Could Jesus Microwave a Burrito....

Homer asked Ned on the Simpsons "Could Jesus make a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?"

Go...

 

No. For in order for god to eat said burrito he would have to return in the form of a human. This would ruin the story of his only son Jesus and would take away from the point being made with the only martyr son.

 

no one invited this God guy to the burrito eating party, it's all about the JC

 

Yes, you're right However god and JC were supposedly the same person/thing. Anyways...could JC create said burrito?

My answer is still no. For Jesus was a man. A human man, he felt pain and what not. He wouldn't be able to make the burrito for it would burn his hands. However, if an extremely hot burrito somehow appeared before him (say from god) he would, in that case, not be able to eat it, for it would be too hot. And what kind of hot is this anyway? Spicy hot or heat hot?

I have a much better question. Could Jesus create a herd of sheep so unruly and wild that he himself could not shepard them?

 

Ohk ohk, Well I mean, when would he be making the burrito (...year) ? Was it documented this fella could handle burning hot objects?

well if you believe jesus is god and god created human...

 

HA! I love this response!

 

This question seems to be an odd variant of the old saw: "Could God make a rock He couldn't lift?" The answer is Yes or No. Omnipotence doesn't extend to being able to do logically inconsistent things like make something that is black and white all over. God could make a rock He couldn't lift only by limiting His powers in that particular area. Could He do this? Presumably yes, since that's how the whole free will thing comes about. Is it inconsistent with being omnipotent? I don't think so, for reasons previously explained.

Throwing in Jesus gets into a whole new theological issue. As a previous poster explained, Jesus was human. Some theologians believe that this is another example of God delimiting His own powers. Just how far the delimiting went isn't clear, so the question is unanswerable. The hypothetical about the burrito is historically/culturally incongruous. Would Jesus even know what a burrito is and want to make one? I'd say, probably not. As for the sheep, He was a carpenter,not a shepherd. Unruly tables he could handle. He demonstrated His ablity to handle demonically possessed swine, but as for non-demonically possessed sheep, the Bible says nothing about that, so it's all speculation.

 

I think we're all missing the most important question here, which is: Could Jesus make a vegetarian burrito that tastes as good as a beef burrito? Cuz if he could, he could make millions with a burrito franchise and donate a major share of the profits to keep churches going.

 

You really should quote things when you take them for others!

 

Good point!

 

applying the laws of physics.. Jesus wouldnt eat it cause it would be to hot. Just as if humans could live forever/ you couldnt walk on the ocean floor - cause thats just stupid.. The laws of Life apply to the living.. If Jesus is the living G-d he wouldn't do Bs magic tricks just to make people happy...

 

Interesting comment. Are you suggesting I took something from someone else without putting it in quotation marks or attributing it? And what might that be?

 

Yes. He would have control over it though, so it can change to edible temperature in no time.

 

yes, by waiting and being Patient while it cools off..

 

Well that's convincing.

Why are we taking it for granted that all living things are bound to the same rules? And would a being's level of understanding (whether intellectual or intuitive) have an effect on the laws that apply to it? If so what does that say about your original statement?

You're right, and he doesn't have to. God is the source for all the rules you think you understand or are bound to. You exist in them, in his word.

 

He wouldn't have to wait. He would decide at the time of eating, or would have decided in advance. Or he'd let the Father decide for him

 

Being a trained carpenter as well as a renown soul peddler, I guess that if he could build tables and chaires, then he could surly microwave a burrito. I would, however, have my doubts as to wether he could actually toss a pancake into the air, and catch it with the frying pan that he cooked it with. Now that would be a freaking miracle.

 

Since the Burrito didn’t come along until the 1930s it’s a question that will have to wait until his second coming
