A most pressing question
deus, rio de janeiro, brazil, originally uploaded by Ling Ling Ang.
I was having a conversation today, and the issue turned to what happens when Jesus returns to redeem us all. No, we didn't talk about armageddon or the rapture, but more pedestrian issues: would Jesus be a Catholic, or Jewish?
Personally, I think Jesus would go to the synagogue. After all, Jesus was Jewish. Why would he suddenly join a different religion? I think it'd be kind of narcissistic of Jesus to join a religion that worships Himself. I mean, excessive pride is a deadly sin. It wasn't Jesus' idea to start a new religion centered around Himself. Jesus' whole thing was that he was the savior of the Jews, so why would He all of a sudden abandon Judaism? It doesn't wash, in my opinion.
