Alleluia! Christ is risen! ]]> http://forums.shipoffools.com/index.php?p=/discussion/6685/christ-the-king-shepherd-etc-as-a-church-name Thu, 04 Dec 2025 07:22:28 +0000 Purgatory LatchKeyKid 6685@/index.php?p=/discussions
God told Samuel that Israel's desire for a King did not mean they were rejecting Samuel, but that they were rejecting God. And Judah and Israel's kings were mostly that they did evil in the sight of the Lord, with only a few being seen as good.

Jesus did not accept that he was King of the Jews, and said his Kingdom was not of this world.

The quote from the OT of Jesus as a king riding on a donkey into Jerusalem specifically excludes the phrase "triumphant is he", though triumphalism has been associated with worship of Christ.

Another Church name is Christ the Good Shepherd.

In Matthew we have Jesus saying that he no longer calls us slaves, but calls us friends. I do not know of a church called Christ The Friend - That would seem to suit Quakers, though I don't know of any Meeting Places that have names, but I haven't been around much.

So what do you envisage in the use of your preferred "Christ The XXXX" name?]]> http://forums.shipoffools.com/index.php?p=/discussion/6270/the-humanity-of-jesus Wed, 12 Feb 2025 01:48:36 +0000 Purgatory Gramps49 6270@/index.php?p=/discussions
Therefore, I put it to you.

Do you struggle with the humanity of Jesus?

Did he have to learn to read--or did he ever read?

Did he have a significant other?

Did he have emotional swings?

What was it like when he grew up?

Did he fear the occupiers?

What was puberty like for him?

Did he have childhood illnesses?

Other problems?]]>
