Beer With Jesus

I heard this song on the radio today and thought it would be interesting to share here. What would you ask Jesus if you got the chance?

 How tacky! Too bad the song writer doesn't have the  brains to be able to compose a song that didn't connect Jesus to beer. Tacky tacky tacky

You don't think JeHu was connected with high brew'n thoughts?

He turned an enormous amount of water to wine, if we accept the Biblical text. Then he asked us to remember him whenever we eat bread and drink wine, Doesn't sound teetotal to me… (mind you, the way Canadians drink beer out of the bottle — a great way to gulp the  stuff down without actually having to taste or see it — says everything you can usefully say about North American industrially produced and misleadingly labelled "beer" — and Canadians' motives for drinking the stuff). Wine invites more discernment, complements food (or should) and helps digestion. Most North American beer just kicks in the gag reflex.

Hi Somegalfromcan---I believe Jesus would set well you had a beer. All though ,I believe His drink is wine. But well He walked the earth , He did go to talk to those who drank where they were. They called Him a drunk for doing it.He meets and saves others where they are . Liarers , cheats ,Killers, thieves.Breakers of the Laws. A drunk can not ,get into GODS Kingdom. The Lord Jesus job, is to try and help all the will except come in.The fact the singer wants to talk with Jesus ,is ok with me. GOD BLESS Him.  airclean33.

Was Jesues or JeHu, however you wish to spell it, drunk on life?

 

High Brew'n tongues are so much babble to those that haven't learned from the whole thing ... Jah Shue was a brewer of concepts to knock down wahls ... kill em laughing with a the last verse of This Ole House ... and Gabriels Trumpet at the door!

 

Some say this song of da'ath wouldn't be appropriate in their temple but I'D drink to ET ... even po' phoqah deserve a whine once in a while ... when it's time to get out a 'ere ... NDE? Some people in altered state see visions of grandeur that creates a mystical change in them ... other's refuse to get out of that state as supposed children of man-Gods ... they can't differentiate , or integrate what's out there ...

 

And I am expected as a man of the church ... not to think ... put your braen on the shelf ... like that man in Egypt that saved his cede 've thought ... ended with a figgy mind ... all weasel'd up ... by the autocrats!

I am quite enjoying the 'Coffee With Jesus' strips on Radio Free Babylon. Jesus throws some good zingers. Cheeky boy.

Nice song.  I'd love to sit and talk with Jesus over a beer on a hot day, or a cup of coffee anytime.

 

And yes, I hope that I would listen more than I talked.

If you don't like the idea of beer with Jesus, that's fine - substitute something else like coffee a slice of pizza.

 

I'm still curious to hear what people would ask Jesus if they got the chance. I think I'd want to know things like his thoughts on politics, the environment and the United Church.

Well I do enjoy beer and a glass or too of wine maybe even several. Now to have a beer with Jesus or several would be interesting seeing that i enjoy talking about religion after several drinks. We might even agree on somethings and we might even have a few choice words with each other but in the end we might end up being freinds.

If He and I were to have a beer some day:

1. I would love the opportunity for a miracle that would deliver some fresh, Chinese beer. (lovely stuff, but doesn't travel well).

2. I wouldn't ask Him anything. In the light of how much He has told us, and told us very clearly, I would be too embarassed to ask more questions when we've barely lifted a finger to carry out the advice we've had for two millenia.

I think listening and observing would be far more important than trying to direct the conversation with my questions. 

 

But if he asked I might ask his advice on how I could react in a positive way to a troubling situation between myself and another, who used to be a friend.

This is Exodus again ... for God's people didn't wish to know de Light ... primarily a grumpy bunch after the fall ... of their Mum and Dad ... a sort of screw up in thought patterns ... or did they know what they were doing?

 

Some of us were clearly mistake'n coming here ... to dimension where they already think they know it all when are state of knowledge mostly ... isn't! That's de void ...

 

Child or Erse free state of skett land ... opposes the York shire m'n as land casters ... fecundity? Such is life ... a pure metaphor that many have missed the meaning of ... Joyce? Such a delight to move on ... Daedalus!

Is there any beta wha to get a rise out of an absolute authority than to tell eM something they don't know? Keep some anon-sense up Eyore slieve there em are auld! Green as juiced ... sapience ...

 

Saponification, there's a wash, like catharsis ... when you Luce ID all to the other'sID ...

