MATTHEW,
9:23-24
And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels
and the people making a noise,
He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.
And they laughed him to scorn.
See?
Even back then, JC had 'em rolling in the aisles. The "FUN
WITH JESUS" cartoon is not meant to offend, nor is it intended
as humor by way of sacrilige. Quite the contrary, actually.Jesus,
if we are to believe the accounts of him as portrayed in that book
that everybody is so enamored with(what the hell was the name of
that book? It escapes me for the moment) was a guy who hung out
with "publicans and sinners." His best friend was a prostitute.
He had long hair, and he freaked out the establishment.
My
kind of guy.
In the interest of full disclosure, I'll state straight out--I am
NOT a christian; but please understand that after reading all the
Gospels, and many of the Apocryphal texts,I hold the character of
Yehoshua Ben Yosef, Jesus of Nazareth, in nothing but the highest
regard. I think, if he were around today, (and, providing that someone
was on hand to translate them into ancient Aramaic), he'd get a
kick out these cartoons.
I hope you do, too.

Translation
continues on the newly found Gospel, Jesus' Practical Joke Book.
" Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell
John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the
lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised,
to the poor the gospel is preached." LUKE,7:21-23

Used
to be that lepers were like the homeless in NewYork, circa the mid
80s. But JC was sort of like Rudy Guliani; when he was around, they
went away.

The
Bible is constantly open to misinterpretation. Oftentimes even first
hand witnesses hear not the words, but only that which they wish to
hear. JC sets one such sort straight.
