[What if?] Lead codices suggest that Jesus was gay

[MobBoss]

He just wanted to "Know" and "Remain" with him, Mobby

I really recommend you buy a Strongs concordance, and look up what the root words in those translations really mean so your not quoting them out of context so much.

When biblical authors wanted to talk about genitals, they sometimes talked about “hands,” as in the Song of Solomon, and sometimes about “feet.” Coogan cites one passage in which a baby is born “between a mother’s feet”; and another, in which the prophet Isaiah promises that a punitive God will shave the hair from the Israelites’ heads, chins, and “feet.” When, in the Old Testament, Ruth anoints herself and lies down after dark next to Boaz—the man she hopes to make her husband—she “uncovers his feet.” A startled Boaz awakes. “Who are you?” he asks. Ruth identifies herself and spends the night “at his feet.”

From this, Coogan makes a rather sensationalistic exegetical move. When he is teaching to college students, he writes, someone inevitably asks about the scene in Luke, in which a woman kisses and washes Jesus’ feet—and then dries them with her hair. Is that author speaking about “feet”? Or feet?

We should really get to know each other, Mob.

Would you like to know his 'feet'?

 

[MagisterCultuum]

If I recall correctly, the Hebrew word generally translated foot actually refers to the entire leg.

Very much so.

It's a fine day when Newsweek and the Guardian are treated as serious authorities on theology and religious history

Now that's just showing off.

They are reporting on a book, not the actual research.

It's not like he claimed he put his foot in his mouth. Now that would be showing off.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

And I thought the drying the feet with hair was bad

I haven't even got around to analyzing Toby Keith lyrics yet.

Then use the book, not the article.

 

[Ajidica]

I don't have the book.

Which of course has it actually makes sense!

Song of Solomon IS supposed to be erotic poetry of sorts, so whatever.
