Highly recommended too.

Jesus, don't make it bad.
Remember to let her into your heart,

Who is "her"?

[d000hg]

+1. I work with someone called Jesus. But its pronounced hesus.

Jesus, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Jesus, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, Jesus, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Jesus, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, Jesus, begin,
Youre waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, Jesus, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Jesus, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na na na ,na na na, Jesus...

Elvis. Thank you very much.

That sounds like the setup for a very improper joke.

Hurry up then.

[d000hg]

Indeed but very few of them had the appendage of Christ

just like there is a lot of evidence there are people called Jordan now.


Was Jesus a common name back when he was alive? - Slate Magazine

[vetran]

There is a lot of supportive material that a person called Jesus actually existed between 2 BC and 36AD (ish) the argument is what manner of person was he - i.e. just another Prophet, Son of God, or a very very naughty boy ?

HTH

FYI Jesus is alive or dead according to whether you have faith or not.

Schrodinger's Jesus?

[NotAllThere]

...FYI Jesus is alive or dead according to whether you have faith or not.

No. I don't think his vitality is based on whether you have faith. He either is or he isn't - your beliefs on the matter are irrelevant.

Since Peter was the first pope, is the church of the circumcision the forerunner of the catholic church? (There's little evidence that Peter was part of the circumcision movement in any case - he seems rather to have come under pressure from the movement, and didn't stick up for his principles - hence his rebuke from Paul).

Anyway... Ezekiel, Gilgamesh, Feynman.

I'd like to ask Jesus of Nazareth wtf is going on

You'd be better off asking St Paul, without him Christianity would more than likely have been just another Jewish sect, just as St Peter wanted it it to be. It was Paul who argued for the relaxation of the Jewish customs that made it unpalatable to the gentiles i.e. circumcision, eating of pork etc. Interestingly one of the earliest surviving works of Christian art in Santa Pudenziana Rome show's the still existent split between the church of the circumcision headed by St Peter and the church of the ex circumcision headed by St Paul. BTW this Friday is the feast day of St Paul's conversion.
