Dragonblade01 11/27/17 7:42:12 PM #14:	Jesus's teachings were contextually interesting because, in a lot of ways, they went against the traditional orthodox culture of the time (not the least of which was being far more inclusive to non-Jewish people).

He's not really saying anything unique or profound. This. Of course things like "treat others how you want to be treated" and general ideologies and practices in kindness, generosity and other inherently socially positive traits are good teachings, but they are certainly not strictly applicable to him. I wouldn't give him any more credit than anyone else teaching the same ideas, and they are generally accepted as common sense, though I admit they are not practiced as widely as they should be, but shitty people will be shitty and horrible circumstances can darken minds. --- Machete (ImTheMacheteGuy uses this account on phone mostly) <cite>FigureOfSpeech posted [p:891167517] in Even if at...

The ones who brought the oil went to the wedding party and the ones who didn't bring it had to take time and get some, and they were locked out from the party.
