Title: Jesus told his disciples to steal?
Post by: tymygy on September 10, 2010, 10:28:10 PM
This is Mark Chapter 11:2-5

"and He said to them, 'Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. 3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.'"

Now, not only did jesus not ask permission, but I thought god/jesus was all knowing? If he knew someone was going to ask his disciples "why are you doing this" would he have told when "and WHEN anyone says to you...."?

I'd love to hear what you think about this, and please share other verses that share this hypocrisy.

 :D

Add it to the list (list reposted from the other Jesus thread):

What would Jesus do?
He’d give drunken men more wine. (John Chapter 2)
He’d spit on a blind guy. (John 9:6)
He’d get intimate with a hooker. (Luke chapter 7)
He’d ask to be alone with children. (Mark 10:14)
He’d beat up people for having a church fundraiser. (Matt chapter 21)
He’d steal a little boy’s lunch and give it to strangers. (John Chapter 6)

Even that is technically a repost from another forum.  I had started a thread entitled "what would Jesus do?"  It quickly devolved into Mexican jokes, though.   :shake:
