The stuff we were taught about the bible, when you look into it, turns out not to be true, or the subject of the many translation errors from Hebrew, Aramaic, ancient Greek, Greek new testament and King James translation.

Just a few things to ponder over as I am going off line shortly.

Jesus was not actually called Jesus, he was called Yeshua (Hebrew) which translated to Joshua in English.

Jesus was probably not a carpenter, he was described as being a "Tekton", this was the name given to trades in general, and if you think about it wood was a scarce commodity.

We all have a mental visual image of Jesus, yet his description is not stated in the bible. So how have we got the image of a young man with long hair a beard and a kindly face.

my comments are not to disprove the almighty, just to make you think that religious teachings down the years have been massaged to present an image that never existed.
