It is now woke to be in the same room as another race.
Add it to the list.
Hey, can we start calling things they like woke? Like Jesus Trump and church and flags n stuff? I bet we can destroy this word by just stealing it back.
Jesus was woke AF by their own loose definition of the word.
Radical compassionate homeless asexual socialist. He's woke af. I'm not a 100% sure on what woke is yet but I'm certain Jesus is woke.
Mary Magdalene might've disagreed.
They could have been bible study buddies 😂
Trump voters would've been the Romans crucifying Jesus because he was "disrespecting Roman authority" at the time and being a nuisance.
I think the MAGAs would've been the Jewish establishment in your analogy, while the Romans would've merely been "enlightened centrist" liberals who didn't really give a shit but wanted to keep order.
They are definitely turning on Jesus and have been for quite some time now. There is an interesting statement from the former head of SBC wherein he states churchgoers are finding Jesus' supposed teachings as being too woke and part of a liberal agenda. Can't make this up. It was only a matter of time.
But Jesus also didn't like mixing. That is why he instructed the apostles and other adherents to never teach gentiles and Samaritans. That was retconned years later by the church because they said people had visions of a resurrected jesus commanding them to mix with gentiles. But for a while there it was very much a racial/ethno in-group only. That is why Jesus supposedly stated he taught in parables; so gentiles wouldnt understand what he was talking about and find salvation. That is what Matthew 13:11-17 is about.
People need to stop characterizing Jesus as some socialists woke advocate like I see in this thread. His character wasn't. He didn't preach universal love and compassion, and he taught contradictory messages about pacifism probably because dozens of people created this character over centuries.
I honestly think people want to think the religion can't be that bad and that the adherents are just awful.
Many scholars believe that the reason they were told to not preach to Samaritans and Gentiles was that his disciples were not ready to face cross cultural rejection. This is because of their earlier exposure to this rejection by Samaritans in which they wanted to respond by fire and brimstone. Jesus rebuked this response then. Later on, he instructs them to make disciples of all nations.
The passages in Matthew are referring to those that do not listen to his teachings (by choice), not the Gentiles. He's saying they will not receive his blessings if they do not listen and learn from his teachings.
💀
Let's not forget that these same people kept telling us to and I quote: "WAKE UP SHEEPLE" And now they get all pissed off that people woke up.
Also what is the opposite of woke? Sleep? Go to sleep? Sounds dystopian as fuck.
Not to mention the QAnon shit with "the great awakening" where "the deep state" finally gets exposed and locked up. These people are morons.
No offence, but Joe Rogaine was a moron from the start and his podcasts were always bottom of the barrel garbage
