the wedding at cana is pretty hilarious, how mary is like "jesus, we ran out of wine" and he reacts insanely annoyed, like "MOM, i'm LITERALLY GOD, leave me alone with your stupid errands!!" but she knows he'll do it anyway and immediately tells the staff to just do what he says.

@georgia @lain jesus is both god and man and getting annoyed at your mom is a core part of the human experience

@georgia @lain I became an eternal vampire on October 25th, my kundalini fully BLASTED out of my skull and now I have both eternal life and no life force. The vampiric transition is now complete.

When will I get called back for rejuvenation, reprogramming, and hibernation?

@nerthos @lain he was wholly man in the sense of he suffered like one not in the sense of he was cruel

@georgia @lain Going "come oooon mom, more chores? can't I have a moment to sit down?" is not being cruel, it's being normal. The point of Jesus' incarnation is to live and understand the human condition fully and still forgive humanity being fully aware of it, so this is 100% canonical behaviour.
I think you focus too much in the idealized vision of Jesus to the point you sideline the conceptual reason for Jesus. He wasn't perfect in the sense of living a completely spotless life like some buddha, that would have gone directly against his function, and would have greatly undermined his ability to blend in and have human relationships, in turn making it impossible to let him experience life as a man.

@nerthos @lain he was sinless. as an incarnation of God he was more spotless than the buddha who only became sinless. but I just read multiple translations of john 2 and he doesnt sound cruel to her like he does in the KJV imo. I guess calling her "woman" just sounds cruel in english. but apparently Catholic interpretation uses that as proof she is the new eve, and the miracle at cana is her intercession? thats not unreasonable.

@georgia @lain Sins are very specific things. Responding to your mom in an annoyed/vaguely rude tone is not a sin.

"calling her woman sounds cruel in english" is wild to me. In Spanish, calling men man and women woman as a way of addressing them is perfectly normal, informal but not rude at all.

@georgia @lain @nerthos what? I always thought it was because Jesus didn't want to start doing miracles and getting the whole shindig rolling yet. You start doing miracles, you draw the heat, you fulfill all these prophecies, you get crucified.

I understand his reluctance, just wanted to be comfy with people he knew with the time he had

@Guiles @lain @nerthos yeah in my second reading by my hour is not yet at hand he meant he wasnt glorified yet, or it wasnt time for him to work miracles yet
