Express yourself as if you were Jesus.

[ManFromHeaven]

I'm interested to know how your understanding of Jesus would be reflected in words that you think Jesus would speak if he were speaking through you or as if you were him, having of course accepted him into your life.
I think this would give an insight into the psychological affect that a relationship with ones perceived character of Jesus has on a broad range of Christians, and may even give an insight into what Jesus would have to say as if he were present here and now.
Perhaps it would be best if one merely posts their words of wisdom and refrains from debate of others would be Jesus words of wisdom.

Bacon is a perfect good, Canada sucks, France sucks just a little bit more, Shadowloser is a horny doofus and ApologiaPhoenix is his prophet, Turkel has a big head, Mossrose, Michelle, and Cybelle Hawke are pretty swell, Obama is not, Tolkien is better than you, and John Loftus is a drunkard.

These have been words of wisdom.

I wasn't one to shy away from debate.

So I stand before you all with my sword drawn like a comet slashed across night sky proclaiming my coming.

I do will, that you, as a christian society, do away with the safety net established in order to help the most unfortunate amongst you, and to give billions in tax cuts to the wealthiest amongst you. Amen.

Canada sucks

The truth hurts. :sad:

Truly I say to you, you are a moron.

Gee, that doesn't look to me like something Jesus would say, more like the antichrist.

Oh, I dunno:

Matt. 23:17, 19

You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?

...

You fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

and

Luke 11:40

[Ye] fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

and

Luke 12:20


But God said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

According to Strong's Concordance, that word fool isn't flattering:


μωρός
mōros
mo-ros'
Probably form the base of G3466; dull or stupid (as if shut up), that is, heedless, (morally) blockhead, (apparently) absurd: - fool (-ish, X -ishness).

Moros is probably where we get "moron" from.

Sure, but make notice to whom it was Jesus was speaking, to the very hypocrites who profess to be men of God but really care only for themselves.

[Manwë Súlimo]

Eh, seems contrived to me. Just because Jesus used it one way doesn't necessarily lead to it being the only legitimate way.