 

You'd not get anything out of this without the father's of phonetics, Phonecians, those that red into the depth of the silent script ... Hebrew'n thoughts ... dream catchers? These are aboriginal brae'ns ... containing mined dimensions as divined ... divine in da wadii ... alien in Gael Isle He ... near nothing ... if nothing is Love ... a big wash like shamayim, with Urs ... cattle coming down the sides ... ghost writers ... lord a Goshen the dais of saints ... up deire indi 'ead! Gabrielle's hommoe ... that's a form in Greek like a hard Jared thing ...

 

Some people do not believe in thoughts or anything attached as way out ... sort of mythy call like Gabrielle onðe horn ...

Hi somegalfromcan,

I, am an abstainer.  It is my choice and I have no problem with folk who choose different so . . . presuming Jesus is having a beer and I am drinking a root beer the first question I would most likely ask is:

 

(This would probably be after I order my Root Beer and while we were waiting for the wait staff to bring it).  Did you know that Root Beer is derived from the roots of Sassafrass trees and that when you gently bruise a leaf of the Sassafrass tree it smells like Froot Loops?

 

That would be a good ice breaker (probably more necessary for me than for him).

 

Other questions following in no particular order would be:

 

1)  Predestination?  Are we close to understanding something or not?

 

2)  Judas?  Sheep or Goat the narratives suggest but do not actually say.

 

3)  Grace?  Am I in the ballpark on that one?

 

4)  Have you read the Gospels?  If yes, what is the most surprising thing you found in them?

 

5)  All the people in the world and you are sitting here with me.  Am I going to like where this conversation eventually goes and will it end well?

 

Grace and peace to you.

John

"5)  All the people in the world and you are sitting here with me.  Am I going to like where this conversation eventually goes and will it end well?"

 

Probably not as it addresses all the other questions about whether mortals like the truth about nothing and the infinite ... the mortal sol' doesn't stretch that far except ... in the infinite form ...that's sometimes eerie, Eire, or even 'airy in Hebrew'n high spirits that have a deeper side ...

 

Harry; having a profound Icon about itself in Semite belief systems that blank soles cannot appreciate as satire on something else again ... sort of like an aura ... of glory ... some men like to simulate that ... when that apprears to have benn primarily a women's world thing-heh ... thats mim in Arabic! A small nothing that starts things going ... but demands great reverence if you think about it. But religious teaching tends to sway away from process theology as it it were noetihc stuff! That would lead to the dessication of the brae'n and the wadii that's important exiting the situation as fully exposed to Saul!

 

This leaves dry gulches and nichs on the brain, if it lacks cool clear wadii as athe aught ... latent to the ID and hated by those that suffer NV ... wishing to get further ahead of the little GUI and the book says we should always lend a hand ... biere'n up to the nonsense of this side of the infinite ... God does have a satirical side known as reverse psychology! Chaotic place to visit ... like a babylonian storm god! Must be mired ... infantile dirt so to speak, a small thing, compared to the other things out there to learn that mortal doesn't ... believing he knows enough to get i God ... with or without sol' ... a practical thing to be aware when in God's presence ... time bean a gift if you've ever glimpsed the other side where theree's on;y thought ... like La Xarious pondered in the inbetween state ... as a medium?

 

Could that biere a thought as fire in wadii ... eL Muse ...?

Sounds good to me as crumbs under the table and spelt biere ... the essence of psyche ... Shadow indi Light of the party that was here ... left baskets of leftovers for wee people ... small talk or just wee words to bult upon ... so it goes ... as they said in Slaughterhouse 5 ... working their way to the 6-fingered power with a'quill e 'as ... a bird of 2-dimensions as metaphor of the medium of the duck or dunkan ... of one who thought they knew all-ve-ite!

 

God I've forgotten so much that i can't remeber in the present state ... God forgive me for forgetting the marjor part ... a corp-aura-real sin? Would a mortal take a beating reviewing all that before the big test? Ruage winds of night in metaphor ... like a coyote without one leg ... Ahab that's eue ... does that provoke a Pi GUI of a Joke-Eire?

The behaviour down 'Eire must amuse eM above if only a dream ... of things yet to be ... let it rest .. don't poke ID ... the mind is a pig for what it don't know ... somolent in may incidents of expression ... of quantuum nature that hasn't a clue of up, or down or what's right or wrong in the Utilitarian Philosophy that too has been warped by the pyres of desire without larger clews ... that which wodin stop eM monkies born out of the tree have no reverence for the Shadow ... there are however higher forms of pri 8's that could set a man at right ang-eLs ...  infinte plasma ..?

