I looked at the comments on the article, in which the author also posts. He is weasel-worded. Jesus is described as a Palestinian Jew! Despite some posters pointing out the historical facts, it amazes me how many are prepared, nay, willing, to believe this sort of rubbish.<br /><br />As for the portraits of Jesus, I have seen others from other parts of the world which show Jesus as being from that particular race or culture e.g. black, Indian, Chinese etc. The idea is that Jesus is for everyone. However, being a Protestant, I object to these depictions which can border on, or even cross over into, idolatry. As a teacher, I often reminded children that Jesus was (and is)a Jew.<br /><br />Theologically, the Christian Doctrine of the Incarnation includes what is sometimes called the 'scandal of particularity'. Which is to say that the Incarnate God (The Son) is a man, a Jew, born when Herod the Great was King etc. etc. He can never now be anything other. This is the concept of being fully Human. We are all what we are when we are born, and despite the surgeon's knife, cannot really be anything else.<br /><br />It may have been odd of God to choose the Jews, but it was odd of God to choose anybody! (Which, by the way, is the point of the couplet). We should be grateful that He did choose because if He had not chosen then we would all have nothing.Ian Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-87330739671755253012011-01-01T01:42:34.112+11:002011-01-01T01:42:34.112+11:00I didn't include his quotations from certain a...I didn't include his quotations from certain authors - who inaccurately insisted that Jesus lived in "Palestine"; perhaps I should have, to show how ahistorical much of the article is (anyway, click on the link at you get to read the entire thing).Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-53386888213125625272011-01-01T01:32:07.943+11:002011-01-01T01:32:07.943+11:00its a muddled article because it wasn't Palest...its a muddled article because it wasn't Palestine when Jesus lived and the Arab's hadn't gotten there yetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
