Are you saying it's a mistranslation and arisen from the dead was actually a raisin from the bread?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

  • John 6:35

You seem to know scripture, maybe you can answer a question that been bothering me for a while. Since Jesus is bread and the cross was made from wood, was the crucifixion essentially stapling bread to trees?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Scripturally speaking, it's considered more like a charcuterie board.

[–] YoSoySnekBoi@kbin.earth 17 points 3 days ago

He is raisin indeed

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I thought he was arisen from the bread.

That's why we have unleavened bread during passover.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

To be honest I have not studied scripture so I am naan knowing.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's unfermented, a sober Jesus is no real Jesus.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

His first miracle was literally spiking the punch at a wedding.

Me when my best friend told me that in Islam, dogs were made from the Devil's spittle as he was frothing with glee at the prospect of seeing humans being eaten by lions:

I straight up told her I never thought the Quran could out-crazy Norse mythology, but where we are. I mean, we do have a story about the Æsir creating Kvasir from their spit, but that is no where close to being as metal as dogs being made from the spit of Satan. I was practically cackling.

Sadly, raisins are not wine.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Roman wine at the time was watered down, sweetened with lead, and I think had herbs added. Not sure about Jewish wine then. But I say, rehydrate the raisins in wine and you're close enough.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They're also kinda weird. Unlike wine,

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

They may be weird, but Christianity has been around for millenia.

You are missing some of the yeast.

[–] zedgeist@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

He is Risen. No yeast required.

[–] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago

Grapes have a yeast on their skins iirc, so adding raisins to a flatbread would introduce yeast, making it risen

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 5 points 3 days ago

Huh, the Catholics were onto something

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This comment last week is pure gold. So glad the story was told!

The Father Patrick Easter story may be genuinely one of my favorites of all time.

[–] sunoc@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago

Mary had a bun in the oven, literally.

[–] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

does that mean that raisin bread is an entire Jesus?

If a human only has flesh and blood, sure. Where's the long hair?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Funny you ask!

(E: The video used to be called "Did Jesus have long hair?" The interview starts at around 10:00)

[–] yannic@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

This is a fun opportunity to share that mainline church teachings consider each tiny drop or fragment of the precious blood and sacred host to contain Christ entirely. It's not exactly blood here, guts there.

"Jesus is a hologram"

was not something i expected to hear

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

Don't bring your logic and reasoning into my fairytale.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Blood is what you get when you squeeze out the body. Wine is what you get (eventually) when you squeeze out the grape.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I wonder if people collected Jesus' wine-blood at the cross? I mean...free wine!

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Probably not given that he isn't real

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

No, but bread pudding with whiskey sauce is.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Just because you don't believe in him doesn't mean he's filling your mouth any less.
