Another View Of Jesus Christ?

[posthuman]

Within the bloodline or genealogy of Jesus, were more than a dozen kings and other prominent Biblical figures. So, as a descendant of greatness and wealth, was Jesus really a nobody with nothing , in the material sense?
And among the ancestors of Jesus, were Abraham ( Genesis 13:2 ) and King Solomon ( 2 Chronicles 9:13 ), who were extremely rich, which raises the question, as to whether, some of the wealth was passed down or trickled down to Jesus, from the many kings and other well-to-do people in His bloodline? Could Jesus have been less well-off, given the wealth and greatness of His descendants?

Abraham was some 2,000 years before Christ, and David some 1,000 years.

it's frankly ridiculous to argue that every one of their hundreds and hundreds of descendants were rich, thousands of years later, just because they were - - especially given that we know Israel was sacked and burned and the people sent into exile in the intervening millinea more than once!

 

[Gideon300]

Let me assure you that you certainly did not come across as dogmatic in any way. It is good to be able to discuss the truths of the Scriptures like we are doing, without any unpleasantness.

I agree, a builder would build his own home, but as I said, Joseph's home was in Nazareth, and the incident we're discussing took place on the coast.

Fair enough. Some theologians say that they are different incidents, others say the same. I'll not argue the point.

 

[homwardbound]

Jesus is sometimes portrayed as a destitute wanderer or even homeless person, who had nothing and no place to call home? But do the scriptures support this depiction?

The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham….. - Matthew 1:1-16

Within the bloodline or genealogy of Jesus, were more than a dozen kings and other prominent Biblical figures. So, as a descendant of greatness and wealth, was Jesus really a nobody with nothing , in the material sense?
And among the ancestors of Jesus, were Abraham ( Genesis 13:2 ) and King Solomon ( 2 Chronicles 9:13 ), who were extremely rich, which raises the question, as to whether, some of the wealth was passed down or trickled down to Jesus, from the many kings and other well-to-do people in His bloodline? Could Jesus have been less well-off, given the wealth and greatness of His descendants?

An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take you, Mary your wife..”. - Matthew 1:20

Why did the angel address Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus by connecting him to the great king David? Why did the angel, find it necessary to remind Joseph of his royal bloodline?

And She brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn - Luke 2:7

Was Jesus born in a manger because His parents were poor or was it because there was no room at the inn or hotel? And if the parents of Jesus had the resources to stay at the inn or hotel, what does that say about their economic status? Did everyone have the resources to stay at the inn or hotel, in those days?
Even in our time, does everyone have the means to stay in a hotel, motel or inn?

And after entering the house, they saw the child with Mary His mother…… opening their treasure chests, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh - Matthew 2:11

What did the parents of Jesus do with these gifts of high value? Did they just keep the gifts or did they convert them into money and invested into something profitable? And how many people, in those days were fortunate enough to have high value products like gold? Did the parents of Jesus use the high value items for themselves or did they save them for their Son Jesus, to use when He grew up?

Foxes have holes and birds have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay His head - Matthew 8:20

Was Jesus really, saying that He did not have a home or was He saying that He was always traveling and never in one place permanently, like foxes go back to their holes and birds go back to their nests everyday?

But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow - Mark 4:38

If Jesus was asleep in a boat, with His head resting on a pillow, did He really have nowhere to lay His head? How many destitute people can be comfortably asleep in a boat, while other people operate the boat? Is this a picture of poverty or of someone with no resources? Did Jesus own or rent the boat?

And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophets, ‘He shall be called a Nazarene’ - Matthew 2:23

If Joseph, Mary and young Jesus lived in Nazareth, did they have a house there or did they just hang out in the streets? And if the prophets foretold, that Jesus would be a Nazarene or a resident of Nazareth, we’re they talking about someone, who would not have a home in Nazareth?
Also, when the wisemen visited Jesus in a house, whose house was that?

So when they had performed all things, according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth - Luke 2:39

Did Jesus and His parents return to their own city, Nazareth, but did not have a house there?

On the third day, there was a wedding, in Cana of Galilee…… both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding…. - John 2:1-2

Is it common for people with little or nothing to give, being invited to a wedding? And do destitute people normally dress up and attend social events, like weddings?

He chose twelve, whom He also named apostles - Luke 6:13

How did Jesus convince twelve men, to abandon their businesses and professions, plus long absences from their families, to join His traveling ministry, if He had no resources to make up for their sacrifice?

Jesus saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow me” - Luke 5:27

And how did the tax collector give up his profession, without a similar or better offer from Jesus? Do people usually give up the source of their livelihood, without anything in return?

He saw James and John his brother… mending their nets…. He called to them…. they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and went after Him - Mark 1:19-20

How many poor people have hired servants or employees? And how could anyone with little or nothing, attract businessmen to leave their business and join him?
These men weren’t just fishing for pleasure, they were professional fishermen, running a business with hired help or employees.

Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you… - Colossians 4:14

And once again, how did Jesus convince Luke, a medical doctor by profession to abandon his practice and follow Him? How many regular people are able to influence professionals and business people, to leave their careers and join the poor?
Why did Jesus seek professionals and business people, when He could get regular people much easier?

He was in the boat. There were also other boats with Him - Mark 4:36

Do regular people travel in a boat , accompanied or escorted by other boats?

But one of His disciples, Judas said, “why was this fragrance oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor - John 12:1-5

Why would Judas talk about giving to the poor, if Jesus and His disciples were poor themselves?

… he was a thief and had the money box, and he used to take what was put in it - John 12:6

If Jesus had very little financially, why did He need Judas to watch over or handle His finances? And if Jesus didn’t have much financially, why was Judas confident that he could steal some and not be detected?

When they had crucified Him, they divided His clothes by casting lots - Matthew 27:35

Why did the Roman soldiers want His clothes, after crucifying Jesus, if the clothes were ordinary or of low value? Do people usually cast lots, when regular people die, to see who will get their clothes or garments?

The fight has been and still is a warfare of Fallen Angels and fallen people from the chosen unbelief to God in the Garden of Eden, that Adam and Eve chose to eat from, desiring to be as are God and cannot attain perfection by working to have it.
However, we have the story in the First (Old) Testament of Man's/ woman's failures to be as God. Not one person perfect ever. But Son, The Messiah. Revealed to us all in the New Testament as risen after he first took on death once for everyone Hebrews 10:10, read the whole chapter please.
Jesus, to me is/was very clear, this world of evil is not his. That all flesh has chosen to sin,. Even the smallest sin is no better than bigger ones. By his one time willing death, he chose to take all sin out of the way for us through him. To now be able to have honest conversations With his, our Father now John 20, A- Bridge gap connection to get given new life in his risen Life after settling in self, that he did take away all sin John 1:29 for us all 1 John 2:1-2,12, Hebrews 10:10, that is done John 19:30 from his Father's, Daddy's, PaPa's sight for us to get given new life and be new in humility with sin not in the way any longer, as is unfortunately taught by religion(s), which gets people to try to do, what is now done by Son for them.
What??????????????????????? I got to do it too, don't I? Jesus did it?
Could anyone before Christ ever do perfect? Can anyone after Christ do perfect? Could anyone there at that time do perfect? The answer to that: either removes doubt or causes one to continue in doubt and those in doubt over the done work for them too, continue trying to not sin and sin all the. more in trying not to sin, and yet sin anyways, what a trap from the enemies of God. Paul the Apostle born by God, out of due time, expresses this truth in all the Epistles written to us to see, truth All God and none of self. When one, anyone has self doubt, questioning is like a sword that has two sides, confusion, that God is sharper than anyone, anything in flesh nature still. Needing the new born person from God to now work new in love and mercy through them in the risen Son for them too, IMHO not yet born new to see, and might be ready to see new as God calls all, not a few as is so often thought today in many religions, unfortunately so.
God is sharper than any two-edged sword
Hebrews 4:9-13

Therefore, your posts motive from you is at hand, For you to decide are you asking or are you promoting doubt? you know, I do not know or need to know, because God knows us all as in Romans 8:15-16 tells me so, thank you for the post I am elated, you need to be revealed truth over error from God to you in his love and mercy to accept and stand in believe to it too
Col 1:1-23 then Chapter 2 to be freed in and not use it for self either, thank you or anyone e else of human flesh either

Run a church? What is church? It's people meeting together. Can people do that without money? Of course they can. Do like they did back then; meet in houses.

How many people would be willing to use their house as a church, these days, with all the inconvenience that comes with it?
Back then the church was just starting out and had not really grown, so in the absence of church buildings, homes were the alternative, but not for long, as numbers grew.

look at the op . It’s suggesting jesus was well to do and had good money . So saying he paid for boats is attempting to support that

but really

“and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭8:2-3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

if Jesus and his disciples were well off I don’t think they would have been depending on women and other followers to help support them as they travelled from place to place preaching the gospel

When people support a ministry or church, it is not necessarily because the preacher is destitute and could not survive without them.
There is no record to indicate that Jesus and His disciples would have starved to death, without the help of the women. After all Jesus launched His ministry without the women, who showed up later.
People Support different organizations or causes, because they believe in the mission or goals and not because the leader or leaders will starve, without their help.

You are correct that many years passed in between, but God’s Word and blessings does not change with time. So, if God blessed other people before Jesus, why is it unreasonable to speculate, that Jesus may have been blessed also. Why would God bless so many other people in the Bible and skip or curse, His one begotten Son?
Can any good parent starve his own children, in his house, while feeding strangers in the street?

 

[MobileChapel]

Yep , my congregation is totally unpaid , no one takes any money for anything they do . We have a collection on Sunday for the upkeep of the building . Other congregations in my denomination just hire a local hall for a few hours a week to meet in . Not one member takes one penny for anything they do . All collections go to the upkeep of the building , which is very modest , or meeting place that they rent . A few smaller congregations in m

You can operate like that with a small church or ministry, but not when you have mega numbers.

