I think that back then people had different (lower) standards of personal hygine and cleanlinessIf Jesus lived in poverty.How did he wash his clothes?Or take baths or showers?
I think today, people, especially in the United States, have a neurotic and obsessive sense of personal hygiene and cleanliness. Marketing and Advertising needs us that way to sell us unnecessary products.I think that back then people had different (lower) standards of personal hygine and cleanliness
Be that as it may, I think that if Jesus were to return to Earth whilst maintaining his old standards of personal hygiene then he would probably reek of body odour and filthI think today, people, especially in the United States, have a neurotic and obsessive sense of personal hygiene and cleanliness.

No more than anyone else who doesn't obsessively take showers or baths fully every single day. I have no doubt they cleaned their bodies the same as any human has without all these modern products and home plumbing conveniences we do today. In other words, he'd fit right in with normal, like anyone not living in a 1st world country.Be that as it may, I think that if Jesus were to return to Earth whilst maintaining his old standards of personal hygiene then he would probably reek of body odour and filth
Do you think they need showers in heaven?I hope that he takes a shower and has a change of clothes before his second coming
Edit: and perhaps apply some deodorant or antiperspirant?
Why did you hold the position that he lived in poverty?If Jesus lived in poverty.How did he wash his clothes?Or take baths or showers?
The latter two were very much rarities back then, but washing in streams, rivers, and lakes was common. If one took a "bath", they'd jump in as well.If Jesus lived in poverty.How did he wash his clothes?Or take baths or showers?
Huh? You think slathering your body with soap products and smelling constantly like a fresh spring rain makes you live longer?And prolong life...
Because there's no reference to his house and car?Why did you hold the position that he lived in poverty?

I think Jesus was poor because of 2 Corinthians 8:9.

Not quite. You said "personal hygiene". That is not what they are saying:It is evidenced that improved personal hygiene has doubled life expectancy in the last 200 years.
So yes, personal hygiene makes you live longer.
Not quite. You said "personal hygiene". That is not what they are saying:
Over the last 200 years, U.S. life expectancy has more than doubled to almost 80 years (78.8 in 2015), with vast improvements in health and quality of life. However, while most people imagine medical advancements to be the reason for this increase, the largest gain in life expectancy occurred between 1880 and 1920 due to public health improvements such as control of infectious diseases, more abundant and safer foods, cleaner water, and other nonmedical social improvements.
I do not see "personal hygiene" listed there.

I still don't see "personal hygiene" listed in there. It lists three things: public health (sewers and sanitation and whatnot, as per the other article); pharmaceuticals (modern medicines); and other/unknown.Personal hygiene relates strongly to public health and for your information America represents just 5% of world population
Forty-four percent of improved life expectancy was attributable to public health, 35 percent was attributable to pharmaceuticals, 13 percent was attributable to other medical care, and −7 percent was attributable to other/unknown factorshttps://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2020.00284
44% is close enough
Im going for a shower, what you do is up to you
