full of crap, but you have to admit, Christians, sure have murdered a lot of Jews in the name of Jesus.
