This post is partially humorous, partially based on an honest search... If you didn't like the title of this post you probably shouldn't read it, as it would probably not be of interest for you... I apologise in advance for any possible offence from now on...
There are many stereotypes of Jesus, but in reality we know so little of the historical Jesus... We can read the gospels which were written by a group of Jews followers at the time of Jerusalem's destruction by the Romans...at least 30 to 40 years after Jesus died...I imagine quite a tragic and sensitive time... The image the older ones might have still kept, and the oral tradition that might have carried most of the stories and parables we read today...it was probably their own construction of what became the experience of God s spirit in their lives, after Jesus' died... a minority group among the many Jews who lived under the oppressive imperial domination system of Rome...
Let's have a look, if you want to amuse yourself, with some stereotypes that survived the ages until now...
