Subject: What's Jesus example of borrowing money? |
Bible Note: Lighten up. Yikes. How about the content of what I wrote? How about looking at the context? And isn't it clear that I've read the rest, if you look at my posts? One of my gripes about how Jesus is portrayed, is that he is always grim faced and sombre. There are moments of brilliant wit in the gospels, and I love how he can turn an opponent away with a few words. Maybe "joker" was overstated for the sake of making a point? Whatever. I think you are all more offended than my Lord is right now. How about the content of the post, rather than one word? JRM. |
