Now this is just stupid. He claims there is a difference between the historical Jesus and the biblical Jesus....... but we don't know anything about the historical Jesus. There are 27 different Gospels stories which give us a pretty good view of the historical Jesus which is the very same Jesus as when referring to the biblical Jesus. / There are not multiple Jesi.

I was reading with my children in Genesis 6, and we came to "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown." / My daughter said, "Sounds like there were a lot of Jesi in those days. Maybe it's where all the fake frozen Jesi come from."

#1 Well we're discussing Jesus' quotations in the gospels, so Paul wasn't intended. But since you bring him up, exactly when did Paul meet Jesus? I mean not counting the magical Jesus in Paul's head. "Accurate" isn't a word you can meaningfully apply to quotations from magical Jesi in peoples' heads.

I just saw a show where Desmond did a pretty convincing turn as the Son of Man in a well researched and close to the text version of the Gospels: I saw it from "Marriage at Cana" to "Stoning the Adultress". It was on a Christian programming channel where they regularly play Old & New Testament movies, etc. I did not catch a title, he may have been born in a manger & resurrected but I don't know... / He was as good as all those other Jesi!!

I don't think the Vatican would have enjoyed my Sacred & Profane Polyween party this last October. We had a few Jesi, including my boyfriend, who posed with a big can of beer, thus answering the eternal question "What Would Jesus Drink?" Another Jesus had his own cross and a dotted line on his torso with the note "Insert Spear Here."

It is important to realize that everyone creates their own Jesus in their mind as a result of what they are taught, what they read, what they see, what they imagine, and most importantly what they believe. Just like snowflakes, no two Jesi are the same.

The union in the incarnation is not natural (the merging of two natures into one new one, which would make Jesus neither God nor man but a mixture of them) or interpersonal (the teaming up of two people, which would require two Jesi acting as one), but personal (one person, the eternal Son, having both the divine nature and the human nature).

Lou and I walked around, examining the prayer cards for various saints—the trading cards of Catholicism. I wasn’t sure about their value, but how could you put a price tag on salvation? Did people trade these? Did you collect them? Was it a sin to trade three saints for a Jesus if you already had two Jesi? Or was it more like poker? Did Mary and four apostles make a full house of worship?
