Clever, but a little ... eeeewwww-blasphemous.

Of course, so many translations of the Bible being what they are, this actually could be a thing.

Some Jewish Carpenter

Yikes. It get it's "the Bee", but, it's disrespectful.

[V_TWIN]

It’s from the POV of the Roman soldier.

[NCLaw441]

Doesn’t strike me as blasphemous. More like a potential conversion story.

Please chill, it is a fake story. It is NOT “blasphemous.”

For a much more dignified and respectful take on the Roman perspective, I highly recommend the 2016 film, “Risen,” with Joseph Fiennes. Excellent historical fiction, I would place in par with the 1942 novel, “The Robe.”

Our Roman soldier Plinius was apparently determined to raise “know not what they do” to new heights of utter pagan ignorance.

UBU, P.

If I ever find a lamp, one of the wishes would to be there that morning!

[Wilderness Conservative]

Once again, the Jewish staff at the Bee craps on Jesus. And we’re supposed to defend them?

“Morning already…”

I thought the Bee were giving Jesus His Christian due; that bright light wasn’t morning.

Isaiah 53:2-3 ESV [2] For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. [3] He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not

There goes that blasphemer Isaiah again! Note the use of "we" in this passage. You and I would likely also have "crapped" on Jesus had we been there

[frogjerk]

Blasphemy is a terrible sin and I condemn it in all forms but I don’t think I would consider this blasphemy but ignorance from the guards point of view that something universe shattering is about to happen.

[frogjerk]

Just because a story is fake doesn’t mean it cannot be blasphemous, but I don’t consider this story blasphemous anyway.

[Mr. Lucky]

Exactamente.

Pontius Pilate: Joseph, I don’t understand. You’re one of the richest men in the region, and you’ve spent a fortune on a new tomb for you and your family and you want to give it to this man Jesus?”

Joseph: “It’s just for the weekend”.

The Babalyon Bre is a Christian site. I’m Jewish as are ALL Messianic Jews, as we’re the disciples, as was Paul. You can’t love YESHUA, and hate the Jewish people. You don’t know him yet. I will pray that you do

[madison10]

It is not blasphemous. No one said anything derogatory about Jesus or God. Jesus WAS a Jewish carpenter afterall.

[Wilderness Conservative]

I guess that’s why the Bee never craps on Judaism or islam.
