Not worthy! Etc.<BR/><BR/>I'm just now wondering if that may be one facet of what pushes people's buttons at the idea of depicting Jesus in conversation with a mere mortal (as in, say, "The Book of Daniel"--assuming one can objectively critique or imagine correctly what a Jesus in the here and now would look like, sound, and say).<BR/><BR/>The discomfort you identify (and I know I've felt) would make it easier to simply dismiss any such portrayal. Or not--I can't know what is in anyone else's heart simply by how that person may respond.Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664846951194175105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1136765340971774962006-01-08T16:09:00.000-08:002006-01-08T16:09:00.000-08:00Thank you.
