Jesus' Father was God. He did NOT have a biological father!

The subject line tells it all...

Imagine if they'd had daytime talk shows and DNA testing back then?

Montel Williams, eat yer heart out.

My train of thought just derailed, my little yellow friend

Cant help but think of the last scene of Being There. Peter Sellers walking on water a-la you-know-Who. He who also starred in the *Pink Panther*. Coincidence?

Pavlos, you're in Greece, aren't you?

I took a college course called "Women in Antiquity." I learned that in ancient Greece, when women got pregnant out of wedlock, they would say that a god had impregnated them, so that instead of being looked at as a bastard, their child would be favored as a demi-god.

And wasn't the New Testament written in Greek?

Thanks,
Andrea

True on all accounts! Brilliant thinking :)
As a matter of fact, there are recorded cases of husbands boasting about how their wives were "honored" by gods within temples. The old "I-pretend-to-be-a-god-to-pork-one's-wife" trick :)

LOL! No, I didn't know about that trick! Don't think it would work now-a-days! Especially at my shul!

Coincidence, maybe. But one thing Inspector Clousseau did prove by his own example is that man *may* be descended from minkies.
