If Arnold Schwartzenegger had played Jesus in The Passion, would his last words have been "I'll be back"?
-
That would have been strangely apt... apart from the whole Arnold Schwartzenegger playing Jesus bit. ;)
-
Stu, that was bad, but it reminds me of an improv show I saw last night. The topic was 'worst things to say when you're ice skating'. The guy walks out on the ice and looks back toward his buddies and says, "Hey! Bob! I'm Jesus!"
-
That's taken (the "I'll be back" bit) directly from the MTV Terminator 3 clip.
-
And here I was thinking "I'll be back" was referring to the three Terminator movies. Go figure

YOU BLASPHEMOUS ABOMINATION!
-
Oy. You guys. The MAD TV, sorry. Anyway, it was a cross between Jesus and Terminator. The Arnold stand-in said at the end of the clip, when Jesus was being led away to be crucified, "He'll be back", hence my comment. :rolleyes:
-
It would have made for a better movie.
-
Better than T3? That's not that hard. :-/

No. Arnie as Christ.

*imagines Arnie using the cross as a weapon against the romans... like a giant cudgel*

*imagines Arnie flexing his muscles, shattering the nails, having them fragment and explode, sending shrapnel into all his enemies*
*Imagines Arnie, after saving the day yet again, going down on Mary Magdeline*

It's kinda funny how people don't realize that the historical Jesus was actually buff since he spent almost 30 years of his life dragging around lumber as a carpenter.
-
That doesn't necesarily make him overly muscular or anything. Fit/Trim/Lean perhaps. I think the bigger oversite is Jesus as stereotypical Western European White vs. coloured, if at least somewhat.
-
:lol:
-
Actually, considering the amount of woodwork done in those days (next to nothing), he was probably a stone mason, not a carpenter. "Carpenter" is just an assumption of a bad translation.
-
Maybe, but that doesn't reduce the amount of work he'd have to do methinks.
BTW, why would there be less wood working required back then?
-
All the legislation forbidding use of the rainforests in Egypt and the middle East for lumber severely hampered the woodworking business. ;)
-
Primarily because of the cost of nails and the other assorted joining materials. It would've been cheaper to carve the structures and stuff from stone, almost the exact opposite of today where stonework is considered extravagant and only for the rich.

I keep saying it. Jesus was obviously black (or irish). All this no room at the inn stuff is just a bit too suspicious for me :D

Wow, I didn't know that. *makes additional note to learn ancient Greek* Cheers. :)
-
Hm.... a black Jesus....
I'm getting all too unappropriate Mr.T references here.
-
When it comes to Mr. T, nothing is inapproproate.
-
Considering one of the shops I passed to day was selling a jesus action figure (with posable arms and wind up realistic gliding action) I don't think there's that much left that is inappropriate to Jesus either :D
-
Now imagine a wind up Ahrnie-Jesus action figure.... :nervous:
-
I'd buy it.
-
Ahhhhh.... but did it float?
-
Apparently the assumption that He was actually a stone mason and not a carpenter isn't indicated one way or the other in the Greek, it's just a supposition based on the amount of trees Israel had back then vs. the amount of stone, along with the ratio of stone houses to wooden houses. ;)
And if you look at all the trees in modern-day Israel and think I'm a loon, then read Mark Twain's account of his travels through this area ~100 years ago - completely and utterly devoid of trees (from what I've heard, that is).
