The text is ONLY funny if -- when read in its most literal sense, without any interpretive nuance or subtlety -- the reader KNOWS that he or she is being absurdly literal. But if the reader KNOWS this, then the reader also knows that Jesus Himself is not being literal here, and thus Jesus not only sounds interesting, the reader must admit to being aware of Jesus' deeper meaning. <br /><br />Clearly you recognize the deeper meaning.Bill Gnadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18343608982238562089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-23049825686143823892010-02-13T14:34:44.518-05:002010-02-13T14:34:44.518-05:00So is a fortune cookie...So is a fortune cookie...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504734487692109101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-40585677952747795612010-02-13T12:44:12.109-05:002010-02-13T12:44:12.109-05:00I guess it sounds kind of funny if you are just sh...I guess it sounds kind of funny if you are just shallowly reading it in passing, but if you really think about it, if only for a moment, it makes a lot of sense.Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-73065852690651297702010-02-12T23:51:46.621-05:002010-02-12T23:51:46.621-05:00Ginx, I'll give it to ya.
