Entry: Theosis in White Harlem Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/theosis_in_white_harlem#8551 Post contents: <I>What do you think the discussions between Jesus (around 35 years old) and his young Apostles sounded like in circa 30 AD? What, do you think Jesus did nothing but declaim and proclaim somber, humourless lectures to his 12 best friends and constant companions?</I> Given that he knew why he was here, yeah, I think the conversations were rather solemn somber and sober. He was about his Father's business. I know it is much easier for us to think of Jesus as just another guy kicking back and jaw-boning with his buddies but by the time he was 12 he was teaching in the Temple not doing stand-up in the Catskills. The idea of Theosis is in exactly the opposite direction of imagining Jesus (35?) having all night bull sessions like we do. Sent at: 2008 09 07
