Jesus was a Hippy

In the bible when Jesus is born one of the wisemen gives him the oil of a "sacred herb", alot of people think this herb was Hash.

how would the conseratives feel about that? Their savior was a long haired pot head haha.

 

Jesus came from Judeo roots, not Pagan.

 

Jesus was a really hippie,he loved everybody,he fighted for peace,he helped the poor,was fighting with the big people.And he teached hippie wisdom.I dont think he wanted the christians to be like they are today,I think he wanted free people,ho love everybody.

 

Jesus was a Nazarite so therefore he was not supposed to cut his hair or beard.

 

I think people shouldn't put a label on Jesus like this. Of course he wasn't pagan, nor christian, but he (willingly or not) is the source of christianity. I wouldn't be suprised if he would be ashamed of this religion that's called after him.
Also, we don't know much about the person Jesus at all. The argument that his long hair and beard makes him a hippie would be hilarious if you people didn't ment it seriously.
Not everyone who is anti-war and encourage people to love eachother has to be a hippie. Especially not someone who lived 2000 years before the term was invented. Please don't put him in your favourite subculture. You're just like the christian conservatives that way.

 

I've put Socrates in my favourite subculture! After all, this is just for fun, at least for me it is. He pre-dates Jesus by 500 or so years, so Jesus can't be the first Hippie. He didn't have a job! He walked the market's of Athens BAREFOOT! He liked to question peoples beliefs, and used logic to help deeper understand issues. He taught about ethics and virtue and believed the best way for people to live was to focus on self-development rather than the pursuit of material wealth. Yip, he were a Hippie.

 

jesus was a revolutionary. Compassion is revolution.

 

Just a few more ideas, well, I never said he was a christian, but, a loving idividual who lived his ideals. The christian title was given to him later. He was a true free spirit and a friend to ALL.

 

He was a Jew who got his religious training elsewhere. Other wise he would of been like your average Jew , with a rock in his hand ready to stone the prostitute he slept with a few days before, because she was working on the sabbath.

 

I'm not using the term Jew in a bad way either. He was Jewish.

 

Jesus is just like any other deity. we create a mental construct and project onto him the image that appeals to us. this is the function of gods/goddesses.

 

nope. jesus was a white, straight, american male. with short well cut hair and non-threatening facial hair. he loved freedom(for people like him) saved fetus's and kept marriage sacrad. he also approved strongly of the establishment, and all actions, because the government knows best. he also never did drugs, especially the evil marijuana(or satan's weed) witch was put on the earth to separate the Christians from the sinners. by now you may have realized im speaking sarcastically. well done. yeah jesus was so a hippie

 

sounds a lot like GWB , except for that never doing drugs thing

 

Aren't we all beating around the bush here and ignoring the idea that Jesus is God incarnate. I think his understanding of the True Meaning of being human was such that he actually became the deity in human form. He understood as God understood and therefore He was God. Which brings us back to the original question - Was Jesus a Hippy. I know he despised violence - ie: the scene in the garden where a diciple cut the ear off a soldier to defend Jesus - what did Jesus say - that the disciple didn't understand at all - he picked up the ear and placed it back on the man. He hated prejudice ie: the Samaritan. He hated the greedy - ie: the rich man and Lazarus - the Lazarus wound up at the bossom of Moses while the greedy man cried out from Sheol.

He loved those different than him - ie; prostitutes and the insane. Remember the possesed man who ran around naked and cut himself.

He was poor - he did not even have a house to sleep in. He shared what he had and frequently shared more than He had. He did not care about clothes or fine meals or beautiful people or riches. His joy came from serving.

ENOUGH - I think my point is that Jesus was God incarnate - He Was much closer to a hippy that to a corporate executive which would make God a hippy - Making us - with hippy values closer to the Creator.

 

Haha, yes!! God is a hippie (at least the core values of hippies)

hmm I wonder what someone like His Holiness the Pope Benedict XVI would say..

The Plan of Salvation

( by Mageth )

God himself created man and woman and placed them in a garden, in “his own image”, but got righteously angry at them when they ate, against his wish, and after being tempted by a talking serpent that god himself had somehow allowed to slither about in the garden, a tasty, beautiful fruit, though he himself had placed it there but neglected to instill in his creations the knowledge of good and evil so that they would know it was wrong to eat it. Being omniscient, of course, he knew all this before he started, but was apparently unable to do anything about it because he had planned it this way from the beginning, and apparently god cannot change anything he already knows, in spite of the fact that he’s omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent.

Later, God himself impregnated a virgin so that he himself could be born a human, a ManGod. This was necessary, apparently, because only his own ManGod blood could appease himself and deliver humans, who he created, and who he knew would muck things up by eating the fruit, from his own righteous anger.

Of course, he waited several thousand years to implement this divine plan, in the meantime taking the righteous action of drowning every creature on the planet except a few he could stuff on a boat. Not to mention handing down a Law that served to further condemn every one of us, and in which Law he himself had them frequently sacrifice animals to appease himself, though he knew the blood of animals didn’t really appease himself.

Much later, god, in a garden, prayed to himself to “take this cup” away from himself, though he himself knew that he himself had planned the coming events from the beginning and knew that not even he himself could save himself, even though he was god and omnipotent, omniscient, etc. Accepting this, he said, in effect, “Not my will, but my will.”

God then sacrificed himself to himself to save us from himself. (or had himself sacrificed; not much of a distinction between the two, really) Before dying, he himself asked he himself why he had forsaken himself.

He himself, being dead, then raised himself from the dead less than 40 hours later, though he himself had said he’d be dead for three days and three nights, which he could do because he was still alive, and later he himself pulled himself up into heaven where he himself apparently already was, and where he himself is described as now sitting at the right hand of himself.

He himself then sent himself (or a ghost of himself, if you please) back to earth to be a comfort to us, though he himself is still sitting at the right hand of himself.

And, glory hallelujah, he himself promised that he himself will return someday, though he himself is already here, and will still be there, to snatch up those who believe the god blood sacrifice story he himself told us, and kill the rest of us who don’t believe the god blood sacrifice story, no matter how nice we were otherwise. But, since killing us isn’t enough to appease his righteousness, he himself will then judge us, though according to ManGod he himself will also not judge us, and being a god of love will cast most of us into hell for an eternity of suffering. He has to, of course, because he is a righteous, just god, and can’t figure out a way to save anyone who hasn’t been redeemed by god-blood, even though he is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent, and loves us all.

 

Nawh, Jesus was a redneck. Plain & Simple.
