The account I watched (at the encouragement of a client who was a devotee of Benny Hinn) was pretty clear that it was Jesus who needed Jesse to comfort Him. Jesus was in need of the spiritual strength possessed by one of His creatures. Look at that from any number of perspectives and it's still horrific.

I grant that it was 7 or 8 years ago but it does stand out pretty clearly in my memory. That and the local preacher who was teaching adoptionism and that Christians would be adopted in the same way. So there was a lot of weirdness that I was combating.

Christ let the prostitute comfort and anoint him for burial.

I don’t see anything about Jesse comforting Christ that takes away from Christ’s deity or majesty at all.

I’d be sobered at masses of people refusing my salvation and going to hell needlessly, too.

I realize there’s tons of mystery and incomprehensible ‘excluded middle’ philosophical stuff we could boggle at.

I just try and take things at face value unless there’s serious UNBIBLICAL aspects obviously preventing that.
