    I’m not a biblical scholar, like at all, but isn’t that exactly the sort of thing he’d say/ do?

        Like yeah I don’t, but didn’t he curse a fig tree for not having fruit, while it wasn’t fig season?

        Didn’t he get himself executed for like being offended that people were doing business at the temple?

        How is that not taking shit personally and arguing with strangers?

        You don’t think he’d be like coming in hot on a comment chain?

        Pft. Guy admits he’s not a biblical scholar then proceeds to have an opinion on the matter. Ridiculous

          It’s not a bad thing to ask for clarifying questions… How the flying fuck do you think people learn things from people who are scholars/teachers/experts!? Did you never ask a single question in school or your job(s)?? How the fuck do you learn without questions?

          You being upset at this is pathetic.

      Extra-canonically he was certainly talking a lot about dank images:

      Jesus said, “When you see your likeness, you are happy. But when you see your images that came into being before you and that neither die nor become visible, how much you will have to bear!”

      • Gospel of Thomas saying 84

      […] Jesus said to them, “When you make the two into one, […] an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom].”

      • Gospel of Thomas saying 22

      (This was more relating to Plato’s concept of eikon and what was effectively a version of the simulation hypothesis in antiquity, but if we throw out the context it could potentially be talking about making memes.)
