Would Jesus Blog?

Blogger friend Lores, over at her place, poses an interesting question. Would Jesus blog?

I have to admit, my first impression of that question was the thought, "Of course not", but that was before I gave it the benefit of consideration. The more I think about that question, the more compelling it becomes.

First of all, to me, I would think it to be a very popular blog, with a large readership, not just among the "amen chorus", but also among those that strenuously disagree. And then there would be the occasional troll, and of course, spammers.

I wonder if He would use word verification?

Do you think that He would respond directly to those who argue with Him in His comments, or ignore them, and let other commentators argue for Him? I kind of think that He would blow away any arguments in His first attempt. Then again, would His post alone be so thoroughly convincing that He wouldn't get any argument to begin with?

I first thought Jesus wouldn't garner any objections to His comments at all because they are so completely logical and unassailable. My Bible (I say "my Bible" because it would appear that some of my commentators often appear to refer to a different Bible than the one I read, and I don't mean different translation) tells me that Jesus "spoke as one having authority". But then I remembered that he had more than His fair share of enemies during His 3 year ministry on Earth. Now I believe He would not only have plenty of objections, but there would no doubt be a liberal use of the flag button by those who would seek to silence Him in their anger over His precepts. And I mean "liberal" with a small "l".

Then, there is the question of what He would choose as the subject for His posts. Would He confine His comments to His message of love and salvation? Would he deal with the hypocrisy of religion? Politics? Would He be humorous, judgmental?

ER has questioned whether Jesus is a Liberal. Would He blog from a Liberal viewpoint or Conservative?

Then there's this to consider:

If God had waited until the world attained this level of technology to send His Son to "save the world", we would, as a global community, certainly be in a completely different situation. There would be no Christian Religion as we know it. How much more depraved and immoral would our society be if God had waited this long to send Jesus to save us from ourselves? I started to say there would be no one for the Muslim extremist to hate and carry out murderous attacks upon, but then I remembered. They hate Jews worse than they hate Christians.

I won't delve any deeper into the religious implications other than to say, that the world would definitely be in a much more precarious position, apocolyptically, than it is now, if that is even possible.

So, I am guessing that there are probably a thousand and one other questions and scenarios that could be brought up and discussed at length on this concept, but I will leave it as it lies for now.

I am certain that Pastor Tim has an interesting take on this question. I'd be interested in reading what other's have to say as well. Not just him.
