Jesus, Beer, & Soldiers Field (Jesus Christ, priests, grace, experience)

Yeah, we've got plenty of tight ends around here.

Whoa Deut. This is like your fifth post about the temple incident. Move on man. It's almost as if you have personal issues with a story written about two thousand years ago. I'd almost consider your repeats of this "temple tantrum" a bit of your own little tantrum ya have going on. But lets clear up some things first. Do you feel that the temple police and roman police should have apprehended Jesus el pronto? Yes? That's good. I kind of agree with you. But it wasn't our call to make. This situation was bigger then you think. After all, hundreds of thousands of people from all over the middle east traveled to Jerusalem this time of year for the special High Sabbath, the feast and that fond word of "passover". Massive throngs of people hanging out at the temple having a good time I imagine. The day before, didn't Jesus walk into the city worshipped like a king by all of those people? Yes he was. He even entered the temple and thousands bowed before him. But your telling us that the next day had this man overturned a few tables, merchants selling goods in violation of true temple laws, he would have been arrested? Please. That is not realistic. It would have been interesting had they tried, no doubt. A few soldiers apprehending Jesus among hundreds of thousands who bowed down to him. The entire city would have been in an uproar, perhaps the whole region. Caesar would have had Pilates head on a stake.

Holy crap, a Bears fan!

I've been a fan for 20 years. 2001 was a wild ride, but everything's been kind of a bummer since then. I'm pretty psyched about Muhsin Muhammed, though.


Anyway, sorry for hijacking the thread. Just don't see too many Bears fans these days. Carry on.
