As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
What if Jesus was a fat man?
I have been thinking about this, as I was looking through a children's Bible, and that Jesus was golden haired and so buff that he could have starred in as a swashbuckler.
I am not going to get into that black power nonsense lying about Jesus being a Judahite in being "black", because we know from Egyptian hieroglyphics and descriptions in the Bible that the Sons of Eber, that is where Hebrew comes from did not look in the least like Egyptians who were of the Hamite line.
The Sons of Eber were like all Northwestern European to Commonwealth Caucasian type in having red, black, brown and blonde hair, with eye colors from brown to blue. If it requires repeating Laban who was Jacob or Israel's Uncle and he married two of Laban's daughters, has a name that means "white".
David is described as ruddy, pink or Irish type skinned.
Esau was red haired in being Jacob's brother.
The main point being that Israelites who are the ancestors of modern American and Western peoples were of a white type running from pale to swarthy. It simply is a fact.
I state that because all are saved in Jesus if they confess Him as their Savior. So I ask again, what if Jesus was a fat man?
I think that only two fat men are named in the Bible. Eglon king of Moab was fat and when stabbed the fat enclosed on the dagger and Eli was a fat old man who was High Priest and when he heard that his sons were dead and the Ark of the Lord was taken by the Philistines, he fell over and broke his neck.
There are 105 verses mentioning the word "fat" and in most cases it is a sign of the goodness of God in the fat of the land or a people who had peace and rest.
God did predict though that when the Israelites or the Americans had all the security, wealth and peace, then they would become fat and remove God from them...and that has happened.
"For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant."
It used to be like Shakespeare in people liked having fat people around, as they were always jolly. You had to watch out for the Cassius in the lean and hungry look about them, as the always had something evil being concocted to murder you.
So I ask, "What if Jesus was a fat man?"
Why is it that people in this modern era have been so conditioned to despise people who are overweight?
In the 1800's women were for the most part fat, who were the icons. That is not to say they were fat, but they were buxom with curves, and it bothered no one if a woman was fat. It usually meant she was an excellent cook and good at what she did. Most men wanted a big boned woman, as a skinny little thing broke down during the years harnessing horses and doing the work.
Squaws were all fat things when they had the eats and it was a sign of plenty.
Too many people want to be what they are not. Benjamin Franklin was a bald, fat man with gout, and he was still having women chasing him in Paris in his 70's. Orson Wells was told by his doctor like 30 years before he died, that he had to stop being fat, stop smoking cigars and stop drinking wine or he would die young. He kept right on enjoying life and lived to a ripe old age.
My Aunties were all robust women on my Grampa's side of the family. I figure they dressed out at about 200 pound when they were 50 year old. By the time they were 80, they had lost all that extra as most old people stop eating as much and as my 105 year old great Auntie said, "I got my girlish figure back again."
Being fat is a hedge against bad times. A fat person lives through a 7 year famine, while the skinny ones have the hogs chewing on them at the end of the first year.
Like Christmas and Easter, being fat is a thing to be exploited for econmics, to which predators prey on people, trying to make them into some freaks like Michael Jackson. God made people exactly as they are and they are perfect in His making. I have met enough people who thought themselves pretty, and they are miserable and ugly inside. Their image is their entire world and they are nothing but culls.
So what if Jesus was a fat man? Would people reject Him more than they do now in Him being a golden haired Adonis?
Would Michelle Obama lipo suction his big gut and ridicule Him?
Just what if Jesus was a fat man, as if you do things to fat people in the least of the children of God, you do them directly to Jesus?
John Wayne's best career days were when he was a one lunged fat man.
I will repeat a reality that all of the stars and models placed before you, would lose all of their appeal when in real life naked. That is the way it is, God makes few perfect bodies and all of them are best clothed as something is either too small or too large.
So what if Jesus was a fat man? Would Michelle Obama say, "I ain't being saved by no fat Jesus, so I got the Equalz here with his man boobs, grey hair who is making my life hell..........."
Yes there is a Euclidean perfection in what is pleasing to the eye. That though is not of this world. You will notice in Heaven, that people all have robes on along with crowns as nothing of body type will matter, and it should not now.
A fat people is a sign of peace and enough to eat in plenty. That is a good thing. The people who running themselves to death and dieting themselves to death, are indeed doing just that, and are miserable in being in turmoil inside as they hate who they are.
Some in that fringe get a high off of the pain and are addicted to it, as they enjoy the suffering punishment.
So was Jesus a fat man? Well let us see, in his ministry was around 3 years.........and what was the reality of how it started? Yes, I recall a fast of 40 days and nights........and Jesus saying later that demons would not be rebuked in some cases without prayer and fasting.
Jesus survived not eating or drinking anything for almost a month and a half. That would put the skinny on anyone.
His work for the Father, had Him walking dozens of miles and always on the move constantly, as He was being hunted to be murdered by the Sanhedrin.
It requires great energy to deal with crowds, who are sucking healing energy out of you, and always badgering you about something.
Foxes have hole and birds of the air nests, but Jesus said He had no place to rest His head.
So how much of a fat man would you be, if you started out in a famine to have satan test you? How fat man would you be having to fast and pray all the time to do God's work? How fat would you be walking from town to town, without a home of your own?
Jesus did no go to the gym as there were no gyms. He was not out pumping rocks either. He simply worked constantly, had no time to rest, and food was not high calorie in brown bread.
Fat people used to be welcome as the majority were not up to mischief. The evil rich ones usually got gout which was the rich man's disease, where they howled in pain, and everyone, including the poor fat people enjoyed the recompense with a jolly laugh.
The point in this, if Jesus was a fat man, a bald man, a man with a limp, an old man, a man who was a cripple, would it matter? If it does to you, the reality is that there is no Gospel in your hearts and you are on the way to hell. The reality is, if you are busy judging and condemning people out of your misery in their being fat, that you are being judged and condemned by those same flawed standards, as what you do to the least, you do unto Christ.
It is what is in a person's heart which matters, as the day comes when Muchelle Obama is running for her life in the Great Tribulation, she is not going to be not begging for help from a fat man, his fat wife, their fat children and their fat dog.
People who want to change others or entire groups, are failures who could not achieve that goal to change themselves.
What if Jesus was a fat man? Would you go to hell for it? Most of you are on the way to hell in His being a skinny man, so what does that say about you eh?
