I hear you Billy....

I am just wondering though, that if you think that Jesus was the best carpenter ever,,,,

Then do you think he did his work as a carpenter for free?
I assume he was the best as well... Of course as you say the Bible does NOT say.

But I think Jesus would have practiced GREAT customer relations, GREAT Business principles, Great and Quality work.

So with all of this I don't see how he would have failed to provide from His mother very well.

As far as material wealth, it is my belief that outside of the Father, Jesus was the wealthiest to ever set foot on the earth. There were certainly others like Lucifer, Job, Solomon, etc, yet none with the wealth that Jesus held.

One neat thing He did was pay the taxes for TWO men with the coin out of a fish's mouth! Remember that all things of the Father was given Him and one would struggle to fathom His material wealth in the heavenly realms.

Context is vital to understanding the concept of being without something as far as material things. I often think about transparent Gold that is in the capital city of God. Can you imagine what that is like? I have seen gold but never transparent gold.


Word up!

Objection ... Speculative. :smile:

I assume that the Lord Jesus was paid for His work like His father Joseph was.

But to imply that the Lord was rich living high.. No way.

He said they that be rich live in Kings Palaces.He was the Suffering Servant.



There is not a single text of Scripture to prove the bling bling

show me the money type of "christ".

The real Jesus did not come here to be served but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many.

**The verses on this are in Saint Matthew 11: 8 And Luke 7:25.

The verses do not use the word rich.I some how forgot the verse and by human error misquoted the passage.Sighs.

I do not think the Lord lived a plush delicate lifestyle.

He was a carpenter.

I was thinking about this this morning.


Years ago in the 70's i read a book by Rev.Kenneth Hagin entitled

"Redeemed From Poverty,Sickness and Death."

It was a good book.

I never said that Jesus lived "high" or "bling bling."

But I do NOT believe that he left his mother at 30 years of age and had not provided for her.

That is why I believe that he had made enough money to take care of his mother for the rest of her life.

Jesus thought a lot of Saint John to have him take her in and care for her.

How could Jesus the handyman not make a lot of money?

He installs a door for someone. Well did he do a GREAT job at a great price, OR a bad job at a high price? I think the answer is GREAT job GREAT price.

The person he installed the door for is so impressed they tell everybody OR they are mad at his terrible work and bad mouthed him all over town? I think the answer is they told everybody.

Result Jesus has more work than he can take care of and hires many workers moves into a large building and becomes very rich. Rich enough to provide for his mom for the rest of her life and to retire at 30 years of age and begin his ministry.

Agree or Disagree?
Oh, indeed he may have been the best carpenter ever. But your story makes a lot of assumptions. Why does the "best every" have more work than he can take care of? You are assuming that. You are also assuming that he hires many workers, moves into a large building. You assuming that he is making a tidy profit (becoming rich) when he might be doing work for those that can't afford to pay or he might be giving his earnings to the poor. Finally I wonder why, when hanging on the cross the Bible says he looked at John and said behold your mother (when she was not his mother) and that he, John, took her into his house, not back to her big house. Yeah, the best carpenter ever... i might agree with, the rest of the story.... not so much
