Well now. . .didn't Jesus have two daddies?

[kevinbgoode]

just wonderin'. ....


I was reading on some discussion forum that one sign at the Prop H8 rallies said that...:-).

Maybe that should be the gay theme to handle the revisionist religionists. . .


JESUS HAD TWO DADDIES

[Joe Bacon]

1. I thought he had 3...

The Big "G", The Holy Ghost and ol' Joe

[DesertFlower]

5. yep. nt

[Seldona]

10. There being a Trinity, wouldn't he have had four Daddies?

17. Not exactly.

You're referring to the trinity (which is also known the 'godhead" by fundies.

The trinity is one solid body with separate entities making up the whole. God gives the word, the word is then carried by the holy spirit, and made known to Jesus, the word made flesh.

So there's the Word, the communicating force that binds them, and then the word made flesh.

I welcome any further questions you may have and look forward to helping some people learn more and have more respect for my faith and realize that there is an enlightenment moment occurring all around the world.

2. 3 ... don't forget Ghost Daddy. n/t

[Winnipegosis]

3. Or none at all.

4. I don't know about Jesus

But David and Jonathan down in the OT had a intense love affair going on the way I (and certain biblical experts who actually know what they're talking about) read it.

Yup THAT David. The sling slinging Giant killer.

[Divine Discontent]

6. shhhh! the fundies hate it when you bring up studies of Aramaic showing they were intimate!

even the rewritten into English versions sure make it look like something was serious between the two - but the fundies freak out and say, they were just best friends... RIIIIIGHT.

That story helps give me strength spiritually. I believe the original story was a clear sexual and spiritual relationship between the two. It's a great story of love!

19. Why do I not understand anything you just posted?

Oh wait, you said David as in Michaelangelo's David? Can you please provide a link?

[ToolTex]

7. I'm lovin your logic!

And David was really hot. Lets see, then there were Paul and Timothy ..

Do I hear exploding heads .. hee hee

[Karenina]

16. Paul's a creep...

8. Jesus had two daddies> Ya know, that must have been a very confusing upbringing.

I'm surprised that he wasn't taken away by the rabbinate, instead of being reared in that confusing environment. It just shouldn't have been allowed. Children should be reared in conventional marriages, Not one where figments are having their way with the mom. Strange that didn't lead to one man, one woman, one figment, slippery-slope marriages.

The fundy's really do need to look into this. Jesus may have had psychological issues from that kind of non-traditional home!

[peruban]

18. Are you kidding?

First off, after doing the deed, God split and became a deadbeat dad - Joseph took him along with Mary and supported them as a carpenter. Unfortunately Jesus never mastered basic carpentry, so he founded his own religion and finally reconciled with his spiritual Father with the help of the holy spirit/ghost/whatever.

Sounds reasonable, no?

9. Who made your Jesus? God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with him.

Sojourner Truth as best I recall.

[happychatter]

11. this is funnier than hell and I'm stealing it - nt

[SoCalDem]

12. Poor Gullible Mary.. We all know how young girls can be swept off their feet..

That sly Gabriel..what a smooth-talker he must have been..

"Hey Baby..I'm an angel.. & work with me..we're gonna both go to heaven...let me help you with those ties on your dress"..

[peruban]

13. It's pretty weak analogy.

I mean, here's God, performing the immaculate conception and then, like many fathers, he goes out for some beer and cigarettes and doesn't show back up until his son if a full grown man while living with Joseph and Mary. I doubt we would have been able to perform a paternity test even if the technology had been available. I'm guessing Mary's immaculate conception didn't require normal fertilization which kind of implies that God did it and Jesus would have been walking around with the same DNA as his mother, including the female X chromosome instead of the Y. Could Jesus have been a woman?

Damn I speculate too much.

14. Actually, there is a rational explanation for the "virgin birth"

I got this from a Discovery channel program called "The Riddle of the Dead Sea Scrolls"

In that day, 3 marriages were typical

First, the child was "given in marriage"
Second, at puberty, sex was explained and they were told to not do it until the final marriage
Third, final ceremony .... hot sex could begin. The marriage was "consecrated" with pregnancy

Now for the kicker....
A Jewish woman was considered a "virgin" until she had the Final wedding. A "virgin birth" was a whoopsie, and a derogatory term used to designate pre-marital sex. In today's lingo ... Jesus was a "bastard child"

[peruban]

20. You certainly used the word properly.

Jesus was technically a bastard.

[melm00se]

15. Jesus is part of the trinity

not a separate entity.