 

[Suze]

Judas kept the purse and was the only one to think of the financial cost of the ointment that was poured on to Jesus's head . What does that tell us ?

yeah jesus could have miraculously fed them with a few fish is the thing he didint need to go buy the supplies. He needed some taxes so he told them to catch a fish the fish had the coin for the taxes in its mouth …..,I don’t think I said anyone was destitute or that Jesus would have starved or anything .


Just quoted from the Bible the fact that there were several women helping to support them from thier own means . Jesus wasn’t working as a carpenter and his disciples also weren’t working as fishermen tbey were going from town to town preaching the gospel.

“After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭8:1-3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

as far as money went they had a treasury which Judas kept and they also ate with friends and people who accepted him . Some of the means they were using to buy things came from those people it’s talking about is the point .

a there’s a split rly nothing in the bi me to say Jesus was well off or rich or even made above average income in his life .

What it does tell us is that things like money that we highly value aren’t valued highly by God . And that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil . We can also dedu e that we n Gods ways money is something to be used for needs and also something to be shared graciously and ei th a good heart with the less fortunate and needy.

We know we’re also told not to store up our treasures on earth we’re told we had nothing when we came into the world and will take none of it when we leave the world we’re told many many things about money both godly uses of it and evil uses of it .

mostly we’re told not to spend our lives worshipping and pursuing and chasing and making money the most important thing we have and do

Jesus wasn’t a rich guy there’s nothing at all to say that I mean “ they took his coat … so therefore that proves it was an exceptional and expensive coat ?

awe srent told much about Jesus earthly life before he began to preach the gospel bit when he did he wasn’t about making money and fulfilling his own desires like we are he began roaming through Israel from town to town working in the things of God .

pretty obviously many of his supporters were giving to the treasury to support thoer needs like food and drink ect I personally don’t think there’s anything to tell us Jesus eas rich or poor before he preached the gospel ….but more that he was offering the treasures of all of heaven when he began preaching it

and money wasn’t important like itnis in this world it was just something he warned them about loving and worshipping and being greedy with and taught then all to share with the needy

The ground is now under a curse, because of you… - Genesis 3:17

If the ground or earth, came under the curse, after Adam sinned, that means there was no curse in the earth, before Adam sinned. This also meant that everyone born the natural way after Adam , would be born in sin and therefore vulnerable to the curse in the earth, which included death, sickness, poverty and everything negative. Now, before the curse there was no death, sickness or poverty in the earth.
The question is how could Jesus be vulnerable to the curse, when there was no sin in him?

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself…. - John 10:18

Jesus Himself said, no one could kill Him, because there was no sin in Him and therefore was not vulnerable to the curse package - death, sickness and poverty.
So, if Jesus was not vulnerable to death, how could He be vulnerable to sickness and poverty?

I will strike the shepherd… - Matthew 26:31

Jesus said, He will strike or kill the shepherd, who was also Jesus. In other words, it was Jesus Himself, who decided to allow death to touch Him or afflict Him, when He drank the cup of humanity’s sin, in the garden and became sin. So, when Jesus voluntarily took human sin, He became vulnerable to the curse and therefore vulnerable to death. Before this, no one could kill Him, because there was no sin in Him. There were attempts to kill Jesus before the cross, but they all failed, because He had no sin in Him.
Now, the question is if death could not touch Him, because there was no sin in Hm, could sickness and poverty touch Him, when there was no sin in Him?

‘…things like money, that we highly value, aren’t valued highly by God’

Should we really believe, that Almighty God who lives in heaven, where the streets are paved with gold, does not value money or wealth?
No one is saying that Jesus was filthy rich, but there is also no indication, that He lacked, whatever He needed..
If Jesus could command a fierce storm to stop, if Jesus could command severe sickness and disease, to leave peoples bodies, if Jesus could command death to get out of Lazarus’s body and if Jesus could turn a few fish and a few loaves of bread, into thousands of fish and loaves of bread, why would it be far-fetched that the very same Jesus, could possibly turn a few dollars into thousands of dollars?

1st Timothy Ch 6 v 4-6 say it all for me . U do u and I will do me 😜 .

The gold of that land is good…. - Genesis 2:12

When God created the first humans, Adam and Eve, He put them in the garden of Eden, where there was gold of very high quality.

They shall also make the ephod of gold…. - Exodus 28:6

Why would God instruct His people to use gold in making the tabernacle, if they had no gold?

He overlaid the inside with pure gold…. - 2 Chronicles 2:4

King Solomon built God’s temple using pure gold?

….and presented Him with gifts of gold… - Matthew 2:11

When Jesus was born , He received gifts of gold?

The Most Holy Place, which had the golden altar….. - Hebrews 9:3-4

Under the Old Covenant, the altar in the temple was made of gold?

The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass - Revelation 21:21

Why would Gold be against humans prospering legitimately, when His streets are made of gold? Wouldn’t that be hypocritical? No human will ever be as rich as God.
Why would a billionaire care, if someone has only $200,000?
