Jesus was Transgender

NotBadConsidering
Obviously I meant Simon Woodman. All sorts of anecdotes I could mention but best not too.

Baby bird knew this, years ago 🙂

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened and thou shalt removeth they shoes on entering

No proper upstanding MN'er would open the door though. It would have to just be that appearing business like post crucifixion / resurrection.

If Jesus was an MNer, what would zhe post?

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened and thou shalt removeth they shoes on entering"

‘Love your neighbor as yourself unless there is a cf parking issue in which smite the bastards'

“I am the way and the truth and the life AIBU to feel a bit like I'm being put under too much pressure here?'

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand, but AIBU to consider a nanny?'

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and let the washing not be darkenethed upon'

I'm speechless, I really am.

A pal of Steve Chalke by any chance.

NABMALT (Not all Baptist ministers are like that)

they being the MEN on the cart, so vacuuming is a males job, they started it.

Oh ffs

the burly blokes at the turkish baths will be horrified.

Doesn't the Pope wash feet in the Maundy Thursday mass? That makes all the popes transgender by that logic.

will like... you know... vacuuming

The only person I know who likes hoovering is my small toddler. Definitely not one of my adult hobbies.

That birth would indeed have been a miracle

OMG did Jesus have a trans parent?

NotBad, there is actual footage and an interview with his mother available:

What was he really like? Was he secretly a sanctimonious prick?

Well he did feed the 5000. Sounds like a woman.

Who’s going to tell Gordon Ramsey he’s a woman?

This is the ultimate logic behind genderism. 'Man' and 'woman' are defined by cultural stereotypes.

I know him! Well years ago I did. Oh my goodness.

In fact, applying same ahistorical approach but carrying to logical conclusion: if Jesus had been trans Barabbas & humanity as a whole would’ve been out of luck because Pilate would have freed Big J on grounds of being too vulnerable for crucifixion

Ah yes, Jesus, Son of God, carpenter & secret sommelier.

It’s nothing new, the ZOMG LOOK AT JESUS DOING A WOMAN THING! - but to be honest, if people are going to clutch at Jesus’ subversion of gender norms, I prefer this 2016 effort that argues for the ordination of women in the Catholic Church because He’d overturn the patriarchy like He flipped the traders’ tables in the Temple…

Jesus is performing a wholly symbolic expression of humility - the only trans is that this can be counted into the pattern of transgressions that led to His eventual execution.

This sort of ahistorical imposition* is… embarrassing. It is very difficult & unfortunate (to say the least) that some denominations utterly reject the very concept of being transgender. People of faith who are trans should not feel they have to choose one over the other; & it is lovely if there are congregations who actively seek to make trans members feel welcomed. Trying to do it by claiming Jesus is trans is surely only going to backfire though - & I’m sure most transgender Peoples Of The Book would be mortified at the combination of what many would consider a literally diabolical misinterpretation of Scripture & a quite glib & shallow conceptualisation of “transgendering”.

• (obviously in the case of Jesus I am using ahistorical more broadly ie “were this to have happened in this way at that time”; but leaving aside examination of question of Jesus’ divinity - or indeed existence, for those who consider the evidence for that inadequate)

Funny isn't it.

They've recently announced that the Lovers of Modena (skeletons) who were thought to be male and female, are both male. No one has suggested one was a trans woman - not yet anyway.
