But that was not his name! More likely as one non-worshipful
group has it Reb(Rabbi) Jesuwah or even Yesuwah. Jesus is just a
transcription from Aramaic to Greek or Roman Latin.
Which confusion is sort of typical of religion from what
I have read.
350 B.C. Proverbs, 31:6-7: "Give strong drink to him who is
perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress; let them drink
and forget their poverty, and remember their misery no more."
GENESIS 1; 11,12: And God said,"Let the earth burst forth
with every sort of grass and seed-bearing plant." And so it
was,and God was pleased. GENESIS 1; 29,31: "And look! I have
given you the seed-bearing plants throughout the earth for your
food." Then God looked over all that he had made,and it was
excellent in every way. Taken from "THE LIVING BIBLE"
Now those are anti-prohibition statements if I have
ever read any. Yet the Xian Progressives of the Early 20th
Century dared to forget them and inflicted the plague of
prohibition of alcohol and other substances upon the people
so it is no wonder that G*d (if an Existant operator) should
inflict punishment on those neglecting a Possibly Holy Word.
Or maybe working from natural principle of human behavior
Prohibition of goods contains within itself its own dire
punishment of enrichment of criminals and corruption of
the officers of the state.
