Look at Elvis, the stories already being told about him, and there was that movie with Ann Margaret where he cures Autism.

Jesus rides the donkey up the hill into Jerusalem, and masses of people crowd the streets to welcome him as the new king. They throw coats and palm fronds into the street before him to honor his triumphal entry.

"Aguirre came up again, said my Uncle Harold didn't die after all.
Said bring 'em down"
And they ride on horse back out of the wilderness.

--- Quote from: wdj on December 18, 2007, 06:38:03 pm ---A scribe asks Jesus what is the greatest commandment. Jesus answers with two commandments:
1/ Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and
2/ Love your neighbor as yourself.
The scribe says, yes, you are right. These are more important than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.

At that time I think there was a transition going on from a earth based belief system involving literal sacrifie and the institutional practice that has become modern day Judaism, while it still incorporates several ritual involing ram horns, depending on the omount of Orthodoxy you aspire to. Perhaps Jesus was wanting to get in on this debate and push things in a certain direction.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to notice that! ::) :laugh: ;)
If you want to follow Jesus, work for a system that will help the poor instead of enriching the rich.
But keep in mind what they did to Jesus for saying that ... :-\

Well they spend their time being upset about:

2. Gay people in general.
3. Abortion.
4. Evolution.
And I am like there are people living in cardboard boxes! THIS is what you want to spend money on?
