Jesus is not the guy you swap beers with on alternating nights in each other's garage.

Really?

Really.

Matthew 11:18-19 18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.' 19The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds."

And Luke 7:33-35

Matthew 9:10-12 10And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. 11And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

Mark 2:15-17 15And as he reclined at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

Luke 5:29-31 29And Levi made him a great feast in his house, and there was a large company of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them. 30And the Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

Funny, I don't see anywhere in those passages where Jesus denied drinking with the tax collectors and sinners at their homes.

A king eats with his subjects. A king commands (my last post). The subjects obey. Unless you don't believe that you are subject to God...

Besides, it doesn't say that Jesus didn't swap beers in each other's garage, so we can presume that He did. Now prove he didn't.

Interesting demand. It certainly fits with many of your posts.

Whatsamatter? Don't you believe Jesus' own words?

You know, the very ones that Catholics claim their church wrote down that Jesus said.

John 15:15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
