When this discussion started I sat back waiting for someone to ask what sports car Jesus would have driven.
Well, the standard answer as to what Mary would drive is...a Fiat.*
*Latin for "Let it be" or "May it be"--what she said to Gabriel when told that she would have God's baby. (More or less, depending on flavor of theology.)
I have problems with the name most commonly used for the Jewish Messiah which is "Jesus."
I am not sure whether I am praying or swearing when I say that name as it is so often used as a swear-word or expletive.
Well it shouldn't be.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The sort that works backwards in time.
What? You've never heard of *reverse prophecy*?
I explained it all (with reference to lots of Old Books) at about half-past next Thursday.
Quite cogently, too, if I will having had remembering shall.
Yay?
You asked me that next month. If I try to answer it, I'll have had a headache...
I believe the remedy is wine made from reannual grapes.
We teleport the answers.

Mary Mazda-lene.

I doubt it.
Bit flashy for him, I think. I suspect he would have been a BMW M6 type of guy.
I thought it was a matter of record and common discourse that Christ rode a bike.
And that's not flashy?
No, no. It's so self-effacing it doesn't even have indicator lights.
Rabbi YbP wouldn't be so inconsiderate, surely?
He's not from Saint Louis.
And not being from Seattle, I'll bet he can merge into moving traffic without causing tachycardia.
He wouldn't need to, John the Baptist had already made the way straight for him.
That's good.
Unfortunately I was in bourbon fuelled delusions of wit and was doubting De Tomas-o.
Must get some good harsh rye.
A 1988 Toyota Hilux surely? Or a short wheel based Land Rover.
You sod again! Good job I'd finished to rhubarb gin.
Lada Niva.
Less overtly so. But still with all the drive.
I mean if "all things on heaven and earth" belong to his father, why would he not borrow some of them?
You're right. Definitely.
'strewth, I'd only had a tincture.
If the death of the thread is imminent, let's at least declare Ricardus the winner.
oh yes, please!
To become extinct it would first have to be alive.
