Not really to the point but Jesus was much more likely to be a stone mason than a carpenter. The gospels only tell us he was a “builder” (greek: Tekton).

When you read the gospels with this in mind it is interesting how often he use stone in metaphors and parables.

It’s an interesting idea, I hadn’t heard that one before. Where did it come from?

You’ve been hanging around with too many freemasons. :-)