 

Das Light eh! Flowers down on us like star-dust from the Big Miller's Cave, light particles that comes in waves of enlightenment ... seen well as it reflects don't look into des ourse Eire they say ... but one can probe indirectly ... like bouncing thoughts of the institution ... eventually you can gather something ... as denied thought!

 

Some people call this the sha myim ... a dark pool!

I like RevJohn's questions. Would we like the answers we get from talkin' one-on-one with Jesus? From what I understand great Masters like Jesus never, ever mince words. They are masters of energy and never waste talk on idle chatter. They also have the insight to know There audience and therefore have an an uncanny ability to "cut to the chase" very quickly and very effectively.

And I ask what is wrong with alien, strange that JayHu, used the Samaritan story to amuse the temple authority ... but they didn't find the idea that they should love the alien very amusing ...

 

Hay Margaret, ET' semi again, half of what was expected when you extract the anon-a'muse ... the one that can't masticate (rheumen-8) the remnents, grass roots!

 

Thus Jay Hoo was buried indi light of the Shadow ... why we never see Jay Hoo today. Man it is said, in the scripture, didn't wish to see God in this form ... they'd rather have him dark, unseen, an deep beyond them so they could remain basically ignorant as a communicable dis ease ... fear is good for separating the emotions from the desires as the Gods of density attempt to filter out the differences ... but I have to ask how? Withour Intellect! Wouldn't that be a ruagh course ... imagine the Sufi scholar's impression of God as abstract drivel across the page so those that like concise couldn't see it as expected ... nothing therebut black smudges ... keeps the flying emotional words down ... like they was dep-iths ... real corkers for the Jared ... mostly the rich and powerful who were drunk on power ... like old salts they need suite water to disperse eM!

 

Like teaching philosophy to 1st grade tiers ... the love of knowledge and wisdom ... otherwise doesn't go well with the proud ... they'd rather do just as they please çil vous plait, in twisted fashion of unraveling strings to do some weaving of your own ... civil plates so you can turn em over and ignore what's on eM!

 

Right on the monii eh about dispesing with the physical wealth thingy?

Chansen,

I' embarassed with you ... it's not just priestal forms that phoqah up the young minds with telling not to think while analizing that which wasn't to be thunk about as cardinal roué-L ... the bloody Queen of oddities is an authority telling a fresh mind not to think ... just because the old one failed at it!

 

Ignorance does rule as a conspiracy in this dimension that people don't have to think about ... it just does ...

 

My mother told me to go to University and get that piece of paper and big monii ... but don't listen to what they teach as it's evil ... and then her minister had the Ba'aLs to say she was saved, santified and consecrated as an unthunk persona ... virgin dirt eh? Then they wonder why real dirt is 1/10 15th negative power ... open space with most of it occupied with negative electrics ... the shocking void 've all that we think is real ...

"what is the most surprising thing you found in them?"

 

That's easy ... satire, the oldest and most flattering thing to say to the near purely spiritual ... emotional without sole to stand upon ...

 

Kind a gives pause for the unconscious (somnolent) to think ... not lent but rent like the fabric of the other's temple by what you's like to do to eM without the genteel style 've writ ... whispers in their ear? Masma, eue say ... then the Black Sheepish does it anyway in the Shadow of such ignorance ...

 

See one needs'ole to get into the Afar, Abstract realm to be mindful of the stranger of Gael 'Llii, the storm behind you ... as a pure metaphor for the unseen ... oppressed psyche, the whiz art behind God ... sacred wisdumb ... God didn't know what "He" was getting into ...

 

But then who knows the sublime in the Icon of "He" ... distant understandings ... or just underpinings of the soul of Ka Li Jah ...? That pore ole wodin heart ...

Oh, Jesus and I would be shutting down the bar . . . cause I'd have LOTS of questions!

 

He wouldn't get a chance to drink a lot, because, he'd be doing a lot of talking between each question . . . as he sipped on his beer, I'd sip on my Diet Coke . . .

 

Most of the questions would be about him, and God, and the spirit.  A few would be about heaven.  And the majority of them would start with the word "WHY".  There would also be a few "WHATS".

Beer with Jesus?

 

Well being a practical person I'd ask him if he was paying or if I was?

 

Then I would ask him if I would be responsible if I get carried away and get drunk or if he would be.

 

Then I would clarify which one of us should be the designated driver.

 

After that I would just sit back and enjoy some time with my friend.
