The kept man Jesus in a Luke remark...

Wed Jan 05, 2011 5:35 am » by **Tertiusgaudens**

Luke 8:3:...αἵτινες διηκόνουν αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐταῖς.

litteraly:...who were ministering to him from their substance or wealth.

In our times that would simply mean:

He is a kept man.

If I would live that way...

Jesus worked and earned a living up until the time of His short ministry that paved the way to His crucifixion and resurrection. Around 3 years , I guess. Remember, Joseph owned a carpenter shop where he employed his adopted son.
During His ministry Jesus relied on the charity of others but, does that make Him a "kept" man? Not in my eyes.

So, the point of your inane post is what?

I was kinda thinking about Paul... Yeah, he was kept sometimes, but would you want to be stoned???

Saul (Paul) worked as a tent maker after his conversion. Prior, he was a Pharisee and they didn't hand those positions out to kept men.

Tertius uses a kind of "reverse" psychology on people in order to get the response that he craves.. the man is a genius really.

But other people might not be so please once they catch on to his little game.

Maybe he will disappear as Tertius and make a new account?

Actually, he was a tent maker before his conversion too. :sunny:
