Too much bandwidth, what did he say?

 

[Humberto]

Basically that 'the bible says' you shouldn't hang on to your money but risk it on stock market instead. And if you buy his newsletter books etc. you will DEFINATELY become a millionaire.

Just gotta figure how to get through the eye of that needle now

 

[Humberto]

'Blessed are the poor...', 'You can't serve both God and Mammon...', 'Gather your treasure in heaven not on earth...'

Plus Jesus was a working man. And he rode on a donkey.

When did Jesus work?

Apparently the Greek word for what he did was 'tekton', which means 'workman'.

So he might have been a handyman, or a jack of all trades. A Mr. Fix-it.

Sounds about right.

There's also a gap in the New Testament: Jesus' life from age 12, to age 30.

So he had to earn a living.

 

[frogwoman]

wasn't he a fisherman as well?

 

[Humberto]

Don't think so. Some of his disciples were.

 

[DotCommunist]

he definetly had a go on the fishing. Recall the miracle of the epic catch? 'cast your nets one last time'
'why, we've been here all day and got fuck all'

'one more time'

and lo, there was a massive haul

It's unclear whether the gift of gold he got at birth was frittered away by Joseph on the gee-gees.

I've read that it was more akin to 'builder', which was a pretty middle-class profession at the time.

drank it all to cover his grief at being cuckolded by the creator of the universe.

 

[frogwoman]

For some reason I never think of anyone in the bible working.

 

[frogwoman]

If Abraham had had a job the bible would be very different for example.
'Take your son, your only son, and bring him to the mountain as a sacrifice to me'
'I can't, sorry God! I'm working late tomorrow night, and the day after is my only day off'

 

[frogwoman]

'I will send a flood to destroy the world, build a huge boat and put six pairs of clean and two pairs of unclean animals'
'Sorry, I'm working that day and I can't get any more time off'

 

[Yelkcub]

and lo, there was a massive haul

I read that as and 'lol, there was a massive haul'

 

[Yelkcub]

I'm working on a 'it's not about the money, money, money' reply, which somehow links Jessie J to Jesus, but I'm some way off.

Meet back here, same time Tuedsay?

If it wasn't, it should have been.

As far as sloppy seconds go, he could have done worse.

It's going to rain for how long ?? .... "oy vey, my sinuses are going to give me hell ....and my garden, all my radishes will die, not to mention the roses....the donkey will have to be brought inside ... "

'I can't, sorry God! I'm working late tomorrow night, and the day after is my only day off'

Though tbf, if God had just commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son, his dedication to his job might not be uppermost in his mind. Perhaps, "Sacrifice Isaac, are you fucking insane?" could be the reaction.

That's when he was in Egypt learning magick ...

I thought everybody knew that?
