What ethnicity was Jesus? A little humor

March 14, 2009 6 Comments

I bumped into this online (no author I could find) and it made me laugh. I think it’s been around for a while. Thought you’d enjoy…

WHAT ETHNICITY WAS JESUS?

Scholars have long debated the exact ethnicity and nationality of Jesus.
Recently, at a theological meeting in Rome, scholars had a heated debate on this subject. One by one, they offered their evidence…

THREE PROOFS THAT JESUS WAS MEXICAN:
1. His first name was Jesús
2. He was bilingual
3. He was always being harassed by the authorities

But then there were equally good arguments that…..

JESUS WAS BLACK
1. He called everybody “brother”
2. He liked Gospel
3. He couldn’t get a fair trial

But then there were equally good arguments that…..

JESUS WAS JEWISH
1. He went into his father’s business
2. He lived at home until he was 33
3. He was sure his mother was a virgin, and his mother was sure her son was God

But then there were equally good arguments that…..

JESUS WAS ITALIAN
1. He talked with his hands
2. He had wine with every meal
3. He used olive oil

But then there were equally good arguments that…..

JESUS WAS A CALIFORNIAN
1. He never cut his hair
2. He walked around barefooted
3. He started a new religion

But then there were equally good arguments that…..

JESUS WAS IRISH
1. He never got married
2. He was always telling stories
3. He loved to walk in green pastures

But, perhaps the most compelling evidence…..

THREE PROOFS THAT JESUS WAS ACTUALLY A WOMAN…..

1. He had to feed a crowd at a moment’s notice even
when there was no food

2. He kept trying to get the message across to a bunch
of men who JUST DIDN’T GET IT

3. Even when he was dead, he had to get up because there
was still more work for him to do !

    What if I told you that Jesus was Mexican, Italian,scotch Irish, German, Armenian, Arab, Jewish, Haitian, and Nigerian and a descendent of Queen Sheba. He was the man of sorrow, hosiah, Emanuel, Jehovah and Muhammed and Jesus were the same Messiah!
