MODERATORS
Being a carpenter and being an employed carpenter are very different situations.
Jesus was a king first, carpenter second!
His dad was a carpenter so it was just his last name. Jesus Christ Carpenter. Like John Carpenter makes movies not shelves.
I'm not even sure I get the point this comic is trying to make.
It sounds vaguely like an impossible standards kind of thing, except, well, having a job, any job, is kind of a reasonable expectation. And if it's specifically a commentary about standards held by women, since the only context clue we have on who these are is "Ladies"... it sounds like incel-ish complaining.
I believe you've hit the nail on the head
Where in the bible does it explicitly say Jesus was a virgin.
Jesus was the original nepo baby
He was a carpenter?? So more like: his mistake was being an artisan in a society that only wants mass-produced cheap shit.
Or possibly a stone mason, weirdly.
Huh? I haven't heard of that before.
Right? The two words used in the bible that are translated, by tradition, into "carpenter" actually translate as "craftsman" and "builder". Jesus helped build houses, which at the time and in that region were made of stone. So there is some strong evidence that Jesus was a stone mason. To back that up, a lot of his parables used house-building as an aid.
We can't know for sure, but yeah! Kinda neat, huh?
Huh, that's interesting.
Next time, leave the garbage on Reddit where it belongs.
