Who offered Jesus what when to drink as he was on the cross.
I learned something today… maybe.
Good Friday ruminations on belief and faith
"From now on, you shall be known as Peter." Hahahaha.
Had to replace his monogrammed robe, too.
I am not a professional theologian or scriptural scholar, and I hate to take issue on a trivial matter of exegesis in this festive season of many days of Christmas, but…
That's a sweet scene. Reindeer, zebra, and moose. Just like it says in scripture. Is that an angel or a cat-girl? And, behind the moose antler... is that a leprechaun?
Religious humor is a delicate art. I think all these were tastefully hilarious.
Seems an odd post to make that comment (Lipton's). Random drive-by? Troll-bot?
Ehhhrr… but, but, rock beats scissors.
This is a major shift in theological gamesmanship!
Jesus had some course corrections to offer to Judaism, the finest religion on earth at the time. These corrections were, by and large, rejected by the people most ready to receive them.
I always think of this as a Gospels quote, but, no, it's from John's acid trip on Patmos:
huerfano: Why is Joseph so often portrayed as an old man in so many Renaissance paintings?
Book thread! Book thread!
Alas, no time to read post or comments @now.

ALH #140: Nice painting, if historically inaccurate. Jesus didn't make alcoholic wine, he made what was known as "new wine" or grape juice....
bluebell #127: I suspect we are looking at that moment in time right before the miraculous wine is handed round. That's why Jesus looks so pensive; He knows that This Is It.
troyriser #100: I see nowhere in Scripture where Jesus, in a rare moment of whimsy, transports the entire wedding party to the 16th Century.
Just clicked on the pic and examined the bigger version up close. Nobody is smiling and some people look positively sour-pussed. I conclude this is before they rolled out the good wine.
Cana - it was one heck of a party, especially after they rolled out the better wine.
Stepping into the deep dog doo here... (Burt, some of us "overthinkers" need to think it through thoroughly.)
...and that is how John lost his dome?
...That Herod was really a gnome?
...a limerick ain't a real pome?
* sigh *
There was a young gal named Salome,
Who danced for her daddy at home.
Her daddy, quite pickled,
By her dance was tickled...
Unfinished limericks, 15¢

Thanks for another inciteful [sic] book post, pimp daddy O'Muse.
I finished a whole book. Wasn't easy. But I did.
