  • By *reverse prophecy*, of course!

    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.
  • I suppose that it does show a certain level of thoughtfulness that this discussion comes pre-consigned.

    Yay?
  • 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.

  • Stercus Tauri--
    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.)

  • Well for the entry into Jerusalem surely he would drive a Triumph.
  • RicardusRicardus Shipmate
    While walking across the Sea of Galilee presumably involved creating a ford ...
  • Charismatics who are into tongues have been heard to profess that "shecameonahonda, Lord'. But who was 'she', if Mary drove a Fiat?

    Mary Mazda-lene.

    I always thought Jesus liked Spanish cars built for the UK market — he was said to have taken his Seat at God's right hand.

    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.

    I think that's a problem unique to undead_rat.
  • People may use "Jesus" as a swear word, but people say "Yeshu" when they sneeze.

    When this discussion started I sat back waiting for someone to ask what sports car Jesus would have driven. Still waiting, so here it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Tomaso_Pantera

    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.
  • Jesus would drive Jeep Cherokee--they have the same initials. And it would be a good way to get out into the back country, which he seemed to like.

    Possibly but wouldn't the original 2nd World War Jeep have been more John the Baptist's sort of wheels?

    No, no. It's so self-effacing it doesn't even have indicator lights.
  • Oh, so our local drivers would love it, then.
  • I thought indicator lights were usually one of the *optional extra* accessories these days.

    Rabbi YbP wouldn't be so inconsiderate, surely?
  • I'm sure he'd use his turn signals on all occasions.

    He's not from Saint Louis.
  • I'm sure he'd use his turn signals on all occasions.

    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.

    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.

    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?
