Jesus was...
Recently, at a theological meeting in Rome, scholars had a heated debate on the subject of the ethnicity and nationality of Jesus. One by one they offered their evidence -Jesus was Mexican -
- His name was Jesus
- He was bilingual
- He was always being harassed by the authorities
But then there were equally good arguments that...
Jesus was black -
- He called everyone "brother"
- He liked Gospel
- He couldn't get a fair trial
But then there were equally good arguments that...
Jesus was Jewish -
- He went into his father's business
- He lived at home until he was 33
- He was sure his mother was a virgin, and his mother was sure he was God
But then there were equally good arguments that...
Jesus was Italian -
- He talked with his hands
- He had wine with every meal
- He used olive oil
But then there were equally good arguments that...
Jesus was Californian -
- He never cut his hair
- He walked around barefoot
- He started a new religion
But then there were equally good arguments that...
Jesus was Irish -
- He never got married
- He was always telling stories
- He loved green pastures
But perhaps the most compelling evidence...
Jesus was a woman -
- She fed a crowd at a moment's notice
- Men didn't understand her
- Even when dead, she arose to complete her work
