If Jesus was living among modern society, what would he be like?


I'd imagine he'd be this hippie dude who's pretty chill with people. Some would love him, others would hate him. An everyday but altruistic dude I guess?

There's something really weird going on with Moviechat tonight. Do you feel it. Maybe its that the big players are missing from the field. I feel like I'm watching a Patriots game and the quarterback is Joe Smith:)

I bring this up because it's Good Friday and that it's a few days before Easter, so I was in the mood to post this topic I guess...I apologize.

reply

No the topic is fine. There's something else wrong.....

reply

Oh okay.

Jesus was an agitator so I wonder what he would fight against today. Would be an anti woke type who gets crucified on social media for saying there are only two genders?

reply

Good question.
It is like everybody wants to believe that Jesus would have supported their viewpoints.

reply

Yep see comment below for example.

reply

I see a lot more "crucifying" going on here from the extreme conservative side rather than the live-and-let-live side.
Hopefully Jesus would tell Hannity and his crowd to stfu.

reply

Nah. The conservatives are the live and let live side.

reply

Agitator by consistently denouncing gross hypocrisy. Imo, that's what put him on the cross more than any other reason, apart from his spiritual destiny that Christians believe in.

reply

He could have a field day with the Left then.

reply

Absolutely!

reply

Personally, I think Jesus would believe there are two genders.

But in the NT he always positioned himself above any worldly controversy. So he would speak in riddles and avoid the gender issue altogether. He'd just say something "gender vague" about all being welcome in the kingdom of god.

I mean in the Bible he referred to "eunuchs". He might say something like "there are men and there are women and there are eunuchs. But all are the same in the eyes of the father".

The Doobie Brothers would agree with your assessment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEvy8mROAj0

I think he’d be very cool and fun to hang out with…not racist, polite to the Ladies, a real sport with the kiddos…He’d probably ask to crash on my couch and I’d be fine with that, we could order pizza and do a Seinfeld marathon✌️

Jesus is my homie!

reply

Jesus is my homie, too. I might visit his hometown of Tijuana sometime.

reply

Well shit, I’ve never seen Tijuana and I’ve never had a good sit down with Jesus…if you’re driving I’ve got gas and burger money buddy!

reply

very confused.

reply

He would be an even more unlikable Billy Graham.

A charlatan. But with long hippie hair and a weak physique.

The Netflix series, Messiah, explores this very idea and does it well. A mysterious Arab religious leader calling himself Al-Masih, appears to be doing miracles and gains a following. The CIA and Mossad rush to contain him but he eludes them, appearing in various places and performing miracles. Good series but sadly was canceled after one season.

(Aussie take on modern Jesus)

He’d be a cashed up tradie with his own carpentry business. His sideline would be making cheap cask wine from water.

Hobbies would be fishing and pissing off whoever is in power at the time.

His main girl is a whore and he likes to think of his mother as virginal.

His father, despite never being around for him, he still considers to be God.

He still sports the 80’s hair metal look and enjoys wearing sandals when he can.

Plays guitar in a pub rock band called Jesus and his Apostles. Dislikes heavy metal band Judas Priest.

reply

Ha! Very good.

But I think he would have a mullet.

reply

Lol I considered the mullet! A man who hangs onto a time long gone!
