Great question from another site, Jesus was a carpenter what did he build ?
A strange paradox here. We have a man who is said to be a carpenter. Apparently this is the business of the father, Joseph, and it is passed on to the son. My first thoughts are how much wood was in Israel and how many things there were built out of wood 2000 years ago. Did people have wooden houses there at the time? Perhaps this word "carpenter" really means something else. Let us suppose that the translated word means "builder" or "laborer." This seems to fit as little better.
The next thing is that he was a fisherman and his followers were mostly fishermen, and we have those gospel-verse times where they are all on fishing boats in the sea complete with scary storms and men afraid enough to where Jesus calmed the waters. (That sea of Galilee was a bitch that way.) Was this is the book just so Jesus could make his followers "fishers of men" and later walk on water? Who knows. As usual, we have contradictory stories.
Beware! Storms on the sea of Galilee are coming in tonight so strongly that nighttime fishermen will be scared and also people on land in close proximity. The good news is that it is not a hurricane.
Jesus built the pyramids.
With the help of aliens.
And Bob the Builder.
A great reputation that lasted 2000 years?
Just goes to show repeat a lie enough times it becomes fact!
Like the Obstructionist republicans and their insane criminal trump!!!
Don't know about Jesus but Eve was the first carpenter.
She made Adam's banana stand.
A pretty good bookcase, the buffet and hutch that Mary and Joseph used and a table that had one leg slightly too short do they had to use some offcuts to keep it level.
There was some talk that he would be involved in Ark 2, but to be honest, I think that’s nonsense!
wooden dildo
Oh, the splinters!
There are a few things you can easily surmise from the greatest lie ever sold:
Conclusion - Jesus was no carpenter, was no messiah, no son of God. He was less than ordinary, just an accident, a mistake to say the least.
So was Gepetto and Pinocchio....more real than the alleged baby gawd that never was born nor temporarily dead one Palestinian weekend 1990 years ago on the fake backdated calendar invented after Mohammed
First answer, the word that was used means one who works with his hands, such as a craftsmen. Which can include many professions. Someone in the past simply choose carpenter and it has been tradition ever since with many later writings about his adventures as a carpenter.
Second answer, we don't know that Jesus was a man at all. There is more attributed to the Bible than is actually in the bible. So you may do as is triditional in the evolution of any religion and make up what ever you wish. No one can prove you claims to be wrong.
Good answer, David. Another thing I always looked at is are there many things in that area of the world made out of wood. It does not appear that there were and wooden houses is a new idea there now.
An alleged path out of an alleged vaginal virgin in a dirty donkey stable is this alleged carpenter bullshit story that never happened
No one said he was a good or successful carpenter. This is why he became a free loader. He survived on the couch circuit. Since he could do what he could with the whole water to wine bit, and the fish and loaves of bread bit, he should have opened a chain of eateries. His overhead would have been next to nothing.
