Meh.

He was one of the better Bible characters although he was still problematic in certain ways.

He prefers to be called Josh.

I heard he was George Harrison's third cousin twice removed, or something like that.

George wrote this for Uncle God.

Overrepresented.
Hyper-symbolized.

Over used name.
Just like the word God.

It is unfortunate.

If the time is right, if I happened to read the Bible at the same time...
I may understand his messages better.

Yet like before... Only to forget it in action, thought and feeling, unable to replicate it.
Only remain in memory, like any passing experience.

I watched a good movie about him today, "Son of God" (from 2014, I think). I think he was very interesting and want to learn more about him. I plan to read the Bible one day. I will start with the New Testament. He was either just who he said he was, a powerful magician, and enlightened teacher, a charismatic fraud, a spirit made flesh, or a combination of all of the above. I do think he was capable of miraculous things. Much of what he said is not practiced in the world, and I am not sure whether it can be practiced in literal form without the break-down of society. But it is worth considering.

I think Jesus should get a haircut and get a real job.

He was the biggest hippy of his time, yet ironically the people who claim to worship him tend to despise hippies :huh:

:huh:

My mom, my NT sister, and I are Catholic and we will continue to believe that Jesus is the Savior.

I think there should be nothing wrong with that as long as you try to practice what he preached like loving your neighbor as yourself kind of thing. People using Jesus's name as an excuse to hate on & commit violence against others who are different like lots of people seem to do these days makes people like me feel alienated & want to jump ship to a different religion or rebel against religion in general. I'm NOT assuming you or everyone else who believe in Jesus are like that but very unfortunately some who do are & it ruins what coulda been a great thing. I could majorly respect Jesus but not the way some people claim to follow him
